About this cabin rental
Welcome to Redwing River Cabin! Our mid-century retreat with private beach runs along the American River off HWY 50. Suitable for all seasons but backyard river-lounging in the warmer months may take the cake. 25 minutes from Sierra at Tahoe and 40 minutes to Heavenly in South Lake Tahoe for you skiers + boarders. After pouring our heart and soul into this home, we hope the property draws the same emotional response from you all as it does for us!
Our cozy A-frame cabin welcomes guests of all ages to this forested riverfront getaway. Our 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath abode can sleep up to six adults on five beds (children under 6 do not count towards the total occupancy). The thoughtful, modern touches combed together with the classic cabin feel make this a warm yet upscale experience.
Great space for a family, groups of friends, or couples looking for a wooded river reprieve outside life’s daily bustle. Pets are more than welcome ($50 per pet per trip) -- it's our pup's favorite place in the whole wide world. Perfect for summertime lounging in the river, hot cups of coffee on our wraparound deck in the winter and everything in between! Pour yourself a dram from the bar cart and cozy up next to the fireplace.
OUTDOORS: Direct river access and a private, flat beach. Outside of the summer months, the river runs around a frigid 50-55°, perfect for a cold plunge! Inside the summer months? You won't want to leave the water. Rafts and cornhole for your quintessential river day. Weber gas grill on main deck. Riverside wraparound deck off the main living level. River-level deck off the basement door and an upstairs balcony off the primary bedroom for great coffee views. A fourth, front deck can act as a secondary entry in the slippery winter months and becomes a sun-drenched oasis in the summer. Pathway to the river can be a bit steep and may be difficult to access for elderly and mobility impaired individuals.
We also provide fishing poles for those that enjoy casting a line straight from our private beach. Come catch Rainbow Trout along the American River!
COMMON AREAS: Wood-burning fireplace and brand new forced heat throughout. Nest thermostat. Currently, we do not have AC. Dining table for 6, expandable with leaf to 8-10. (You may host non-sleeping guests between the hours of 8am - 10pm). Washer and dryer.
KITCHEN: Fully equipped, open kitchen with stainless steel appliances, ceramic cookware, and a plethora of seasonings. Perfect for people who love to travel and cook! (i.e.: your hosts!)

Dishware, family-style serving pieces, and a variety of glassware. Children's dinnerware set. Everything you need to cook and host a great meal! We do recommend guests stop at a grocer or get takeout in Placerville or Pollock Pines as there are limited dining options nearby. There is a brand new cafe + coffee shop a 5 minute walk from the cabin, as well as an Asian American diner less than a mile away.
ENTERTAINMENT: ATT Internet Air Wi-Fi and a Samsung Smart TV, equipped with Chromecast for your modern needs. Projector and projector screen in the "kid's" bedroom. BEATS Bluetooth speaker.

This was by far one of the best VRBO's that I have stayed in. Being right on the river was such an amazing experience. The cabin was clean. It had everything you needed and more. Communication with the owner was easy and he was quick to respond. So much good to say...it was just perfect.

The perfect blend of rustic coziness and modern amenities. This cabin has everything you need for a relaxing mountain stay. Excellent access to the river. Definitely folks should be aware that the river access is via 2 story stair decent/climb. To cabin from road is additional 1 story. Excellent exercise if that’s your thing but potentially daunting if not. Love that there is a bathroom on both levels. We are kid-free but I’m sure the kiddos would love that there is a projector & pull down screen in the 2nd bedroom upstairs. Love the mid-century furniture, eclectic details, and sharp knives in the kitchen. Highly recommend.

Lovely stay. Great location at the base of south lake so we did get some snow, just enough for kids to play. River was flowing fast this April and we hope to come back when it warms up to take advantage of the outdoors, sipping wine and relaxing by the water. House is stocked with enough amenities to cook meals and the store is not far. Only thing I would state is the walk down to the door or river is steep, so take your time.Elderly, bad knee or small children might have trouble when it snows. Entrance

My wife and I stayed 3 nights with our dog at this cabin in Kayburz. We got there just in time for the first big snow of the season so we got to see the transformation from beautiful forest landscape to snow covered trees and mountains.The cabin was perfect for getting snowed in. The fireplace, the well supplied kitchen, the bed, the patio -- all 10/10. Highly recommend staying here if you can. It would be great for any season.Thanks for having us!
