  Our main reason for choosing this property is that we were bringing dogs with us to the property and the "dog run" with doggie door was a huge incentive. Upon arrival, the "dog run" was about a 5ft metal cage and we weren't allowed access to it as it "had a hole" per the management company. This was a BIG disappointment because the description (on the management website) noted it was a large area for pets. We actually preferred a lake front property, so we were incredibly disappointed when we arrived. The space is ok. Some pros and cons of the residence were: PROS - Good living room space, large dining tables to accommodate large groups, washer/dryer in house. 2 refrigerators in the kitchen, and 2 patio tables on the deck. Large family room TV and large master suite. Decent view of the lake. Met owner and he was very nice.House is also close to grocery stores and casinos.(about 2 miles) CONS - Decor could use an upgrade, dog/pet area unavailable during stay, no where to put trash cans (they were in the bottom hallway next to bedrooms), hot tub was SMALL (fits 4 children) and large hot tub was dirty and rusted stored in the back near the closed dog run (not attractive at all), one small BBQ for grilling, not yard or area for children to play, neighbors claimed outdoor street parking. Not enough twin beds for individual sleepers. 1 of the 2 bottom level bedrooms was an old wash room or storage room because their was a faucet on the wall near the head of the bed. house isn't truly prepared for groups of more than about 12 to14 - not enough plates, towels/sheets, hot water, and sleep space. There were NO beach towels available and no extra sheets for those of us wanting fresh linens. We had to run the washer everyday. Bottom driveway really only fit about 5 cars (we were parking trucks and SUVs) Top driveway can cram about 3 compact cars. I wouldn't recommend a large group with children or pets for this house. It's currently built and designed for adults wanting to get away up in the mountain areas. Probably better as a winter or fall stay.Overall, it sufficed, but the descriptions left us expecting more.

  The homes are as advertised. When you arrive the staff and owner are friendly & extremely helpful. This house has always been very clean. Our stay was wonderful! We have used this house for 3 years and have already booked for next year.

  Overall we had a graet stay for 12 people! Kitchen was fantastic for group cooking, view of the lake is amazing! We enjoyed the pool table & extra large TV. There is a Safeway nearby & all the shops at the Stateline. The office staff was great!

  Our family recently used this rental as headquarters for a Lake Tahoe Reunion. There were 12 people staying overnight & up to 34 people for get togethers. This house was plenty spacious enough for these gatherings. There were, however, things that the management company or owner need to address for a rental priced at $450 a night. The carpets were dirty and not a "welcoming sight". In addition, signs were posted that you must take off your shoes inside the house or you were threatened with an additional $250 cleaning fee on top of the already assessed cleaning fee - to protect dirty carpets?? The kitchen was adquately stocked, but the bottom oven didn't work, nor did the clock. There was no visible clock in the downstairs area. While cooking one evening, water began leaking on the kitchen island, which turned out to be a leak from the upstairs shower! The hole on the main floor deck was just as you cross the entry bridge & could have caused injury if someone stepped into it. We covered it up with a bucket we had brought. The online advertisment stated pet friendly, but contract arrived stating NO PETS? The biggest disappointment was the advertised Hot Tub was not working. The managment did give us keys to go to the Resort pool instead, but it was just not the same as a hot tub on a mountain home deck under the stars... If these things were corrected, I would not hesitate to stay here again with a large group...

  Owner response: Dear Guest, We appreciate you taking the time to review our home and we sincerely apologize that your stay was "less than perfect". Our lake-view, six-bedroom home was in high demand during the summer and was booked back to back which did not allow us to clean the carpets. The carpets were cleaned at the soonest opportunity when the home was vacant (right after your stay). The hot tub is now working. The leak in the shower pan upstairs has been fixed. The hole in the deck is repaired. There is a clock in the downstairs bedroom. I will work on our generic contract that states "no pets" and make it more specific to our pet-friendly homes. We welcome you to stay with us again and would like to make it up to you with a nice discount. Many thanks from Tahoe Management

  Carpets dirty, deck in poor condition and need of repair/refurbishing. While linens, towels were clean, linoleum floors in kitchen and bathroom were clean as well. If you have pets or small children, beware of the deck railings (spaced about 6 inches and curve out beyond the deck at the bottom). There is no air conditioning, which made warm days suffering inside and out. Views are terrific of the Lake. There were 8 of us (3 families) and all had their own space for sleeping.

  Owner response: Dear Guest, Thank you for your review. We wanted to let you know that we have removed the indoor/outdoor carpeting from the deck and it is now repaired. We also apologize that we were not able to clean the carpets during the peak summer weeks because the home was booked back to back. We were able to clean the carpets at the soonest opening when the home was vacant and in the future will have our housekeeping staff perform spot cleaning on the carpet during the busy season. Typically the breezes from the lake are sufficient to cool the home along with the ceiling fans and room fans provided. I am sorry that you experienced one of the few heat spells that we get in Tahoe. We hope that you will return and enjoy the terrific views of the lake and allow us to discount your next stay. Kind regards, Tahoe Management
