About this property

Quintessential Tahoe Cabin, Private beach, kayaks, Max Occ 4 adults 2 kids

  • The Little Stone is located in the small, gated community of Elk Point, in Zephyr Cove, NV. It was built in 1927 with granite from the excavation of nearby Cave Rock Tunnel. Although it retains all the charm of a 1920s cabin, this mountain retreat was completely modernized in 2008 and won Mountain Home Magazine’s “Best Historic Preservation” award.
    Winter or summer, the Little Stone House is comfortable and inviting. The beautiful stone fireplace makes the cozy living room so relaxing after your day on the slopes. In the warmer months, this charming house provides several outdoor spaces to enjoy the beautiful scenery. Upstairs, there are two bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms – one with a large marble shower, and the other with the original clawfoot bathtub which will take you back to a simpler time as you soak and look out the skylight above. The sofa sleeper in the loft is the perfect place for the kids to sleep since there is no privacy. A small deck off the king bedroom is a relaxing spot for your morning coffee. There is also a half bathroom downstairs. The beautifully remodeled and fully equipped kitchen features marble counters and a copper farm sink, and the dining room comfortably seats six. The back deck, shaded by tall pines, has a filtered view of the lake, and the outdoor pergola with a dining table that seats eight.
    The Elk Point community has a large private beach, which you can reach by car or a five-minute walk. The beach features a roped swim area with an anchored swim and dive platform, a beach volleyball court and horseshoe pit. Double and single kayaks, stand up paddle board, bikes, water toys, sunshades and several sizes of life jackets are available for your use.

Perfect Stay for our Family

The Little Stone House was perfect for our family getaway celebrating our daughter's high school graduation. It had plenty of room for all four of us. The view from the back deck was a favorite for morning coffee and sunsets. The private beach was walkable and super convenient to drive and park when bringing more beach equipment. A wonderful trip!

Perfect place for a family get away

We loved the Little Stone House! Our family of 5 enjoyed our stay for a week. It was the perfect location to get away from the busy areas around South Lake Tahoe. The private beach was a welcome place to relax and not deal with the overcrowded public beaches near by. Nancy was the perfect host staying in constant communication about all details. We would highly recommend you staying here on your next trip.

Beautiful Rustic Charm

We really enjoyed our stay in The Little Stone House. So much history in such a beautiful setting. The location was perfect! The house is well stocked with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Nancy was a pleasure to work with. She provided an abundance of information not only about the home, but the surrounding area (best local restaurants and things to do). We'd love to return in the summer to take advantage of the lake.

Excellent Getaway with Private Beach

The perfect spot to get away for a few days, or weeks, or months...! The Little Stone House was cozy, quaint and in a perfect, quiet little community. The private beach was the definite gem, as we had it all to ourselves almost every day we were there. Nancy was a very gracious host and was always quick to respond to any questions we may have had. We will be doing our best to visit again as soon as we can! There are not enough wonderful things to say about this house. A true gem!

Relaxing Tahoe Getaway

Its hard to imagine a better Tahoe getaway. The Little Stone House has a cozy, Lodge feel. Very quiet! Beautiful tree-filtered views of the lake. Spotlessly clean, and well stocked for anything one might need to enjoy the outdoors or cook a delicious meal. We stayed there during a particularly warm spell, and the Little Stone House was pleasantly cool. Grateful for the garage, as this seemed to be (large) pinecone dropping season!

Convenient in location, quiet neighborhood, remodeled to perfection, decorated thoughtfully. The owner is quick and generous to respond, as needed. Charming place, to the utmost.

This house was everything!

We can not express enough how much we enjoyed the little stone house! This cabin is absolutely charming. The location is amazing, close to great shops and restaurants. Nancy is the best host ever- great communication and the cabin had everything we needed and so much more. Nancy is beyond generous with all the beach toys, wagon, chairs, towels- everything! Our boys loved riding their bikes through the beautiful neighborhood. We were there for July 4th and everything was perfect- amazing fireworks and having access to the private beach was so great as we had zero crowds to compete with.I really can’t express how much we adored the cabin- so much character and charm! Highly recommend-We have been to Tahoe 3 times now and the little stone house was by far our favorite! Thank you Nancy
