**PETS CONSIDERED WITH PRIOR APPROVAL **
Knobcone Cabin is a comfortable West Shore home base for exploring the best of Lake Tahoe. Tucked among the pines in a quiet neighborhood, this 3-bedroom, 3-bath home is perfectly positioned near some of Tahoe’s most iconic outdoor destinations—Sugar Pine Point, D.L. Bliss, and Emerald Bay State Parks are all just a short drive away.
Outdoor fun is everywhere: nearby hiking and biking, easy access to Nordic and alpine skiing, and quick access to the famed Rubicon Trail for 4x4 off-roading right from the neighborhood. For lake days, Chamberlands Beach is less than a mile to the north, and Sugar Pine Point’s beach is under 2 miles to the south.
Inside, you’ll find everything needed for a relaxing stay for up to 6 guests, including a fully equipped kitchen, a spacious King primary suite with en-suite bathroom, two Queen bedrooms, and two additional full guest bathrooms. The living room invites you to unwind with cushy couches and an easy-to-use gas fireplace. Parking is a breeze with a garage plus paved driveway space, and a Generac generator helps keep you warm and comfortable in the event of a power outage.
Garage is available. Parking is limited to 5 spaces.
