When traveling to Tahoe in the winter be prepared for winter driving, possible road closures and delays in snow removal. You are booking a trip to the mountains so come prepared.
Our snow removal crews work every day, but we have no control over the county road snowplows that clear the roads.
This street is a primary plow so is done earlier than many others.
4WD and or chains are always recommended. If you come in a small, low-profile vehicle you may have difficulties.
Tahoe has experiences frequent power outages during snow, rain, wind events. We provide lanterns, but sometimes they disappear (or batteries) Golden Bear Trail is a primary plow road.

Perfect area

This house is located in a fantastic location close to many things but also far enough away to not feel like you’re in the middle of the city. The house is well-equipped with many utensils easy for cooking for a large group of friends or family. Having the master bedroom upstairs to separate yourself from the kids is also phenomenal

Easy, cute, nice place

Would recommend this place to stay! The property is as described. My family stayed here for a reunion. We had 2 dogs with us too. The kitchen is very big and has lots of space for cooking and food. There are plenty of spices and things to use to cook. Place was clean and plenty of towels. Easy check in and the garage is big. Fit 2 regular sized cars in there. Quiet and safe neighborhood. Make note the hot tub takes a while to get hot. Only thing I suggest to the property manager is to add water the hot tub and maybe clean it out if possible.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our first trip to Lake Tahoe. The house was very beautiful, clean, comfortable and cozy. We loved that it came with all the amenities that it had in the kitchen and the extra blankets for the cooler evenings. As city folks, we were searching up and down for the a/c, however found out that just about none of the houses there have them because it normally has a nice wonderful breeze. It was unfortunate that we visited during the terrible wildfires, but when we do go back we would most definitely stay at the Golden Bear again!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed here for 4 days while in town for a wedding. It was perfect for our two households because together we had 6 kids with us and all under the age of 6. The bunk beds meant kids could all sleep together and the downstairs family area was their hub! Lots of games and puzzles to keep them busy while we got ourselves fancy for the wedding. The kitchen was very well stocked and had everything we needed for the large meals we were making. Hot tub was also a hit!

Awesome Family Rental!

The home on Golden Bear is centrally located and a short drive to downtown. Perfect setup for a family with kids or an extended family like us (Grandparents + Parents w/ kids). - we got to stay in the spacious Master Suite upstairs, Mom, Dad + 3 kids camped downstairs. Lots of beds and space to spread out yet come together in the open floor plan upstairs for meals, games or bar-b-que on the deck. We had dogs with us so having the fenced in backyard was great. A usable garage was also a plus. The house is comfortably furnished and has all the needed kitchen essentials yet not too fancy that you worry about the kids breaking anything. Cozy gas fireplace was nice on cool mornings! Would definitely recommend for an active family or extended family!

Excellent Vacation Property

The property was one of the better ones I have stayed at in Tahoe, that accepts dogs. I am a responsible dog owner, so we made sure that our dogs were well behaved and that we cleaned up after them. I always write in reviews for people to pick up after their dogs as not to ruin the chances of available properties for responsible dog owners. With that being said, someone with small dogs were there prior to us because we cleaned up after them in the backyard to protect our reservation and not ruin rentals for others as mentioned above. The house was clean, comfortable, stylish and in good condition. Some things appeared worn due to the wear and tear of being a rental property, but we were happy nonetheless. Check in was easy, instructions were clear, the location was great for our needs, and the yard was adequate for our large dogs. Our dogs were also comfortable and happy. The house is large and spacious. There were plenty of supplies available as well as kitchenware and utensils. Temperature control of the house was perfect and the gas fireplace was a nice addition. We loved it and would stay again as long as Tahoe continues to allow short stay rentals.

I would book here again

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: During the booking we requested to see if it was possible to check in early and check out a little late, but got no response. Because we travel with kids and dog, the response would be nice gesture. When we got there, the floor was dirty. We only find out once our socks were all black and you can feel the stickiness on your bare feet. There was still garbage in the kitchen garbage bin. We end up having to clean the floor and took out the garbage before we even get to seat down. The sliding door on the first floor was broken, you couldn't close the door once it open, so we just left it close. In order for us to go outside, we have to use the bed room door. The previous guess didn't throw away the dog poop. They did however put the dog poop in the blue bag and just left it on the backyard. We contacted Pinnacle about our stay experience and they were able to allow use to check out late without charge and promise to reimburse partially for cleaning. Until now, after a few e-mail exchange, we still haven't see any partial reimbursement. Don't promise things if you are unable to fulfill your promise. I feels like we spend our weekend help cleaning up before and after our stay during our mini vacation. On a positive note, the living area and kitchen is really nice. You can walk around the kitchen without feeling crowed. The stair steps from the front door to the second floor can be hazard, because of the hard edge. They use tiles for the step, so be careful if your feet is wet.
