This charming cottage boasts a remarkable location on Lake Tahoe. The beach is steps away, just across the street, and Tahoe City is ten minutes away.

The cottage is traditionally rustic, with dark hardwood floors and a stunning floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace. Best of all, you’ll have a private deck to relax on and enjoy lake views.
