This Truckee cabin strikes the perfect balance between cosy and fun. We can't get enough of the woodland views, particularly from the private hot tub. A media den is ideal for laid-back movie nights, while the games room has shuffleboard and foosball tables for friendly competitions. You'll also have access to a slew of year-round amenities here, including a golf course, communal pools, and a beach club on the shores of Lake Tahoe. Or, for those craving a bit more pace, head to the nearby ski resort for a day on the slopes.

Home truths
One of the super king-size beds is a California king, so it's slightly bigger.
The third bedroom has a bunk bed with a double on the bottom and a single on top.
We suggest having a car in this location. There's parking for three cars on the driveway, and parking for two cars in the garage. Please note that the third garage bay is not available for guests. Four Wheel Drive is recommended in the winter months.
You'll have access to resort amenities here, including cross-country trails, play area, golf course, swimming pools, fitness centre, and lakeside beach clubs. These are shared with other residents.
Your host provides a starter supply of travel-sized toiletries and essentials like paper towels. We recommend picking up a supply to get you through the rest of your stay – there's a store a short drive away.
The lead guest must be at least 25 years old.

Local guide
About Truckee
On the border of California and Nevada, Lake Tahoe is one of the largest bodies of water in the US. As you'd expect, it's an area of astounding beauty, but the lake has also made a name for itself as a centre for both winter sports and water sports, as well as hiking and cycling. The north shore is a bit quieter and more relaxed than the south. While there's still plenty to do (including the annual food and wine festival), you're unlikely to see crowds like you do in other parts of the region.
