  This house is great. I would certainly rent it again. It has everything you need and so convenient to all the fun stuff around. We had a large party of 16 (8 kids) and it worked out perfect! My sister in law brought her dog. I was worried because it was pet friendly there would be animal smell but the house did not smell of animals, so that was good. The house was very clean upon arrival. The mud room however is not a good place to consider sleeping in, but a perfect place for a mudroom. It made the whole experience easier for access to the snow and the kids being able to "gear up" and play in the back, then "gear down" and get comfy in the house again. Just perfect!! The owner has supplied the house with snow shoes which are great for the adults so we don't struggle in the snow,.allowing us to run around with the kids in back. I must say we were very fortunate when we went because there was a very solid base of snow and pure sun with a cold front so everything was ideal, weather wise. I would certainly recommend this to anyone and I would definitely rent this house again. The only "knock", and not a big deal, was low water pressure. Upstairs shower dribbles if someone flushes toilet, etc but that's really minor as the pressure comes back on shortly. The water was always hot, they must have a tankless water heater, no problem with hot water at all.

  Amazing place to rent, even in the Spring! Ton of hiking, rock climbing, and they even have an outdoor off-road golf course! My friends and I loved the place, it was super clean upon arrival, and the beds were made. The house was large and can accommodate a great number of people! We even have spare beds after everyone claimed one. The game room downstairs was probably one of the best parts of the house, gave us a great deal of fun while we killed the downtime of everyone getting ready to go out. A great place for kids and adults! The kitchen was very well spaced out which allowed us to have 4 people working on food at once, and the two decks were amazing to eat, talk, and just unwind from our daily lives. Def. a great place to rent!

  WE ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS PLACE! The owners were so helpful and accommodating. The house is just so beautiful. Everyone in our group, adults and kids were so impressed with the house, the décor, the kitchen/living room, bedrooms and plenty of bathrooms. Everything was just perfect for our family. Everyone had such a wonderful time including our dogs. The kids especially had so much fun. They just loved the big room downstairs where they got to play pool, ping-pong and board games and watch their shows on their own seperate TV while the adults watched movies upstairs on the huge flatscreen TV. The kids even mentioned that the closet behind the bathroom kind of reminded them of the closet in “Chronicles of Narnia”, so they got a kick out of that haha. They also had so much fun playing in the snow and building a snow man on the front deck and the big kids enjoyed their snowball fights too. Overall, it was such a great and memorable experience for everybody and we’re just sad that it was too short. Our family tries to do an annual ski/snow trip every year so hopefully we can stay in your home again next year! I highly recommend this vacation home to pretty much anyone, especially great for large groups. You really get your money's worth with this place.

  The cabin was wonderful. Everything was very nice and well stocked- even more than you would expect. The pictures are nice but it's even better in person. There were ten of us and there was plenty of room for even more to fit. The kids loved having their own room downstairs with the pool table. The beds are so comfortable! Having four bathrooms was so terrific. Plenty of hot water! It was great to be so close to the ski resorts. Our family really enjoyed our week!

  My family and friends thoroughly enjoyed staying at the house during our recent holiday weekend in Tahoe. The property is very conveniently located near Soda Springs family park and major ski resorts. Property is quite spacious, with plenty of room for families to spread out. All of the amenities were provided, which allowed us to spend more time doing outdoor activities instead of heading out to a market for little things. The owner of the house was very prompt and helpful with any questions that I had. The pride of ownership is reflected in the house as well as in my interactions with the owner. My family and friends look forward to returning for summer activities in the Tahoe area, preferably staying at this property again if it's available.

  We rented this beautiful home for my son's 18th birthday weekend. We had 6 teenagers along and it was the perfect place for the kids and the adults. The downstairs was great for the teenagers and gave them space while the upstairs was nice and quiet for the adults. It was convenient to Soda Springs for tubing and Sugar Bowl for skiing. The home is well equipped for all your needs and we look forward to going back again in the future. All of my son's guests let me know this was the most awesome place and hope I bring them back too!! I highly recommend this wonderful home.

  Just brought a group of nine Cadette Girl Scouts on a ski trip and we stayed at this wonderful house. It was perfecty set up for the 12-year olds to stay in the very large downstairs room and for the parents that went to stay in the upstairs rooms. The house was very easy to get to on a very snowy day - the turn off is before you get to the summit. Plenty of parking, beautiful house with tons of fun decorations. The owners very helpful and available by phone when we had questions. The girls had a blast and can't wait to go back again next year. I highly recommend this house for your group.

  We had a fantastic time! The kids loved playing in the snow. Soda Springs has a nice inexpensive package for kids. We all really loved the house. We were three families of five each and there was plenty of room for all of us. Most of the kids were pretty young (the oldest was 7) but there was room for them to play and plenty of activities to keep us all entertained. All three of our families want to come back.

  I have to say that our experience at this house was one of my best ever Tahoe stays. We joined two other families, so there were six adults and six little kids. The house was super clean and well stocked (blankets, pillows, towels...) The beds were all made up beautifully and at least ours was very comfortable. The downstairs "game room" provided a great space for the kids and therefore a great reprieve for the adults. There were sleds and snowshoes available in the garage, which we used. What separates this house from the many I've stayed in was the attention to detail the owner clearly takes pride in. We'd stay again in a heartbeat! P.S. Only downside was a train that would pass by about 1/4 mile away in the night. The first night it woke up the adults, but by night three we were all sleeping through it.

  My friends and I, a group of Masters and PhD students at UC Berkeley, rented out this house for a weekend in November. The house was fantastic for a quick getaway from our hectic graduate school lives. It had everything we needed to cook for and comfortably sleep 19 people. The house also came with a pool table, an excellent stereo, a ping-pong table, and many other games and such to keep us entertained. We found both the front and back decks very relaxing as well. In addition, great hiking trails are less than 2 miles away. We can't wait to come back again once skiing season starts. I would definitely recommend this house to anyone, particularly people looking for an affordable house large enough to sleep lots of people. Oh, and finally, the owners are extremely friendly and responsive. We can't wait to go back again.
