The cabin

Pine trees, a hot tub, and the lake at the end of the street.

A recently remodeled 1,500 sq ft home in a classic Old Tahoe neighborhood. Spend the day on the lake or the slopes, then soak in the private hot tub on the big deck, light a fire, and walk down to Gar Woods for a Wet Woody at sunset.
