Cozy cabin in an ideal location

A group of friends and I stayed at this property for a weekend ski trip. The cabin is ideal proximity to Palisades and other mountains (less than 20 min to Palisades no problem) with some beautiful lake views. Despite the deluge of snow in the prior weeks, Steve made sure the drive way was properly shoveled and we had not problem accessing the house or the backyard deck which was covered. Kitchen was well stocked with all the basics equipment you could need and we definitely made good use of that to cook our meals. If you're staying in the winter, the houses in the living room might be cozier/warmer than the futons in the basement for guests 7-8. But you can definitely fit 8 comfortably. Steve was also incredibly responsive during our stay answering any questions we had both over the phone and via the app which really put us at ease. Great weekend - highly recommend!

great place for ski week

Great house for our family's ski week. Close to Homewood for downhill and Sugar Pine Point State Park for XC skiing. The double car garage is nice to have in the winter, especially with the large amounts of snow we had while there. The house is older, but well maintained and clean. The beds, at least the ones we slept in, are very comfortable with good mattresses. Plenty of space all around. We never had contact with anyone, because we didn't need to. Everything was there, soap, towels, etc., even many leftover spices and kitchen stuff in case you didn't bring it all. Everything was well organized and explained. The road up to the house may require chains or AWD with snow tires when conditions get rough. The snow removal, both county and private for the driveway, may not come right in the morning, so you may end up shoveling some snow if you have to leave. Nothing the owner can do about, so just a heads up ... it is winter in the mountains after all. One has to be flexible. We had a great time, liked the house a lot, and would definitely come back. Thanks!

Great stay at Steve's Skyland home

Overall it was a great stay. The only thing is, I'd say I would have liked to know more about the Bear Fence/mat before showing up! As someone who is unfamiliar with bear terrain and electric fences, it was a bit scary to not know where the fence was. But Steve was a great host-very responsive!

A few fiends and I visited for some time on the slopes. The house is convenient, clean, and has lots of amenities. It was after the fact the I was informed that my good friend got engaged at this house seven years prior. We had a great time relaxing at the house after boarding all day long, thank you.

Comfortable, well located for hiking & outdoor activities

Privacy of separated bedroom spaces & adequate beds. Adequate kitchen for preparing meals with outside grill. Adequate living room with a working fireplace Outside deck surrounding 1/2 way around house but is mostly shaded. Lovely backyard for sitting or activities. Great location for privacy but yet close to lake with a walking path plus easy access to boating or other activities.

We had a great stay!

Location was unbeatable, very close to lake, with peekaboo views of the water in the large serene backyard. there was a great front deck for morning coffee, back deck was large and covered, great for the dinners we had. The pier was walking distance and perfect for a boat- it was easy to load and unload people on it. Cabin itself was great "old tahoe" vibes, but maybe could use a little "less" decor and stuff. kitchen was well stocked with dishes and cookware, beds were comfy, thank you. Hope to be back sometimes.

Decent Place

The good: This is a great location, less than one block away from the lake, and surrounded by nature. Less than a 10 minute drive to grocery stores, restaurants, state parks and popular beaches. Really lovely backyard and amazing wrap-around deck. Areas for improvement: The house is a little bit crowded with older furniture and feels a little run down. The handle for the faucet in the kitchen kept coming off and we had to fix it ourselves (just a couple of loose screws.) The family room where extra folks can sleep is dusty and a kind of uninviting and frankly not a place where anyone wants to sleep or spend anytime.

AMAZING house. Perfect cabin for a getaway to Lake Tahoe. Everything seemed very clean, the yard was extremely spacious, and the house was just perfect.

Dated but sufficient

The property is comfortable, has ample seating, plenty of clean towels, clean and comfortable beds and a kitchen with everything necessary to cook (perhaps too much stuff). There is too much random furniture and extra, unnecessary items around. Also, several things need repair. AND the price was right. It worked for our group. The deck and backyard is beautiful.
