From your doorstep, you're moments from sandy beaches, world-class skiing at Heavenly, hiking trails through ancient forests, and some of the finest dining the Tahoe Basin has to offer.

Heavenly Ski Resort ~15 minutes
Lake Tahoe Beach ~3 minutes

We've stayed at resorts all over Tahoe, but this cabin felt different. It wasn't just a place to sleep — it was the destination itself.
