Cabin vacation rentals in Markleeville

Creating memories with adult children who are living their own lives can be hard to schedule. We found the perfect opportunity for a quick weekend getaway hosted by Leif. What we thought we were getting was a house big enough to host our group. What we got, was so much more! As soon as you walk into the space, you realize that the pictures you saw on the posting do not do justice to the real thing. You’re transported into another era where life slows down and you realize the simplest of things are the really important things: like family. My children especially enjoyed the opportunity to meet Leif’s animals and feed them rinds and banana peels. Peanut was the star of the show ( if you know, you know). Thank you, Leif, for a beautiful weekend that provided a much needed respite, but offered so much more than we were expecting. We can’t wait to come back and make this a family tradition though next time we will stay longer and be more prepared with our animal food supplies : )

We had a great time at this cabin. Spacious living room and kitchen, all the amenities. The hot tub was great after a day of skiing - magical to be sitting outside warm and comfortable with the snow drifting down.

We enjoyed the stay at Tina's place. Her house is in a quite neighborhood and very close to the sugar pine point state park. Tina provided very detailed check-in instruction and the place is well-equipped (you can even use the bikes from the shed). We had an issue with the hot water from the shower and she quickly communicated back and arranged for the fix. I recommend to stay in this place.

My family had a great time at this cabin on the river! It was a beautiful location, my kids have the best time exploring the yard and river and have already asked to go back! Also, all the little extra spices/condiments, etc. in the kitchen were a huge plus for cooking meals in the nicely stocked kitchen.

The place is one of the best places Airbnb places we’ve got to stay and relax in. Comfortable and homey. Lots of fun games and music stuff We enjoyed the vinyl records ,hot tub and game room. It’s not too far off from some of the most spectacular views and trails. The hosts were very cool and we never had any issues that we needed to talk to them about. They were very accommodating and we would gladly stay here again.

My girlfriends and I had a wonderful and restorative weekend away at Elizabeth’s cabin. We loved the decor, well stocked kitchen, and relaxing among the trees in the hot tub. Elizabeth was an excellent host and quick to respond. We also appreciated her local recommendations for wine tasting and hikes. Awesome gem in Camp Connell and would love to stay again.

Nicolas’s home is excellent — clean, spacious, and very comfortable for more than just a short stay. The terrace is great for BBQ, and the shade from the acacia tree makes it perfect for breakfast outdoors. We truly appreciated that the house is pet-friendly. We had two large dogs, and they loved the small fenced area and dog door. Please clean up after your pets if you bring them too. Upstairs has several bedrooms, one with a beautiful sky and forest view. The kitchen is well-equipped (though a few more dishes would be great), laundry is available, and internet is strong. TV works well too. The host lives next door but gives you total privacy. Nicolas was always helpful and respectful. Only two small notes: the house is close to a road (not an issue for us), and we hoped the hot tub was in a more cozy location — we didn’t end up using it. Great location: close to wineries, an apple farm, shops, and gas stations. We visited Sacramento, Sonoma, Napa ,even Lake Tahoe to San Francisco

This cabin is perfect for a ski trip to Heavenly or a trip to the lake or downtown South Lake Tahoe. Location is super central and walkable, just a five minute or less walk to the shuttle to Heavenly, 20 minute walk to the marina, and 1.5 miles to the casinos in South Lake Tahoe. The place is small but cozy. Everything was super clean and tidy. The master bedroom has a sliding glass door so it gets a bit cold at night due to the lack of insulation, but the heater works great so it’s not a big deal. Maybe bring an extra blanket tho if you think about it. Megan is super responsive and helpful and overall is a great host. I highly recommend this cabin for a ski trip or a trip to the lake.

