Sister's 40th getaway

Date of Stay: 04/27/12 Review Submitted: 05/09/12

What we liked most about this house was the spaciousness. 8 of us stayed here to celebrate my sister's 40th birthday. The common areas are spacious and the 3 rooms are a very good size and each room had it's own en suite. The house still smells very new with modern finishes. The hot tub was one of the reasons we booked this house. Unfortunately, we were never able to use the hot tub because we couldn't get the hot tub hot enough and when we called the owner I believe we were told it takes 5 hours to heat up. He was very responsive when we reported this to him. Also, one person in our party said the pull out couch mattress is a bit springy but what can you expect from a pull out. All in all the accommodations were great and the house is very well taken care of.

Wonderful Tahoe Getaway

We stayed here with two other families and six kids, and the space was perfect. Each family had their own bedroom and bathroom, and the upstairs combination kitchen/living room/dining room was huge and well-appointed with beautiful hardwood floors, nice furniture and a well-equipped kitchen. We loved the proximity to Heavenly, the Lake and it was a short walk up the street to open space and great sledding. The owner was attentive and so nice. We are looking forward to our next stay!

Just returned from fantastic long weekend in South Lake Tahoe. The house is exactly as described. Plenty of room for the five of us and no need to share bathrooms (very important with 3 daughters!) Perfectly convenient to everything you would want to do in SLT. Home is very upscale and well equipped. One of the best features is the ability to pull into the huge garage and load and unload out of the cold and snow. Our 8 passenger rental suburban fit into the garage with no problem and even had room to open the rear gate with the garage door closed. The girls had fun being the designated daily GDO (garage door opener). Would definitely return and recommend to others!

Great Time - Great Location - Great Property

I always prefer newer properties that are well cared for, this certainly met the bill. With a blended family we all had just a great time - this was the first time together for an extended period. I would look to rent this one again.

Home Away from the City

Guest: Angela (Oakland, CA)
Date of Stay: 07/30/10 Review Submitted: 09/20/10

We loved this place. Not only did it look like it was just built, but it had everything - pots, pans, baking dishes, mixing bowls, cups, utensils..... that you could ever think to need. The kitchen is a dream! It's also perfect for extra guests... as the owner provides extra air mattresses, and some extra blankets in one of the master bedrooms. Speaking of the owner, he is highly responsive to your needs, esp. when you happen to forget something on the day of your arrival. He'll give you the instructions over the phone, and will check back often if you don't call back. I would definitely come back to this cabin when I plan my next group trip. It really is a home away from home... plus you couldn't ask for better "customer service".

Lots of great space for socializing and very comfortable, huge bedrooms. We invited friends staying at the local casinos to dinner several times. The kitchen/dining area was well suited for entertaining... we had 13 people at one time and still plenty of room! We'll be back! Rating5 out of 5 Family Getaway In Style Diana T santa monica, ca We had a fantastic time with close friends and family at this luxurios South Tahoe home. There were plenty of room for us, and we were seven adults and three children. It takes minutes to get to the slopes, casinos and even the lake. On a typical day, we had a full day of skiing, followed by sledding on the lake and then a wonderful hot tub back at the house. The house is so close to everything that you can really fill your day with whatever you like. Plus, we have all the comforts of home, and then some. The kitchen is huge, well-appointed and perfect for our family cooking extravaganzas. We had a blast and will come back again. Rating5 out of 5 Great City Getaway Carlos C This was an excellent escape from San Francisco. It is close enough to many options of entertainment and adventure in this beautiful city. Public transportation, bars, skiing, restaurants, supermarkets, hiking and if what you are looking for is peace and relaxation, they all are accessible in this wonderful property.

My wife and I stayed with two other couples and absolutely love this house. With three huge master suites and a robust common/living area we were able to have our privacy when needed. It has everything you want and the owner is very easy to work with. I highly recommend the house.

What a beautiful place! Thank you for everything. We had a wonderful time. The location is perfect and we made the most of it. And thanks for providing all the extras. We made good use of the sleds (how wonderful to sled right into the lake!) and the crib was perfect. Baby Jackie loved her little 'room' in that closet. Perfect for those with a newborn. We will be back next year!

We recently stayed in this superp house with two other couples and had an amazing time. The designer deserves accolades for their thoughtfullness to detail and ease. It was a true vacation as each of us had our own master suite. The spacious family area and kitchen provided ample room for all three couples to hang out and enjoy each other. The cabin is in a great location very close to Heavenly. We even skiied to the house from Heavenly but I don't recommend this unless you are a good skiier. To finish it off is a great dip in the jacuzzi. All three couples fit easily and could relax from a long day of skiing. I will absolutely be back and would not change a thing.

My husband and I stayed with friends at this amazing winter vacation home. The house is really a home. It is very inviting and comfortable. All rooms had nice furniture, bedding and bath linens and flat screen tvs. The kitchen is set up for cooking and opens up to the dinning room and living room, which is great for hanging out while you make an amazing dinner. We did a lot of cooking and BBQing, eating around the dinner table and then playing games. There is also a great hotub with a waterfall and jets that you can enjoy after a long day of skiing or hiking. While the boys skied the ladies took a great hike. I'm sure the hiking in the summer is amazing. In addition to a great home this location is fabulous. It is close to the spa for a massage, casinos if you play black jack, restaurants and the lake. We all had such a great time that I think we will be back next winter and maybe test it out this summer. Enjoy!

Owner response:Thanks! We appreciate the good reviews. We try hard to make our place comfortable.

This house was amazing. It was close to Heavenly skiing and hikes. We hated to leave it though. It was nice to cozy up next to the fireplace and watch a movie on the big flat screen or cook a big dinner in the new kitchen or grab a beer and hit the hot tub. The house is pretty new so everything was in perfect condition. I can't wait to go back next year!!

We just stayed here with our family and loved the proximity to Heavenly for skiing! This is the nicest rental I have stayed in probably because it is new. We loved just hanging out in the living room playing games by the fireplace. & The parents enjoyed the hot tub with a botle of wine!! For a dinner out try the Reva grill- It is a restaurant close by on the waterfront.

Great Vacation Home

Date of Stay: 10/02/08 Review Submitted: 11/03/08

Thank you for letting us stay at your fabulous home. It's beautiful! We loved the cherry wood floors and sitting by the fire. Our family had a great time at the house and walking the trails behind it. Every night we took a bottle of wine with us to the rocks up the hill and watched the sunset over the lake. Very special. We will be back next year!

Owner response:Thank you for your review. The trail is terrific. We run it in the summer and use it to go sledding in the winter. I love starting the walk to the right, going over the streams and then looping back to that viewpoint. It's a great way to stretch the legs at the end of the day!

My husband and I decided to spend the Holidays in Tahoe with our siblings. The home was perfect for two families. The adults (us) had wonderful gigantic rooms and the kids all split the two other rooms. We loved having an extra TV room downstairs for the kids so we could hang out by the fire and catch up while the kids watched DVD's downstairs. We highly recommend this place!

Owner response:Thanks Sarah. We also enjoy having the bonus room for our friend's kids to hang out in while we enjoy a nice meal & wine upstairs. We appreciate your stay!
