About this property

Kamp Knobcone Studio/Guesthouse

If you’re looking for romance, you’re in the right place. Soak in the comfortable bathtub as you gaze at the flames of the fireplace, sleep in a comfortable king sized bed and awake as the morning light shines through dramatic vertical windows (or close the blinds and sleep in).
High speed WIFI and Suddenlink cable with a large channel lineup through Bose Surround Sound entertainment system.
For quick getaways to the ski slopes, hiking trails or Lake Tahoe visits, there’s a separate shower and a small kitchen where you can prepare a quick breakfast that will keep you going.
If you like staying around, you can listen to music, read a book or relax in the garden. Inside, enjoy original oil paintings, admire handcrafted building details or head back for another relaxing warm bath.
This is a perfect base for day trips. Emerald Bay, the restaurants of Tahoe City, Truckee’s boutiques, hiking trails winding through the wilderness, biking both on roads and off, adventures on the waters of Lake Tahoe…
You don’t need to worry about your frozen car. It’s in the garage, safe from the elements.
If you love quiet mountain retreats, cocktails with a view, contemplating the play of light as it flows across the emerald waters of Lake Tahoe, you deserve to stay here.
Book now, and dream of relaxation and romance!

Cute place by the lake & hiking!
Jan and Maclyn's place is absolutely adorable and provides everything you need for a weekend away! They are great hosts and gave us excellent recommendations for hiking that was practically in our backyard! We'd love to visit again and we highly recommend Kamp Knobcone.

Wonderfully hand crafted hideaway!
This loft is cozy and better in person than in the photos. Just large enough for two. Easy in & out. Location on the west side of the lake allows for hiking, boating if you want and a few good places in Tahoe City to eat & hang out without the hubbub of South Lake Tahoe. There is no private deck or outdoor area. TV/ entertainment system is a bit lacking but isn’t a deal breaker.

Wonderful Stay in Homewood!
This little cabin is an absolute delight! It is just as described in the listing and is a perfect getaway for two people. Absolutely LOVED the deep bathtub with the fireplace. Overall, very comfortable and private. The hosts were fantastic--very responsive and quick to address any issues or questions we had. Cannot wait to return!

About the host

Hosted by Maclyn Morris

Host profile image
Maybe I spent too much time building this place. But I was having so much fun! Working out the details of the woodwork, the wrought iron, the dramatic soaring spaces, the lofty windows, the intricate details that run right down to how the wood flooring's boards meet. I think it's one of the nicer homes I've built, and I'm sure you will, too.

Why they chose this property

The home nestles into a woodsy lot, soaring up with the tree trunks to harmonize with its environment. It's far enough from the highway to be quiet, hiking trails are nearby so I can leave the car in the garage - or drive to the lake to paddle across the shining water.

What makes this property unique

This studio was built for romance. Soak in the tub, watch the light move across the walls from a king sized bed, pop a bottle of Champagne out of the freezer and toast the moon as she rises above the trees to light the landscape in a serene glow... and when you want more adventure, it's all around you on the lake and in the forest.
