Accessibility

Neighborhood

Located on Echo Summit, this area is known for its larger, more open properties surrounded by meadow and forest rather than dense neighborhoods. The cabin is set right along Highway 50, offering quick and reliable access in all seasons—especially valuable in winter—while still feeling connected to nature with forest and open land on three sides. The American River headwaters run through the property, and at 7,100 ft elevation, you’ll enjoy cooler summer temps and some of the best snowfall in the area. Plus, you’re just 1 mile from Sierra-at-Tahoe for easy ski days.

Guest Access

👋 Guests have access to the living areas of the cabin as well as the surrounding one-acre property, including the meadow and riverfront. You can explore and enjoy the natural beauty right outside your door. 🔒 Private Spaces: The entire living level of the cabin is for your use, with the exception of a few locked owner's closets. 🚙 Parking: Free parking is available in the driveway for a maximum of two (2) vehicles. No street parking. 🚫 No Garage Access: Please note that the garage is for owner use only and is not available to guests. ⛔ No EV Charging

Find us

Located directly on Highway 50, the cabin offers easy, reliable access year-round—especially in winter when mountain roads can be more unpredictable. You’re just 10 minutes to Holiday Market for groceries and essentials, 15 minutes to South Lake Tahoe, and 25 minutes to Stateline (weather and traffic permitting). The setting itself is more removed than rentals in town, with no walkable amenities or delivery services—ideal for those looking to settle in and enjoy a true mountain escape.
