A well-appointed gem in tranquil Tahoe

We had a wonderful stay for a recent hockey tournament. This property ticked all the boxes, a quick drive to Tahoe amenities and stores but the hiking trail and green space made for a very peaceful stay. Everything we could have possibly needed was waiting for our convenience including serving bowls, cookie cutters, fans and all of the comforts of home. We would definitely choose this property again.

Great place to stay!

We had a group of 7 adults that came to ski and snowboard, and the house was great! The beds and couches were comfortable, the kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked, and the property was well maintained. We enjoyed our stay!

Great time with our kids and grandkids. Cabin was perfect for the kids. It backed up to a forest and made it easy for them to play in the snow.

Nice Family get away

Over all our experience at this home was great. The home met all of our needs. We visited during a late winter storm and the property was warm and cozy. We had a minor issue with a room and it was addressed immediately. We would stay here again in the future. There are a lot of rules for this neighborhood, but once you understand them it’s not to over bearing.

Great family vacation home

Great location. Off the main roads and hiking trails right outside the door. Great layout for a large group and well stocked. Takes 7 minutes to get to the strip so everything is close by. Would definitely recommend this house for a large gathering.

Easy check in and good location, not too far from stores or any of the Tahoe attractions. Accommodated our family very comfortably! Lots of toys for kiddos, decent amount pantry & kitchen utensils and some nice amenities; the grill, hot tub, trail access etc. The noise ordinance in the late evening (my family can get a little rowdy while playing games) & car limit were a little tricky at times but I understand those are vacation rental rules in general in the area. The house was a little dated & showed signs of wear and tear. The only true issue we had with the property was the cleanliness. The linens and kitchen were in good shape, but the bathrooms and carpet were not. The home has a “no shoes on carpet” policy that I’m assuming previous guest did not adhere too or housekeeping missed vacuuming because our feet were basically black after the first half hour of unloading & setting up our stay. The bathrooms had random dirt & undetermined stains on the counter and tile in the master as well as the downstairs bath shared by two rooms. Overall we enjoyed our stay! I’m sure the cleaning issue was a one off considering other reviews didn’t mention this issue. Would definitely recommend for families.

Wonderful, spacious home

Enjoyed our family’s time away in this spacious home. Location was phenomenal for quick access to snow - backyard opens right up to forest land! Quiet with friendly neighbors. Prompt and professional communication with property management. We would love to come back and have shared our positive experience with friends.

Exactly as described

Quiet family neighborhood. Spacious home with good beds, nice bathrooms, showers, all very clean. Management was very attentive. Enjoyed the gas log fireplace. We used the kitchen a great deal and found everything we needed for making meals. We also enjoyed the hot tub outside. The backyard setting for the hot tub was wooded and serene.

Great Spot!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Worked great for our family! We had 4 children under 6yrs and they loved the house, bunk beds, toys and hot tub! Would have been nice to have some beach toys, chairs and umbrella.Dishwasher is a little hard to pull out the rack. But other than that it was well stocked with everything we needed. Fun tie for all!

Beautiful place to stay

Overall had a great time. Clean, roomy, comfortable. No real issues with the property. Made a request for a better large skillet (Teflon was peeling off) and two were on the porch when we returned from our outing. Only suggestion would be to put a dvd player with the upstairs tv as well.

Great for families

We came as a group over MLK weekend. Home was as advertised in the VRBO listing. There was a snow storm during the weekend I was there so it was nice that there was a large backyard so the kids can play in the snow. There are a lot of amenities there and and I didn’t need to bring a lot of the things I brought, but oh well. Most of the time, these rentals are bare. Plenty of space for everyone and it was pretty clean.

Decent location but Outdated property

We stayed at this property for Memorial Day weekend in 2022. Location is good, trail starts just around the corner. This is a big property but is very outdated with lot of missing amenities. Also hot tub is very small. Many of the restrooms don’t lock properly as well as beds are not super comfortable. A lot can be improved
