Craig's Cozy Cabin: Hot Tub, BBQ, Pets
The cutest, coziest cabin in all of Tahoe. Lovingly remodeled to preserve its 1940s charm, this two-bedroom gem blends vintage character with modern comfort. Steps from Lakeside Beach, the rec center, pool, bowling, yoga, and ice skating rink — a perfect home base for easy, family-friendly Tahoe fun.
This home has comfortable sleeping & dining for a family of 4. Parking for 2 vehicles in the driveway. This applies 24/7.
Equipped with a beautifully updated kitchen, where mornings start with coffee on warm wood floors and evenings end around home-cooked meals. Granite counters and new appliances make cooking a pleasure, and the kitchen is fully stocked with dishes, pots, pans, and utensils. Each bedroom feels like a cozy retreat, thoughtfully decorated with heavy pine furniture, soft quilts, and warm lighting that perfectly complements the cabin's timeless mountain charm.
The living room is made for cozy family nights. Gather around the gas fireplace insert, sink into the sofa or one of the comfy chairs, and unwind with a favorite movie or show on YouTubeTV. Log in to your own Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, Sling, AppleTV+, or other streaming service.
This home does not have air conditioning.
This home shares a driveway with a separate one-bedroom cabin on the property. When parking, please keep vehicles on the right side of the driveway close to the home. The two homes are fully private and independent, with no shared living spaces.

Nice cabin in great location., close to Rufus Allen Blvd. Fenced in backyard is not dog proof if you have escape artists! Well stocked kitchen and comfortable beds.
We loved the cabin. The hot tub was great. Location close to everything. The only drawback is the living room furniture. It isn’t comfy, and when u come in from all day outside u want to lay around and talk on a. Comfy couch. The chairs were horrid But loved the rental company. Easy to work with. Cabin was super cute

My family and I had such a wonderful time and this perfectly cozy little cabin! It was just the right size for us (2 adults and 2 small kiddos). We had a small hot tub heater snafoo and called the number on the fridge and they were quick and helpful in solving our problem. The place was very clean, and had everything you need to feel at home! Will definitely be staying here again. Thanks

Great 2 bedroom cabin in an older neighborhood with easy access to everything. Staff was wonderful when questions needed to be answered. WiFi was awesome (great for work from home).
What we liked was that the cabin is located close to the lake, close to restaurants and shopping, yet in a very calm old neighborhood, where I could take the dog for a walk without being run over, as well as close to parks and open nature areas.
The cabin is small, but perfectly accomodating for a weeks stay. It is also close to the ski-sport area!
All great and would rent it again in a heartbeat!!

This cozy cabin was just right for our active family of 4. Very clean. It was in the perfect location for walking to see the lake, or walking to get coffee or ice-cream. Quick drive to everything else. The private backyard & hot tub was nice. We saw a bear stroll by early one morning from the front porch. Great hiking in Lake Tahoe area & aqua blue water secluded beaches to hike to just a short drive away.

Not as clean as everyone described
We knew this was a pet friendly place. But a bunch of reviews reported how clean it was. It smelled like they vacuumed with a full vacuum. It just blew the dust and dirt around. My 6 year old who has seasonal allergies but is managed with a single kids Claritin daily wasn’t sitting in a chair for less than 30 minutes and started sneezing and was covered in dog hair. His eyes got puffy and started getting welts all over. He’s been around dogs before and never had a problem like this. To make it through the night I had to load him up on Benadryl. There were signs everywhere saying no dogs on furniture. Dog hair was visible on bed sheets. We complained to the property rental company and they dropped off a brand new vacuum and fresh bedsheets. They also offered a discounted price for our stay. Not worth me spending one day of my vacation cleaning a house that wasn’t mine and still getting charged even a cleaning fee. My sons allergies were much better once we cleaned. I wish I could post the pictures. I regret booking this place.
Pros: hot tub *with strict time restrictions
Water pressure was great
Close enough to the state line
Nice neighborhood
Cons: Noise Aware decibel sound measuring in the house to make sure you aren’t to loud but they report it’s “100% privacy compliant” (that’s too Big brother for me)
Mattresses were old and very springy
No dishwasher
I’m really sad to post this but it’s the truth.
It really is COZY and was great for 4 people. It's very pretty and nicely decorated. I loved the washer/dryer in the bathroom so we could easily keep up with dirty clothes. The kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed. The hot tub was nice and big with good jets. The beds were comfortable and fairly firm. Thanks so much for everything!
Cozy cabin and excellent location. Very well kept interior. The hot tub was a treat after a long day of skiing. Has everything you would need in the kitchen. Would definitely stay again.

We loved the hot tub in the back, the cozy living room, and the kitchen was wonderful and perfect for a ski weekend with a few friends.We disliked the amount of notices about the hot tub and late hours - we felt like we were being watched the whole time. And a 10PM curfew felt a little early, especially if we are just relaxing after a long day. The other issue was the trash - there was no indication of where to recycle and this troubled us. I hope a situation can be worked out for future guests as this will be a real problem!

