Very Peaceful

Guest: Rob (Houston, TX)
Date of Stay: 03/30/12 Review Submitted: 04/17/12

My wife and I were looking for a quiet getaway in the mountains where we could enjoy the views of the lake and sit by a warm fire on a cool winter morning/evenng--and we found it. The Rockpile was exactly what we were looking for. It's a cozy cabin complete with a nice warm fireplace, and fantastic views of the lake. We arrived at night, so we didn't see the views until we woke up the next morning--and it was amazing. We made a fire and watched a snow storm blow it across the lake and deposit a foot of snow all around the house (it was like staying in a snow-globe). The house is very well maintained and is very clean. The architecture is very unique--it is literally built perched on top of a rock pile (which gives it a great view of the lake). The amenities are very modern--brand new appliances (fridge, dishwasher, oven), there's a new, high-end TV in the bedroom, and a new, well maintained hot-tub on the back patio. There is also a sound system that is wired to play music through-out the cabin, which though older, can be arranged to plug in a portable MP3 player. The owners are really nice and very helpful. The whole experience of reserving the Rockpile was very easy and positive. We are already thinking of coming back again. We would highly recommend staying at this property.

Views Galore.

We stayed at the Rockpile this summer and there is a stunning vista from everywhere you look. I witnessed one of the most beautiful sunsets I have ever seen. I have been staying at VRBO properties for years and never I have I been to on that is so incredibly well appointed. Everything you could possibly need is there. There is a queen sized bed in the master and then a pull out in the living room in the main house, but if you have other guests they will be sleeping in a separate place (just down the steps). The living room has the best view in the house, and is very cozy as well. We loved it. There is also a beach 3 minutes walk away that we spent at least 3 days on. It is uncrowded because the water level is so high and the swimming is awesome - I would get there early. If you are not familiar with Brockway - it is very hilly so keep that in mind if you are on bikes. We drove our bikes a very short distance and rode them from there.

We had a great week at the Rockpile. The main house kitchen and living areas feel cozy, private and secluded. The sauna and hot tub are a nice luxury that made our trip unforgettable. Both were clean and in excellent working condition. The view from the 3 picture windows in the living room is of the waters edge to all around the lake and there was so much to see; kayakers,canoes,standup paddlers, skiboaters, seaplanes, so much to see from the Rockpile. We were very lucky the week we stayed because there was a rain storm and my wife and I could watch the storm clouds move around the lake. It was beautiful but just as nice was the perfect sunny weather and being able to see the lake come alive with activity the next day. Our hosts Gail and family are the nicest people you would ever meet. Every inquiry is addressed promptly and always in a friendly welcoming manner. We hope to return again in the fall.

Truly a Piece of Heaven

Guest: Lish (Indianapolis, IN)
Date of Stay: 05/20/11 Review Submitted: 06/20/11

If you're excited about your trip to the Rockpile simply by viewing the listing photos and reading the descriptions of this place, you will only be even more pleased once you arrive and see this home and surrounding area in person. We had been planning our trip for months and we honestly could not have been more pleased with our entire experience. The actual house was remarkable. Because the bedrooms are on different levels, it would be ideal for extended or multiple families vacationing together. However, there is also adequate room on the main level for those traveling with small children. The views from the house are simply breathtaking. It is difficult to describe the views. You will have to see it for yourself once you arrive. The surrounding towns were quite pleasurable as well. Kings Beach is within walking distance. Make time to eat at the Log Cabin Cafe at least once for breakfast while there. We visited Incline Village quite a bit as well. If you're into pampering yourself some, the Stillwater Spa at the Hyatt was remarkable. We highly recommend it. We made it up to Squaw Valley one day too. There is the option to take a cable car up to High Camp, hike around, swim, eat, and then either ride it down or hike back down. We had dinner at Moody's in Truckee one night as well. It was also a great surrounding town. Make time to visit there as well. Now about those owners of the Rockplie...this property is family owned. We cannot say enough wonderful things about this family. They were overly accommodating from the minute our reservation was made. Many pre-vacation questions were answered months before our actual trip. We felt very well taken care of throughout our stay and then even upon our departure. Our trip was practically perfect in everyway. The home, the view, the owners, the surrounding areas, and the activities were all perfect. We do hope to make it back to the Rockpile someday. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who is considering a trip to Lake Tahoe. High Family, thank you again for a wonderful experience.

