About this property

This stunning home has a few new features: a propane fire pit on a large flagstone patio and a covered all-weather log porch with a Marquis 6 person Hot Tub! This is an amazing one-of-a-kind home and is THE classic Tahoe getaway. The Log Lodge is full of creature comforts and tasteful appointments. High quality mattresses, double pane windows, fully remodeled kitchen, quality appliances, and artistic Old Tahoe decor make this the most comfortable AND classic log home in Tahoe.
Enjoy the original large slate fireplace and “Kings Truss” open-beam ceiling in the great room; a hidden bookcase doorway to a secret bedroom, a slate (digital) steam shower, cozy built-in bunk beds, and quality linens, pillows, and throw blankets in every room. There is also a miniature antique pool table, English darts, many classic games, a propane BBQ, and a fenced pet area. Downstairs are three bedrooms: The primary bedroom with Cal king bed and en-suite bathroom, the behind-the-bookcase room with queen bed, and the bunkroom with built-in twin on top and full on bottom bunk beds. The loft bedroom upstairs has a queen bed and writers desk.

This mountain retreat is located on a forested and fenced 2.5 acre property on the magical West Shore with space to spread out, play outdoor games and wander among the wildflowers. You won't have to travel far to enjoy nearby lakeside bar and dining at the Westshore Cafe and Chambers Landing. Lake access is available at numerous parks, including the magnificent Sugar Pine Point State Historic Park. The Homewood ski area is less than 5 minutes away, and awesome sledding is just up the road at Granlibakken.

Cute and quirky but cozy cabin

We really enjoyed our stay in this unique home. We had a few issues that were attended to quickly by management. I was told the home was walking distance to the beach, but I did not realize it was across the main road from the beach which meant the kids could not walk alone. The kitchen was well-equipped for all of our cooking needs. The beds in the second and third rooms were small for couples, but Ok for the kids. The outdoor space was very inviting and we enjoyed using the jacuzzi and sitting around the propane fire pit. We really enjoyed the uniqueness of the cabin and learning about the history behind it. Overall we would use this property again. The only reason I give it a 4/5 is because it is challenging to have to go through Tahoe City to pick up the keys and return them. A simple code lock could fix that. Also, there are some issues with the home that need to be fixed (ie; plumbing in second bath and the front door locking mechanism). These were just minor inconveniences though. We still enjoyed our stay very much.

Log Lodge Weeklet

This is a lovely home and well appointed, 5 minute walk to Chambers beach. The house is spacious and full of interesting knick knacks, memorabilia and games. Lots of backyard space to enjoy as well. It is a bit dark and there is some noise from the road but when you're inside it is quiet.

Log Lodge

Our niece had selected Tahoe West Shore for her wedding location. We were looking for a comfortable and charming location that would accommodate my wife and I and our two sons and their wives. Being familiar with Tahoe, mostly State Line and South Shore we wanted to find something unique to make our trip to West Shore memorable. After reviewing several rental offerings via VRBO we selected "Log Lodge" based on the pictures and previous reviews. I must say that the booking and rental agreements went very smooth and were straight forward. Wells & Bennett Realtors were on top of our reservations from the beginning and when I needed to change them a little to accommodate flights they handled it immediately for us without questions. Their rental app kept us abreast of all the information needed for check-in as well as top suggestions for dinning and things to do. The Log Lodge was everything we had hoped for and was clean and accommodating. The furnishings were wonderful and the owner has done a wonderful job renovating! You can get lost in reading about all the nostalgia and journey of the Log Lodge which is part of the rustic furnishings. To top it off Wells & Bennett Realtors contacted us right before we left and informed us that they had just completed a new stone patio and installed a beautiful hot tub under a log overhang and to make sure we brought our suits. The hot tub addition was and is truly remarkable and was enjoyed by all. I would not hesitate to recommend the Log Lodge to anyone but a quick note: remember this is a log home and closet spaces are at a minimum but I can assure you the setting and furnishings makes up for that. Would love to see the place when it's snowing :)

Unique and novel place to stay with great outdoor views

The lodge is quite amazing--from the decorations to the bedding (the bedding was fantastic), we enjoyed a multi-family Thanksgiving celebration there. If you enjoy cooking, the kitchen is very well-equipped. The hosting and clear instructions of the rental company were also very organized. It's a one-of-a-kind experience, loaded with antique photos, a Victrola!, snooker table, lots of antique-y decor. I would caution against kids under 3--there is a lot within reach that they could break. You would be spending your time telling them not to touch things. The only drawback was cleanliness. Though most of the house and bathrooms were clean, the kitchen was not. There were crumbs on the floor, table and counter; coffee and grounds in the coffee pot, crusty food on the cutting board. Because we were cooking Thanksgiving dinner, we had to give it a going-over before we started. It seemed inconsistent with how the rest of the house was maintained, so I'm guessing it was an oversight before the holiday season.
