Note: After you book this home, you will be required to sign a brief Good Neighbor Contract. This is a requirement of City of South Lake Tahoe (this is based on the City's legal requirements to rent a VHR). The contract will state that you agree to follow all Vacation Home Rental Ordinances. Several of the most important laws will be outlined. Failure to sign this contract in a timely manner will cause your booking to be canceled, and you will be charged a cancellation fee based on our advertised cancellation fee, based on the time of cancellation.

Note on cancellation policy: Please note that booking a visit to Lake Tahoe comes with some risks of guests wishing to cancel and receive a refund due to natural disasters or weather related events. Our cancellation policies are strictly enforced regardless of the reason for cancellation. If you need to reschedule your date, you must be in compliance with cancellation policy first. If there is a blizzard, road closure, fire, smoke, rock slide, avalanche and/or any other natural disasters, our cancellation policy will still be enforced as we cannot expect our property owners to be held accountable for refunds for natural disasters which are expected to occur in the High Sierra Nevada Mountain Range on a constant, regular basis.

WE STRONGLY ENCOURAGE ALL TRAVELERS TO PURCHASE TRAVEL INSURANCE TO ENSURE PROTECTION IN THE EVENT YOU FEEL THE NEED TO CANCEL FOR ANY REASON.

Cleaning fees also include: Maintenance, supplies, restocking costs. This pays for guest consumables (Such as laundry detergent, soaps, shampoos, starter set of paper towels, tp, etc. For longer stays, we ask guests to purchase). Replacement of items such as broken coffee makers, portable heaters, fans, linens, towels and more. Regular trash removal from bear bins to town dump. We ask guests to assist with optional checkout procedures that are very time consuming such as start wash with a load or two of towels. While these procedures are optional for guests, they are highly appreciated to help save our cleaners time, particularly for our back to back turnovers which are very difficult in the Vacation Home Rental industry. – Thank You Lux Villa VR

Great intimate spot in Tahoe. Perfect for a small group. Away enough from the main roads to feel distant, but close enough to get anywhere within 15 minutes.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Check-in was super easy and smooth, and the host was quick to respond. The place was clean, cozy, and really comfortable. The hot tub was definitely our favorite part and we loved how private it felt. Big thanks to the friendly maintenance person who came by to clear the snow from the driveway. We’d definitely book again.

What a great South Lake Tahoe cabin! We felt right at home in this cabin. The entire cabin is super clean.
We ate in for all breakfasts and 1 dinner. Having nice pots/ pans, knives, and dishes was such a treat! It makes cooking more enjoyable.
We enjoyed several afternoons in the hot tub, even during the snow storm!
In the evening, the exterior of the home is lit with market lights. It feels very inviting when arriving back home.

Cute cabin in a great neighborhood. The location is quiet yet just minutes from plenty of activities. The host was very accommodating and communicated very well.

Although there was an issue with the refrigerator not working, the issue was communicated ahead of time. A temporary refrigerator was brought in and it was made clear that if anything was not up to standards it would be handled immediately.
Felt right at home and enjoyed family time for Christmas. Made gingerbread houses, played games and the coffee table was great for building a puzzle. Granddaughters loved the hot tub! Cozy enjoyable environment during a snow storm.

Our stay for me and my husband during thanksgiving was wonderful. We were able to cook a full thanksgiving meal in the kitchen. It was super well-equipped and organized. The cabin was super cute and cozy. The absolute best part was the jacuzzi. We used it everyday and it was huge and the best way to end the day. It’s super close to restaurants, grocery store, the lake, all the things! Lovely stay and we would love to be back!
