Kamp Knobcone Studio/Guesthouse

If you’re looking for romance, you’re in the right place. Soak in the comfortable bathtub as you gaze at the flames of the fireplace, sleep in a comfortable king sized bed and awake as the morning light shines through dramatic vertical windows (or close the blinds and sleep in).
High speed WIFI and Suddenlink cable with a large channel lineup through Bose Surround Sound entertainment system.
For quick getaways to the ski slopes, hiking trails or Lake Tahoe visits, there’s a separate shower and a small convenience kitchen where you can prepare a quick breakfast that will keep you going.
If you like staying around, you can listen to music, read a book or relax in the garden. Inside, enjoy original oil paintings, admire handcrafted building details or head back for another relaxing warm bath.
This is a perfect base for day trips. Emerald Bay, the restaurants of Tahoe City, Truckee’s boutiques, hiking trails winding through the wilderness, biking both on roads and off, adventures on the waters of Lake Tahoe…
You don’t need to worry about your frozen car. It’s in the garage, safe from the elements.
If you love quiet mountain retreats, cocktails with a view, contemplating the play of light as it flows across the emerald waters of Lake Tahoe, you deserve to stay here.
Book now, and dream of relaxation and romance!

Lovely Guest House
Ours was a great stay at a lovely guest house in a quiet neighborhood very conveniently located near the shore of Lake Tahoe. The home was very nicely appointed and had all that we needed to make it a great stay. The owners were very nice and our communications with them were great. Add to that, the weather during our stay was ideal. Highly recommended.

Amazing property at a great location
One of us wanted to camp, the other wanted civilization. We both were happy. The place feels like a cabin with wonderful creature comforts. And the location couldn't be better as a jumping off point - Emerald Bay is a short drive one way, Tahoe City the other, and great hikes in every direction. As first-time visitors to Tahoe, it didn't take much to convince us that the west side is the best side for a laid-back adventure :)

Cute place by the lake & hiking!
Jan and Maclyn's place is absolutely adorable and provides everything you need for a weekend away! They are great hosts and gave us excellent recommendations for hiking that was practically in our backyard! We'd love to visit again and we highly recommend Kamp Knobcone.

Super nice place
Cozy and clean, tastefully decorated. The place is in a quiet residential neighborhood, but in the mean time 5 min away from the ski resort. Check-in/out are super easy. We had a great time.

Wonderful Stay in Homewood!
This little cabin is an absolute delight! It is just as described in the listing and is a perfect getaway for two people. Absolutely LOVED the deep bathtub with the fireplace. Overall, very comfortable and private. The hosts were fantastic--very responsive and quick to address any issues or questions we had. Cannot wait to return!

Adorable, and well-appointed guest home. Lovely and helpful hosts.
This home was well-located in a quiet and beautiful area of Homewood/Tahoe. Access to the Rubicon trail is just a block away, and quick/easy drive to Emerald Bay. The guest house was a lovely home base, and perfect fo the two of us. Great instructions, and easy access. Wi-fi was great! Note: AT&T cell service is generally bad in the area, but our hosts thoughtfully provided a land line. The home looks just like the photos, and is super clean and well-appointed. We enjoyed it!

Amazing visit
Such a great, romantic place to stay for a couple! It was gorgeous and clean. The bath tub was AMAZING in addition to the gorgeous, sensual oil painting over the fireplace in the bathroom. We were able to ride the bikes which was so nice. Jan and Macyln were amazing hosts and Always answered any questions that we had. We highly recommend wolfdales! It was the best meal I’ve ever had in my life. We will definitely be back to stay here again. They were even so kind to work with VRBO to get an extra night added on for us when we asked for it :-) thank you again for the beautiful stay!

Wonderfully hand crafted hideaway!
This loft is cozy and better in person than in the photos. Just large enough for two. Easy in & out. Location on the west side of the lake allows for hiking, boating if you want and a few good places in Tahoe City to eat & hang out without the hubbub of South Lake Tahoe. There is no private deck or outdoor area. TV/ entertainment system is a bit lacking but isn’t a deal breaker.

Homewood Suite Stay
We enjoyed our stay at the rustic Homewood Suite. It was perfect our for our short visit to Homewood, CA for a couple days of skiing. The property was about a mile away from the slops and had everything needed to accommodate my husband and I. There was a little kitchen that allowed us to prepare breakfast in the morning. We enjoyed the cozy fireplace and turned it on whenever we were in the suite and it was two sided so could be viewed from the main suite or the bathroom area. The suite was clean and the owners were onsite when we arrived and stayed in the main adjacent house. The suite is completely separate from the main house and has it's own entrance. We were able to park our rental car in their driveway directly outside the suite so was very convenient. Overall, I would recommend this property for two people and would use it again if I return to the area.

Cozy studio
Lovely ,thought out craftsman style studio in a quiet neighborhood. Posted photos don't do it justice. Lovely gas fireplace and heat radiant floors kept us cozy. Kitchen albeit very small , sufficed. Location is perfect ! Hiking up into the Rubicon Trail...right up the road! We also were very pleased with the bikes available for use and road all around the western shore! Wished we had stayed one more night(it snowed !), would have been beautiful to watch from the oversized amazing windows of the studio! Very delightful stay , and would stay agin in the future! I would however like to suggest some better lighting all around for reading, and bathroom for shaving & makeup. In addition , we have a small , trained border collie that would also appreciate hiking...maybe consider allowing dogs on a case by case basis? This time we were here for a wedding...but in the future would love to bring him with us! Overall, a lovely getaway!

Leslie R., Orange County, CA

Did not meet expectations
Pros: 1) Nice location on the West Shore. 2) Good size for two people. 3) Prior to arrival the owners were very attentive. 4) Bed was comfortable. 5) Free Wifi Cons: 1) The unit needed a thorough cleaning. Floors, blanket, fireplace and bathtub were visibly dirty. 2) In general, lighting was poor, but especially in the kitchenette and bathroom. 3) No hooks on which to hang towels in the bathroom. No wine glasses. No Kleenex. Insufficient spare toilet paper. 4) Window cleaners arrived unannounced in the morning, walking into our room without knocking. 5) In the mornings we had to negotiate the sprinklers by going around the back of the garage to avoid getting wet.

Great, two-person rental for short trip. The bathroom with fireplace is very romantic, but the open shower caused water to get everywhere. The TV has Roku if you can spend thirty minutes figuring out how to make it work. Overall, a cute, cozy, and romantic suite for a couple.

Definitely would love to come back!
Maclyn and Jan were amazing hosts. They were always available over the phone or by text and were super polite. Their guesthouse is cozy and charming. Check-in and check-out were easy. The cabin had great heating, the bed was really comfortable with plenty of pillows, and the bathtub with the fireplace next to it was incredible!!! The kitchen has pretty much everything you need. My girlfriend and I bought groceries and cooked most of the time we were there with no problem at all. We were lucky to get some good snow while we were there and the cabin was just perfect for a couple's getaway.

Sooo cozy, high ceilings!
I absolutely loved the cabin. Jan and Maclyn are very thoughtful hosts. My partner and I got stuck in the snow the night we were supposed to arrive and they called to check in with us. They were very helpful in ensuring we made it safely. The cabin is very clean and stylish. I love the high ceilings and the fireplace. Perfect cozy spot to relax after a day on the slopes with some music on. I wasn’t sure if there was a shower beforehand, so I was delighted to find that the bathroom is bigger than I thought. There is a bathtub big enough for 2 as well as a shower. Kitchen area is sufficient. Bedding is super comfortable. We will absolutely stay again!
