Great house for a Palisades weekend!

This house was perfect for our annual ski weekend with friends. The 5 of us easily fit in the main house with a separate room for everyone and the game room over the garage was a major bonus. The hosts were great and made check in and out very easy. Would definitely stay here again.

Serene retreat

The listing said that there were 2 bedrooms with queen beds. The one bedroom next to the hall bathroom was only a double bed so that was our disappointment. Hard for two adults to sleep in a double bed. My recommendation would be to change the listing or buy a queen beds for that room. The house was great other than that!! Plenty of room for all and very great place for family to gather. It is a beautiful home. Love all the sunny rooms and lots of beautiful windows.

The Place to Be with the Family

Four generations came together and had a beautiful vacation at the Serene Retreat in Tahoe City. The front yard served as a wonderful place to watch the kids play, areas for adults to sit and play bocci ball and cornhole. All the rooms were clean and very comfortable. Enjoyed our days at the beach (short drive) and rafting on the Truckee River. The deck off the living room provided a beautiful place for morning coffee and watching the sunrise. There was enough room for everyone to gather or to be alone. We definitely felt like we were at home away from home.

Serene Retreat was a great location and comfy place to stay. Generally equipped very well, TV’s Sono’s system, games room. It is a little “rental tired” with things looking worn, frying pans, knives etc old and average cleaning service.

Our annual generational vacation. This year's location, Tahoe.

Great location. Plenty of room. Enjoyed the game room. It was nice to have a paddle board and double water ring to use. We took a lot of our own equipment but appreciated having extra to supplement. Good location for the beaches west of Tahoe city. We particularly love Sand Harbor beach on the northeast corner of Tahoe where our family has spent many summers. The garbage bin was already full when we arrived but this was quickly addressed by the rental agency.
