We really enjoyed lodge of the Nightingale! The fireplace was great, put out a lot of heat and created great ambience! House was cozy, beds were super comfy. Kitchen was fully equipped, although we did not have time to cook, nor did we have time to use the hot tub, but it looked very inviting. Very pretty area, had dinner right down the road at Gar Woods. Overall, a great stay!

The view mostly consist of the house across the street. Hot tub would only heat to 99. A fabulous neighbor cleaned the driveway after a snow storm, something to consider when renting from a vrbo; no-one is cleaning the driveway.

Family Vacation
We had a great time staying at this property for our family vacation! The house was big enough to accommodate 8 adults comfortably, and the outdoor space was great to spread out as well. The location was perfect - close enough to everything but quiet and felt like an escape. Definitely recommend this house !

Winter visit to Lake Tahoe
I came to visit this property with several friends. We had a great time and the property was as listed. The carpets were quite dirty, but apart from that the home was fine. It is a great space to relax with friends and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Lake Tahoe. It is in a very nice location and I would definitely visit again.

Awesome location and house
Came down with a group of buddies for a snowboarding trip at tahoe, 15min drive but if snowing or icy conditions expect it to be closer to half an hour to 50mins. The house was amazing! Living room had a projector screen which was def the highlight for everyone along with the hot tub! Rooms are all nice and mattresses super comfortable. Thanks!
