Good Location & Communication

This property is older & a bit quirky. There are no small plates or teaspoons in the kitchen & the coffee pot takes an hour to make 8 cups of coffee. The location was good for our stay & access to Everline for wedding events. The communication with our host was very good.

The location definitely made this unit

The location definitely made this unit. The bakery nearby was delicious and a great price and we got to watch bears roam around on occasion. Kitchen was decently stocked and the bbq worked great. The only qualms I have found were that the bunks ladder was especially unstable making the whole bed unstable but we just ended up not sleeping in it. The bikes were also unusable but that didn't bother us either. The internet did cut out multiple times but usually around 2-3 AM so we weren't that bothered. Overall I would 100% stay here again.

The location is perfect!

The location is perfect! This is a perfect well kept budget place for your average stay, specially if you plan to be out most of the time, but it's also comfortable and cozy when you come home from hikes or slopes to rest and hang out. The fireplace is a very nice add on! Very close to town, ski resorts and there's a beach access within walking distance. My only complaint was the lack of wine glasses and I would suggest the hosts to leave a windshield scraper available for guests. Other than that, everything was perfect and I would definitely rent again!

Great Summer Family trip

It was great to have the pool and a close beach in Tahoe City to enjoy. There was just enough room for 4 adults and 3 children. It was cozy....I thought it was going to be bigger (the pictures make it look bigger). It was nice to eat breakfast and dinners together. We were at the beach for lunch time. Easy check-in. The beach is not walking distance (not with kids) and was secluded. You can drive to Tahoe City main beach and that was great for kids. We did see a bear at the beach (stay away from bears!) Overall it was a memorable family trip. Thank you

Looks good in the photos

This property delivered with regard to the photos and layout of the house. No surprises and it's furnished nicely for up to six people. The house is a short walk to the lake and would be an amazing place for a summer getaway. Even for families all staying in the area. But, and it's a big BUT - the house was dirty when we arrived. Dirty dishes put away in cupboards, dirty spoons in drawers, dirty kitchen countertops, nightstands had not been wiped down, bathroom rugs not washed. The carpets were dirty. During COVID there is supposed to be heightened attention to this. In addition to the cleanliness issue, the kitchen wasn't ready for a week-long booking; 1/2 roll of paper towel, two coffee filters, no foil or plastic wrap, no real wine glasses. Three times during the stay I reached out to the owner, twice with photos. No response. We've been renting on VRBO for over 12 years and this is a first. I will also share that once I booked the property all communication took place offline through the "owners" property vacation management platform. No response there either. Sadly, we would not return.

Just wanted to be honest

I really wanted this resolved before I wrote this review. We chose this property because it stated there was Air conditioning in the unit. This was not the case. There is no air condition as stated. My husband and I with 4 of our 5 kids needed to get out of our Covid funk. We were super excited to stay in a home away from home. It states sleeps 10 but I it would be a tight fit. The room that has the bunk beds and a queen was tiny. The Twin bed moved so much that my 12 year old did not feel safe enough to sleep on it. I can't imagine having adults sleep in this room. There were several fixtures in all the rooms that were either laying on the floor and or did not work. The floor vents in the kitchen were NOT secure and I stepped in several times during our stay. The fans in the room had not been cleaned for some time. Be prepared to only have 1 towel per guest and we were left only 3 beach towels. The website also states there were two parking spots. Really there is 1 and a half. But on all documentation it states that if you park over the line you will be fined. **** I went to VRBO because this property is listed twice. One states sleeps 8 the other sleeps 10. Several other amenities are differently listed as well. ******
