    The Space:

    This spacious and well-appointed cabin is the perfect rental for a family vacation or retreat with a group of friends. Located 1/4 mile from pristine Lake Tahoe near Carnelian Bay, the Macdonald Cabin is ideally situated to take advantage of all that the Tahoe Basin has to offer! This Four Bedroom, Two Bathroom home features high ceilings in the living room, a unique wood-burning stove, fully stocked kitchen and many good memories.

We had a wonderful stay. The deck was fantastic and such a relaxing place to spend time. The overall atmosphere was peaceful and enjoyable. The interior, however, could benefit from some updates and refreshing, which would make the experience even better. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and appreciated the opportunity to visit.
