956 Nicoleno Road

Welcome to the ultimate mountain getaway! This charming 1,200-square-foot Forest Service cabin sits on a nearly 17,000-square-foot lot, just minutes from Fallen Leaf Lake and Lake Tahoe. Tucked into a quiet neighborhood that feels like a step back in time, this is Old Tahoe at its best, where simplicity and history still reign. CASH ONLY. Forest Service cabins are not eligible for traditional financing, and ownership requires a Special Use Permit through the U.S. Forest Service (USFS). Inside, a cozy main-floor bedroom and spacious upstairs sleeping loft offer room for family and friends, while the large front deck is perfect for slow mornings and starry nights beneath towering pines. Thoughtfully updated for worry-free enjoyment, improvements include a new roof with composite tile, composite decking with redwood railing, a tankless water heater, an updated electrical panel, new wiring and grounded outlets throughout, an upstairs propane fireplace, new ground-floor laminate flooring, additional kitchen lighting, a new refrigerator, oven/range and washing machine, an exterior plumbing cleanout near the kitchen, and fresh driveway gravel. The cabin is accessible year-round, although the community gate closes during winter. If you've been dreaming of an authentic Old Tahoe retreat with modern updates near the lake, this cash-only gem is waiting for you!
