A romantic escape with a “modern ski lodge” atmosphere, Osprey Cottage is part of Cedar Crest Cottages, a historic vacation retreat that has attracted visitors since the 1930s. The recently renovated home sits on the upper level of a two-story cottage, boasting a private covered porch, radiant heat, wood-paneled walls and high ceilings.

* Please be advised that this home does not have air conditioning.

Osprey also lies steps from the community fire pit, surrounded by towering cedar trees for a cozy evening after a day on the mountain or lake.

Inside, a light-filled, open-concept living area combines mountain ambience with modern entertainment. Keep your evenings tech-free with a board game on the dining room table or glass of wine on the porch -- or indulge in modern amenities with a smart soundbar and large-screen TV, fully equipped with cable, a blu-ray player and streaming capabilities.

Just below the TV, you’ll also find a spacious writer’s desk, designed to flow seamlessly with the room while adding functional work space during longer stays.

Steps from the living area, a fully equipped kitchen sets the stage for home-cooked meals with Bosch, GE, and Liebherr appliances. Enjoy cozy dinners for two, or invite guests to the 4-seat dining table.

Although this 1-bedroom cottage is designed with couples in mind, the primary suite offers a king-sized bed which can be converted to two extra-long twins upon request. Please note that any children must be over the age of 12 to stay at Osprey Cottage.

Eclectically styled in an alpine-mod style with tiled floors and a patterned accent wall, the bedroom also features a luxurious en-suite bathroom with a deep tub shower.

A separate powder room adds convenience, while a private washer and dryer allow you to pack light, no matter how long you stay. Black-out and sheer window coverings throughout allow for maximum privacy and a peaceful night’s sleep.

As a guest of Cedar Creek Cottages, you’ll enjoy access to the community BBQ grill and oversized fire pit with lake and mountain views. In the summer, stroll to the beach across the street for swimming, sailing and boating on the lake, or hike through the surrounding mountains. In the winter, drive less than two minutes to the family-friendly Homewood Mountain Resort, or just 25 minutes to the varied terrain of Olympic Valley. The restaurants, shops and entertainment of Tahoe City are less than 10 minutes away.

However you choose to explore Tahoe’s lively West Shore, Osprey Cottage offers a cozy retreat with all the comforts of home.

Please be advised that the firepit is seasonal and is not operational during the winter months due to the heavy snowfall.
