We couldn't have picked a better cabin to stay in for my wife's 40th birthday. We enjoyed barbecuing, using the hot tub, and playing croquet in the back yard. We felt like the cabin was perfectly centralized for all our outdoor activities. Hiking, cycling, and boating etc... Thank you for making our first trip to Lake Tahoe a memorable one, we will be back!

Beautiful house for multiple families. Furnishings, indoor and outdoor space, kitchen, all beautiful. The internet access was completely non-functional for the entirety of our stay. This was not due to a provider outage but was specific to the property itself. We had four working adults who were relying on a stable internet connection to work remotely, which was one of the reasons we selected this home. In addition to impacting our ability to work, this issue rendered the numerous TVs—each reliant on internet streaming—unusable. Secondly, the dryer in the home was not working, a fact confirmed by the maintenance technician. With eight people staying at the property, including four children, this created a significant inconvenience. We had planned accordingly to do laundry during the stay and did not overpack, assuming the listed amenities would be available and functional. While we understand that occasional issues can arise, the combination of all these problems made our stay far less enjoyable and convenient than we had expected. The lack of resolution during the stay only added to our frustration. Heather from Tahoe Rental Company was great to try and resolve our issues. However, given the extent of the disruptions, we were given a less than satisfactory resolution on our cost.

Family Snow Trip 2025
We took our grown children and grandsons for a 5 night stay at Lazy Bear. The house was beautiful and perfect, plenty of room for everyone to have their own space . Great location to snow park and Boreal. However we did have a few issues that needed attention luckily my husband could make all the repairs . We had a difficult time coresponding with Bethany from Tahoe rentals. The hot water faucet was broken in the master suite, the air hockey table was broken and duct taped together. The hot tub had three jets floating around in it. We never received the towels for the hot tub which was fine . The shower in the other master suite wouldn’t drain.I would hope the rental company would walk through the house prior to guests checking in or when they arrive. There were a few other minor issues but my husband did fix everything so we had a wonderful stay. We loved being able to cook and bbq and all be together in this beautiful home . We did contact Bethany but took 3 days for her to reply. Also none of our issues were considered an emergency by their house book. I did contact them again after we were home but they was not any real resolution. If you stay and have any issues I suggest you contact Heather as she is most helpful and professional. All in all we did love this house very much and would recommend it to families to all be together and enjoy a vacation as we all did .

Beautiful House, Great Location
The house was absolutely perfect and well maintained. We had 4 couples who stayed and each had our own room and bathroom. The house was spacious enough that we didn't feel like we were on top of each other. The inside was clean and outdoors was well groomed and maintained. Everything was easy to get to and overall we enjoyed our stay. Would highly recommend.

Thanksgiving Family gathering
Great place for families. Nice beds and plenty of bathrooms. Close to grocery stores. Snow park right down the street, grand kids love sledding and ice skating in Squaw valley. (I refuse to call it palisades). Town of Truckee a short beautiful drive away with a kid zone museum and for some California history, the Donner memorial. We had snow but no skiing yet….
Kitchen was a little smaller then we thought but no big. Would like to return in summer to enjoy the beautiful backyard. Champagne and grand kids, everything I look for in a thanksgiving getaway! Everyone had a great time.
