Custom South Lake Tahoe Cottage for 6 Close to Parks and Beaches

Cottage Charms

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Welcome to South Lake Tahoe! This 2BR/2BA custom cottage (sleeps 6) feels like home…but with incredibly pristine natural beauty just beyond the front door! Walk or drive to South Lake Tahoe’s best parks and beaches. Hit the mountains for scenic skiing and hiking. Or stroll to dinner! Try Café Fiore for Italian, Blue Angel Café for pub fare, and Nepheles for Californian cuisine -- all within a few minutes’ walk.

Or don’t go anywhere at all: this cottage has a lovely fenced, grassy backyard that’s perfect for leisurely afternoons. Play a card game at the outdoor table while the kids play tag!

INSIDE THE COTTAGE

Inside, wood and travertine floors add a luxury touch. So do the custom kitchen cabinets and stainless steel appliances in the gourmet kitchen. Meanwhile, high ceilings and an open-concept layout make this the perfect group retreat. Hang out together, but also tuck away for quiet alone time, too!

Cook dinner in the full kitchen, which is fully stocked with all the pots, pans, dishes, and glassware you need to cook and eat. The dining table sits up to six.

Both bedrooms are upstairs. The first has a queen bed and the other has two twin beds. Two more can sleep on the futon in the separate den. Speaking of the den: this bonus room is the perfect place to escape with a book or watch a movie on the small TV.

There are two full bathrooms: one upstairs with the bedrooms and one downstairs by the front door. The upstairs bathroom has a tub/shower combination, while the downstairs bathroom has a walk-in shower.

MORE DETAILS

Complimentary Wi-Fi and a washer/dryer are provided.

Outdoor wood-burning fires and charcoal grills are prohibited per local ordinances.

Tahoe is home to many animals. You may experience bears, raccoons, mice, and other animals. Meadows are home to many rodents. When these areas are filled with water or snow, these animals move to homes in the area. You may experience these animals in or near your home.

THE LOCATION

Enjoy an unbeatable location on Aspen Avenue. Walk to many South Lake Tahoe highlights including beaches, restaurants, parks, and more. And we’re just over a mile to Heavenly Mountain Ski Resort for year-round mountain adventures!

When you get hungry, you don’t have to get in the car to grab something delicious. Blue Angel Café is a 2-minute walk. Or walk a few minutes to Café Fiore for Italian fare and an extensive wine list to go with it. A mile in the other direction takes you to countless more food options on Lake Tahoe Boulevard. This rental is truly in the center of it all!

This home is lovely from the heated floors to the high ceilings & windows cascading light & warmth throughout this home. The location is superb as it is within walking distance to the Lake & hiking & restaurants & shopping. This place is a gem. Vacasa was excellent & I am impressed at how clean this home was & how professional the staff is. I highly recommend!!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house is nice with a fenced yard and a propane grill. The inside is great - nice wood floors, nice bathrooms. The linens are nice and soft. The only drawback was in the kitchen -- a mishmash of cooking pots and pans, plates, cutlery and glasses. It is located in a convenient place in South Lake Tahoe.

The property was in good shape and provided all the basics for a short stay. A very nice yard. The rental could be improved by adding a hot tub, which seems to be fairly standard in most Lake Tahoe rentals. The master bed should be a king size, not the small full/queen. Disappointed with the very limited cable TV channels, particularly the upstairs TV which had no cable TV channels. The master should have a TV of its own.

This is a nice, updated house in a great location close to everything. The overall communication process with the property management company was relatively easy in advance of and during our trip. The house itself is very nice. It's modern, the appliances are high quality, and it really has nice finishings. We loved the fenced yard since we had two dogs with us. We did have to have property management get a pest control company out after check-in, as we killed three spiders within an hour of being there. The upstairs shower only put out freezing cold water, but luckily we could use the downstairs shower during our stay. Property management did offer to send over a handyman, but with COVID, we decided to limit our exposure to another person. My main complaint about the house though is that it really didn't seem clean. I found what appeared to be a puddle of spilled/dried soda in the loft that I had to clean up, and one of the placemats on the kitchen table had dried pasta sauce on it. Behind the futon was also full of debris. Those things made us question in general how clean the house was, and also made us slightly irrigated to be paying a large cleaning fee for an unclean house. Aside from that, we did have a nice stay.

