Cozy Tahoe Cottage~Pet Friendly~Honeymoon Cottage

Dog-Friendly - Hot Tub - Walk to Lake

The Honeymoon Cottage is the perfect vacation rental cottage tucked in a quiet street on the West Shore of Lake Tahoe. This vacation home is exactly how you would imagine a Tahoe home with wood floors, pine-covered walls, a cozy wood stove, and a quiet wooded setting. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking meals to share with friends and family. The kitchen shares a space with the cozy living room that is set up around the fireplace creating the perfect environment for family time. The outside area has a large deck, with built-in bench seats and a hot tub that looks onto a vacant lot next door. The upstairs has two bedrooms one with a King Bed and the other with a Queen bed, both with quality linens. There is also a second living area that is carpeted and has big comfy couches, a gas fireplace, and a TV with a DVD player and satellite dish. An Electric Vehicle charger is offered at this home for the modern day eco-traveler.

This rental cabin is centrally located for your enjoyment, a 15-minute drive will put you at Palisades Tahoe, and a 5-minute drive to Homewood Mountain Resort. A morning excursion to the Firesign Cafe which has the best breakfasts in town is highly recommended and in Summer you can walk down in the evenings for dinner on the deck at Sunnyside Resort. Not forgetting fido, Lake Tahoe is also only a few minutes away and next door to Sunnyside is a dog-friendly beach (unofficial) with lots of sticks for water play. A mile down the road to Hurricane Bay will bring you to an official dog-friendly beach which usually has lots of 4 legged friends to play with.
In Summer you can also walk down to Sunnyside Marina and hire boats, or jet skis or have some wake-board lessons, golf, restaurants, and shopping are only a couple of miles away in Tahoe City and within 30 - 45 minutes drive they are many more championship golf courses such as Coyote Moon, Incline Village and the Resort at Squaw Creek. Important, this property does not have air conditioning. Air conditioners are extremely unusual in North Lake Tahoe.

This is a dog-friendly house but in order to bring a dog, you must pay a $70 dog fee per dog, 2 dog maximum. If you bring a dog without paying the dog fee, you will be subject to a fine and are in breach of contract which could result in being asked to leave the property.

Snow, hot chocolate and hot tub
We arrived with snow on ground on a dark evening to find a cozy, warm, clean and friendly cottage. We had hot cocoa and did a puzzle before sleep. It was a lovely weekend in December with my daughter and her best friend. The hot tub was warm and bubbly and everything ran smoothly. The next morning we took a short walk to the gorgeous lake, smiling the whole way. The neighborhood was quiet and we had everything we needed. We would definitely return to this lovely and cozy perfect cottage.

Cozy cabin in the woods!
My wife and I enjoyed a restful week at the Honeymoon Cottage. The location is perfectly situated with Sunnyside Lodge and a beach within walking distance. It is conveniently located to Tahoe City, Truckeee, all of the West side and South Lake Tahoe. This was a great base for hiking Desolation Wilderness, kayaking the lake and river rafting the Truckee River. Definitely would stay again.

Wedding Weekend Private Getaway
My now husband and I stayed at the Honeymoon cottage for a full week over the course of our wedding weekend in Tahoe City. We couldn’t have expected a more perfect home base for our trip. The home was clean, comfortable, had all the amenities we needed, and then some. The upstairs master bedroom was extremely comfortable and peaceful. We were totally enthralled in the mountain cabin style of the cottage. We enjoyed soaking in the hot tub and the convenience of the short walk to the West Shore Market, Sunnyside, and Firesign restaurants. It was easy to walk and jog our dog on the bike path and even to jump in the lake! Tahoe Moon Properties provided us with excellent service prior to and during our stay. We hope to stay here again some day! Hopefully on a future anniversary. Thank you!

Great cabin with hot tub
We really enjoyed our stay. The cabin was as described, clean and ready for us. The hot tub was working and great for relaxing after a day skiing. The property manager was very responsive when we unintentionally turned off the gas fireplace and could turn it back on.

Great place except for a bat
We really enjoyed our visit to Lake Tahoe and spending time at this beautiful cabin! The hot tub was very nice! The kitchen was perfect for us and everything was beautiful! We had only one unfortunate problem. We had a bat in our bedroom and didn't know that the bat was there until we had spent two nights at the cabin. We were careful to close doors right away because of bears. I am not sure how it got in and we found out that anytime you spend the night with a bat...that you have to get rabies shots for possible exposure. ugh. We had to go the ER in our local city and get the first round of shots yesterday. We really enjoyed the cabin but this did put a bit of damper on our vacation after we got back...especially since each dose of the vaccine is 450 dollars each!!! Ack. Hopefully, the owners can post a warning about bats in the area or give more info about being bat aware.

Dog hair and dowdy.
The cabin was charming but needs some TLC. There was dog hair on the couches. The bed in the master bedroom was very uncomfortable and the bedspread was old and stained. The carpets were old and stained as well. We left a day early because we couldn’t sleep and the dog hair was bothering my allergies.

Great location, maintenance could be improved
Overall, we enjoyed our stay. The house is a perfect size for 3-4 people and is well located. We enjoyed the quick drive to the ski slopes. Maintenance could have been improved. The driveway was covered in ice - it sounds like they didn't have enough staff to properly clear the driveway last time it snowed. The bear fence was still active when we got into the house, even tho the maintenance person had just left. Communication with the staff was difficult and borderline passive aggressive.

The cabin is exactly as advertised. Quaint, authentic & sweet. We found ourselves there during a big storm, which cut off electricity & made for more of an “adventure” than we had anticipated, but the cabin itself did not disappoint.
