Great views, lovely stay in early spring
Overall, we all enjoyed the wonderful views for a relaxing early spring getaway. Loved being right on the lake. Some mornings, the water was so calm it was like a mirror, but usually the wind would pick up in the afternoon. The kitchen is nice and modern with an induction stovetop and plenty of pans and pots. Our middle school aged child loved having access to the lake and pulled out rocks despite the cold water temperatures. Friendly neighborhood as well.

Beautiful View - But Bad Otherwise
If you could live outside then this place has an amazing view but unfortunately the house has no air flow, is very cut up and a horrible green carpet throughout. The down stairs bathroom was not functioning. Hard to be comfortable here unless your outside.

The location is beautiful, the house could have been cleaner & could have included more amenities like an extra set of towels or Kleenex.

Beautiful view! Great kitchen for cooking family meals.
Unfortunately there was dog poop and cigarette butts covering the deck and back yard (that got worse as the snow melted and revealed at least 50 poops) and dog hair in the house. I recommend cleaning the yard and deck more thoroughly.
The knob on the master bedroom shower kept falling off. The large painting in the entry hall has fallen off the wall. The steps leading to the house were covered in ice making it extremely slippery/dangerous.

amazing view, cozy house
This is a great house if you’re looking for a fantastic view and a comfortable house. We had 3 couples for 3 nights. The kitchen is very well appointed, pretty much everything you need.the beds are comfortable. It’s close to two towns. We had one problem with the stove and the rental management company (Tahoe Vacation Rentals, I think) was exceptionally responsive, in fact they were amazing from the first email exchange, answering questions. My only wish is that you could easily hit some walking trails in the woods and/or walk along the waters edge. We walked the neighborhood which was also nice but not the same. The house has a lot of little extras…books, games, chess, and very nice wine glasses. We would definitely come back.