My family just got back from a nightmare stay. The home we rented was freezing for a full 24 hours, with heat running non-stop. Upon arrival, we noticed there was animal hair all over the furniture, bedding, pillows and stairs. There was also dirt and dust all over the entertainment center, table and stair case. We also acknowledged there was a weird rectangular cut in the ceiling but we tried not to think too much about the hole. I text to complain once I finally had a moment and they promised a cleaning lady would arrive at noon the next day. She didnt. We were stuck at the home an entire hour before contacting them again and realizing the cleaning lady wasnt on her way. In this time, we noticed that water dripped from that strange cut out in the ceiling when anyone showered in the upstairs bathroom. They admitted someone "dropped the ball" and didnt fix the water leak the week prior to our arrival and said I needed to make myself available for a handy man to come. One client relations rep said no one would enter the home without our permission and then another told me that they fix what they need to fix and will send someone when they can and I would have to deal with it. I argued that they didnt have my permission to enter the home and luckily was able to speak with another guest relations specialist and they promised that if I didnt use the upstairs bathroom, I could receive a discount on my stay. They then scheduled for cleaning staff to arrive at 6pm, which resulted in another span of wasted time because no one showed up, again! I reached out and nothing was done. Another issue I had was theres a window in the downstairs bathroom that doesnt have a curtain and the places next to the rental can very clearly see you naked inside the shower. I hated that. It was also freezing in that specific bathroom, however, I didnt want to tolerate being flaked on by the handyman or wasting more of my time sitting in the rental when I wanted to play with my kids in the snow. I didnt drive 3 hours to stay in the rental all weekend. Also, I asked for the wifi password and that information was never relayed back to me. I had to fix the upstairs television because the cable wasnt working properly. And lastly, my husband fell down the stairs. The stairs were very slippery. I wish there was a sign up because when my husband slipped his arm got caught in the railing. They basically acted like I was lying but my husband still has visible signs of his injury.

This home is perfect for my family of 4. We really enjoyed staying in the home. I couldn't give it 5 stars because we couldn't get the hot water on the upstair bathroom to work, there a little bit of dog's hair on the duvet of the master bedroom, and lastly the neighbor was parting all night one night of our stay. Overall, we really enjoyed the comfort of this home.

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I rarely write reviews but this time I had to write a review. First of all the vacation home is in a run down neighborhood. There were no incidents but you definitely see very special people around you. But this would be acceptable if at least the house was clean. It was very dirty and even if I contacted turnkey management with pictures of dog hair everywhere, a clogged sind full of hair which felt like from all renters from the last 12 months, dirt and dust everywhere and pans which still had thick layers of burned food in them in the cabinets. I got a response that turnkey will get back to me. I haven’t heard from them ever. Thank you for ruining my stay there and this was the last time I booked through your company if you don’t give me any compensation for it!

We stayed here over the weekend and had the best time. The house was very clean and there were a lot of pans and condiments to use in the kitchen. It was fully stocked, unlike some we’ve stayed at. The best part was having a fenced in yard for our young children to roam around. The garage was a plus too, as the height was much higher than normal so we were able to drive right in with our cargo box on. This will definitely be our go-to house when we’re in Tahoe. It’s close to everything and the house is in great condition.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house was updated and has a very nice yard that is well kept. It is unfortunate that the updates don't seem to be cared for by the cleaning service. There is a lot of mildew in the bathroom and tile. There was dust covering the vent hood in the kitchen and crumbs under the couch cushions. I couldn't locate spare linen for the futon, fortunately we did not need it Very nice appliances throughout. I received a text with in 5 minutes of me arriving asking about housekeeping. Initally in that 5 minutes I thought it looked okay until I settled in and started looking around. I had contacted the management company in regards to an issue prior to arrival and they were very responsive and professional. I hope they change their cleaning is unfortunate their updates are not being cared for throughly.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My friend, my dog and I stayed here for three nights in August. The home is bright and cheery and updated w/ high-end appliances and plumbing fixtures (a big plus if you are an interior designer!) It is a very dog-friendly home w/ a nice fenced yard and within walking distance of the many shops and restaurants at the state line. It was clean upon our arrival - you wouldn't even know that dogs have stayed there in the past. Only a few minor issues: 1) It was very warm the weekend we were there and it was difficult to cool the upstairs enough to sleep comfortably (perhaps an additional fan would help?) 2) The downstairs shower leaked water all over the floor (possibly the shower door seal may need to be replaced?) 3) The instructions on the tablet left at the property said that if there on a trash day you should take the trash cans out to the curb. We were confused by that, as the cans were inside a bear box and it didn't make sense to us to take the cans out of the bear box. We left the cans in the bear box and the garbage company picked up just fine. (The instructions should be updated to avoid confusion in the future.) Overall, we had a really nice stay and would happily stay here again.

We had a great stay in this property. Great location, plenty of space for our family of 3, great amenities, excellent communication. The only downside was the fish odor emanating from the fridge, minor inconvenience for an otherwise fantastic stay.
