Since 2015, my wife Shelley and I have stayed here every time we go to Tahoe. Barbara and Fred are wonderful hosts!! You can't find a better place to relax with such attentive and accommodating hosts! Plus, the view of the lake from the wrap-around deck is literally "unbeatable" - you have an unobstructed view of the ENTIRE lake from on high! One summer day, while soaking up the sun on the deck, I watched a sudden rain spring up and glide across the entire lake. It was Heavenly. Besides the views, their home is an amazing feat of engineering ingenuity conceived entirely by Fred. Every room is uniquely interesting.Our latest visit was this Christmas 2022. Barbara's decorations on the main level would shame anything seen in Vegas or Macy's.The bottom line - - If you're a couple looking for a QUIET and lovely home to spend a romantic getaway from the crowds and noisy types that have overrun South Lake Tahoe...this is it!

It goes without saying that Lake Tahoe is beautiful, and staying here made my trip 100% worth it! The cabin is as I understand being kept by the owners since the 1950s and they're doing a great job at it. I was immediately transported back in time to an era where it was still peaceful and quiet.I thank the owners for their kind hospitality. I would definitely stay here again whenever coming back to visit this area.

I did not stay at this home all I did was ask for a donation for a non profit organization in the community. I was treated with the utmost disrespect. I was hung up on and didn't even get the chance to explain who I was. As a local person who has grown up in the community I will not give them my time of day. It you are local I DO NOT recommend you to support this organization. Especially when they cannot support the local citizens who support them.

Tired of cookie-cutter, nameless, faceless places to stay? If so, then you are looking for this place. The owner, Frederick, designed this from the ground up, paying attention to strength, safety, and warmth. For all of the kitschy decor, the room was surprisingly neat and tidy, with attention to the basic needs of someone away from home. The views are beautiful and the lake changes throughout the day, giving guests multiple peeks at the beauty of the lake and mountains. Full kitchen in our studio, and private bath. There are about 20 steps on three landings, to get to the lower room, so be sure to ask for a ground level stay if mobility is an issue. Prices are competitive. You definitely get the bang for your buck. It is at the top of residential area, so slow as you go in climbing and have chains if there is snow or ice. The hosts, Fred and his wife Barbara, are a treasure in themselves.

This place is so fun! Frederick and Barbara are wonderful hosts. The house is unique and cozy, especially during Christmas time. Fresh European style breakfast every morning 7-10 AM. Beautiful wraparound balcony overlooking the lake and mountains. The house is nestled up a small hillside in a quiet neighborhood. If driving in ice, have chains. Two little doggies will greet you at the door after a day on the slopes. :)

Barbara and Fred are truly amazing, caring people!! The house is beautiful with an amazing "Eagle eye" view of Lake Tahoe. We stayed in the "apartment" lower level of the home but still beautiful views of lake from there as well!! We can't wait to return again. Great little hideaway for an elopement ?

To find a 7,500 sq ft hand-built German-style home (more like a lodge) on a mountain peak overlooking all of Lake Tahoe is priceless. To have the family open a portion up as a B&B so you can spend time here is unbelievable. Every room, wall and corner is custom made. The attention to detail and decoration is breathtaking. Barbara and Frederick are awesome hosts and do all the work themselves.I’ve read a few reviews with some minor gripes. To all that I say “If you can’t find a way to enjoy this treasure, try a Motel 6.”.

Beautiful place, 20min drive to most east Tahoe beach trails. It offers an amazing view, friendly owners with lots of character and great breakfast. We loved it and would definitely go back.

I rented out the apartment with my partner. Staying here was magical. We woke up and ate breakfast every morning while overlooking the mountains. The hosts are precious and we loved staying here. We will be back.

Canceled out reservation without notice at the day of arrival. We have to call Expedia for help and waited for 4 hour to book another motel. Worst business ever.