Fabulous Getaway

Guest: Zim (Phoenix, AZ)
Date of Stay: 05/16/11 Review Submitted: 06/07/11

My husband and I stayed in the largest dwelling on the property during the week of 16 May 2011. A storm front blew through the Sierra Nevadas, however, we stayed warm and cozy in this extremely quiet and zen-like retreat. The wood burning fireplace (with wood provided!), full kitchen, and tremendous views were superb. The hot tub was privately located and provided another source of relaxation while watching the snow fly. Our host, Gail, was informative as to what the area offered. We would, without hestitation, return to this property.

The Ultimate Reunion

Guest: Jeremy (Burlingame, CA)
Date of Stay: 01/21/11 Review Submitted: 02/17/11

"hmmmm where can we go to find multi unit home for privacy, quality group hosting environment (great cutlery/bar/etc), separate sitting on a small rock bluff with about a 250 degree view of the lake?" If you are saying this right now, then waste no more time. Our experience (with a one year old mind you) included roasting in the sauna, relaxing in a private hot tub, cooking extravagant meals, wine near a roaring fire, and card games at the coffee table which give you an expansive view of the lake. Gail (host) doesn't get any more accommodating (graciously providing books and toys for our little one and advice when needed on using the rental). You wont regret it.

January at the Rockpile

Guest: Dave (Mojave Desert)
Date of Stay: 01/03/11 Review Submitted: 02/07/11

If you want the best of old Tahoe the Rockpile is perfect but it is even more than that. Simply put it is a fabulous and one of a kind property. I've been visiting Tahoe for forty years and even lived on the Lake for a bit a couple of decades ago and I've never lived, stayed, or visited at a more charming location. The house is old school, hand built, wood, trees, and great boulders everywhere. The views and setting are unsurpassed. Watch yourself on the steps and stairs but we had small kids and grandma along for the trip and the up and down worked out without any problems. The main living area is open, great views, massive stone fireplace, and behind is a really great galley kitchen that easily accommodated all of our menu planning. The place has soul and we will certainly return for another trip. Very close to Mt Rose and Incline, right on the state line if you're looking for a nearby casino - you could walk - and 30-40 minutes from Reno International you're staying in a quite and lovely place but are minutes from anything you'd want to do in the diverse recreation and distractions of Tahoe. My wife and I have been many places in the States and abroad and the Rockpile is absolutely one of a kind.

Beautiful White Christmas

Guest: San Diego Fans of this home (San Diego, CA)
Date of Stay: 12/18/10 Review Submitted: 02/10/11

Our family was so pleased when we arrived to our cabin. It was an ideal location and we woke up to a spectacular view of the Lake...Wow! Breathtaking. Our every need was met and we enjoyed our stay. The family even invited us for an eggnog at their home for Christmas Eve. The kitchen was well stocked, the beds were comfortable and ample..... and the family room with the fireplace was a big hit! We enjoyed soaking in the hottub while it was snowing.... The kids keep asking when we can return! It was the ultimate vacation for our family. First time we ever spent Christmas away from home and we were not disappointed. Thanks again for sending our daughter's bag that was left behind and more importantly.... thanks for sharing your beautiful home with our family. Take Care and Hope to see you Soon! ~ All our Best from San Diego

The Rockpile has great views, and it's right on the lake!

Guest: Will and Fay (Austin, Tx)
Date of Stay: 12/06/10 Review Submitted: 12/15/10

My wife and I had a great time at the Rockpile. It was just the two of us, although there is plenty of room for more vacationers. The views from the living/dining area and the back porch are awesome, even better than the pictures online! The property is only a stone's throw from the lake. Access to a public lake/beach area is just a 3 minute walk. There are giant boulders all over the property and the beach. We loved them because they make it so unique. The hot tub is perfectly situated on the secluded back patio for privacy. The owners were very responsive and helpful too. We give the Rockpile five stars! Also, the property is very close to the north shore casinos (smaller than the south shore ones, but more laid-back too) and great restaurants in Kings Beach and Incline Village. In terms of restaurants, we loved Log Cabin for breakfast. For a casual soup/sandwich lunch, we suggest Jason's on the Waterfront (the french onion soup is the best we've ever had). For a casual dinner, we loved Lanza's, Las Panchitas. There a a number of highly-rated waterfront fine dining establishments in the area as well, but we did not get a chance to try them. Sightseeing options are myriad. We spent half our time just driving around the lake taking pictures at all the scenic overlooks. Emerald Bay, the public beach at the Rockpile, and Mount Rose were a few of our favorites. The only two things to be aware of are as follows. Access in or out requires taking a few flights of stairs (it really is like a luxury tree house). Also the cabin is very clean and well-maintained, but it is an older home. This means it has tons of personality, which we loved but may not suit everyone's taste.

