This property was a stunner. great views plus easy trip to the ski resorts and casinos....what else do you need? George the owner was easy to deal with. My family will rent this place out twice a year...summer and winter. Great deal.

Owner response:Thanks for the kind words. One clarification though - we don't allow pets. Certain family members have alergies.

Recommended for:Romantic getaway, tourists without a car, people with disabilities, sightseeing, pet owners, adventure seekers, girls getaway, age 55+, families with young children, families with teenagers.

Perfect winter getaway: incredible views, skiing!

George's Tahoe vacation home is perfect for a winter getaway with family or friends! His mountain home truly exceeded our expectations! The views are surreal, the home is spacious, and the location is ideal. The home boasts a great floor plan for groups or families alike, with high ceilings, a nice kitchen, and large open living/dining room. The bedrooms, den with sleeping options, and bathroom arrangement works well for groups. We easily parked two cars in the garage and one in the driveway. Every room is thoughtfully appointed, well maintained, and better than described in the listing. It's clear that the owners have experience with renters and pay attention to their feedback. (Our only gripe was that we ran out of toilet paper very quickly, but thankfully the store was nearby.) I rented this home for my group of 12 (some couples, some singles) over New Years. We enjoyed our time skiing, snowmobiling, hiking, taking pictures by the lake, relaxing in the hot tub, warming our feet by the fireplace, cooking, playing games, and visiting the main drag by the casinos. There are so many photo ops just on the deck; sunrise, day, and sunset all provided beautiful pictures overlooking the snowy mountains, forest and lake. George's vacation home is conducive to and convenient for all of these activities -- and I'm sure more if we weren't so worn out! As mentioned, this home is in an excellent location. Our only hiccup was reaching it without suitable snow chains for our tires in the winter. We weren't anticipating the steeper snowy roads in the neighborhood, so we had to buy snow chains for our rental cars and then learn how to put them on. (But this is from the perspective of Texans and Arizonans who never drive in snow.) With all this commotion, the night grew closer and one of our cars had a hard time reading the neighborhood road signs at night to get to the house. Fortunately, cell phone coverage is good in the area, so all was straightened out easily. Thinking back, I know George's documents warned us of the snowy driving conditions and the neighborhood road sign visibility at night, so it was our fault we weren't prepared! George was very helpful with booking our stay, and he was easy to contact by phone and email. He answered all of our questions thoughtfully and was always available to chat about the Tahoe area. The property manager in Tahoe was also professional and helpful. I would highly recommend this home to all of my friends and family

Owner response:Glad your group had a great tiime! As discussed, 4 wheel drive vehicles always recomended in the winter anywhere in Tahoe. George

This was the second time my group has rented this beautiful cabin and it never disappoints! The pictures are very true to what the house looks like and it is very spacious. The views from the living room are spectacular. My friends and I rented this cabin for a snowboarding trip and it is great place to go for the snow. George, the owner, is very professional and very easy to work with. We will definitely be coming back again!

Large, well appointed home - perfect for a family gathering. Property was spotless and as advertised. Owner was great to work with. View from decks and hot tub were fabulous. Total feeling of privacy - yet just minutes from town. Will definitely return and highly recommend!
