About this property

The Wildwood Cabin - Tahoe National Forest

  • Nestled in the woods of the Tahoe National Forest, the Wildwood Cabin offers a convenient all-season getaway. Situated near I-80, this location provides convenience for travelers from the Sacramento or San Francisco Bay Area seeking their next Sierra retreat.

    Alpine scenery and knotty pine interiors transport you to a cozy cabin atmosphere all while being surrounded by modern conveniences. The Wildwood Cabin can accommodate up to 10 guests, but we recommend it for couples, families, friends, or multigenerational gatherings of 4- 8 people. You'll relish the tranquility of this location, where towering Sugar Pines envelop you in the crisp, refreshing mountain air, offering a serene escape from the crowds!

    Summer at the Wildwood Cabin:
    Make the Tahoe National Forest your home base for hiking, mountain biking, and kayaking adventures. Explore local waterfalls, such as North Fork Falls in Emigrant Gap, or spend a day at the beach at Serene, Donner, or Tahoe Lakes! Load up your cooler and bring your boat because parking is plentiful.

    Winter at the Wildwood Cabin:
    Endless winter fun awaits at this ideal ski cabin, perfectly situated for your skiing and après-ski needs. Location, location, location! The Wildwood Cabin is 22 miles from Boreal and 24 miles from Sugar Bowl. A 20-minute drive will take you to a variety of family-friendly ski resorts, welcoming both beginners and advanced skiers to the mountains.

    All-Season Exploration:
    Explore historic Old Town Truckee and other charming alpine communities. 45 minutes to Gold Rush towns like Nevada City and Grass Valley. Or simply unwind, entertain, and relax at the Wildwood Cabin, where your alpine mountain getaway awaits!

    Work from the Wildwood:
    Stay connected with high-speed Starlink internet, available throughout the house. A dedicated workspace is provided in the second bedroom.

    Winter Weather:
    Please note that winter weather in the Tahoe National Forest can bring heavy snowfall. The Wildwood Cabin is conveniently situated before Donner Pass for travelers coming from San Francisco or Sacramento. For guests coming from these locations, you also avoid traffic in Truckee.

    The cabin is located on a community plowed and paved road. The driveway is also plowed once a week, which may occur before, during, or after your stay. During heavy snowstorms, you may need to shovel out your cars and walk through some snow (heavy snowfall can bring a few feet of snow) to access the cabin. Always check local road conditions and follow recommended guidelines, including carrying snow chains.

    Please be aware that smoking is not allowed, and no pets are permitted. The Wildwood Cabin is equipped with exterior cameras.

Wonderful place

Very great cabin to stay with a family. I loved the location that we were able to take our kids for a walk right there without having to drive anywhere because it can be challenging with small kids. Very clean and comfortable! Highly recommend

Short stay to get to Sugar Bowl

Everything was as advertised. Communication with the host was excellent. The cabin had everything we needed after an excellent day of snowboarding. Thank you!

Wildwood is Perfect

I stayed for a week at the Wildwood cabin with my husband and our 9 year old son and it’s perfect! Super clean and tastefully decorated with a wonderfully equipped kitchen and very comfy beds. The owners Annalise and Tim were very responsive, helpful and friendly and they left a clear and informative binder full of excellent local food and activities suggestions. Fantastic stay and we’ll definitely be back.

Great stay near Tahoe

The cabin made for an easy getaway from the Bay Area. Location was a great home base for all things Tahoe/Truckee and was only a couple minutes off 80. Cabin is tucked on a nice street with a wooded front/back yard that gave it a nice alpine setting. Arrived with clear check-in instructions to a clean cabin. Host had good recommendations for things to do and kitchen was well equipped. Comfortable beds made for a restful stay. Would come back again!

Lovely cabin for a winter getaway!

I came with a group of 7 friends for a ski weekend, and while the weather threw us a bit of a curve ball, we had a great weekend and really enjoyed the Wildwood! We found it to be very comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook group meals. The one wrinkle was that the driveway had about a foot of snow in it when we arrived and the snowplow guy didn't come until later - we did manage to find the shovels though!

Great little spot

The house was great for a comfortable stay in the mountains with just a couple downsides. The host (Annalise) is absolutely lovely and super communicative. We accidentally locked ourselves out of the house and she picked up immediately when we called and helped us get back in. The bunk room was perfect for our group of kids (9-14) -- filled with games and toys which is always amazing when traveling with a pack this age. Two downsides worth noting -- 1) Appliances in the house are a bit dated; 2) Location is a bit far from the ski hills (we go to Sugarbowl) so its a bit much to go out and back if you are doing more than one ski day, especially if you have to go through chain control.
