About Jacob Thompson
Have found adventure throughout my life - hopped freight trains across the country, lived in a treehouse 100 ft up in the redwoods during college, and pedaled a bicycle from Alaska to Argentina from 2006-2010. I currently work as a brand director for a company that makes high powered bike and scuba dive lights, but am dreaming of the next adventure.
Jacob Thompson purchased this House in 2013

Great property
Wonderful property! Great hostesses.
Cozy, homey, comfy
It is a great place. Clean, homey and comfy. I am very picky when it comes to cleanness and this cabin met my expectations. The owners super friendly and responsive, which is highly important.
We loved every minute
Our stay in the enchanted log cabin over Thanksgiving was amazing. We stayed at the cabin with another family (altogether 9 people) and got to explore Mount Rose and Lake Tahoe. The kitchen is equipped with all the necessary tools and the Foosball let us have some great tournaments. Hot tub and sauna are a relaxing treat after a day full of playing in the snow.
Clean, cozy and comfortable!
Hope we can go again next year!
We had a great time I. A nice cozy cottage.
The owners are amazing. They were always there to help me with any problems no matter how big or small. Both of my kids had a great time. We enjoyed the beach and went hiking and even struggled with the hills riding our bikes around. There is a neighborhood husky, Chief, that showed up every day for breakfast and dinner and enjoyed playing with our dog throughout the day. We are really looking forward to making this a new family retreat!!! I can not say enough good things about our experience.
Family reunion
Wonderful time. House was clean and well equipped. Great location. We had fun
Location
Perfect location for enjoying everything Tahoe has to offer. Beachside recreation areas are a few blocks away for a day of swimming, sunbathing, volleyball, paddle boarding, boating, in the crystal clear waters of Lake Tahoe. Northstar is less than ten minutes away for world class skiing/snowboarding. An expansive forested area is just two blocks away with serene trails winding through the massive pine trees and up to epic views of the lake - also great for mountain biking, snowshoeing, dirt bikes, and snowmobiling. Restaurants, grocery store, and shopping is a short walk through the neighborhood. Northshore casinos are 5 minutes away with tons of entertainment scheduled. Everything you’d want to do in Tahoe is less than ten minutes away.