We had a great stay! The cabin was very clean and thoughtfully designed with lots of details that make it feel like a high-quality retreat, especially for families. The kitchen was incredibly well stocked—much better than most rentals—and made cooking easy and enjoyable. The cabin stayed warm overnight even without turning on the heat, and the WiFi was reliable enough for a work video call. Beds and mattresses were comfortable, and there were plenty of towels and blankets for everyone. One thing to note for families with young kids: I wouldn’t recommend it for toddlers, as the stairs are steep and the heater is floor-mounted. Fortunately, our child was old enough for it not to be an issue. A small tip: the melamine plates are very cute, but not microwave-safe—learned that the hard way! Would definitely recommend and stay again.

This property is a rare gem and we look forward to coming back for years to come. Everything was clean and as described. It was a perfect getaway for me and my little family. The river and everything about the property was absolutely beautiful. Misti was a wonderful host and very responsive and kind. We wish we stayed longer, never wanted to leave!!!!

I can’t say enough about David’s place. This little cottage has all the feelings of home. It’s super cozy and has a great location. The view is stunning from the deck. David was great about communicating with me and responding to questions. I hope to be able to return to Lake Tahoe someday and I will definitely look into staying here again. Thank you so much for sharing your little spot of paradise with us!

We LOVE staying here whatever the season! Everything is perfect for us and our husky dog inside the beautiful house and the large enclosed yard. This has been our favorite place to stay in all of Tahoe :)

We had an awesome experience staying at Stefan’s cabin. It was a peaceful and relaxing retreat for the weekend. We highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a quiet time away from the city.

If you’re looking for a peaceful nature retreat with friends and family—or a private, romantic escape to recharge with your partner—stop scrolling and book this place. You won’t find a better value, a more charming historic cabin, or a more thoughtful host near Truckee and Lake Tahoe. It was a one-of-a-kind stay we’re really glad we experienced.

This place has an amazing location easy to walk and explore around many restaurants and enjoy the beach for relaxing in the day. I rent this place to celebrate my first anniversary .We have a lot memories this time was perfect weather .

The cabin is super cozy and a great place to rest and relax after exploring the beautiful surrounding trails and lakes. Would definitely come back!

The home was comfortable and as described. We had a good stay and would stay there again.

Jim was very responsive. Jim’s place was well maintained and accurately described. We had an amazing weekend stay.

The communication with Thoung was very easy, she is very helpful! The cabin is cozy with a small fireplace. Downstairs has a queen bed, a separate bathroom, and a bunk bed. There is a strong smell downstairs, so it’s not ideal if you’re sensitive. The upstairs master bedroom is spacious. Very quiet location with a nice deck for eating outside.

Valerie's place was wonderful. It's in a beautiful and peaceful location. Valerie provided alot of helpful details about the home, the location and things to do. It was so helpful. She checked in with us, the day after we checked in, just to make sure we were doing well. The home is stocked with everything you might need, even things you didn't know you would need. Our trip was a mother/son trip to celebrate my son's high school graduation. Valerie even left a bouquet of balloons for my son to congratulate him on his graduation. Such a thoughtful gesture. We will definitely stay at Valerie's again. Julie Q, Martinez CA

Our group thoroughly enjoyed this cozy and functional cabin. It had everything we needed for our stay, good Wi-Fi, and well-stocked supplies. Quiet and with a beautiful view and access to the river. Good price point and overall a great experience - would recommend to other travelers!

We had the pleasure of staying at The Sugar Pine Speakeasy in Homewood, CA, and it was an unforgettable experience. This charming A-frame cabin is nestled between Homewood and Tahoe City, offering a serene escape surrounded by the forest. Our stay here was nothing short of magical. Whether you’re seeking adventure or relaxation, this cabin offers the perfect setting.

Perfect place if you're looking to get away and enjoy some peace and quiet. Stunning views all over and a beautiful large deck to enjoy it all. Loved cozying up around the fire at night too.

The views are worth every penny & every stair to get in and out. The beds were extremely comfortable and we felt right at home! They had everything you could need and paid attention to little details. Would love to stay again in the future!
