About This Property
Charming ol' Tahoe cabin with nostalgic appeal and authentic mountain character. This generational family cabin features 3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, and just over 1,000 square feet of living space. Located in the USFS Rainbow Tract, it offers year-round water and sewer service. You can access the cabin on foot in the winter; an uncommon benefit for a USFS cabin. Just a short walk to the Upper Truckee River, this special location adds to its unique appeal.Upgrades include central heating, newer electrical main and sub panels, washer/dryer hookups, newer granite countertops, and alder cabinetry in the kitchen, along with a gas range. Updated tile enhances the kitchen and both bathrooms. An added half bath on the upper level provides extra convenience. Located in the Lake Tahoe basin and minutes from local markets and all the charming eateries. Tahoe Paradise Park and Lake Baron are also nearby. This cabin is also ideal for ski enthusiasts, as it is located between South Shore's favorite ski resorts: Heavenly, Sierra-at-Tahoe, and Kirkwood. Enjoy peaceful outdoor evenings, river access and fishing from your Tahoe cabin. This is a unique and rare opportunity for one to purchase a cabin in this tract as the last sale was in 2024.

Land Coverage (TRPA)
Tahoe Regional Planning Agency impervious-coverage budget for this parcel
TRPA caps how much of each Tahoe Basin parcel can be covered by impervious surfaces — buildings, driveways, decks. Estimated coverage — data: TRPA GIS / Tahoe Open Data. The only authoritative determination of coverage and land capability is a Land Capability Verification through TRPA; actual allowable coverage can differ due to verifications, transfers, banked coverage, or deed restrictions.

California FAIR Plan fire policy + a DIC wrap policy, the usual Tahoe setup
Estimate from this ZIP's California FAIR Plan rates (Plan data as of 6/30/2026, with the 29.1% increase effective 10/15/2026) on an estimated rebuild cost, plus a DIC policy at 20–40% of the FAIR premium. Not a bindable quote; a local broker quote depends on the home's age, roof, defensible space and claims history.
