Suburb home for short or longer visit to Tahoe!
My family (wife, 1.5 year old and nanny) spent a wonderful two weeks in this home. The layout was perfect to keep bedrooms nicely separated from the main living spaces (ideal for a 1.5 year old who goes to bed early and gets up even earlier!). The kitchen was a highlight for us - spacious, modern, with high-end appliances perfect for cooking family meals.There was a small office upstairs with 2x monitors, keyboard and mouse which was a wonderful surprise as we were working (a bit while not skiing) while we visited.We have added this home to our list of favorites we have visited and will certainly be planning a trip back!

The house was perfect for our large group. So much space to hang out. So clean. The house looked even bigger and better than the pictures. Would definitely book this place again.

Great Gathering Spot for Families
This home is beautiful. High ceilings and well decorated with plenty of room for our family of 11. Nice dining space and kitchen island for meals and gathering and a great room to spread out for movies or reading by the fire. It was equipped with just about everything we needed - as we cooked almost every meal. Our only complaint was that it was more cluttered then expected. The kitchen drawers had food crumbs and stained dishes piled on top of each other (which from the looks of it had been tossed around by previous guests). Games and puzzles had just been tossed into the console behind the couch. Some of the closets in the bedrooms were filled with extra sheets and blankets, and there were only a handful of wire hangers in the whole house – leaving us little room to store our clothes or hang winter coats. Luckily there was an area in the garage for our ski equipment so we managed and took advantage of the boot warmers! Our family enjoyed the house and we all loved the location being 5 min from Tahoe City and 15 minutes from Palisades. I just think someone needs to go in and give the house a deep clean and a thorough inspection!

Beautiful home that exceeds expectations!
This is a terrific rental home on the west side of Tahoe. It's an easy drive to Tahoe City and Truckee, while also feeling removed from any sort of bustle. The house is massive and more beautiful than the photos suggest. We loved the comfortable beds, great TV, enormous and well-appointed kitchen, and ample outdoor space. Would definitely stay here again in the future.

Perfect West Shore Home
This large home is very well appointed and well kept, and was the perfect central location for activities across the north, west, and south shores.