Amazing Thanksgiving at the Lake!

Guest: Jason (Dallas)
Date of Stay: 11/23/10 Review Submitted: 12/18/10

We stayed at the Rockpile over Thanksgiving and had the most amazing stay! Despite a massive snowstorm, we found the Rockpile to be gorgeous and comfortable. With a view of the Lake from almost every window, we could not have found a more picturesque location. And though the house was convenient to everything (3 min walk to the beach, 10 min walk to the casino/bus stop), it still felt like w were secluded in the woods. It truly was a retreat! Most of all, though, the owners of this house made our stay fantastic. We were unable to drive our rental up the mountain due to the snow, so the family picked us up at the Casino to drive us down to the house. And on our way out, they were kind enough to wake up at 6am to drive us back up to our airport shuttle! Finally, they found my lost wedding ring and mailed it back to me with no hastle - they were AMAZING! Thanks to the whole family for giving up a piece of their Thanksgiving to make our stay wonderful! I would recommend this house to anyone considering a Tahoe vacation! ENJOY!

Rockpile Exceeded our Expectations!

Guest: Colleen (Bay Area, CA)
Date of Stay: 10/17/10 Review Submitted: 11/07/10

When my husband and I started planning our fall vacation we were worn out, from hectic work schedules. As such we set out to find a place that would be wonderfully comfortable and cozy, yet well appointed. We also wanted a spot on the water or at least with a view of the lake (Tahoe) and one that was dog friendly. When I came across Rockpile, through VRBO, I knew I had found the right place. Fortunately for us it was available when we wanted it. We were really excited about our upcoming trip, especially after speaking with our hostess, Gail (who sent us excellent directions and information about both Rockpile and the surrounding area). While the photos of Rockpile were fabulous, I don't think there is any way they could have depicted the true beauty of the home itself or of the beautiful surroundings. We were thrilled! From the moment we arrived we fell in love with Rockpile. The views from the decks and large windows were breathtaking. There are so many wonderful things to share about the cabin. It was spotless and well furnished. The kitchen was extremely well equiped. The furnishings comfortable. The fireplace magnificent, the hot tub perfect (very private). The sand beach really was only a three minute walk from our front door. Within hours of our arrival we were relaxed and had settled in nicely. While Rockpile was wonderfully quiet and peaceful it was within minutes of lots of cafes, restaurants and shops. We had a wonderful time exploring the little towns and several of the ski resorts, all within half an hour of our cabin. After our daily excursions we always looked forward to returning to Rockpile to sit by a roaring fire or sit on our private deck watching the sun set or walk on the beach (or all three). After seven glorious days we had to head home. We really hated to leave but knowing we would be back made it a little easier. Weeks later we are still raving about our stay at Rockpile and enjoying our memories and our many photos. I would highly recommend Rockpile; it was truly a wonderful cabin in one of the most beautiful settings.

KILLER place - undersold

Guest: TJ (San Francisco )
Date of Stay: 09/19/10 Review Submitted: 09/27/10

So, I was looking for a little work retreat and a place to hang out with friends for a few days over that weekend...this place rocked it (pardon the pun). One thing, I really think they undersold it. The lake is right there - 30 yards from your car - while you have to walk a bit further to get to the beach (200 yards) it's insanely close and just an amazing location. I was really pleased to find a place with a hot tub, on the lake, a sauna (which gets hot, fast) and a private backyard. You can relax here in complete seclusion and not worry about noise, nosy neighbors, or anything else. I've been going to Tahoe for years, and if I ever need a place to chill again for just me, or up to 6-8 people, this is the place. You cannot beat the location, the access, and the views - wow! Also, if you like rock climbing, while I'm sure the owner's insurance policy frowns upon it, bring your shoes - some really killer boulder problems literally overhanging the hot tub and all throughout your private back (and front) yard. Just an insane place. Also, the owners could not have possibility been nicer people - inviting me in for a glass of wine upon my late arrival. This place gets my full rec! TJ

Owner response:As far as his comment that the hot tub heats up fast-- it actually stays at 104 degrees all the time (unless you want to turn the temperature down) so there's no need to wait for it to heat up at all!

