Reviewer Comments:
Large home with great layout and near perfect location for both ski and sun. Our vacation was made even better by great communication from the property manager and when something small did not work (the only thing that broke during our two month stay) it was handled immediately with a follow up call after it was fixed. It really was the perfect winter getaway for 4 families.

I was extremely happy with this rental. The property was in great shape and well maintained. The rental house is well suited to entertain and is an excellent location near the beach and bars/restaurants. The pictures accurately depict the condition of the property, and it has a nice (partial) view of the lake.

My experience at the Famous Cabin in South Lake Tahoe was awesome. The cabin itself was nice, upstairs had nice big window for good lake view. Overall clean cabin. Got to stay near the Lake and the Shops. Easy access to entertainment without having to drive your vehicle. The best part was convenience on location.

My husband and I decided to extend our Reno business trip and checkOut Lake Tahoe. We found this home on Birbnb and fell in love with the details. Upon our easy check in we found the home to be as beautiful as the photo’s portrayed. Home was beautiful and clean. The lines were soft and clean. Location was perfect for all out tourist activities. Would recommend to families and couples alike.
