Woodpecker Cottage 7

Ideal for a family or small group of friends, this charming two-level cottage sits just above the community fire pit at Cedar Crest Cottages, a historic vacation retreat nestled on forested grounds with filtered lake and mountain views.

Newly renovated with tasteful, mountain lodge-inspired decor, Woodpecker Cottage features a convenient layout well-suited for a weekend escape or a season-long working vacation. In the living area, styled in autumn tones with burnt orange accents and rich hardwood floors, a wide desk with storage sits just beneath a large-screen TV, creating a seamless workspace. To unwind after a day on the lake or mountain, relax on the rich leather sectional and enjoy the smart soundbar, or take advantage of cable, a Blu-ray player or streaming capabilities. Of course, the tranquil atmosphere may call for a simple glass of wine and conversation.

Downstairs, two uniquely styled bedrooms offer privacy and king-sized beds, which can be converted to two extra-long twins upon request. Small children are easily accommodated with a crib or a floor futon. Both bedrooms feature plush bedding, twin nightstands, a picture window and a wall-mounted TV.

Guests share a newly remodelled bathroom on the lower level with a step-in shower and a separate powder room on the main level. A private washer and dryer, complete with complimentary laundry pods, adds convenience, especially for longer stays.

Please be advised that this home does not have air conditioning.

As a guest of Cedar Crest Cottages, you’ll enjoy access to the community BBQ grill and oversized fire pit with filtered lake and mountain views. In the summer, stroll to the beach for swimming, sailing and boating on the lake, or hike through the surrounding mountains. In the winter, drive less than two minutes to the family-friendly Homestead Mountain Resort, or just 25 minutes to the varied terrain of Squaw Valley.

Whether you’re planning a family vacation or seeking a place to reset and rejuvenate, Woodpecker Cottage offers a peaceful place to call home in the heart of Lake Tahoe’s year-round recreation.

Please be advised that the fire pit is seasonal and is not operational during the winter months due to the heavy snowfall.
