Lakefront

Lakeside Cottage

📍 Lake Tahoe, Nevada

A timber cottage set back among Jeffrey pines, with a private dock that drops straight into the cold blue water off the East Shore. Granite boulders and a small pebble beach sit a few steps from the deck, where mornings are still enough to hear loons before the boats start up. Inside, a river-rock fireplace, knotty pine walls, and big south-facing windows keep the lake in view from the couch.

What this place offers

• Private lakefront dock
• Wood-burning river-rock fireplace
• Pebble beach with kayak rack
• Bear-proof outdoor storage locker
• Wraparound deck with lake-view firepit
