Tahoe Weekend with Friends
My friends and I came from all over the country (Kansas, Colorado, Wisconsin, California) to meet in the middle, and boy did we end up with the best house! The communication was great, I was able to get both an early check in and late check out. There was more than enough bed space, towels, linens, extra blankets, etc. The neighborhood was beautiful, quiet, and literally connected to the ski mountain. We got so lucky.

Awesome location, great house
The house was perfect for our group of 12. Super easy access to the mountain, and hosts were very responsive. The WiFi was not consistent enough to work from the house, though the hosts did everything they could to help.

Second stay
This was our second year in a row booking this property for our kids’ school’s mid-winter break. The house is suited for two families traveling together. The location is unparalleled for access to Alpine Meadows. We had a very comfortable stay (again)!

Cozy and comfortable stay
This property accommodated a party of 11 which included two children and a fur baby. Beautiful views very comfortable home. Shops and grocery store were near by within 15 minutes of this property. The location of this property is in a residential area that is very quiet and open.

1 week with 8 adults, 10-year old, and small dog
This review is for a mid July visit. House has lots of plusses -extremely quiet neighborhood, easy access to the Tahoe Rim Trail. Kitchen was fairly well stocked with pots/pans, baking dishes, chopping boards, etc. House was clean + enough bathroom towels for our party. Plenty of trash cans in bear locker. Each room & common space has Roku TV. Can stream whatever you want. Internet was generally able to handle high use. Great patio furniture outside on a nice deck.
Some challenges that management company was quick to address @ oven issue & handyman sent same day. Some essentials missing like kitchen towels. Leaking dishwasher on last night, but given attention of the company, I suspect they would have followed up to make sure it worked. It was clear the company wanted our group to have a good experience as they were far more responsive than most rentals I've been in.
To decide if this VRBO is for you, know:
*Multiple sets of stairs from the driveway up to the house,1 set of stairs from the entry door to the main floor with kitchen & common space & 1 more set of stairs from main floor to common area.
*Main table realistically seats 7. Larger group needs card table in the house + extra chairs. Our group eating together was a tad cramped.
*2 folks at a time in kitchen.
*Hot tub was lovely w/ good instructions though cover unwieldy.
*Common area squeezed 9
*Overall good value given price & late booking +pet.
*Close to ski area so I imagine winter would be quite nice.

Wonderful Stay
Perfect choice for our family getaway to Tahoe. The location is near several places to enjoy either the mountain and as well as the lake. The house is well-appointed and has excellent views. It was a great fit for our family gathering of 12. Would book again!

Stairs
The first set of stairs outside and the inside stairs were a challenge for me. I have in my 70s and had a lot of trouble getting up and down those. The rest of my younger family had no problem. But this is something you might want to mention If a group of Senior people were looking to rent. Or anybody with a handicap.

Perfect Getaway!
An outstanding choice for our vacation in Tahoe. Location is awesome near the mountain as well as the lake. The house is well-equipped and the team is very quick to support with any issues. Enjoyed the hot tub and the comfortable bedding. Excellent views, clean, well appointed and the house was a great fit. We could not have asked for more.

The best location!
We were thrilled to stay 2 min drive from the base of Sherwood. A driver would do two drop off runs and then we were able to park in the small lot with an amazing attendant, Brenda. Some of our party were even able to ski from the backside of Lakeview down to the house. All communication with property managers was thorough and prompt. We very much enjoyed our stay.
