The Ref-Nest is located in the highly desirable neighborhood of Chambers Landing on the West Shore of Lake Tahoe, just past Homewood and Homewood Ski Resort. With six bedrooms and three bathrooms, this spacious, one of a kind home sleeps 16!
Custom built by owner/contractor, you’ll have 4000 square feet of space in this cabin, designed with large family gatherings in mind. The expansive great room features a large river rock wood-burning fireplace, comfortable furnishings for TV viewing, reading, and table games. Wi-Fi keeps you connected. Off the great room, the outdoor deck features a gas grill and is a fantastic place for summer dining, bird watching, or sunbathing.
The fully equipped modern kitchen features a large island with granite countertops and seating for six, a dining table that accommodates ten, and abundant cabinet space including a pantry.
The master suite with king bed has plenty of room for additional young children and a full bathroom next door. All the above are on the entry level of the home.
The downstairs includes five bedrooms: one king, two queen bedrooms, and two bunkrooms with four beds each. One bunkroom has a game area with TV and foosball. There are two full bathrooms, a common vanity with double sinks, and a washer and dryer. An exterior door leads to the beautifully landscaped backyard.
Parking - maximum four to five cars (driveway and garage) - Street parking never permitted.
In summer months, the cabin is a short walk to our 'members only' private beach at Chambers Landing, known for its pristine views of Lake Tahoe. Visitors can also enjoy the public sandy beach and historic restaurant, bar, and pier at Chambers Landing. Transportation is made easy by catching a ride on the shuttle service.
Your home away from home is close to Meeks Bay, with a terrific sandy beach and paddleboard and boat rentals. Located on National Forest Land, the Meeks Bay shoreline is popular for its beautiful scenery, clean beaches, and easy access. The area offers a high concentration of recreation opportunities including swimming, biking, boating and hiking into the nearby Desolation Wilderness.
You won’t want to miss the icon of Lake Tahoe, Emerald Bay, a short drive away. Emerald Bay State Park boasts 360-degree picturesque views that encompass Emerald Bay, Fannette Island, Eagle Falls, and Vikingsholm Castle.
Just a few miles down the road you’ll find Homewood, Alpine Meadows, and Squaw Valley Ski Resorts. The Magical West Shore has great options for whatever you fancy: snowshoeing, snowboarding, downhill or cross-country skiing, sledding, and more!
Interested dining options? We recommend the Fire Sign Cafe for breakfast and lunch. The local market is convenient for a quick stop and West Shore Pizza is sure to please.
To experience all the gambling and nightlife that the Lake Tahoe offers, South Lake Tahoe/Stateline is about a 30-minute drive.

10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Dec 2025
Amazing cabin located in one of the most beautiful places in the country. Host was easy to communicate with, fast responses, very accommodating. Reasonable price for Thanksgiving weekend. My guests from Florida said it was like a hallmark card type of home. They almost just wanted to stay at the cabin and not explore Tahoe. It is very spacious even for 14 people. Kitchen is complete from pans to spices. Highlight was we saw a bear on that Saturday morning across the street. Definitely will book again for large group of atleast 10 to 12 people. Once again, thank you to the host.
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Jul 2025
Spacious and Family-Friendly StayWe had a great time at this spacious and comfortable home — perfect for a group of friends with young kids. There was plenty of room for everyone to relax and enjoy. One thing to note: we were surprised by how frequently we saw bears around the property, including in the backyard and walking past the house daily. The electric fence hinted at some wildlife activity, but we would have appreciated a heads-up in advance. Just something to be aware of if you’re visiting with little ones.

Had a wonderful few days in Tahoe with family at this well-stocked home in Chambers Landing. The house was clean upon arrival with plenty of beds for all (with extras!). We even had a bear come visit a few times which the kids were able to watch safely from inside. Keeping food out of your cars and keeping the house closed up is excellent advice not to be ignored!We are already talking about returning next summer.

Reviewer Comments:
Beautiful home, nice views from living room, very clean, lots of space for our family (16) everything you need in the kitchen is provided, pots pans, silverware, dishes. There is washing machine downstairs and there are plenty of board games for everyone to enjoy. Home is in a good location, very quiet and not too far from dinning, grocery store, Savemart about 6 miles away. There is also a beach walking distance from the home.Easy to check in and out. Only negative was that a bear broke into one of our cars parked in the driveway, a bag of chips was left in the vehicle so we assume that’s what it was going after, broke a window and bent the door. Other than that everything was great, family had a blast!
