The house

Osprey Cottage is part of Cedar Crest Cottages, a historic retreat welcoming visitors since the 1930s. The home occupies a single level on the second level of a two-story cottage and has one full bathroom and one half bathroom.

Radiant-heat floors, wood-paneled walls and natural wood accents accompany a living area with a loveseat and television for streaming movies. The fully equipped kitchen includes a dishwasher, refrigerator, stove, oven, microwave, coffee maker and toaster, with a dining table seating four. A stacked washer and dryer are in the hall closet. Kitchen, laundry and bath starter essentials are provided.

The bedroom has a king bed, a private bathroom with a shower/tub combination, and access to a covered patio with two chairs. The home has free Wi-Fi and no air conditioning.

Shared facilities include a community grill and seasonal firepit surrounded by cedar trees. The firepit does not operate during winter because of heavy snowfall. One assigned on-site parking space is available. Homewood Mountain Resort is a one-minute drive away, and more advanced ski terrain is available at nearby Palisades Tahoe.
