Twin Peaks Cabin: Air Conditioning, BBQ, Pets

Charming cabin tucked against a peaceful Tahoe hillside and backing to beautiful forest service land, this is the kind of place families picture when they dream about a mountain getaway. Inside, everything feels fresh, warm, and inviting, with a fully remodeled interior, brand-new kitchen and bathrooms, heated floors throughout, air conditioning (a rare treat in Tahoe!), a cozy wood-burning fireplace, and all-new furniture, mattresses, and bedding for total comfort after a day of adventure. Step outside to the spacious front deck for morning coffee in the crisp mountain air or summer BBQ’ing, then head out back where the granite boulders, forest trails, and open space create a natural playground for hiking, snowshoeing, and snowy family fun right from your doorstep. Bring the family dog too; home is pet-friendly.

This home has comfortable sleeping and dining for a family of 6. Parking for 2 vehicles, no street parking. Enforced 24/7

This recently updated 2-story home is laid out for both connection and privacy, with the main entry opening onto a large balcony 15 steps above the parking area. The first level brings everyone together with an open kitchen, dining area, and comfortable living room that make it easy to cook, share meals, watch movies, or unwind after a day around Tahoe. The bedroom layout offers a nice separation of space for families, while every room looks out to the peaceful forested neighborhood, giving the home a quiet, tucked-away feel that matches its mountain setting.

About the Area:
Set in a convenient location near the ‘Y’, where HWY 50 and HWY89 meet. This home makes it easy to enjoy both outdoor adventure and local favorites. You are close to Twin Peaks for hiking, backcountry skiing, and exploring quieter mountain terrain, while everyday essentials are easy to grab at the Raley’s on Emerald Bay Road. When it is time to head out for the evening, enjoy wood-fired pizza, drinks, and live music at AleWorX, sample local craft beers and community events at South Lake Brewing Company, or stop into Classic Cue for a laid-back game of pool.

A short drive of about 3.7 miles brings you to Pope Beach, a beautiful stretch of sand known for swimming, picnicking, and classic Tahoe views. You are also near historic Camp Richardson, a longtime South Shore favorite with dining, beach access, and year-round recreation. For a quieter alpine escape, Fallen Leaf Lake offers a more peaceful, tucked-away setting than Lake Tahoe, with forested shoreline, calm water, and easy access to scenic trails and day trips. Nearby Emerald Bay is one of Tahoe’s most iconic sights, with dramatic blue-green water, sweeping overlooks, Fannette Island, and access to scenic hiking near historic Vikingsholm.
