                            My wife and I, along with 3 other couple and their kids, spent the week here and we absolutely loved it! The house...the property...the location...it was all perfect. We are definitely making this an annual trip and we will definitely be staying at this location again. Thanks!

                            My husband, friends and I all had an amazing weekend at this home. The pictures don't do it justice. The house is amazing, spacious and very well kept. The location is breathtaking. Mary is an absolute delight to work with. She is fast at responded to emails and is very kind. This house is no only good for couples and friends, but I can imagine it would be wonderful for family reunions, family vacations and so much more! Thank you for the WONDERFUL place to stay Mary and company and I look forward to renting again!

                            "A River Runs Through It" exceeded my expectations. It was everything advertised and more. We filled the house but also had a sense of privacy as the bedrooms are not all in one area. The little boys had fun catching crawdads in the creek and then tossing them back and them doing it again the next day. It is close to several beaches which we enjoyed with our boat. The kitchen was wonderful and had everything we wanted and space to store the food we brought. Our meals were served buffet style in the dining room and then taken outdoors to enjoy the beautiful weather and wooded yard. There was plenty of room with the extra tables and chairs provided. What a wonderful place to celebrate our 50th Anniversary / Family Reunion. I look forward to staying here again.

                            What a fantastic 50th Wedding Anniversary Celebration we had. The best description of this house is simply---"WOW". Everything you could possible want. Very spacious. We were only 14, but not once did we "bump into" each other. I definitely would return with my family. I would certainly recommend "A River Runs Through It" to anyone seeking relaxation, serenity, and a great place to enjoy the company of family and/or friends. Exceeded all expectations.

                            Our Bible Study group really enjoyed this place. There were adequate rooms for both the couples and singles and big rooms for our large gatherings. No wait for the bathrooms as there are 4 of them, with 3 or 4 people sharing each one. The location is good at the end of the street. The kitchen was impressive with granite countertops and modern appliances. We'll recommend the house to our friends and family. Our group might come back next year to this memorable place where we held our first annual retreat. This house was a blessing to us. To all, peace and joy!

                            This property has all the amenities you need to feel perfectly at home. The kitchen is stocked with high quality pots, pans, utensils, etc. and all of the bedrooms are very comfortable. The kids loved the Wii and the large snow play area in the yard. The owner is very accommodating and ethical. I highly recommend this property.

                            I just returned from a weekend trip to Tahoe with a large group of couples and friends. We had been returning to the same rental in the Tahoe Keys every year for the past 7 years but decided it was time for an upgrade. Mainly more private rooms and full bathrooms. When I found this 7BR+ (and it really is plus as there is a bonus room with a queen futon and a bonus living room area downstairs where a couple extras could stay) and saw that it had 4 full bathrooms I was sold. Aside from the very attractive and useful layout the property is absoutely beautiful. Seemingly newly remodeled (kitchens and bathrooms in particular), well maintained and tastefully decorated. Not one of those mountain cabins that has cheesy "mountain theme" stuff cluttered everywhere just for the sake of it. A very pleasant home to visit. The house feels so spacious and allows a large group to all hang out together in the expansive downstairs great room and open kitchen and dining room or to separate into individual comfortable private bedrooms, etc throughout the house. The property is at the end of the street so in addition to the wonderful views of the river and meadow you also feel like you are in your own little world (while still being in the middle of everything) and have privacy from neighbors. And the parking! There is so much off street parking which is such a bonus for visiting Tahoe in the winter. I only hate to give such a glowing review only because I selfishly want to keep this gem secret for myself and my friends. If word gets out what an amazing property, in an amazing location, and an amazing bank for your buck price, I am afraid it will get booked solid through the winter and we won't be able to squeeze in. We are in love with this property and can't wait to come back next year and for many years to come for our annual Tahoe trip. And last, but certainly not least, Mary, the owner was such a pleasure to deal with. So prompt, helpful, and friendly with her emails. And very quick to send back our security deposit after we checked out (received it within a couple days!). Thanks again Mary. We had a wonderful time.

                            Our ski group of adults and elementary-aged kids loved this house! We've been coming to Lake Tahoe for several years and have rented a number of properties on the north shore of the lake. This was our first venture to the south shore. This house is one of the best we've seen -- no hyperbole! Very well appointed, well maintained with a great location. We loved the wrap-around porch and the lovely view of the meadow from the living room. Plenty of parking and a nice back yard where we had a rousing game of football in the snow! Mary is very easy to work with and responds promptly to email and phone. Highly recommended.

                            We just returned from an outstanding 4 night stay at "A river Runs Through It". There were 16 of us in Tahoe for my niece's wedding and this house was perfect. The location is secluded from the other homes in the area but still close to everything.There was a large grass area for the kids to run around and throw around a football Everything we needed was there including an extra refrigerator, washer and dryer and a great hot tub. We had the opportunity to meet Mary and she was wonderful to work with....The property Managers were also fabulous. We have stayed in a lot of vacation rentals and this was one of the best! I think one of my favorite things is the way it was set up, the kids played Wii while the adults had their own space, they also loved the bunk room upstairs with its own bathroom. It was so clean and neat and well maintained, the decor was modern and tasteful and it had no personal clutter like some rentals do, we felt like we were at our own luxury home and not someone elses.....

                            This home is the perfect venue for a relaxing getaway. It provides both the ability to be together as a group or enjoy some alone time. There's a great kitchen with plenty of dishes and silverware, as well as nice, large pots, pans, baking ware, and big serving platters and bowls. The extra refrigerator/freezer was very useful. Outdoor cooking was a breeze on the gas BBQ with all tools provided. We enjoyed the wrap-around porch overlooking the lawn, river and meadow. Wonderful bird watching and one evening some bears crossed the lawn to drink from the river. Nice bathrooms with abundant thick towels. Comfortable beds and plenty of cozy sitting areas. Very private feeling since the house is at the end of the street, yet only minutes to the clubs. We enjoyed walking to the lake each day.The caretakers were friendly and responsive. This is a clean, well appointed, well maintained home that I would recommend to anyone.

                            Recommended for: Families with teenagers, adventure seekers, age 55+, romantic getaway, girls getaway, sightseeing, families with young children.

                          Year Purchased: 2007

                          About the owner: My husband Dave and I along with our very good friends and co-owners Don and Joyce live in beautiful Santa Cruz California. We have 2 grown children and one grandchild and Don and Joyce have 3 grown children. We all feel very fortunate that all our children also call Santa Cruz home! Thank you for considering our Tahoe home!!

                          Why the Owner Chose Other South Lake Tahoe Properties:
                          We chose Tahoe as our vacation home destination because it was a place where my husband has many childhood memories. Prior to purchasing this home, we found ourselves renting other homes around the lake every summer. It had always been a dream of ours to own a home in Tahoe and we couldn't be more fortunate to have found this home. Our friends Don & Joyce just happened to be in Tahoe on the same weekend we were when we came across it on it's first day on the market. Meant to be!

                          The Unique Benefits at this House:
                          Our home is the perfect home for family reunions and the gathering of friends who may want to spend their vacations together. Our property is very unique because it sits on 3/4 of an acre and is the largest parcel in the whole neighborhood. Located right on the creek overlooking an expansive meadow, it has views beyond compare. So many times our renters have commented to us that the pictures, as pretty as they are on our website, don't even compare to when you actually see it in person.
