Lake Tahoe US Coast Guard A-Frame Cabins

We have had the most amazing vacations at the A Frames. We have gone up here in groups and then just a a family. They have the best rates for military. I am so glad that we found out about this location. We go up there every chance we get. It doesn’t matter what time of the season you go up there the area is so nice. There are plenty of stores and restaurants in the area and a wide variety. If your looking for a great place for your family this is a great option.

The cabins here are awesome, sleep 6-8, if you include the pull out couch. Easy check in, great rates, close to the city, and there is a gym available. Can't ask for more in Tahoe at this price. There is an oven, electric stove, microwave, fridge/freezer, dishes and cookware for use. Temperature controlled with satellite tv, Wi-Fi, and a bbq on the deck outside. Will be back.

Older A-Frame rentals. 2 buildings with 2 units each. Upper is 1 bedroom and lower is 2 bedroom. The Station is very quiet and on the lake. Supplies might be short for the number staying, but ask for what you need and the troops will do their best to accommodate. Contracted cleaning service appears to perform only minimal surface cleaning. This lodging is MWR. Person reserving must be active duty or veteran and must occupy the unit. We ARE looking forward to our next stay.

We stayed at Forest View 3 with our toddler in early August. Easy check in during normal hours. Forest View 3 is the top floor to the cabin farthest from the water. You have easy access to the pier next to the boat landing after you climb over a few rocks. The kitchen had all necessary items (pots, pans, utensils, cutlery, plates). Very quiet floors. The rooms do not have air conditioning as is normal for most places in this area. The temperatures during our stay reached the 80s and we were comfortable using the fan in the room at night to bring cold air in. Highly recommend a visit here if you have the fortune of booking a room!

The location is great, quick access to the main road but still finds tranquility. 30 minutes drive to Sand Harbor. I stayed upstairs @ the forest view 3 cabin for 2 nights, got a peek-a-boo view to the lake, cabin was nicely finished but the bathroom is due for some maintenance. The wall heater in the bedroom was noisy, light sleeper beware. The cabin didn't have a hair dryer, bring your own if you need one. Bring your own cooking oil if you plan to cook, the cabin only provided the spray on cooking oil.

Great location and price for the facilities. Well furnished and friendly staff. The units themselves are a little dated, but that seems to be a trend in the Tahoe area. They need some basic maintenance and fixes, but overall a great place.

This is a great little hidden gem! It's available to military and is an inexpensive alternative to local hotels. It's within the gated base of the Coast Guard station and has 4 different options for rentals. Each A-frame has two small apartments. We stayed in the two bedroom on the bottom of the forest view. Both A-frames are right next to each other and pretty much have a similar view. The best part is it's right by the lake and it also close to restaurants and shopping. There is a public dock right next door.

Cabin was perfect for a family getaway! The weather didn't cooperate with us on Memorial Day weekend, but the weekend was still amazing. Close to hundreds of local hikes and other outdoors adventures. Cabin was fully stocked with everything you need to cook/grill (gas grill) the ironing board was stained with an unknown brown liquid and the iron was ancient/broken. Luckily if you're just adventuring outdoors you won't need an iron. If you plan on a nice night out (Tahoe City has great restaurants and is 10 minutes away) I suggest pre-pressing your clothes.
