Description

**DOGS CONSIDERED**

Previously called DOUGLAS, this modest mountain cabin is nestled in the trees, backs to National Forest land, and is perfect for hiking, biking and snowmobiling and cross country skiing. This home features a large hot tub on the wrap-around deck, with trees helping protect some privacy from the road. Living room with sofabed, woodburning fireplace, DVD player, full kitchen, 1/2 bath and laundry, and dining area. One room has a Queen bed with flatscreen TV/DVD, the other with 2 Single beds, flatscreen TV/DVD and a full bath between.

Great location right at the beginning of a trail-head with a pretty massive hottub and plenty of firewood in the garage for the wood-buring fireplace.

Lovely stay!

We had a wonderful stay here - quiet location, right by a trail which was perfect for our dog. We had everything we needed in the house, the beds were really comfortable, and the hot tub was a great perk. Conveniently located just a short drive away from the lake and activities. Check in and check out were easy, and we got help super quickly when we couldn't open the padlock for the hot tub (user error). Would absolutely stay here again!

It was amazing!

It was amazing! The kitchen was amazingly stocked with dishes, utensils etc (literally the best of any place I've stayed). The beds were comfy, and loved the attention of the space heaters, extra blankets, flashlights in every room. Hot tub was amazing. Only small thing is it would have been nice for the porch to be more shoveled. There was a ton of ice from the roof dripping which made it super slippery getting into the hot tub. We tried shoveling, but it was just ice underneath so didnt help a ton. Not a huge deal, just providing some feedback :)

Loved the location

Good experience at squirrels nest overall. Loved the location (next to the hiking trail), the large deck was awesome, hot tub was cloudy (needed water change), overall house was clean.

It was a very comfortable home with just enough space for our group of 6. The wrap around deck and hot tub was an added bonus and the location of the cabin itself was peaceful. There's also a nice 3 mile trail that is right next to the cabin which we took full advantage of on our last day.

Great accommodations and fantastic location!!!

Thank you for providing a warm home to relax in. The area was beautiful. Had no problems with the fireplace. Wood provided was dry and easy to burn. Hot tub was wonderful. Clear and clean. Jake from hot tub company and his beautiful dog Maya came and made sure it was ready to use. Thank you jake. The fact we were able to bring our fur baby made the trip. Pictures of property are spot on. Have rented from Hauserman since the 80's always easy.

We honestly love the Squirrels Nest have been staying there for many years. However, in the last couple of stays we've been disappointed with the following:
Hot Tub - We won't go in, it's always murky & water needs to be changed more often. Putting chemicals in constantly doesn't work.
Fireplace - Needs checking, it smoked up the entire house where we had to open all the windows. The wood may be the cause as the flue is open or it needs a really good sweeping.
Heating - the heater is really loud & is very inefficient in the bedrooms.
So having the fireplace & hot tub amenities is nice but if you can't really use them, not worth cost of equivalent to staying at a very nice resort.

Summer fun!!!

This was our 5th summer staying at The Squirrel’s Nest. It has gotten better every summer. We have made suggestions on how things could be improved and it’s so nice to be listened to. The Hauserman staff and Mr. Douglas have been great to work with.

We really enjoyed our stay at Squirrels Nest! The home was clean, had pretty much all you'll need as well as a HUGE deck, outdoor seating, a hot tub and a wood burning fireplace (there was even wood. We'd stay there again in a heartbeat. The only minor critique is that we found the bed a little soft for our taste.

Great space for an anniversary vacation with our dog. I loved being right next to a trail which made walking the dog easy, and more interesting than just walking around a neighborhood. I also loved the fireplace and hot tub!
We did have one small issue with the house and the company had someone out to fix it immediately.
The only reason I gave it 4 stars for condition is that the shower head could be replaced. It was either incredibly hard water pressure or very light (this was due to the type of shower head). I would absolutely stay here again! Tahoe is such a beautiful place, and this was a great space to relax after days of exploring!

Great weekend had by all!

Great location for exploring North Lake. Trail starts right outside the house. 10min. walk down the hill to semi-private beach on the Lake. Great hottub. Property description is açurate - not a luxury house, but very comfortable. Had an open fire place, which we did not use. House was smelling of smoke when we arrived from prior use.

We enjoyed our stay at the Squirrels Nest home. It was very comfortable and the location was great. We rented this cabin for extra space because our family home was full for the holiday and this house was right up the street.
