The house was perfect for our family. Perfect yard for the grandkids to play and the access to the pool was so nice. We have been vacationing in Truckee for years and will for sure come back to stay at this house.

Snow Much Fun!
We brought our young grandchildren to experience some snow play.
The house was very accommodating and we just walked out back to make a snow run for them to sled on…no car travel!

Not What We Bargained For
No Firewood
Power Outage - 8 hours, no heat, no hot water, no way to cook food
Trash Cans Full - had to take garbage home with us due to property managers statement of charge for leaving trash behind
Something is living in the attic / space between the roof and ceiling above the master bedroom, scratching and clawing starting as early as 5:00am every morning

Perfect for family gathering
We spent a long weekend with our daughters and their families in Bearfoot Lodge. It is definitely the best house in Tahoe that we have rented. The layout was perfect for the variety of ages we had. Everyone was able to find a spot to relax or play games and not feel like we were on top of each other. The kitchen is exceptionally well stocked and roomy enough for several people to be cooking at once. We will definitely return to this home.

Thanksgiving get away
Two families from our extended family shared this house and there was plenty of space. The layout of the bedrooms is a little funky but we made it work. The downstairs living space is really nice for a large group to hang out together. The kitchen is well stocked. We cooked Thanksgiving dinner there. The double ovens are a nice touch. There’s plenty of seating for a large amount of people. The backyard was covered in snow when we were there and it was so fun! The yard is flat and then has a small hill down to a meadow so the kids built a sled run off the back of the property and the smaller kids built a snowman. The dogs ran in the snow. There aren’t any other houses behind the property so it makes for a private feel.
The only suggestion is more blankets and pillows!! It might not matter as much during the summer but in the winter this is a must!

Everything was great and met our expectations. The only issue was the trash cans in the bear bin were full upon our arrival from the previous guest.
