Lovely lake stay

Beautiful location on Lake Tahoe! The kitchen is well stocked with dishes, utensils, cooking supplies, and more - made it really easy to stay in and enjoy the lake. Good living spaces to chill. We enjoyed our stay and look forward to a return to the area.

This home was perfect

From the moment I pulled in the drive I knew we’d made a good decision to stay at the Run-About. Truly and outstanding property. It was hands down the cleanest VRBO I’ve ever stayed in. The views and sounds from the deck are so much better than the pictures can convey. Outstanding home!

Amazing stay!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were so happy with our stay at Runabout Lake House in Cedar Flat! The house was impeccable and well stocked. The location is exactly what you are looking for in Lake Tahoe--right on the lake with your own dock, close to a few restaurants and grocery stores, and has great views of the lake from every room. We are already looking for a summer date to book at the same house.

Beautiful, up-close lake views and beach

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is about as close as you can get to the lake. Steps from the shore and dock, with beautiful and unobstructed morning, evening, and all day views of Lake Tahoe. Great location, about five minutes from Tahoe City, and restaurants / grocery going the other direction as well. Great house, clean, up-to-date, with really nice great room, sitting room / den, and one of the bedrooms a cozy upstairs one. Thank you for the great house.

Better Than Advertised!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was beautiful and well stocked. There was plenty of room for our party of six adults with two separate sitting areas so we could spread out a little. The deck and the lower seating area were fantastic, such a great place for coffee, drinks or just hanging out. The pictures don't really do the view of the lake justice, it's pretty magnificent.We hated to leave this property and would definitely stay here again - thanks!
