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.
