TThe unit was clean and close to the ski resort, which worked out well.  However, we rented the unit because it was listed as a two-bedroom.  I would say the place would be more accurately described as a studio with a king bed and a bunkbed.  Also, the toilet was not working.  I messaged the host many times without any acknowledgement.

Bunk bedding was minimal for adults with only since thin blankets. Would expect some duvets or heavier covers.Entrance door was in the drip zone from the roof and gutters. It was a skating rink getting in and out of the unit. Very sketch.Cleaning fee more than it should be for such a tiny space. Booking on a peak holiday weekend with limited inventory. What ya gonna do?

Nice cabin for family of four

Comfortable base camp

Our buddy (5'10") fit comfortably in the bunk bed and the location is convenient for both mountain and lake access. There are plenty of food options right nearby. I appreciate how well laid out (and spotless) the unit is.Sway was very helpful when we had questions and the whole process was easy and relaxing.

Short Tahoe Geraway

I chose property based on convenient location to Emerald Bay Road beaches as well as stateline, ratings and amenities for myself and two grandkids. The unit had a king bed, bunk beds, and TV streaming options with cable. The indoor space was nice as advertised. Outside is so close to Highway 50 you really hear the traffic. Buildings are warn. Biggest problem was the TV streaming and cable never worked after 2 hours of troubleshooting with phone support and empty promises that a handyman would arrive. There is no host on site or nearby to respond to any problems, on a weekday from 4:00 p.m. Their Rep could only offer apologies. She even had me go into a locked storeroom for hotspots, and those didn’t work. So we did not receive the advertised amenities within our less than 24 hour stay. Never again.

Cozy Cabin

Tiny cabin for family of 4 (2 teenage kids)for a whole week, but its what was advertised. Great location and communication with host. Fan/light kept coming on in the middle of the night, which woke us up and gave us away to a mama bear getting in the trash w her 3 cubs! Need more bear signage and encouragement for other guests to close dumpster, or move dumpster. I agree w previous review for shelves in bathroom. Also could change bedding for summer use, especially wo AC. Would stay again in a bigger cabin!

Just as expected

Worked out perfect for myself and 2 kids. The host was great, and helpful . A suggestion- it would have been helpful to have access to a broom since we went to the beach. Also - storage could be improved by adding a self in the bathroom above the towel racks for toiletries , and one near to the tv to make more room on the counter.

Good

The property manager was great, responsive, and helpful. Although the cleanliness of the room was not that great, the host offered to send someone to clean which was nice. Also, the heater was very loud if you’re used to sleeping in silence. Some ear plugs would have helped but I didn’t have any at the time. The shower was clogged so the water built up. Again, the host offered to send someone but I declined since we were not staying long. All in all, the room was okay for a night but I probably would not stay longer than that. I really appreciated the host tried to make things right with the issues we had. I would have given 5 stars if the room was cleaner and the heater wasn’t so noisy.

Amazing location! Almost next to a Starbucks

Great location, just a few minutes drive to Heavenly, easy to park. Description is accurate the only minor caveat is heater is gas based, so noise or smell need to be something you need to get used to. Other than that great place to stay

Everything was perfect!

Our entire stay was absolutely amazing! We had everything we could possibly need in our room - from blankets and spare towels, to travel coffee cups for our morning adventures. Everything was clean and comfortable, too. Check-in and check-out were a breeze. We had one slight hiccup with the bathroom sink clogging up, and when we brought it to Sway & Ashley’s attention they had someone out to fix it ASAP. The outdoor gathering area was so cute and friendly, too! Thanks for a great first stay in Tahoe!

Perfect for what I needed. Great common area was a bonus I had not anticipated. Fire pit tables and BBQs under a canopy of trees. I was able to back my car up to the entrance which was convenient for loading / unloading. Great communication with property manager, and I could see the care being taken by maintenance staff to have everything outside clean and ready for use.
