We have stayed in the Skyland home for approximately five or six years every summer for a week with our children and grandchildren. The home is set up for a great vacation. Plenty of room for everyone. We love Lake Tahoe, the private beach for use by quest only, the neighborhood that the home is in, plus the home is wonderful for us. The owners have been very gracious to us and we plan on spending many more summers in their home. If we call them for anything they attend to it promptly.
Owner response:Hi Ben, We have so looked forward to your visit every year. I thank you for your kind words. Hope the rest of your summer is wonderful.

Property needs upgrading. The carpets are old. The dinning chairs old and rickety. The garage was not available though the listing description made it seem that it was. The best feature was the living room and the kitchen. The BBQ propane was less than half full. The bathrooms didn't have soap bars. There was no linen for the sofa beds. I would not stay at this prop. ever again.
Owner response:Ventura, I am very distressed that you had some issues and didn’t call us. When we noted the dining chairs were soiled, we purchased new upholstery to reupholster them and it is going to be done after the summer wave of guests, about mid-September. The carpeting may not be brand new, but it was cleaned on July 1st prior to the arrival of our summer guests. VRBO/Homeaway, and our personal website all state that parking is off street (driveway), but nowhere does it indicate that there is parking in the garage. The 2nd item on the Instruction Letter that you received stated that we cannot promise that the propane tank will be full because we live out of the area. The letter also states that the linens are stored in the credenza, next to the TV. If the cleaners forgot to leave sheets there, it gave their phone number to call them immediately in the case of any problems. I am sorry that you were not happy with your stay, and I wish you had given me a call so that we could have tried to solve your problems, instead of having upset guests.

We rented this Skyland home the week of July 4th. There were numerous things wrong with the home. Broken hid-a-key lock box, leaking refrigerator with water on floor and every refrigerator shelf, broken hide-a-bed frame, missing shower curtain in upstairs bathroom, broken fence, missing dead bolt in front door, broken back door screen lock, no papers towels, minimal toilet paper, no hand soap in kitchen and bathrooms. All of this required numerous phone calls to the owner to get resolved. The home showed serious signs of wear and tear, ie, dirty walls, damaged kitchen flooring due to water from refrigerator, etc. There was no pride of ownership evident at this home. I asked for a 20% refund from the owner, who denied my request and responded with a 4% refund, which I viewed as inadequate given the various hassles I had to deal with during our vacation. This is not how a vacation should be spent. I recall talking to the owner about 10 times during the week in dealing with all of these issues. It was a disappointing rental experience. The broken refrigerator and missing shower curtain were the worst parts. For the record, a replacement shower curtain was brought to the home the next day and I installed it. Not a big deal to do, but again, not what one expects to do on a vacation. I expected the home to be in good working order and it wasn't.
Owner response:Tim, I am sorry that this rental wasn’t up to your standards. We really try our best to make sure our guests have a wonderful time in our homes, and for the record, we have managed our family's homes since 2000, and this is our first negative review. I have to admit, the stay got off to a bad start because the lockbox froze and could not be opened. As soon as you called, however, I told you where we had keys hidden and you were in the house within minutes. Interestingly, in reference to the leaking refrigerator, when I called the next guests on their first day, they could not initially find any water. It was only when they were cleaning up to leave, and they removed the bottom drawers, that they finally saw a small amount of water. Other than that, the refrigerator worked fine. Worried that it might be a future problem, the refrigerator has now been replaced. In regards to the flooring, there has been no damage from water. There has been movement of some pieces of laminate, which had been corrected, but they show slight separation. We were not aware that someone had bent the frame on the sleeper sofa, and it took us a week to purchase a new one and get it to Tahoe. Unfortunately, the shower curtain is hidden behind a decorative curtain, and the cleaners did not notice that it was missing. They immediately brought a replacement to the house. In cleaning the house after your stay, the missing rod and curtain were found in the hall closet, obviously put there by prior guests. In terms of missing items in the house, our instruction letter says that we do not supply toiletries, and only a starter kit of paper items. We did try to address all your problems, but thought that $505 was way out of line. We told you that we would give you 10% off your next stay since this stay had problems, and a check for $100 was sent to reimburse you for items that you felt were missing and also for your time to hang the shower curtain and to wipe up the water in the refrigerator. Again, I am sorry that your stay didn’t live up to your expectations

Our experience at the rental was exceptionally wonderful. It was a picturesque location and nature provided a perfect dusting of snow. The central location allowed making final arrangements for our daughter's Tahoe wedding easy to attend to and our weekend in the mountains beautiful. The home is nicely appointed with enough props, cooking needs, and linens that insured everyone's comfort. Thank you. <3 Bobbi
