Welcome to The Heartwood Lodge Tahoe! A spacious, family-friendly South Lake Tahoe cabin perfectly designed for connection, comfort, and fun — a short walk to Lake Tahoe beaches, trails, a few local restaurants, and more. This 5-bedroom home features a private hot tub, game-filled bunk room, pool table, outdoor and indoor ping pong, and plenty of cozy gathering spaces, surrounded by tall pines.
Whether you’re here for summer lake days, crisp fall bike rides, or a winter getaway near the slopes, The Heartwood Lodge is your home base for year-round Tahoe adventures.
The Space
Heartwood Lodge Tahoe blends the charm of classic Tahoe craftsmanship with modern comfort and family-friendly fun — modern comfort with a mountain soul.
The main living area invites relaxation with plush seating around a wood-burning fireplace and a smart TV for cozy nights. The fully equipped kitchen features high-end appliances, including an induction cooktop, extra-large oven, Nespresso machine, and air fryer — everything you need to cook, gather, and entertain with ease.
Kids (and kids at heart) will love the back game room and bunk bed room, featuring a Ms. Pac-Man multi-game arcade, PlayStation 5, convertible pool / ping pong / game table, smart TV, a large sectional, and a corner lounge area which converts into two additional twin beds. The nearby bunk room includes six custom-built bunks, each with its own USB charging port.
Adults can enjoy quiet conversation up front while the kids have their own space in back — a layout families and groups consistently love. There’s also a third living area in the corner bedroom, complete with a modular sofa and smart TV. With three separate living spaces, the home offers plenty of room to spread out or come together for connection and fun.
After a day on the slopes or by the lake, unwind in the private hot tub, grill dinner outdoors, or simply relax beneath the pines with a drink in hand.
