Charming West Shore Chalet, Great Location, 10 minutes to Homewood Ski Area
Come relax at Lake Tahoe in our family’s charming chalet on the beautiful and peaceful West Shore. Our cabin is updated and completely furnished.
Each of the four bedrooms (two upstairs, two downstairs) contain a queen size bed and all linens are provided for your comfort and convenience. Each bedroom also has individually-controlled baseboard heating. The two bathrooms (one upstairs, one downstairs) have been remodeled and updated.
Just bring your food and favorite beverages and enjoy preparing your meals in the modern and fully stocked kitchen. And if you forget to bring something, the local (and newly remodeled) Tahoma Market is just a short drive or a 10 minute walk. They have great sandwiches too! For coffee drinkers or gelato lovers, check out "Where We Met," a cute little (seasonal) coffee shop just down the street.
During the warm summer days you can relax on the deck and fire up the grill while enjoying the serenity of the West Shore, and when it gets chilly outside you can cozy up inside with a roaring fire in the wood burning stove.
A short walk to the beach -- only two blocks away! Provided with your stay is full access to the beach and pier at the Water’s Edge. Also, you can walk or bike to Sugar Pine Point State Park, or hit the slopes at Homewood Mountain Resort less than 3 miles away.
When the weather permits, you can enjoy spending time at Marie Sluchak Community Park—a charming, small-scale community space, located just down the street at the "Y" where Pine St. meets Wilson Ave. It has a newly updated playground for kids, an amphitheater with stage and seating used for summer live music and movies, and a picnic and BBQ area.
Note about our rates: Our nightly rate includes my cleaning fee. However, Vrbo does charge an additional 14% Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT), which is paid to the county, and a guest service fee. I have no control over these two fees and they are not included in the quoted nightly rate.
We also offer a 15% discount for stays of 7 or more nights.

The location of this cabin is amazing. I stayed here over Thanksgiving with my wife, our small dog, and two of my cousins. It was the perfect size to cook and host Thanksgiving dinner. Another perk is that the cabin is walking distance to markets, the lake, and beautiful hiking paths nearby. We will definitely stay here again!

Absolutely loved our stay in Tahoe! This is not a generic hotel, it’s a real family home with so much warmth and character. The cabin is in great condition, cozy, and incredibly comfortable.
We had everything we needed for family dinners, which made the stay feel extra special. The décor is beautiful and thoughtful, the Lake Tahoe and national park posters are stunning, and the embroidered artwork in our bedroom was such a charming, sweet detail.
We’ll be remembering this winter vacation with a big smile. Thank you for an amazing stay we’d love to come back!
This was a great location its 3 miles from Tahoe city, and close walking distance to access the lake. There are yummy places to eat and get coffee close by. There is also a good size park that is walking distance. Would definitely recommend this place for family’s and adults.
We had a great time at the cabin. Everything was very clean, organized and easy to find. Communication was great, our host Gary answered timely and was always willing to help with accomodations. The property is a jewel, it is big and at the same time cozy. It is equipped with everything we needed. The instructions were very clear and easy to follow. I want to thank The Gutowsky family for opening the doors of this amazing house for us to enjoy. We will definitely stay again.
This cozy cottage is in a perfect location, close to hikes, mountain biking and the beach. Gary is a helpful host, with excellent communication. The cottage was very clean and had everything we needed.
This is the 2nd time we have stayed at this cabin. The owner Gary is quick to respond to questions. The cabin is very clean and well stocked with everything you could need for a great stay. As someone with mobility issues having bedrooms on the ground floor is a must, this cabin has 2 to choose from downstairs. Looking forward to staying there again.
The property was clean, spacious, and had everything we needed for the stay. The location is perfect - walking distance to the lake, a short drive to Tahoe City, and Sugar Pine Point State Park.
Great place. Well stocked. clean and updated. Close to the town in walking distance. Hiking is close by, lake access is easy.Desciption of the place is very accurate.
Convenient location walking distance to the lake. Facility is clean and well maintained. The neighborhood is quiet. We are a family of 7 that had plenty of space for all. Love the outdoor seating for meals and morning coffee. We loved it and hope to come again next year.
We had a great stay here! Close to trails, room to grill and hangout outside, and play boardgames inside. Plenty of space for our group to have big dinners and then cuddle on the couch next to the fire. I would definitely recommend this place!!!
We visited this property with 5 adults, my 3yo toddler and my 2 babies, the location was great and the communication with the property manager was good.
We loved the house and the neighborhood. Short walk across the street to a beautiful beach and lake view. Kitchen was well equipped for family dinners. We had everything we needed. Great coffee shop and tavern about a five minute walk as well as a small market for groceries. Would highly recommend.
Great home and great experience! Only negative was no soap or body wash in the showers. Loved the location and the beach access. We will definitely stay again!
We loved this house. It was very convenient to popular sites and hikes. The house was cozy with the fireplace and plenty of room. Kitchen was well stocked. We would stay here again.
I was very excited to find this space with 4 queen beds! It was very well stocked with all the cooking essentials. Great location. We really enjoyed our stay with our friends and 2 9.5 month daughters!
This was our first time in Tahoe, and this cabin was perfect. The location was great. The owner and property manager were very helpful and communicated well. Definitely recommend.
Gary’s cabin is awesome. The amenities were perfect. This is a great place to disconnect. Thanks Gary!

Gary’s property was perfect for our family of 3 humans and 2 little dogs. Seemed very safe around, just be on the lookout for bears (like anywhere in Lake Tahoe) though we didn’t encounter any!
The chalet itself was super cozy, comfortable and Gary was very communicative if we needed anything. Definitely recommend for a nice, cozy, clean, comfortable stay. My 6 year old daughter especially loved it!
We really enjoyed our stay at this lovely cabin! It had everything we needed and was so comfortable. It was
very clean and well laid out with the 4 bedrooms and
2 baths. We were 4 adults but this cabin could easily
accommodate 8 people. I highly recommend this cabin!
