The high point of Cedar Crest Cottages, a historic vacation retreat nestled on forested grounds with filtered lake and mountain views, Steller’s Jay Cottage is a tranquil escape surrounded by towering cedars. The newly updated retreat comfortably sleeps up to four guests with flexible accommodations, making it ideal for a family or small group of friends. *Please be advised that this home does not have air conditioning. The two-level cottage opens onto a spacious living area with hardwood floors, wood-paneled walls, picture windows and high ceilings. A couch faces a large-screen TV with streaming capabilities aided by high-speed wireless internet. Two bedrooms, conveniently located on the lower level, feature king-sized beds, one that can be converted into two twin beds. Styled in simple, modern decor with plush bedding and twin nightstands, both bedrooms feature a picture window and wall-mounted TV. Black-out and sheer window coverings throughout allow for maximum privacy. Guests share a newly remodeled bathroom with a step-in shower on the lower level, with a separate powder room on the main level for convenience. A private washer and dryer, complete with complimentary laundry pods, keeps ski clothes warm and bathing suits dry for new adventures no matter how long your stay. As a guest of Cedar Creek Cottages, you’ll enjoy access to a 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 also less than 10 minutes away. However you choose to explore Lake Tahoe, Steller’s Jay Cottage offers a tranquil place to call home in the heart of year-round recreation. Please be advised that the firepit is seasonal and is not operational during the winter months due to the heavy snowfall. Placer County STVR Compliance Requirements.

    We’ve been visiting Cedar Crest Cottages annually for six years, consistently impressed by their design and craftsmanship. We’ve even referred numerous friends and neighbors in the SF Bay Area to Cedar Crest. However, two years ago, we arrived at “our”cabin in shock at the extent of the disrepair and mismanagement. The cabin was filthy and falling apart. When we politely requested that maintenance attend to the unclean bathroom and we were denied and treated rudely. Appalled by their response, we decided to stay elsewhere the following year. This year, we rebooked knowing that there was new management. We were delighted to see that our beloved cabin had been restored to its original splendor and finally received the maintenance it deserved. We couldn’t be happier! Thank you for taking the time to properly care for these cabins, your efforts don’t go unnoticed.

    We are thrilled that the improvements made by the new ownership at the Cedar Crest Cabins and Stellar's Jay specifically did not go unnoticed. We couldn't be more grateful that you gave the place another chance and were pleased with the result. We hope to welcome you back again soon! Thank you for being our guest.

    We've stayed at Cedar Crest for years when we visit Tahoe, and were elated to find availability on short notice for a quick trip. The cottage was lovely, but is starting to show some signs of wear - particularly the upstairs sofa. Still a great property in a prime location, and we don't spend much time inside or on-site.
