Augie's Log Cabin

This might be the cutest little cabin you ever did see! Recently purchased and remodeled by the owners own hands, this cabin is an elevated, rustic retreat for those looking for a real Tahoe experience! From the wood burning stove being the main source of heat to the real log cabin walls, you will be submerged into old school Tahoe. This 1,054 sqft cabin sleeps 4 people in 2 bedrooms and has parking for 2 vehicles.

*Please carefully read entire listing carefully before booking.

HEATING
This home does not have central heat. It has electric subfloor heating. As a result, it doesn’t get above about 65 in this home in Winter with just the subfloor heating. However, there is an awesome wood burning stove that heats the entire home to well over 70 if used properly. You will need to buy your own wood at any of the local grocery stores nearby. If you are someone who gets cold easily or prefers the heat to be over 65 then this might not be the best spot for you. There are also 2 oil space heaters that are safe and can be left on 24/7. Please also note: the main thermostat is locked off but it is a smart thermostat and is turned all the way up before your arrival.

IMPORTANT- please read before booking!
- This home is NOT pet friendly.
- There is NO washer or dryer for guest use in this home.
- All of the furniture in this home is brand new. Some of which is light in color. We do an inspection after every booking so you may be charged if stains are found on items like the couch, dining room or side bedroom tables. If you are a red wine drinker, you will want to be extra careful.
- Please bring your own wood, kindling and lighter. All of which can be purchased at any local grocery store. Lighter fluid is a huge fire hazard and is never allowed.
- QUIET NEIGHBORHOOD: This home is located in a quiet, residential neighborhood. In Tahoe, it’s so quiet at night that you could hear a pin drop. As a result, we prefer to host quiet groups that will abide by all of the county laws. Everyone in your party will need to be out of the hot tub, if there is one, and inside by 10pm. We appreciated it!
- TRAVEL INSURANCE: We HIGHLY recommend that all of our lovely guests purchase travel insurance, as we normally do NOT refund for COVID, smoke, fires, weather, snow storms, road closures, etc. We cannot stress this enough.
- WINTER TRAVEL WARNING: During the Winter, it’s required by law that all vehicles in Tahoe carry chains, even 4WD vehicles. It is NOT recommended that you come in a mini van, Tesla or other low profile vehicle. Our roads are steep and icy so even when it’s not snowing, Tahoe is hard to navigate. We recommend SUVs, Subarus and Trucks with snow/all-terrain tires. We also recommend having some Winter driving experience.
- POWER OUTAGES: Power outages are VERY common in Tahoe. They are especially common during Winter storms. Tahoe homes do not have generators so if the power goes out, the heat might also go out. Coming to Tahoe during the Winter requires a lot of patience and a sense of adventure.
- NO AC: This home, like most in Tahoe, does not have AC but we do provide fans.
- HOME OWNER OWNED: This home is owned by a family or private owner and not by an investor, so you will be renting someone’s home. Grand Welcome does not own this home but helps the owner to manage it.
- HIGH FIRE RISK: Lake Tahoe is a high-risk fire area. Fireworks, wood fire pits, smoking/improper disposal of cigarette butts and charcoal BBQs are STRICTLY prohibited.
- BEARS: Bears and other wildlife frequent this area so make sure to lock up when you leave the home, always lock your car doors and view from afar.
- MOUNTAIN LIFE: Spiders, cobwebs and little mountain mice are common in the mountains. 
- BBQ/DECKS: The BBQ is not serviced and the decks are not shovelled in the winter due to the low temperatures and high snow levels.
- DAMAGE WAIVER: Built into your clean fee is an “Accidental Damage Waiver Policy”. You are covered for anything seen as accidental and anything seen as neglectful, you may be charged for. It’s best to report all damage to us when it occurs. We are pretty understanding!
- SECURITY: Most of our homes have exterior only security cameras and noise decibel monitoring systems to ensure we are in compliance with the county ordinance but we take our guests privacy VERY seriously. There is never indoor cameras and the exterior ones are not monitored. Most owners only look to see bears and snow levels 🙂
- SATISFACTION: If you are in anyway not satisfied, please text our local team as we prefer to handle issues when you are here to ensure your stay with us exceeds expectations! If we are alerted to issues after check out, you may not be refunded so it’s important to report them right away.
- REVIEWS: “If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all.” Same is true for reviews. We please ask that you have some grace and compassion when leaving them and we will do the same when we review you. Remember, that this is someones home before it’s a rental. The owners will see and take your review to heart. Very much appreciated! #spreadlovenothate
