Quintessential Tahoe Cabin, Private beach, kayaks, Max Occ 4 adults 2 kids
The Little Stone is located in the small, gated community of Elk Point, in Zephyr Cove, NV. It was built in 1927 with granite from the excavation of nearby Cave Rock Tunnel. Although it retains all the charm of a 1920s cabin, this mountain retreat was completely modernized in 2008 and won Mountain Home Magazine’s “Best Historic Preservation” award. Winter or summer, the Little Stone House is comfortable and inviting. The beautiful stone fireplace makes the cozy living room so relaxing after your day on the slopes. In the warmer months, this charming house provides several outdoor spaces to enjoy the beautiful scenery. Upstairs, there are two bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms – one with a large marble shower, and the other with the original clawfoot bathtub which will take you back to a simpler time as you soak and look out the skylight above. The sofa sleeper in the loft is the perfect place for the kids to sleep since there is no privacy. A small deck off the king bedroom is a relaxing spot for your morning coffee. There is also a half bathroom downstairs. The beautifully remodeled and fully equipped kitchen features marble counters and a copper farm sink, and the dining room comfortably seats six. The back deck, shaded by tall pines, has a filtered view of the lake, and the outdoor pergola with a dining table that seats eight. The Elk Point community has a large private beach, which you can reach by car or a five-minute walk. The beach features a roped swim area with an anchored swim and dive platform, a beach volleyball court and horseshoe pit. Double and single kayaks, stand up paddle board, bikes, water toys, sunshades and several sizes of life jackets are available for your use.

This property is beautiful and cozy. We really enjoyed the warmth from the fireplace and the very short walk to the beach. Everything was comfortable and clean. Highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a comfortable place to stay in the Tahoe area!
Charming home! It was a great fit for us (2 parents, 2 kids) and in a great location during the winter. Nancy was a great host who made sure we had all needed info, as well as a ton of suggestions for activities. Will be coming back!
We loved the Little Stone House, such a welcoming home & just right for our family. The private dock was a highlight, with kayaks and SUP and all the beach toys!
We loved our long weekend stay at the Little Stone House! Kitchen had everything we needed. The private beach was excellent. We hope to come again next year!
We loved staying in this stone house. It's in a quiet neighborhood with acesable walkign trails and access to the beach. The owner was super helpful and takes loving care of the home. We will come again for sure!
This property is truly amazing. The Little Stonehouse is super clean, very well stocked, and is warm and comfortable. The location is great with many hiking paths and close to the lake. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone wishing to visit Lake Tahoe.
Our stay couldn’t have been any better. Everything was smooth from checking in to checking out. Our goal is to stay here again in the near future. Nancy is a world class host!
We had a great time staying here. The house was clean. The kitchen was well stocked and the views were great! The loft has plenty of games for the family. Nancy was a delight to work with. We booked last minute and it was easy and the communication was great. We will definitely book this again!
Rustic and cozy stone house with all the modern amenities nestled in a beautiful, quiet, wooded neighborhood a short walk from Lake Tahoe. Beautiful setting!
The Little Stone House was perfect for our family getaway celebrating our daughter's high school graduation. It had plenty of room for all four of us. The view from the back deck was a favorite for morning coffee and sunsets. The private beach was walkable and super convenient to drive and park when bringing more beach equipment. A wonderful trip!
We loved our stay at the Little Stone House! It was so clean and inviting with access to a private beach. What more can you ask for?
We’ll be back at some point!!!
The little stone house is the perfect place for a Tahoe vacation. It is ocated so close to many wo derful activities, with its own private beach, and has all the touches of home to make it perfect. But what really outs it over the top is super host Nancy - she is avaialable, helpful, and encouraging. What a wonderful experience. I can' wait to return!
Great things about this place: The owners are awesome. The location is excellent. The lake is visible from the back yard. Lake Tahoe is a great location. I really enjoyed this Little Stone House! I hope to be back. A++
We loved the Little Stone House! Our family of 5 enjoyed our stay for a week. It was the perfect location to get away from the busy areas around South Lake Tahoe. The private beach was a welcome place to relax and not deal with the overcrowded public beaches near by. Nancy was the perfect host staying in constant communication about all details. We would highly recommend you staying here on your next trip.
