Photos and Description of the Sierra Tract vacation cabin rental
Warm And Inviting 3BR 2BA W/ Fabulous Views Situated Close To All Amenities

This is a cozy 3 bedroom, 2 bath home that backs up to South Lake Tahoe's most beautiful meadow. The Upper Truckee River splits and runs right through the meadow from two different directions. And to top off our Post Card View the horizon is dominated by a 180 degree view of snow-capped mountains. Our home comfortably accommodates a maximum of 6 guests.

Situated right in town but secluded enough for privacy you will find direct southern exposure enabling you to enjoy the changing colors of the day. Relax and curl up in the comfort of our cozy sofas to read while enjoying the meadow view or hike straight out from the house to breath in the fresh pine air. Our surrounding trees have numerous breeds of birds jumping and flying with colors and calls.

Our focus is to provide every comfort for your stay. Our home is outfitted with high quality linens, towels as well as really comfortable beds and furniture. Adding to the coziness and warmth the walls and ceilings are finished with aged clear-heart redwood and knotty pine. You will also find a gas fireplace insert without the work of building a fire.

The kitchen adjoins the dining area and offers the same tremendous views while you prepare breakfast or pack a lunch for the days outing. You will find all the cooking utensils, high quality pots and pans as well as paper goods, herbs and spices and condiments you might need.

We also have a teak table, chairs and gas grill at the back deck overlooking the meadow and river facing directly south.

There are numerous restaurants from 5 star to delicious local taquerias for dining in or taking out if you want to spend your time away from the stove. Our back deck provides a place to lounge in the summer months and a short walk out the back gate offers a walk along the river.

In the summer we are close to numerous beaches, biking and hiking trails as well as several golf courses to choose from. In winter we are less than 10 minutes to Heavenly Ski Resort. For other ski options you will find Sierra-at Tahoe 15 miles up the pass or Kirkwood a beautiful 45 minute drive over Luther Pass and through Hope Valley.

Of course visiting in the Spring is beautiful as the wildflowers bloom and the trees show off their light green array and Autumn brings with it a myriad of fall color that makes some hiking trails just glow.

We are located just 10 minutes from the California/Nevada state line where you will find a variety of top-notch entertainment options from restaurants to music and comedy shows, casinos and cinemas. Leaving our home in either direction you will find accessible grocery stores and specialty shops to suit your every need.

About V & Nancy Altman

For a couple of decades our family of four has enjoyed the tradition of our mountain home as a get away for the whole family or a romantic weekend for just the two of us but with our children now grown and the balancing of our schedule demands we have decided we would like to share the joy that we have had at the our cozy mountain postcard with others. Our house is outfitted as our primary home is with all of our creature comforts. We hope that you enjoy it as much as we have and make it a tradition each year.

V & Nancy Altman purchased this cabin in 1991
Why V & Nancy Altman chose Sierra Tract

We looked far and wide for months for a unique home for our family. The day we found this home, we opened the front door to reveal the treasure inside of wood walls, beam ceilings, meadow views and above all warmth, character and charm.

What makes this cabin unique

Our house is conveniently located in town but upon closing the front door behind you as a guest will feel like you are out in the forest among the meadows, mountains and streams.

Perfect escape!

5 of 5

Our visiting guests from Australia were looking for a white Christmas and not only did we have the whitest Christmas ever but a magical place to spend it. This cabin was the ideal place for our party of 4 plus baby, to celebrate the season and escape from reality for a while. Well maintained and extremely clean, we felt at home from the moment we walked in the door. This place is warm (it was very chilly outside), cozy and setup for relaxing and spending quality time with your family and friends. Sit on the uber comfy couch and your worries will fade away! The large windows in the kitchen, dining area and lounge room give way to a spectacular view of the mountains, meadow and nearby creek. Why would you ever want to leave?

We made a wonderful Christmas dinner together and the kitchen was well stocked with everything you need. Beds were comfortable and bathrooms were clean. Definitely keep the blinds open while you shower upstairs as you don't want to miss that view! So much space for the 4 of us. 6 wouldn't be a crowd either.

Although this property is not far off the main road it feels like you are a million miles away and we didn't hear any traffic noise. Super close to restaurants and cafes, the lake and just a 10-15 minute drive to Heavenly (depending on snow fall)....where we enjoyed some great powder days.

The owners take pride in their place and were a delight to to rent from. Don't look anywhere else. Just book this cute and cozy cabin and enjoy your stay!

Home away from home

This home is very inviting and the location is superb. Well maintained and equipped it is away from traffic, but very close to restaurants, ski rentals and shops.The access to the slopes, both Heavenly and Kirkwood, is convenient. This has been our second stay with another family - total of 6 people - and we had ample space, both indoors and outdoors. I have strongly recommended it to friends and family.
