About This Home

As of July 2021

True Nostalgic Tahoe. This amazing 1934 log cabin is perfectly restored and masterfully updated to preserve its authenticity. Every aspect of this genuine Tahoe cabin has been renovated and modernized with thoughtful attention to detail and functionality. The owners expanded the cabin's footprint in 2018 with the addition of a master bedroom & bath and new kitchen. Their thoughtful visions are reflected in every design element of the cabin, and the workmanship is outstanding. Vaulted ceilings in the living room are combined with the original stone fireplace. A spiral staircase in the living room leads to the open loft, which has the 2nd bedroom and bath. The master bedroom looks out over the large back yard and the master bath is outfitted with a built-in Finlandia wet/dry sauna. Situated in the highly sought after Al Tahoe Forest Home's Association, this classic cabin sits on a quarter acre with an approved permit and plans for the addition of a two-car tandem garage.