We had a wonderful time at the house. It was clean, quiet, comfortable, peaceful, beautiful, and had everything (and more) that we could have asked for. It was the perfect place to make memories together as a family. Thank you Nancy for sharing it with others!
Elk Point is about 5 minutes from state line. this house is stocked with everything you need to have fun in the sun at their private beach.
Nancy is an amazing host.

We really enjoyed our stay in The Little Stone House. So much history in such a beautiful setting. The location was perfect! The house is well stocked with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Nancy was a pleasure to work with. She provided an abundance of information not only about the home, but the surrounding area (best local restaurants and things to do). We'd love to return in the summer to take advantage of the lake.
The perfect spot to get away for a few days, or weeks, or months...! The Little Stone House was cozy, quaint and in a perfect, quiet little community. The private beach was the definite gem, as we had it all to ourselves almost every day we were there. Nancy was a very gracious host and was always quick to respond to any questions we may have had. We will be doing our best to visit again as soon as we can! There are not enough wonderful things to say about this house. A true gem!
We can not express enough how much we enjoyed the little stone house! This cabin is absolutely charming. The location is amazing, close to great shops and restaurants. Nancy is the best host ever- great communication and the cabin had everything we needed and so much more. Nancy is beyond generous with all the beach toys, wagon, chairs, towels- everything! Our boys loved riding their bikes through the beautiful neighborhood. We were there for July 4th and everything was perfect- amazing fireworks and having access to the private beach was so great as we had zero crowds to compete with.I really can’t express how much we adored the cabin- so much character and charm! Highly recommend-We have been to Tahoe 3 times now and the little stone house was by far our favorite! Thank you Nancy
EVERYTHING is exactly as advertised. Nancy is such a pleasure to work with and she has thought of everything. The private beach is a huge plus - no fighting the crowds! The location is close to all the activities and food and amenities. We will definitely be back. We already miss our morning coffee and afternoon naps on the deck.
Its hard to imagine a better Tahoe getaway. The Little Stone House has a cozy, Lodge feel. Very quiet! Beautiful tree-filtered views of the lake. Spotlessly clean, and well stocked for anything one might need to enjoy the outdoors or cook a delicious meal. We stayed there during a particularly warm spell, and the Little Stone House was pleasantly cool. Grateful for the garage, as this seemed to be (large) pinecone dropping season!
A small part of me wants to tell everyone how you shouldn't come here... just so i can enjoy booking this amazing gem whenever I wanted. But alas, i will tell the truth: it was perfect! Convenient in location, quiet neighborhood, remodeled to perfection, decorated thoughtfully. The owner is quick and generous to respond, as needed. Charming place, to the utmost.
The Little Stone house was the perfect weekend get away for our family and 3-year old niece. We really enjoyed the historic house with modern luxuries. It has a full kitchen with everything you would need to cook. We enjoyed the backyard too with a little view of the lake. Nice quiet neighborhood which feels private and safe. The only issue is the neighbors very clearly display “renters not welcome” signs in their windows which makes you feel a tiny bit unwelcome. But it’s easy to ignore and they keep themselves. It’s an awesome location with a short drive to the nearest Safeway and only 7 mins from heavenly village. The little stone house was very kid friendly with an area for kids to watch movies and play. Overall a very special place and we look forward to our next stay!
My wife and I stayed for 3 nights in the summer. The house is beautiful and fully equipped with everything you need inside the house and for a trip to the private beach less than a 5 minutes away.
Our host Nancy went out of her way to be accommodating and was quick to text back if I had any questions. She clearly takes pride in this property and it shows. She's thought of everything to make your stay comfortable as well as informed on anything you might want to do.
The house is perfectly located away from the madness in town in a quiet neighborhood but is just a quick drive to get in the thick of everything.
We made great memories in our short time there and would definitely return.
