Great quick and easy place to stay

Enough room for 6 with kids, easy in and out. Close to plenty of things to do at a reasonable price for the area. Plenty of house hold items to use, just like being at your home for Tahoe. Will definitely stay here again. A little outdated but well worth the stay! Way, way better then staying at a hotel in the area for sure!

Nice place!

Unit was comfortable and cozy. Granlibakken is nice and laid back for families wanting to relax. Couple of small issues (WiFi network changed, pool access card didn’t work) got addressed quickly by Vacasa/host. Overall, great base for a few days in Tahoe.

Needs updating but overall good place

Overall the location is perfect and the unit satisfied our needs for the 2 nights however the place needs some serious renovating. Electrical cords everywhere, couldn’t figure out how to use the TV, fireplace, oven is so outdated it would not heat for a solid hour to make my kids pizza. A bit over priced for what the place offers but it did the job

Needs a few small fixes but overall good!

If the AC was working/fire alarm had efficient battery, we would have enjoyed our stay much more. Overall it was a good place in a great location! Quiet at night, a bit dated interior but cozy overall.

Return Visit

This was our second visit to 18A. We love this compact resident for our short getaways from home (2 hrs). It’s clean, comfortable and just the right amount of space for me and husband. We look forward to our next visit in the spring.

quiet getaway

Ready when we got there- clean- few spots on rug- COZY- plenty big enough for the 2 of us. Kitchen nice and well stocked with essentials Only complaint is no firewood, even though we contacted vrbo and that is the main reason I booked this one so we could snuggle in front of the fire.

Not what is advertised

- The pull out bed was broken and management knew it was because there was one already ordered. - Non working phone and Alexa. - Dirty tissue behind a nightstand. - Non working food processor sink. - Non working TV. The list goes on. The property and location were great but the place was not what was advertised. I am waiting to get my money back.

Ok

Check-in process created problems. Vacasa texted that the booking was confirmed days ahead, then only a free hours before checking texted from a different number that my identity needed to be verified or the booking wouldn’t be confirmed. The second text didn’t give any specifics about the reservation and seemed like phishing, but it was real and delayed our check in significantly. Only gave us one pool towel. Bar stools and carpets stained on arrival. Generally liked the area but in October seemed like the resort was minimally operating for big resort fees. Nice to have full kitchen abilities. Dishwasher is loudest I’ve ever heard though. No checkout instructions given.

Ok Experience

The property itself was fine and in a cute, quiet community, but a lot of little things that were off about the studio added up. It's a little bit dated, and my partner who never gets allergies was dealing with sneezing, coughing, and congestion each morning when we woke up. The small heater in the corner took about 24 hours to heat to a comfortable temperature. The extra fees we were charged on completing the booking added almost $300 to the final price for a four night stay. The kitchen sink sprays everywhere when turned on. I tried contacting Vacasa with a question about the fireplace. A laminated note said that reception would provide one log a day for the fire place. We never got any logs, and I contacted Vacasa on who to ask, and they never responded. The booking site says that the community reception doens't service the studio, but notes around the apartment said to contact them in case of problems. It was unclear whether the reception serviced our studio or whether only Vacasa could help, but Vacasa never got back to me to answer my question. None of those things were huge issues to us, but all together they made for a so-so experience overall.

Could be better

Pros: large heated pool & hot tubes, propery in the woods, not far from Tahoe city.Cons: decay odor in the suite, very old torn blankets, no mosquito door to the balcony, noises from the Granlibakken restaurant till midnight.

Perfect spot in Tahoe city

The coziest most naturally lit studio apartment in Tahoe. We loved our stay. Only thing is WiFi was completely out the entire time we were there.
