Your retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city, this South Lake Tahoe home provides a peaceful presence for everyone you love! Located just two blocks from Lake Tahoe and Ski Run Marina, get outside and relish the radiant California sunshine while sitting by the lake, swimming, fishing, and boating. When you aren't playing in the sand, take peaceful walks around Bijou Community Park, engage in some playful competition at Magic Carpet Golf, and don your skis at Heavenly Ski Resort.

After a day filled with adventure, head for the wood interior of your stay where you can warm up in front of the heat of the stone fireplace or with the home's central heating. The chef of your group will have no issues utilizing the full kitchen's gleaming countertops, stainless steel appliances, and nifty gadgets. When you're ready to eat, gather around the sizable breakfast bar or at the formal dining table. Stream your favorite shows with the Roku Sticks or utilize cable to find a movie for family movie night.

Wilderness-themed mementos line the home's bedrooms, and a private washer/dryer, Pack-N-Play, and internet access ensure you have all of the amenities you need.

Outside, the enclosed yard provides a pleasant space to grill while listening to the sway of the pines.

Very cute cabin with lots of good kitchen supplies. Only two drawbacks.
It is located on the corner of a busy street and the stairs to the 2nd floor are very narrow. They should have night lighting on the steps to the bathroom.

Great location and great space
We had a wonderful time Black Bear Hideaway. The space was perfect, close to town, the slopes, and the lake. The hot tub was wonderful after a long day skiing. Will definitely come again!!

Property was amazing! We arrived right after the blizzard and everything outside was covered in deep snow. Management had someone out there quickly to shovel the driveway and spa area. Will stay there again!

Lovely home in a great location
I'm glad to recommend this home. We, a family of three, stayed in this lovely home for 9 nights. The home is comfortable and well furnished. We enjoyed the hot tub and used the gas grill. The location is great. Its a short drive to the base of Heavenly Valley. Grocery stores, restaurants and the shore of Lake Tahoe are walkable. Check-in and check-out were very easy.

Great cabin home for a family! Cozy livingroom with Very comfy leather couches and blankies! A spacious kitchen with close to new appliances including cooking utensils wich was very helful! The private Hottub in the backyard was great after the long days exploring! It was a relatively modern home mixed with all the woodworking and feeling of being in a cabin. Everything was very clean and organized wich is a great relief when starting a vacation! I highly recomend this cabin for future visitors!

Great Home and Great Location
This home was exactly what our group of 5 was looking for. We travel to a new place every year for a ski trip and this home had all of the amenities including the hot tub, great kitchenware for cooking our meals, plenty of space to spread out in the living room and dining room, and a nice large TV for watching some movies and hooking up some games to. The gas fireplace was obviously great for the winter use and helpful for drying out our ski gear. The best part is the location which is just a short drive to the base of Heavenly and right down the street the other direction is the Lake with plenty of great restaurants and things to do. Plus just a short drive away and you can get to the Nevada border where there are even more shops, bars, restaurants and casinos. We all had a great week staying here!

great property, could have been a little cleaner
Loved the location, close to the slopes, and close to an excellent Mexican restaraunt. Loved the layout of the place, had a cozy fireplace, well-appointed kitchen, all around enjoyable. A few quibbles: the cleaning wasn't finished when we checked in. The garbage cans were full (hadn't been brought out). A quick text with the property managers cleared it up. Also, we brought our own coffee, and were disappointed to find that there was no drip coffeemaker onsite. There was a keurig, but we didn't want to make a special trip for k-cups, and the attachment to let us use our own coffee did not work. Sorry, don't like keurigs.

This house is in an amazing location, the hot tub was great after a long day of hiking. The house was big enough to fit 6 people comfortably and the kitchen has everything you need and the shower pressure was great! However, only one bed was comfortable to sleep on. The fridge temperature was very warm when we arrived (48 degrees). The freezer was at 10 degrees. The temperatures kept changing and caused perishables to spoil the next day we had to discard most of our food because it was unsafe to consume, and buy lots of ice to keep other things cold which was very frustrating. VACASA’s staff was not helpful regarding the fridge they told us to not open the fridge too much. But the fridge was still not cold after the first night. The TV in the first floor bedroom wouldn’t connect to wifi and was unusable. The cabin’s AC did not work at all (there was no air coming out of the vent after we set the thermostat). VACASA passed along instructions from their “local team” which involved checking the AC filter and tripped breaker switch. We couldn’t find the filter nor the breaker box. The instruction was not helpful at all because it did not tell us where to find these things. We were happy with the location and space of the cabin, but disappointed with the fridge, TV, and AC.

Loved Our Stay
The house is very nicely located and our family of 4 adults had a very comfortable stay. The kitchen is great with all the home touches. We made good use of the hot tub and the enclosed yards were great for the 2 small pups we had with us. Lovely set up for grilling and enjoying the outdoors. Would love to go back.

Great house!
This house is very nice. We enjoyed our stay. The hot tub was awesome. The kitchen is well stocked. The company that manages the property is readily available. Very short walk across the street to great restaurants. Safeway is a short drive and Whole Foods is a short walk. The walk to Heavenly Village is not bad either. We walked back to the house after a concert at the Harrah's outdoor amphitheater. The walk took about 20 minutes. The weather was great for a late night walk. Lyft or Uber electric scooters are everywhere to rent.
