Visit the lodging page of the Lake Tahoe Visitor Authority's Lake Tahoe South Shore website. The site lists a range of options for visitors, including resorts and rentals with cabins. Each listing includes a short description of the property to help you determine where to reserve your stay.
Determine where in South Tahoe you would like to stay. Narrowing your search area can help you decide which cabin is right for you. Rent a cabin close to downtown South Lake Tahoe if you want to be near the amenities of a city. Many cabins are in Heavenly Village near the Nevada-California border. Cabins here are ideally situated for enjoying one of the 94 ski trails at the Heavenly Mountain Resort during the winter or using it as a base for hiking, mountain biking or boating on Lake Tahoe during the summer months. If you prefer a cabin with a lake view or want to be close to Nevada's casinos, consider renting a cabin under 20 minutes north of South Lake Tahoe in Zephyr Cove, Nevada.
Search specific lodging options in the South Shore on Lake Tahoe Visitor Authority's homepage. Check the availability of accommodation by entering your desired dates and the number of people sharing the cabin. You should also look at the website's Hot Deals page, which includes specials during the Amgen Tour of California (the state's version of the Tour de France) or seasonal lodging packages with ski lift tickets included.
Review the search results and select the option that best meets your needs. Any lodging option with cabins available for you to reserve will be listed in the search results. Read the description of each cabin, as amenities may vary. Some cabins may be equipped with full kitchens while others may only have kitchenettes. Certain cabins may also have additional comforts that you may want to enhance your stay, including wireless Internet, hot tubs or fireplaces. Also take note of where the cabin is located, since most cabins are located outside downtown South Lake Tahoe in neighboring communities (e.g., Heavenly Village and Zephyr Cove).
Reserve your cabin. You'll be required to provide your contact information and credit card details to finalize your booking. After entering your payment details, make sure your dates are correct and that you've booked the correct number of people staying in the cabin.
Print a copy of the reservation confirmation for your records. You should also bring a copy of the confirmation when you travel to South Tahoe since you may be required present it when you arrive at your cabin.
