My family and I spent two nights at the Rustic Cottage in Tahoe Vista. It was an great experience. My children enjoyed having the semi private yard to play with the snow. They enjoyed renting movies and getting popcorn, all included with the stay. I would give this experience 5 stars but during our second day we noticed that my children’s switch console game was missing. We looked and looked everywhere. I mean it was five of us searching for a medium cartridge everywhere inside the small cabin. My child stated he had left it on top of his bed and when we returned it was gone! At first we thought he had miss placed it. We searched everywhere, inside our bags, drawers, truck, under mattresses, every corner, you name it. It was no where to be found. When we got home we unpacked and researched everything again and didn’t find the missing game cartridge. I came to the conclusion that someone at some point went inside our cabin when we weren’t there and took it. My message to everyone is to not leave anything of value inside your cabin or anywhere. If you take something expensive make sure to take it with you. Some employees can be unethical and take what’s not theirs. The sad thing is that they left a child crying and ruined a bit of his stay there. I let the receptionist know of the incident but all she said was that they’ve had the same employees for 12 years and “supposedly” they wouldn’t take anything from inside the cabins. This is just a warning for y’all.

My husband, my dog, and I spent 2 nights at the Rustic Cottages in Tahoe Vista. We stayed in the "Sierra" cabin. We were treated wonderfully! The place was clean and had many amenities. We had a small kitchen and was able to cook our Thanksgiving meal. The cabins are across the street from the lake. We had a great time. We will definitely be back!

We fell in love with Rustic Cottages charm in August of 2019.
You can rent VHS and get popcorn at the desk, the rooms were clean and it’s right across the street from the lake. Marshall was so great and helpful and the breakfast was yummy and traditional. The dining area has so much history and character, and this whole experience was backdropped by Tahoe’s big pine trees. The cottage we stayed in had everything we needed, including cutlery, pans, cups, mini fridge and stove. Safeway is a mile up the road and we couldn’t have been more pleased with our stray.
Beautiful property, helpful staff, great location and overall fun experience.
