We were not informed that there was an attached occupied bungalow. However, the location was great and within walking distance of the town. Very clean accommodations, but pillows were all very uncomfortable. The four people in our group all agreed that different pillows are needed!

Wonderful stay!! Very cozy. Would definitely go back. Everything ran smoothly and they were attentive to our needs. We stayed for skiing and we were only 15 minutes from palisades and about an hour from heavenly. Walking distance to the town and lake.

A beautiful Tahoe getaway!We absolutely loved our stay at the Lodgepole Lair! The cabin has been beautifully updated - bright, clean, and full of natural light. The decor was so thoughtfully done, giving it that perfect balance of modern comfort and cozy mountain charm. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and everything we needed was right there.The location couldn’t be better - just a short walk to downtown Tahoe City for coffee or dinner, and close to great hiking trails. We spent our days exploring with our dogs and our evenings relaxing back at the cabin. It was the perfect spot for a peaceful birthday getaway, and we can’t wait to come back!

Nice Cabin walking distance to town

We really enjoyed our stay. Cabin was just the perfect size for 2 of us and our 2 small dogs. All necessities were there as well. Loved the location, was nice to be able to just walk into down town.

Cozy and close to Palisades Tahoe

Overall this place is great, housekeeping just missed a few things, some of this cutlery wasn’t washed properly, the washer had mildew in the soap compartment and smelled, so I had to disinfect it and the smelled lingered, the bedsheets need a refresh and I had asked for no down pillows and was reassured that would be cared for, but that was all that was in the master bedroom and the other pillows smelled musty, so it was a bit frustrating.The Wi-Fi is lacking but you can’t blame the owner/rental company for that, I think it’s because it’s in a remote location. I love the heated floor in the master bath and the soaking tub as well.

Wonderful!

Lodgepole Lair was the perfect place for my family and our pup to stay in Lake Tahoe. The home is walking distance to Tahoe City and a short drive to beautiful, groomed hikes and ski resorts. The neighbors were incredibly friendly, and it felt like we were part of welcoming and kind community.

We had a wonderful stay at the Lodepole Lair in Tahoe City! It is in a great location… walking distance to restaurants, grocery store, beach, ski resorts, and everything else Tahoe City has to offer. The home itself is beautiful. The photos in the listing do not even do it justice. Our teenage son loved the loft. The beds are comfy. The kitchen is super cute and functional. Everything about this home is wonderful!We would love to stay here again on future visits!

Quiet Getaway

This property was cozy and cute. It was perfect for bringing our dog for the first time to the snow. The house was well stocked and equipped for cooking meals, and just relaxing inside while it was so cold outside. Great communication with the property’s manager and it was conveniently located downtown where there were a few shops and places to eat. We did a lot of walking around the neighborhoods and downtown. I would love to come back in the summer and I would highly recommend staying here.

Beware: Property on Steep Hill

Unfortunately I was unable to drive my car up the steep hill of the property even with chains. This property should have been advertised as on a steep hill, cars with 4WD or AWD can reliably access during winter months. Notified manager of property of the issue.