The cabin was quaint, well taken care of, and very cozy. The hot tub worked beautifully. The bed situation is completely mislabeled on Air B&B though, there are only 2 queen beds total in the house. I think the couch could pull out for a third sleeping arrangement, but it was definitely only a 4 person cabin with the size of the space. There was also a second cabin a right behind us, where people were staying, which we didn’t know about. We shared the backyard with these people, so a lot less private than expected. Overall 8/10 experience.

Craigs Cozy cabin was absolutely ideal for our quick get away. Everything was super clean, cozy, kitchen was well stocked and the hot tub was an absolute hit! Having the Disney plus and Apple TV was a plus too. With only being 5/10 minutes from heavenly, I would totally recommend this cabin! We love being able to walk our dog in this cute neighborhood too. Thanks for letting us stay again!
Had an amazing time staying here for a quiet getaway. The location is fantastic and the house exceeded our expectations. It was very clean, well maintained and had all of the comforts of home. My family enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub and playing games by the fire.
Best property I’ve stayed at. Beyond clean. Cozy and major cabin feel. Everything we needed and more was provided in the house. Hot tub was amazing under the trees and the smart tv was ready with Disney plus and Netflix. Plenary of room for out bikes and the neighborhood was soooo quiet and great for the kids to ride their bikes. Only negative was I needed more days to enjoy it. Can’t wait to get back to Craig’s cozy cabin. We will absolutely be back.

It was ok...
So I read the reviews (of course) - specifically about the beds being terrible to sleep on - the reviews were from a year or two ago, so I thought, "well they've probably done something about those". Nope. We didn't sleep - AT ALL. The review about uncomfortable furniture - also correct. The chairs are tiny (My husband is 6'2" and could not relax in them at all) and the couch - the seat cushions just slide right out! The cabin in general seems clean, but I feel this is subjective as we all have different degrees of cleanliness. I personally am a hyper clean person so I never leave comments on general cleanliness though I do have to say this - my family's feet were black after walking on the carpet when we first arrived and there after. Now, I don't know if this is from the dirt outside that got tracked in and not vacuumed - not sure but otherwise the bathroom, surfaces and kitchen seemed to all be mostly clean. Also, if you are traveling summer, this place does not have air conditioning - probably a miss on my end. Or a dishwasher - I hate doing dishes on vacation by hand. Lastly, the cabin in the back does make every attempt to stay hidden from view, yet it still does not feel very private as all the window are open everywhere - especially in summer, you feel like you have to whisper or you'll be fined $1000. It just felt so weird we didn't even go outside - we were afraid to do anything that created any amount of noise because of the extra fines. We tried as much as possible to not hang out there except to eat and sleep so it worked out, and we had great weather, but I won't be going back to this little cozy cabin -- it was just too cozy, hot and uncomfortable for me.

This is a nicely appointed small two bedroom cabin close to everything in South shore. The street is a block from Rufus Allen Blvd. The kitchen is nicely stocked and the cabin was comfortable an clean. The back fence will not keep a curious dog contained however.
We are a family of 4 with 2 small dogs and the cabin was just right. The kitchen was well stocked with equipment, plenty of beach/bath towels & bedrooms/beds cozy. The location is close to several attractions, grocery stores, restaurants & shops. We’ll definitely be back!
The cabin is located in a nice quiet part of town, close to parks, yet also close to the main artery of the area. The cabin is very cozy (=small). While the bedrooms and kitchen are plenty big enough for 4 people, while the living room is somewhat on the small side. For two it is perfect.
We got there during the winter, and the access was smothered in salt! This was horrible; our dogs got it on their paws and we got it stuck in the carpet from our shoes (an entry for shues and jackets is one of the things missing). I went out and brushed the snow away everyday and everything was fine.
The cabin was laid very close to another cabin, and shared the backyard and hot tub; if the other cabin had been occupied, that might have been a problem.
Using an electronic door lock rather than getting a standard key, proved easy and uncomplicated.
Overall, we enjoyed it and would recommend it.

The cabin was beautiful and very cozy. The children had a blast inside the cabin and out and about nearby. We drove less than 5 mins to get to any outside activities like the beach, bike riding, ice skating. The hot tub jacuzzi and comfortable bedding we’re my personal highlights. The open access to all of the kitchen supplies made all of our meals a breeze! At one point, we thought the internet wasn’t working but it turned out it was our game system. Regardless, the owner showed up promptly to our door as soon as we called the rental company. He even helped fix our system. Haha. The owners were welcoming and friendly. My 5 yr old keeps asking when we’ll go back to the cabin! I’d come back each month if I could afford. Thank you! :)

The Cozy Cabin is located in a very nice part of town (for us anyway), close to parks and in a nice cul-de-sac type residential area, yet just a short walk away from restaurants and general shopping. The cabin is indeed cozy, yet with good size bedrooms and kitchen, while the living room might be a little on the too cozy side for any party larger than 2 people (we were only two people). The cabin was in good condition and well cleaned. The small backyard, and associated hot-tub, while nice, however, is shared with another rental cabin, which, if it had been rented, and if we had wanted to use it, again might have been a bit too cozy for comfort. The only matter that we did not like about our stay was how much salt had been used to clear the walkway. After having walked on the salt pepples dragged into the living room carpet in my socks one time too many the first day, I subsequently proceeded to brush it, and any and all snow, away, which was a much better solution.
