Nice ski house
Great location close to alpine. It was only a few minute drive to the mountain. The kitchen was very well stocked and it was nice that they had a nespresso machine. Would have been nice to be able to park in the garage because of the amount of snow while we were there, but the driveway had enough parking for 4 cars. The hot tub was really nice. The kids room had tons of beds in it. None of the bedrooms had a master suite bathroom, which wasn’t much of an issue, but it would have been nice. We will definitely try to stay here again.

Alpine Meadows stay
Great stay for our family. Loved the cozy feel of the house and all of the fun details around. The property managers were very responsive and friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay again. The only issue would be if you have anyone with mobility issues as there are a lot of levels separated by 2 or 3 steps each level.

Ski weekend in March
As others have mentioned the pictures don't really do this place justice. It's beautifully decorated and laid out. Super cozy. Perfect for 2 families or one large family group. The playroom and hot tub are great. Kitchen was probably the most stocked vrbo kitchen I've been in. All the spices, oil etc. you'll need. Stuart the host is super responsive and great to work with.

Book It!
My friends and I booked this home for our annual Tahoe trip to celebrate some birthdays and it was amazing!! The layout is very goofy, but it adds to the fun of the home. One of my friends described it best as a treehouse, with all the stairs to the bedrooms down below, and the living area up top. The kitchen is well stocked, parking was aplenty, hot tub was pure bliss and the view (albeit smoky) was gorgeous. It gets pretty warm, and there’s no AC but lots of fans to move around the air. All-in-all, we very much enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.

Fun funky house close to Alpine Meadows skiing in a great quiet neighborhood.
The house was wonderful. The upstairs was great for games, reading by the fire with a nice view of the mountains. The downstairs was great for kids to be loud without being disturbed. The house was well stocked if you like to cook. It's a really cozy house with lots of amenities and the location is great.

Great place, fun stay
We loved our stay at this funky cabin. The owners/managers are immediately responsive with any questions or issues, and the place itself is super cool. We were not able to ski (resorts closed with corona) but we had plenty of fun sledding right out the door and taking walks in the beautiful neighborhood. The house is well equipped with everything you could ever imagine and the layout allows for nice separation should you want it. We'll be back!

Great location and ideal layout for two families
We stayed here for a few days in between Christmas and New Year’s, in order to ski and hang out with extended family in the Squaw Creek Area as well as Tahoma. This location was ideal, close to skiing and Tahoe City shopping and dining. The kids room/game room was most impressive, with comfortable beds for 6+ and a lot of play space. My 3.5 year old daughter fell in love with the secret cubby off of the living room and even napped in there with all of her toys. Kitchen was decently equipped for cooking and entertaining. Would definitely stay here again! **There are a lot of steps/half-levels so I wouldn’t recommend it for elderly or stair-challenged folks.
