The high point of Cedar Crest Cottages, a historic vacation retreat nestled on forested grounds with filtered lake and mountain views, Steller’s Jay Cottage is a tranquil escape surrounded by towering cedars. The newly updated retreat comfortably sleeps up to four guests with flexible accommodations, making it ideal for a family or small group of friends. *Please be advised that this home does not have air conditioning. The two-level cottage opens onto a spacious living area with hardwood floors, wood-paneled walls, picture windows and high ceilings. A full-length leather sectional faces a large-screen TV, with a wide, minimalist writers’ desk just underneath to accommodate longer stays and “working vacations,” aided by high-speed wireless internet. To relax after a day of adventure on the lake or surrounding mountains, take advantage of modern amenities, including a smart soundbar, cable, and streaming entertainment. Two bedrooms, conveniently located on the lower level, feature flexible king-sized beds which can be converted to two extra-long twin beds to accommodate varying group types upon request. Little ones are easily accommodated with a crib or floor futon. Styled in simple, modern decor with plush bedding and twin nightstands, both bedrooms feature a picture window and wall-mounted TV. Black-out and sheer window coverings throughout allow for maximum privacy. Guests share a newly remodeled bathroom with a step-in shower on the lower level, with a separate powder room on the main level for convenience. A private washer and dryer, complete with complimentary laundry pods, keeps ski clothes warm and bathing suits dry for new adventures no matter how long your stay. As a guest of Cedar Creek Cottages, you’ll enjoy access to a community BBQ grill and oversized fire pit with lake and mountain views. In the summer, stroll to the beach across the street for swimming, sailing and boating on the lake, or hike through the surrounding mountains

Our collection of Lake Tahoe vacation rentals hug the mountains along the North Shore, offering easy access to both skiing and beach activities. Choose from newly constructed condos with contemporary decor and ski-in/ski-out access to Northstar Resort, log cabins with cozy wood-burning stoves and lake views, or timber homes with expansive decks and open living spaces. Many of our Tahoe rentals welcome pets, and a number lie within strolling distance of the beach.
