Reset and Relax
Shelia and Eric are INCREDIBLE!! They go above and beyond. They are incredible and their home is just as special! Our family was able to relax and reconnect. The home has a way of bringing everyone together with the amazing views, crystal clear lake, and serene ambiance. The house feels like home and is equipped with items a family needs. We will not return to Tahoe unless we can stay at Shelia and Eric’s home.

Such a jewel
This charming lake front cabin has it all: amazing views, your own dock, fireplace, well-stocked kitchen, and a peaceful setting. Plus the owners added so many delightful details like little pinecones & greenery on window ledges or fun selection of games to make the stay homey. I almost forgot to mention the best feature of the place - the large porch facing the lake. It was everybody's favorite place.

Amazing lakefront cottage
The perfect spot for a long weekend with my family. My wife and I along with 3 boys ages 10, 8 and 5. The location is perfect and the cottage is just steps from the water. They had all the water and yard toys ready to go and in great condition. The house was super clean and could not be a cuter more quintessential Tahoe cottage. Had a blast and can’t wait to come back again.

Amazing property
My family stayed here for 4 nights for Thanksgiving holiday. The home is directly on the lake and has its own private pier! The back porch, we spent most of our time, enjoying the tranquility and beauty of Lake Tahoe! Our grandchildren loved having a real fireplace! The home is beautiful, warm and cozy! Owners were super nice! Can't wait to go back!!!!!

Amazing Home
My family and I ( and our dog) stayed here October 17-19, 2023. The home was exactly as presented and had everything we could possibly need for our visit. The fully stocked kitchen made cooking a breeze! This large house was beautifully decorated had plenty of room to gather for group activities and meals and for time alone to nap, read or whatever. The beds are the coziest ! All this said, the front porch and dock/deck on the water is where we spent most of our time. Our dog Raya loved playing fetch both in the enclosed yard and in the water. The weather was spectacular and we enjoyed every moment on the lake. We met our hosts who were friendly yet fully respectful of our privacy. This is an amazing place and we thank you, Sheila- we hope to be back next year!

I feel so fortunate to have found this enchanted cottage on the lake! I was celebrating a birthday & friends, family & our beloved furry baby Rufus were all there with me! I hope to come back in the summer for the warmer weather.

Perfect location, every amenity imaginable
We loved it. Great part of the lake, not too crowded, but still lots of great restaurants nearby and a quick drive to Sandy Harbor. The house has everything you could want, from a full kitchen, to water toys, to gas grill, fireplace, board games, TV, it just goes on. Super great communication from the owners who are nearby. Great weekend, we'll be back!
