Little Bear Cabin by Hauserman Rentals

// This home is a short term rental and ski lease \

**DOGS CONSIDERED**

Centrally located along Lake Tahoe’s North Shore in the town of Tahoe Vista, Little Bear Cabin is a cosy 2 bedroom 2 bathroom home that combines the best of the “old Tahoe” vibe with some modern updates.

The first-floor living area is outfitted with a large sectional sofa, easy chair and flat screen TV, all centred around a toasty-warm woodstove. There's even a retro video game console table for one player or two! The full bathroom just off the living area has laundry facilities as well. The kitchen is basic but functional and fully-equipped, including a small worktop dishwasher. The adjacent dining table seats 4.

Both bedrooms and another bathroom are upstairs. One bedroom has a King bed and a flat screen TV; the second has a Queen bed. Both bedrooms are accessorized with a small electric fireplace for warmth and ambiance. There's a third "unofficial" bedroom with a Double bed and small lounge area with sofa and TV.

The spacious back deck overlooks a lush pine forest with a peek-of-the-lake view and is perfect for a day basking in the sun or an evening barbecuing with friends and family (gas grill available in summer only).

The central North Shore location provides easy access to year-round fun at beaches, ski resorts, and hiking and biking trails. Nearby North Tahoe Regional Park offers tennis and pickle ball courts, children’s playground, disc golf course, treetop adventure course, a dog park, winter sledding, cross country skiing, and snowshoeing.

Little Bear’s Cabin is an ideal space for a group of up to 4 guests to enjoy quality time at beautiful Lake Tahoe. The family dog can even come along, with prior approval, since this is a pet-friendly home!

Parking is limited to 3 spaces.

Beautiful & Convenient for Visitors w/ Dogs

We especially loved the convenient location. Was so nice to be able to walk to the lake as well as the nearby dog park! And then there are also the trails at North Tahoe Regional Park. And the cabin itself is wonderful. Plenty of space for at least 5 people. Nicely furnished, very clean, and well-stocked. Loved the fun touches, like the retro sit-down video game console!

Great Cabin in Tahoe Vista

Property is well laid out and in a nice neighborhood for walking. Great for staying with a dog. Kids enjoyed the basketball hoop and sit down pac-man. House was well equipped. Sitting on the large deck with no homes blocking the view was a nice way to start and end the day. Would recommend

Was a little disappointed that there was no dishwasher, bathrooms need a little work. Would have been nice to let us know to turn up the hot water tank. Probably wouldn't stay here in the winter. The heat is a little questionable. The cabin is cute, great location. Easy parking. Thank you

This was the perfect cabin for my solo getaway with my dog. Indoors stayed cool enough throughout the day, the kitchen was very usable, the grill was great, and the living area was comfy. Many hiking trails are accessible directly from the property, including the entire North Tahoe Regional Park, which is just a less than 5 minute walk from the front door. Despite being in a residential neighborhood, it was unbelievably quiet the entire time. I truly felt alone. There are restaurants and shops only a short walk or 4 minute drive away, and grocery stores within 20 minutes drive. My only minor complaint is the bed is not super comfortable and the pillows were pretty bad, but I'm picky about that. I also recommend they provide a much thinner blanket for the beds during summer - the one on the bed was very thick and way too hot. But they provided 3 fans which kept everything cool enough. I will definitely be coming back!
