Our adult children joined us for a 5 night getaway and it was perfect! We loved the comfortable, tasteful decor, comfortable beds and well stocked kitchen. The location is great - forested neighborhood close to the lake and Tahoe City. Plus the entire home was absolutely spotless. We plan to return!

Wonderful property and location

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. The house is exactly as described and the layout works well for multiple groups and/or families with kids. There is a private master on the ground floor which worked well for the grandparents and a bonus room off of the kid's room upstairs, complete with games, kids books, and toys. The location was beautiful for staying around the area and convenient for morning trips to the North Shore. We really appreciated the ease of check in/out, communication with the rental company, and the advice on nearby activities from the owners. Overall, we were very pleased with our stay and would love to come back!

Absolutely Wonderful Home Near Skiing

I rented this home for 6 days between Christmas and New Years for our family of 8 ranging in age from 71 (me) to 3 yrs old. The house was nice and warm when we arrived. Everything was in good working order and the kitchen well stocked. We enjoyed the hot tub in 35 degree weather! We were 5 minutes away from Granlibakken for sledding. I would return here in a heart beat.

This house was beautiful inside with great amenities. The backyard patios, furniture, and hot tub were great. The lot itself was large and beautiful. What I did not like about the property is that some of the front deck rails had rotted and were broken, so the deck was closed off with mesh with signs advising us not to lean on the rails. My feeling is that this was a relatively simple, but costly repair. I had grandkids, so we could not use the front decks. I would not consider this place as being walkable to Tahoe City, unless you are in good shape. It’s about 1.5 miles to downtown. Fix the deck railings, and I have no complaints. Again, this is a beautiful home on a beautiful lot.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I loved staying here for the winter. This home is perfectly located for skiing Palisades. On busy weekends, it would take us 25 minutes, and for spring weekends, only 15 minutes! This home is also designed beautifully for entertaining, fostering late night chats beside the fireplace, and hanging out with the kitchen as the heart of the home, not the television. Would love to stay here again!

Quiet stay in Tahoe City

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house is clean, nicely decorated with high quality fixtures and amenities. Kitchen has plenty of supplies and cookware. The backyard and deck areas are beautiful and a great place to watch birds and enjoy the view. The bear box was stuffed to the gills when we arrived so upon departure we had to remove the other people's trash and reorganize all the garbage to fit ours in as well. At first we weren't sure we could fit it and spent an hour researching trash facilities the night before departure. We couldn't find an open trash place so spent the time re-organizing all the dirty trash. Kind of a bummer but we made it work.

Quality Time with the Family

My husband and I stayed here for 4 nights during our wedding weekend with our 2 year old, my sisters, and their families/kids. This property was wonderful! A very convenient location to downtown TC, Sunnyside and the best of the West Shore. The kids loved playing in the separate living area…which is really a kids wing of the house with living room, game closet and bedroom. We enjoyed the hot tub, outdoor space and cozy downstairs living room. The master bedroom is immediately inside the front door and adjacent to the garage which did make the temperature cooler than the rest of the house but it was not an issue for us. FYI they do not allow early check in requests. Highly recommend this property for quality family time!

The garbage piled up because our rental started on a Wednesday and the management company didn't put out the garbage. So our bins outside were full from the beginning.That was the only snag. I had to wait until dusk and sneak my garbage bag into the neighbors' cans. ha ha nobody saw me.
