Build memories in the heart of Kings Beach!

Welcome to Rainbow Cabin, our happy place in Kings Beach! Just a short stroll to Lake Tahoe's shores and local restaurants, this modern 5 (or 6!) bedroom retreat blends comfort with playful charm. Gather around the fireplace in winter, sip wine on the patio in summer, or challenge family to one of our many board games any season. With thoughtful touches at every turn and spaces designed for both togetherness and privacy, our home invites you to create lasting Tahoe memories.

"Amazing host! Beautiful home and perfect for our mom's getaway. We loved every second!" - Layne

I designed Rainbow Cabin from the ground up as the perfect year-round retreat for families and friends wanting to experience the best of Lake Tahoe. What I love most is how it balances togetherness with privacy - our bright, open living area with its cozy fireplace naturally draws everyone together - while five (or 6!) uniquely decorated bedrooms offer peaceful retreats when you need some downtime.

FINAL THOUGHTS
I built this house with my husband, selecting every finish and feature ourselves. We designed it using an eco-friendly building method that creates less waste, and the whimsical decor reflects our belief that vacation homes should feel special and joyful. I take pride in being responsive and attentive to my guests' needs - I may be in St. Louis, but I'm always just a text away!

Whether you're planning a ski weekend with friends, a summer beach vacation with family, or a shoulder-season hiking retreat, Rainbow Cabin offers the perfect blend of comfort, style, and convenience. Many guests tell me they appreciate our "happy house" vibe and often book return stays for different seasons.
Come experience Lake Tahoe from our colorful, comfortable home - we can't wait to host you!

Policies

Special check-in instructions

An adult age 18 or older must assume all liability for the booking
You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions

Check-out instructions

The host requires you complete the following before checking out:
DON'T strip or make your bed! BUT if you could help us distinguish USED beds versus CLEAN, that would be great! Then our cleaners only wash dirty linens - saving significant water, energy and time
Collect all used towels and pile on bathroom floor (or bathtub or sink). They always look at the towels/beds, but it makes it easier on them if you can clearly distinguish clean from dirty!
Collect all the trash and put it in the bearbox and/or the garage. That's it! Thank you for your help!

Great house

We had a great stay! The house was really spacious and comfortable. There was plenty of room for our group of 6 adults and 4 kids. The location can’t be beat, close to everything including the lake. The house was also well stocked and had everything we needed. We loved using the grill! We will stay here again.

Amazing House Walking Distance to Everything

Wonderful house walking distance to the beach and to local restaurants and shops. 5 bedrooms so every kid had their own room and lots of bathrooms too. I want to rent this house every year.

First of all shout out to the property management, they were great in all aspects. The house was clean, perfectly located and the layout is great for hanging out with family. Will likely be back next year to enjoy this property again.

Great getaway

The house was very clean and well appointed. The beds were comfortable. It was two blocks from the beach. Three rooms are en-suite and two rooms share a full bath with a powder room downstairs. I would stay here again with delight.

Rainbow Retreat

I’ve been renting family vacation houses for 32 years and this one is in the top 3. Almost every bedroom has a bathroom, the location is close to activity, easy walking distances for a busy family meeting friends, nicely appointed kitchen for cooking - checked off nearly all my boxes. Would definitely rent it again! Thank you for a clean and cared-for property.

Great house in North Tahoe!

House was great! What you see in pics is exactly what you get. Grill & fire pit in back was nice. Location couldn’t be better. Just 5 minutes out front door. Safeway less than a mile away so you can pick up your groceries & alcohol there. Highly recommend this rental!

Wonderful stay in beautiful new house

So many things to love about this property! The beach is right across the street, and the sunsets are gorgeous. Very quick access to Northstar, Truckee and Incline Village. We found a new place to hike each day. The house is exactly as pictured and filled with amenities that make it feel like home. We cooked an entire Thanksgiving dinner for 8! Living area is well suited for playing games or hanging out. Beds and pillows are super comfy. Highly recommend!

Would stay here again!

Rainbow Cabin is what is described in the listing! My large family enjoyed our stay very much and would love to stay here again. There is a nice big backyard, where we were able to enjoy the snow. I had great communication with the host, Cecilia, who made sure we had everything we needed and more. The kitchen had everything you’d need to cook and bake. The bathrooms were stocked with lots of towels, toilet paper, and toiletries in case you forgot any. The bedrooms were super cute, cozy, and comfortable. I love that most of the bedrooms had their own bathrooms. It was easy to feel at home. The downstairs bedroom is perfect if you have anyone that cannot walk up and down stairs. The beach, grocery stores, many shops are within walking distance. We had 3 cars, so we appreciated being able to park in the garage and driveway. Thank you for the amazing stay!

Rainbow Retreat

We rented Rainbow Retreat for a weeks family vacation. There were 8 adults and a 3.5 yr old. The house held us all wonderfully. The beds were VERY comfortable and the bedrooms ample. The 4.5 bathrooms were clean and plentiful....no line no wait. The location is as good as it gets. A short 4 minute walk to Kings Beach and all the shops close by along with easy access to walking trails make this a 5 star VRBO. We cooked a lot of meals and the kitchen and island made it easy to crank out the meals. The gas fireplace made the cool alpine nights cozy and comfy. The furnishings and decoration are both comfortable and subtle. We all loved our stay at Rainbow Cottage! We hope to return!

All Sunshine Stay at Rainbow Retreat

We had lovely time staying at Rainbow retreat. First off, the owners did a wonderful job. The home is so warm, inviting, and fresh. There are plenty of rooms. Every room is well appointed and designed. The kitchen and family room are so fabulous to sit in and relax, enjoy a glass of wine and watch a movie. Now, that's not all. This home is so close to so much. We walked a block away to get a delicious lavender latte at the Treehouse cafe. I think I literally walked a block to rent an e-bike and did a brilliant bike trip on the lake. Then just one block walk from the home to the beach. There are plenty of restaurants nearby as well as places to rent kayaks or go parasailing. It's really a great place for a family to visit or a group of friends. You'll love your stay here.

I. LOVE. THIS. HOUSE.

I absolutely loved this property! It is completely brand new and redone, and they did everything to perfection. The house is super clean, colorful, comfortable, spacious and fun. They really paid attention to the details - from the fantastic art, to the cozy furnishings, to the color and cheeriness of each and every room. Our two families (with kids) stayed for several nights and had plenty of room and space. We were so comfortable we wanted to stay longer. The kids especially enjoyed playing in the snow in the large, fenced in backyard. This was a godsend - snow forts and snowball fights galore (i.e., hours outside). The proximity to the beach, shops and restaurants is unbeatable. We were able to walk to Whitecaps Pizza (great) to pick up our order and bring home - no biggie even in the middle of winter. The property manager was friendly and responsive. All around this was a fantastic trip, and we can't wait to book again. I bet it is even better in the summer with its ideal location, in close proximity to the lake. We will be back for that!

Great for 2 families!

This house was perfect for two families to stay for the week. Total of 4 adults and 5 kids ages 9, 7, 5, and 2 yr old twins. The two master bedrooms made it a plus for the adults. Easy access to King’s Beach and restaurants as it’s only 1 block off the main road. There’s even a cute little library at the end of the block that the 2 year olds enjoyed. Hiking trails a few blocks behind the house. We had no issues with parking 2 cars. Would absolutely recommend if you’re looking to stay near King’s Beach!
