"The Jack McCarthy Cabin"



Classic 1920's Tahoe cabin with modern amenities and just across the street from the Lake! This one-bedroom is roomy and pet friendly with large windows, new memory foam mattress, wood stove, full kitchen and great outdoor space - perfect for couples!

• PET POLICY: Pets are negotiable with rules and an additional fee of $50 (plus tax) PER PET PER STAY. All pet fee(s) may not be included in the total price shown for your booking and will be automatically added and/or requested separately.



• NO A/C: Like 99% of homes here in Lake Tahoe, this property DOES NOT have air conditioning, but fans are provided.



• PARKING: Limited to 2 vehicles (fewer when snow conditions exist). Street parking is never permitted.



• DISCLOSURES: *Wildlife in area. It is possible to have bears, coyotes, raccoons on property and at times, mice or even bats found in homes in the area.



There is a large wrap-around paver-stone patio with a gas grill for summertime cookouts and a wood stove to get cozy and enjoy the ROKU TV plus cable service and DVD player on those chilly Winter nights.

Fully stocked kitchen includes a dishwasher, dishes and cookware, full-size appliances, and a built-in microwave. Kitchen connects with the dining and living area over a wooden breakfast bar for two. The dining area for four is situated directly across from the cabin's original but well-kept wood stove. The living room has ample seating and large floor-to-ceiling windows for plenty of natural sunlight and glimpses of the gorgeous Lake Tahoe. Nearest public beach is just a three minute walk until you reach sand, and the ski resorts aren't far either.

The sole bedroom has a memory foam queen bed, a closet and a wardrobe, plus a newer unitized washer and dryer (updated since photos). There is one bathroom - a simple 3 piece with an oversized shower, toilet and sink.



Great space for a couple or small family. Sleeps 2-4 including the memory foam Queen bed in the single bedroom and the sleeper sofa in living area

Nice and affordable fun stay

This was a great little cabin that’s perfect for small families and pets. We enjoyed sitting on the couch and watching the snow fall in the neighborhood. My one small complaint is the house items are hold/worn out and a few things like linens and dish-ware should be replaced.

Comfortable and Modern Historic Cabin

We were happy to stay for two nights and were vet comfortable as a family of three with a dog. The living area is very roomy with plenty of seating. The queen bed was super comfortable with memory foam. We were going to use the super cute loft for our son, but it was too hot in the heat wave, so he slept on the couch as it was way too hot upstairs. You have to be comfortable or with wobbly ladders to access the loft. The bathroom was very clean and had good pressure and hot water. The kitchen had plenty of equipment and worked fine. Bring your own olive oil and spices. My only drawback was the Wi-Fi. The password we were given did not work. There were three routers, but it didn’t work on any of them. We called The vacation rental folks and they were very friendly but I ultimately not helpful. They needed to contact the owner and said they would get back to me, but never did. This might be a one-time thing. I would also take the “walkable” to businesses under advice. We have a going boy and would not feel comfortable walking into Tahoe Vista or King’s Beach, as you have to walk quite a distance along the side of the road. It it very walkable with the kids to the beach, however. Adults used to walking or cycling will find the location very manageable.

Quick local stay

Came up for one night to visit a friend. Easy process, lovely cabin. Very close to King's Beach and restaurants, without the noise of being on the highway or beach.