Thank you for the lovely stay. The Rockpile was the perfect place for me. I loved the space. the energy and the beauty of the place. There is a real sense of magic and even a sacredness. A lot of care went into the Rockpile. The boulders all around is just GRAND---one cannot help but be touched by them. It took me 3 days to come down and start to sink in and get into a groove. And when I did it was wonderful. I will be back and next time I will stay longer. FOR SURE! I will recommend the Rockpile and I am sure some of my friends and acquaintances will contact you. Lastly, thank you for your kindness and openness with me. You made this trip even more special.

Without Doubt, the coolest cabin in Tahoe

Guest: Alex (Bay Area)
Date of Stay: 09/03/10 Review Submitted: 09/09/10

Rockpile really is a luxury Treehouse right next to the beach. We stayed here for Labor Day weekend for a reunion of 8 college roommates from around the country. The weather was perfect for swimming, hiking, floating down the river, and hanging out in the hot tub. The house is built right into the hill side by the lake, with boulders becoming a feature of the house and a forming natural fence around the hot tub. It's really cool! We highly recommend staying here, and the owner is also really friendly and helpful.

Lovely Time At The Rockpile

Guest: Jackie, Bruce, and Andrew (Portola Valley, CA)
Date of Stay: 06/20/10 Review Submitted: 07/16/10

My husband, son and I had a wonderful week at the Rockpile. I didn’t even know where Kings Beach was when I made the reservation, but I’m so glad we gave it a try. The house itself was lovely: beautiful views of the lake, a well-appointed kitchen, wonderful furnishings (not what you would typically find in rental house -- more like what one would have in a nice home -- lots of great artwork), and a big t.v. in the master with a DVD player to watch videos. We caught trout in nearby Boca Reservoir, and what a perfect place to cook the fish: the back deck of the Rockpile, nestled among the boulders (bet your back deck at home doesn’t look like this). A little salad, a bottle of Chardonnay, dinner at the table out back...and then the hot tub, right there, calling us in. It doesn’t get any better! There were plenty of places in town to dine on the evenings when we didn’t want to cook, and the restaurants were quite good (Gail, your hostess, has them written up for you, so no need to search). We biked from Tahoe City to River Ranch, hiked the Rubicon trail at Emerald Bay, and trekked through the snow at Emigrant Peak at the top of Squaw (yes, in June -- what fun to hike through the snow in running shoes and shorts). On days when we didn’t have a trip planned, we visited the beach around the corner, and it too was terrific -- more boulders, and a spectacular view of the lake. It actually rained a few day, so thank goodness that we were at the Rockpile -- we played games and read our books, and it was nice to have settled into such a comfortable spot. We would love to come again. One more thing: it is nice and QUIET there. No need to worry about car noise that you might experience in some Tahoe homes -- this is well off the main road, in a very peaceful spot.

The Rockpile is Old Tahoe at its best!

Guest: Sue (Mendocino, CA)
Date of Stay: 06/14/10 Review Submitted: 07/12/10

We loved our stay at the Rockpile in June. The home is truly unique and one-of-a-kind. If you want to experience old Tahoe at its best, then spend some time here. The views from our perch amongst the rocks were spectacular. The first time ever we could actually hear the waves on the lake when the wind came up in the afternoon. We were that close! We loved the privacy of the back deck -- our own outside dining area, nestled among huge rocks, with a sun deck and hot tub. Perfect after a day of hiking with the dog. We also appreciated that we could bring our dog with us. The Rockpile is very dog friendly and he loved chasing the chipmunks around the yard! The place excludes history and charm and is chock full of interesting furniture and art pieces. We cooked every night and the kitchen was more than adequately stocked. The owners were very hospitable and accommodating. They even lent us some local hiking maps and made amply recommendations for eating locally and things to do. But, most of all, we loved being lakefront, with such an incredible view, watching the sunset over the lake was magic! Fabulous place. We would highly recommend and look forward to another visit soon. Thanks!

Rockpile

Guest: 12/22/2009 (New York City)
Date of Stay: 12/22/09 Review Submitted: 06/01/10

We stayed at the Rockpile for the winter/spring of 2010 (mid-Dec thru April) and had a great visit. We loved it so much we extended our stay twice ! The house has a ton of character, a wonderful view, and is the perfect place for a couple to relax and get away from it all. The detached guest rooms allowed us to entertain our guests while still maintaining privacy for ourselves. We used the fireplace and the hot-tub daily and the kitchen could not be better setup for a pair of amateur chefs. We typically skied during the day at Alpine or Squaw (a scenic 30 min drive away) and relaxed at home in the evenings. We’ve recommended the Rockpile to our friends who are seeking a perfect Tahoe getaway and we’re sure that other guests will be equally impressed.

