Mallard Cottage 5, Cedar Crest, Lake Tahoe
Indulge in the serene mountain ambiance of Mallard Cottage on the tranquil West Shore. This recently renovated 2-bedroom retreat is nestled just a brief stroll from the beach and a mere one-minute drive from Homewood Mountain Resort. Perfect for a family or small gathering, Mallard Cottage is part of Cedar Crest Cottages, a cherished vacation spot with a rich history dating back to the 1930s.

Perched above the community fire pit, Mallard offers glimpses of the lake and mountains. The layout is both convenient and inviting, with living space on the upper floor and bedrooms below. The living area boasts a charming lodge aesthetic, complete with wood-paneled walls and hardwood floors, perfect for extended stays or work-cations. A spacious leather sofa overlooks a sizable desk equipped with storage and a large-screen TV. Entertainment options abound with a smart soundbar, cable, and streaming capabilities.

The two generously sized bedrooms feature king-sized beds that can be converted into extra-long twins upon request, making it adaptable for families or friends. Younger guests can enjoy the convenience of a crib or floor futon. Both bedrooms exude a cheerful mid-century vibe, adorned with patterned wallpaper, lime green accents, plush bedding, twin nightstands, picture windows, and wall-mounted TVs.

Guests share a recently renovated bathroom with a step-in shower on the lower level and a separate powder room upstairs. A private washer and dryer, along with complimentary laundry pods, offer added convenience. Blackout and sheer window coverings ensure maximum privacy and a restful night's sleep.

As guests of Cedar Crest Cottages, you'll have access to a community BBQ grill and a spacious fire pit boasting stunning lake and mountain vistas. During the summer months, enjoy leisurely strolls to the nearby beach for lake activities or scenic hikes in the surrounding mountains. In winter, Homewood Mountain Resort is just a short drive away, with Olympic Valley's diverse terrain a mere 25 minutes by car.

Situated on Lake Tahoe's picturesque West Shore, Mallard Cottage provides a modern and inviting retreat as you explore the area's parks, trails, slopes, and beaches. Tahoe City's dining, shopping, and entertainment options are a convenient 10-minute drive away.

Please note that this home does not have air conditioning and the fire pit is seasonal and not operational during the winter months due to heavy snowfall.

Common Questions

Do we share the villa? click to close

No. You will not share the villa with another party. The villa is exclusively yours. If a larger villa offers a lower bedroom rate category, the villa will remain exclusively yours but the unrented bedrooms will be locked off.
For example, a 5 bedroom villa that offers a 3 bedroom rate will be the exclusive use of the guest but two bedrooms and their en-suite bathrooms will be locked off. Capacity is capped at 2 guests per bedroom.

Are we protected from fraud? click to open

Yes. Isle Blue stands behind you throughout your entire vacation. Unlike other companies, each property we offer has been hand picked to ensure that our standards are met. All property managers are vetted and payments are required to be held in escrow. Our primary obligation is to ensure your satisfaction and to have an exceptionally memorable vacation.

Can you explain the reservation process? click to open

Once a reservation request is received, Isle Blue will request a contract from the property manager for your dates of interest. Once the dates are confirmed and contract is received from the property manager, a payment will be required to confirm your reservation.
Once a reservation is confirmed, a concierge will welcome you to the planning stages of your vacation to assist with arrival logistics, rental cars, transfers, and a host of concierge services.

Can we arrange an early check in? click to open

Early check in may be possible but is at the sole discretion of the property manager. Early check in permission may not be granted until 24 hours prior to arrival.

Can we arrange a late check out? click to open

A late check out is rarely granted due to the turnover needs of a villa. A late check out may only be granted 24 hours prior to your departure from the property and only when there is no check in scheduled on the day of your check out. If a late check out is urgently needed please contact us.

Are transfers to the property included? click to open

Select villas may include a one way or roundtrip airport transfer while others may provide an escort or meeting point. Arrival logistics will be handled by your dedicated concierge as well as other concierge needs. The property's transfer policy will be listed under the Policies section.

What to expect upon arrival? click to open

In general, a villa orientation will be provided along with a key turnover. During the orientation, information and instructions for the property will be provided. Emergency contact information will be provided. We are available 7 days a week to assist with any urgent needs.
The arrival procedures vary from villa to villa, select villas may include welcome provisioning while other properties will provide basic arrival information.

What is the cancellation policy? click to open

Since these vacation homes are one of a kind properties, the cancellation policy is strict. We highly recommend considering trip/travel insurance to protect against any unexpected cancellations or issues that may arise.
For more details, please visit Travel Protection

What happens if the property becomes unavailable after I reserve? click to open

In the unlikely event, the rented property becomes unavailable due to a major issue that may affect a guest's experience or a transfer of ownership, Isle Blue will coordinate with the property manager to find an alternate property of equal or superior standard that is subject to the guest's approval. If an alternate property is not acceptable to the guest, the guest will receive a full refund.

Do you accept credit cards (American Express, Mastercard, or Visa)? click to open

Yes, we accept all major credit cards. American Express, Visa, Mastercard and Discover are accepted. Please note that credit card charges may be subject to additional fees. There are no fees with payment by wire transfer or check.
In the near future, we expect to accept a greater variety of payment methods and currencies via Stripe.

Is housekeeping included? click to open

Housekeeping tends to be a standard among vacation homes but the frequency may vary greatly depending on the property manager’s standards. Most properties will offer daily housekeeping (except Sunday and Christmas/New Year holidays) while other villas may only provide a mid-week cleaning. Please refer to the Staff section to learn about the housekeeping frequency of the property.

Are towels and linens provided? click to open

Yes. The property will provide bath and pool towels along with linens. Towels and linens will be refreshed as needed.

Are toiletries and tissues provided? click to open

A property may supply an initial supply of soap, shampoo, toilet paper and paper towels but replenishment of supplies once exhausted may be the responsibility of the guest. Each property varies in their handling of toiletries and paper products.

Is a hair dryer available? click to open

A hair dryer should be available at the property. Upon arrival, please check the bathrooms or closet. Typically, a hair dryer is included in each bathroom.

Is an iron included? click to open
