    Beach chairsAdditional sleeping loftClassic tahoe cabinWell-maintained pierYear-round creekExisting furnitureWatercraft storage
    Step into this classic Tahoe cabin and enjoy the best of both lake and forest living. This quaint 2-bedroom retreat, with an additional sleeping loft, comes with existing furniture to enjoy immediate use. While not fancy, the unpretentious cabin is warm, welcoming, and full of classic Tahoe charm. Ownership includes optional membership in the highly sought-after Lake Forest #3 Property Owners Association, offering incredible lake access with a large buoy field (a rare and valuable amenity in North Lake Tahoe), a well-maintained pier, beach chairs, watercraft storage, and tennis/bocce courts. Whether you’re boating, kayaking, or paddleboarding, the Property Owners’ Beach and Pier area offers exceptionally convenient storage/access for all your watercraft, making summertime lake adventures effortless. The cabin sits on a wonderful lot that backs directly to forest open space and a year-round creek. Trails right out the back door connect you to the Tahoe City Nordic Center, the Tahoe City bike path, Dollar Reservoir, and endless miles of hiking and biking. With this mix of lakefront perks and direct trail access, the location is unmatched. Once you spend time here, you’ll understand why the same owners cherished this sweet little cabin for many years.
