“A Magical Old Tahoe Experience”

Take in the mountain air, the native pine and all that the historic West Shore has to offer. Your enchanted cottage is just steps from the lake, and minutes from world class skiing, boarding, snowshoeing, hiking, biking, paddling, sailing & fishing. Stroll over to local hot-spots and eateries - West Shore Market, Spoon, Sunnyside or Fire Sign Café. Enjoy close access to museums, quaint shops and other activities.

For a rustic, yet eloquent “Old Tahoe” experience - make The Cottage Inn your mountain home away from home.
