Surrounded by towering fir trees, this A-shaped cabin feels like a warm hug – albeit a hug from a very tall person. This is a home where the vibe of the cabin in the woods prevails, but less isolated in a community of other homes. The split-level living room gives enough space for everyone to get together or have alone time, and there's something soothing about the big windows letting the alpine light in, especially as it changes throughout the day. Plus you've got your own decking, a great spot to take a moment for yourself and look out over the peaceful woodland. Ten minutes outside of Tahoe City, this home's a great spot for outdoor adventures – whether you're after horseback riding and river rafting in the summer, or here to ski the famous slopes of Squaw Valley in the winter. After your daily dose of adventure, snuggle up under the rafters. Breathe in and out — it's time to kick back and relax blissfully, perhaps with a fire crackling away in the grate.

Local guide
About North Tahoe
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.