AWESOME GETAWAY

Guest: Trina (Houston, Texas)
Date of Stay: 12/04/09 Review Submitted: 12/21/11

My best friend and I stayed here for two weeks in the off season before Thanksgiving. It is so quiet and peaceful at night, no sound of dogs barking or loud neighbors, which is something we live with everyday back at home. Oh, the silence is glorious! Magnificent views from the three panoramic windows of the living room. The rooms are clean, rustic, cozy, and welcoming. The kitchen has everything, the washer is front load (score!), and there's a hot tub to soak in after a day of hiking. Although it feels secluded, restaurants and grocery stores are less than 5-10 minute drive away. We could have easily stayed here for another week. Gail and her husband, Ken, are so nice and accommodating. The next time we're in Tahoe, we wouldn't hesitate to stay at Rockpile again.

For me, the on-line pictorial of "The Rockpile" induced a love-at-first-sight moment, and the write-up described an ideal, relaxing family get- away. What is advertised on VRBO is a historical home, located in the private and exclusive Brockway area, with a view of Lake Tahoe, tucked in and around an enormous pile of granite boulders, replete with hot tub and sauna. And guests are allowed to bring their beloved canine companions! However, there is so much more to The Rockpile than mere words can describe. The sights (that majestic lake with background of snow-capped mountains!), the smells (the gorgeous, spicy scent of the surrounding pine trees!) and those sounds (what sounds? the absence of city noise is heavenly!) must be savored slowly, say over a week or two. Or three. My family's experience there this August met all of our expectations in every way, shape and form. Not only did we enjoy some of the most restful sleep we've had in ages, but our waking moments were spent just as blissfully, whether we were frittering away the time at the local beach, swimming in the Lake, bbq-ing on the deck, star gazing, hiking, or biking....... For any of you familiar with Mankas Inverness Lodge, The Rockpile in Brockway evokes a similar feel. Here is a sublime vacation rental that displays rustic elegance in a paradisiacal setting. This property is equally fitting for couples seeking a romantic departure from the fray or for families wanting to bond and return to a healthy, simple lifestyle.

This is an idyllic lake retreat. The house is magical and is built in and around the rocks. With fabulous views of the lake and various sitting areas, depending on the time of day this is very special old Tahoe. We loved cooking in and eating out on the various porches at night. Fabulous night skies and a wonderful hot tub as well.

Absolutely wonderful! Our diverse, international, 19-61 year old family & friends loved the location, hospitality of owners, great views! No TV in the main room---great decision. We played Scrabble, hunted down and released 40 crawdads. Our wee dogs ran out of gas with the altitude and we adults had more than one early night but we leave very contented and invigorated.

I doubt that our family could have spent any more time marvelling at the Rockpile's beautiful view. It was a wonderful place to play games and enjoy each other's company. Thank you for opening your fantastically unique home to us. Plus, "Gilbert" and "Sullivan" were big hits with the four & under crowd! Thanks again!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. You can't believe the spectacular, breathtaking views of the Lake that you are treated to from this unique home built upon impressive granite boulders. The front deck and back patio are ideal for having a memorable outdoor meal, or for relaxing at anytime of the day. You will be treated to gorgoeus sunsets viewed from the indoor living and dining area. The accomodations are clean,comfortable and cozy. There are wonderful hiking trails around the area and you can learn more about them in the books that are provided in the home. You can also ask your gracious host, Gail High, about the various trails. In fact she is very friendly, helpful and a wealth of information. We highly recommend this rental and look forward to a return visit.

What a magical place to spend some time! The gorgeous views of the lake are unsurpassed, and the rustic charm of the most unusual house captures the feel of old Tahoe of bygone days, but offers all the modern conveniences.

But to get an idea of our management style and how important it is to us that our guests are happy, please check out the guestbook of our other rental property, Rocky Retreat, where we have over 70 positive comments and no negative ones. This site will not allow an email link but you can find that guestbook by googling "homeawayconnect guestbook 38895" & then selecting the title "Gorgeous Large Home with Hottub & Fireplace, Walk to Beach..."
