Steps to Trails & Minutes to Heavenly + Firepit | Bluewood Cabin by AvantStay

Welcome to Bluewood Cabin by AvantStay!

Nestled among towering pines in the heart of South Lake Tahoe, this cozy mountain escape blends rustic charm with everyday comfort — the perfect home base for year-round adventure. Just minutes from Heavenly Mountain Resort, the lakefront, and Tahoe’s lively dining scene, Bluewood Cabin offers easy access to skiing, hiking, and lake days while keeping you tucked away in peaceful surroundings. Step outside your door to discover picturesque hiking trails like Angora Ridge, Washoe Meadows, and Tahoe Mountain — or hop on the paved walking and biking path that leads straight to The Y in South Lake Tahoe, where local shops, cafes, and restaurants await.

Inside, you’ll be greeted by the warmth of natural wood tones and an inviting open layout. The living room centers around a stone fireplace — perfect for fireside evenings after a day on the slopes — with plush couches and a large TV for movie nights or morning coffee with a view. The adjacent dining area seats six, connecting seamlessly to the fully equipped kitchen stocked with all the essentials for effortless home-cooked meals.

Step outside to your private deck, where a BBQ grill and dining table for four invite you to unwind beneath the trees. Enjoy quiet mornings surrounded by nature or starlit dinners in the fresh mountain air. Beyond the deck, a fully fenced backyard offers space for furry friends to roam safely — making this retreat as pet-friendly as it is peaceful.

When it’s time to rest, the primary suite offers a king bed and ensuite bathroom with a walk-in shower, while the second bedroom features two queen beds, ideal for families or friends traveling together. With two bathrooms, thoughtful details throughout, and plenty of warmth in every corner, this cabin was made for reconnecting — with nature, and each other.

Whether you’re here for a snow-filled getaway, a summer lake escape, or simply a breath of fresh pine air, Bluewood Cabin is your Tahoe retreat for every season.

AvantStay provides an upscale experience with services that elevate your stay and save time so you can enjoy every moment.

Situated in the snowy Sierra Nevada Mountain range straddling the border between California and Nevada, Lake Tahoe offers stunning panoramic scenery and year-round adventure. Winter sports enthusiasts love to conquer dramatic slopes that seem to fall into the abyss of the lake's cobalt blue water. Whether you're looking for a day in the mountains or a booze cruise on the lake, you can have it all in Tahoe!
