Charles, I cant begin to explain to you what a wonderful time my friends & I had staying at your cabin. I couldnt believe how much room there was for everyone. We had 16 total, everyone had a bed, the 4 bathrooms came in handy. We used the heck out of the kitchen, we cooked breakfast, lunch, & dinner the whole 5 days we were there. The pool table and ping pong table were a hit, and even though it was snowing, that didn't keep us from enjoying the jacuzzi. The location to the casino and the ski lifts were so close we could have walked if it wasn't snowing so hard. Thank you so much for letting us stay at your cabin, we had a great time and after talking it over with my friends we hope to make this trip and annual one, I only hope your cabin is available when we decide to come again next year. Annette

Owner response:Thanks Annette ! Let me know if there is anything I can do to improve your stay next time. I'm glad you have joined the many who have enjoyed what I have. It reminds me to block out some time for myself! all the best! Charlie (P.S. I will promptly return your deposit this weekend!)

We had a great experience here.We had a family wedding in South Lake Tahoe and this location was wonderful. There were plenty of beds for everyone and the pool table was a fun activity for visitors.The hot tub was very clean and we enjoyed the peaceful setting and the neighborhood was great for walks. We hope to visit there again!

Like home away from home...

Our family has rented this home once a year for the past 2 years. It has really suited our needs. It is like our home away from home. The kitchen is fully stocked, so we take turns cooking (8 adults). The other amenities make this property resort-like==we never run out of things to do. These include: hot tub, horseshoes, ping-pong, pool table, large-screen TV, bbq and nice patio, and it is close to town, but out of ear shot. My own personal kudos is that we always have lots of towels! We hope that the owner will rent to us again next year, as this home is clean, large, well-stocked, and conveniently located in S. Lake Tahoe.

Owner response:Thanks Mickey! Your reassurance really comes at a good time. After almost 200 clients and three years, I recently received a negative review after the cleaners were not scheduled before the guests arrived, and it really made it unpleasant. It's good to know that this place really is special, and nothing says that better than to have repeat guests. you and your family have "dibs" on Fourth of July weekend as long as you want. Glad you had a good time again this year, and looking forward to many more to come ! Charles

This place is a dump!

The listing description for this property is totally wrong. This place is filthy! Upon arrival we immediately contacted the property owner who "wanted to buy us dinner" as a piece offering since the place had not been cleaned. All the cleaning in the world could not have helped this place. We did not want to sit on anything let alone sleep there. Unless you're a bunch of guys wanting to trash a place for a bachelor party, STAY AWAY! Oh yes, I forgot to mention there was a blow up doll hanging on a wall right as you opened the front door. What a nice touch to this place!

Owner response:It is truly regrettable that this client had the "perfect storm" of experience with their rental. First, the Property Manager had failed to communicate with the cleaners and schedule the house to be cleaned (apparently after a party of some sort!), and when they arrived, the place was a mess. They were able to get in touch with me, and the property manager, which I offerred to buy them dinner while the cleaners got there and cleaned the place. They declined this offer (first impressions being what they are), however fortunately, the property manager had a suitable townhouse to which they relocated, and indicated all was well. Until this note. I would like the reader to that note that I view alll comments regarding the reputation of the property I have to offer seriously, and have taken concrete steps for the cleaning to be scheduled, an on-site inspection performed by the property manager, and then an e-mail sent to me for verification prior to anyone checking in. Of the hundreds of clients I have had over the past few years this is the first time this has occurred, and will be the last. I request the reader look at the many other comments (some as late as this past 4th of July weekend), to get a true perspective of the uniqueness, value, and service this property brings to your vacation needs.

Great Location, Close to Stateline, Great Amenities

Guest: JMarr (Antioch, CA)

I would recommend this place to anyone that is looking for an affordable place next to Stateline, but also has the amenities of a premium rental. Our group enjoyed the hot tub, pool table, and horseshoes. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to both families and friends who just want to hang out. A huge plus would be that Safeway is not too far away and you also have a few restaurants/bars within a few block radius.

Owner response:Sweet !! (and Thank You!!) ;D

Memorable Memorial weekend in Tahoe

Thanks again Charles for renting your beautiful house in Tahoe, perfect location close to Edgewood golf course. Snow came which was an added bonus for those who have not experience fresh snow in late May, but did not stop us to use the grill for tasty bbq, that's when we found out that the propane tank is empty, no big deal, there's a convenience store around the corner and got it filled. The house has it's character but the mysterious clock that didn't work for 3 days started running on our last day at the house, spooky! Other than that, It kept evreryone warm and comfortable at the end of the day and were rested for the next day's activity. One more thing, that overhead in the kitchen is the only unsafe feature that you may consider for your next project improvement. Overall, we all had a great time! Thank you and hope you'll let us stay again next reunion.

Great Experience

A group of coworkers and I spent the weekend in the cabin and enjoyed ourselves quite a bit! The location is absolutely perfect - just about walking distance down to the lake and casinos. The house accommodates a lot of people and we had a lot of fun with the pool/ping pong table and the hot tub. Overall we had an absolute blast and would love to stay again if provided the opportunity. Highly recommended.

Beautiful House Great Location

Guest: Justin (Sacramento)
Date of Stay: 03/25/11 Review Submitted: 04/30/11

This house was absolutely the best house for a large group of family and friends. My husband surprised me for my 30th birthday, by booking this house and inviting my family and friends. We found the location to be close by to the casinos and night life and also a great spot to just hang out and enjoy the surroundings that Tahoe offers. We were there in March after a large snow storm and had not only an amazing time, but was gorgeous. Could only imagine what it would be like the rest of the seasons. The house was comfortable, bedrooms were good sized, kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans, and spent many hours in the game room. The maintenance staff was over in the first hour to make sure everything was working properly. We would highly recommend this house to all of our family and friends and anyone else. Thank you Charles for your prompt response to all of our inquires.

Owner response:Sweet!! This is what I enjoy so much in providing this service! My secret is that I get to enjoy it too!! Glad you had a great time, and come back again! Charles

Awesome location and plenty of room

Guest: Ty (Phoenix, AZ)

Organized a crew of 13 skiers to stay here for 5 days and 4 nights. It is close to everything in S. Lake Tahoe (about 2 min from Casino) and has everything you could possibly want for a group trip or large family vacation. Owner was excellent in communication and very easy to work with. With 4 baths, it made it much more enjoyable with a larger crew. Hot-Tub was excellent after the slopes. Pool table and Ping Pong made our evenings great! Highly recommend this place to ANYONE. A few tips: It is not a "high class" home. I wouldn't expect granite counters and travertine floors. It is a very comfortable and cozy home that has exactly what you need on a ski trip. Plenty of comfortable beds, a working kitchen and entertainment. The location make it an excellent choice. Hope this helps!

Awesome Tahoe Getaway!

A group of friends and i went up for a ski weekend this winter and had an awesome time. The cabin is great! There's plenty of room for larger groups and lots to do. We spent a good many hours playing pool (billiards) and watched a fair share of movies on the big screen T.V. The cabin itself is only minutes away from downtown South Lake Tahoe and Heavenly Ski Resort, which made it really easy to do things on a whim. We had an awesome time. In fact this was the second time that we used this cabin!
