Peaceful retreat that is walking distance from the Lake shore

The pair of us and a Welsh Terrier really enjoyed our 2 night stay. A peaceful nights sleep for all, plus we ate in both nights and pleased to report all kitchen equipment is present along with all the other excellent facilities. You can take a brief walk to the Lake shore or to a local store for provisions. The yard at the back is excellent for the dog and you are centrally based to visit the North or South of the Lake with many trails nearby to enjoy. Thank you so much for an enjoyable stay.

Clean, cozy, and comfortable

We thought from the ad, this was only an apartment above a garage. Instead it was a whole house! The owner thought of everything you could possibly need. It was all good.

Wonderful little cabin

We had a great time at Sarina’s place. The cabin is very clean and everything is well organized and labeled. It’s a 3 minute drive to Homewood, 25 min to Palisades Tahoe and 15 min to Tahoe City. It was spacious enough for our family of 4 + one dog. Highly recommended.

Summer Lake Tahoe family trip

Sarina made us feel very welcome with all of the special touches that showed that she really anticipates the needs of her guests. The kitchen was well organized and labeled. There were a lot of towels and hotel type toiletries in case you forgot your toothbrush or shower essentials. There are a lot of comfortable couches and a nice table. We didn't have a dog with us, but there was a dog crate, dog treats and a nice area out back to play. A couple notes for older visitors: There are steep stairs going to the unit since it is above the garage. The bed is very firm. Since we were spending a lot of time with family at a bigger place, we didn't spend a lot of time here. It was a nice retreat from all of the family activity to be able to come back and enjoy a slower-paced evening and morning.
