A fabulous place for a family getaway

This place checked all the boxes for us, plus more! It had plenty of room for the four families, the snowy backyard was a winter wonderland for the 4 kids in tow, the kitchen had great space for cooking and conversation, and the living room was a cozy gathering spot. It’s a short drive to a local Safeway for groceries. And, when a heating issue popped up, the Tahoe Rental Company, the rental property management team were courteous, professional and quick to come out with a fix. It was a fantastic experience!

Lucky to have found this

This property was big enough to fit our big group. It has everything you need. I believe I was the first traveler in VRBO so I would suggest to put basics like oil, shampoo and soap. Other than that, what a fantastic place, we kept of playing all the games we found at the house. Thanks for your hospitality!

Perfect location

This place is perfectly located by all you’ll need to have a great stay in Tahoe. We loved that everyone had their own bedroom and bathroom. The beds were so comfy everyone commented on how well we slept and how cozy the feeling was. The place is not updated but it is clean and well laid out. Really didn’t need anything more. It had fans, ac, heat, fire. Washer dryer in case you need a quick wash. Best of all we easily Parked our boat in the front. Great overall, plan on coming again.

Great Tahoe hideaway

This home has a relaxing cabin feel on a beautiful property, is spacious, and has many amenities. The only disappointment was the backyard patio set and chairs were still locked up for winter. We were there over Mother’s Day weekend, it was warm, and we would have enjoyed it. Thanks for a great stay!

Mom's Christmas Wish

It was my wish to have everyone together for the holidays but that is harder as adult children take on partners with families they also want to spend time with so we picked two weeks before the holiday for the kids, their partners and dogs to stay with us and my mom (85) who moved in last March. Igloo Alley was perfect. Everyone had their own bedroom and bathroom, the three who had to work found quiet corners to be productive, the kitchen was well stocked so we cooked nearly every day and even continued our 30+ year holiday cookie painting party. We walked to town or to groceries effortlessly and watched holiday movies and listened to Christmas carols while enjoying the beautiful view. This house gave me my Christmas wish early. Thank you. We will all be back.

Great location and backyard

We spent the first week of October at Igloo Alley. We were really pleased with the location; it is only a 10 minute walk to all the shops and restaurants of Tahoe City. In addition, it backs up to the Tahoe City Golf Course and you have a small area of trees that open up to provide a view of the Lake. The backyard is huge with a two large decks, plenty of chairs and tables to enjoy being outdoors. Our dog loved the property with all the trees and green grass. There was a neighborhood black and white dog which like to come around and relieve itself in the yard, which was a bit upsetting to our dog, but otherwise she loved all the birds and squirrels running about. The house itself is very comfortable and quaint. It has plenty of seating in the living room and dining room so that everyone can hang out together. The kitchen was well-equipped with two coffee pots (Mr. Coffee and Keurig), as well as an electric tea kettle. The stove, oven and microwave worked great. The beds that we used were all very comfortable and the bathrooms were clean and well-lit. This would be a great location for a larger family to stay and feel comfortable together, but also have plenty of privacy as well. There is a cemetery two-doors down, which is very fascinating to inspect. It appears that the original owners are buried there, nearest to the golf course with some other family members. They must have been very involved with the community before their passing. I would definitely recommend this very nice home to anyone interested in being away from the hustle and bustle of a resort, but close enough to town to enjoy all the amenities it has to offer.

Centrally located and wonderful single story, dog friendly house

What a great experience. The house is wonderfully apportioned, with a great new 5 burner gas stove. It may seem dated but it’s cute and clean. The house is large with notes where you need it and it was plowed and snow blown as quickly after a storm as possible so you are always able to get out in your car. There’s a gas fireplace, a two slot toaster (wide enough for bagels), keurig coffee maker as well as a flat bottom 12 cup Mr. Coffee, two freezers and some basic supplies. It’s all on a single story so safer for kids and grandparents. It overlooks a golf course that used to be a natural meadow which grew grasses for the animals that worked in the area over 200 years ago. This house and the family that still owns it have history in Tahoe City. it’s a beaut. It is dated but it just lends character to the house. It’s warm with a gas fireplace. There’s a DVD player, a record player, and WiFi. TLDR; perfect family getaway or just go with friends. Walking distance to both the stores at Tahoe City and the Tahoe Rim trail. I’ll be coming back! Thanks!
