We had a great time at this vacation rental. The location was very central. The house layout was perfect for 2 families & a dog! It has the best stocked kitchen I have ever seen for a vacation rental & was very handy w/ little kids. We will definitely keep Rainbow 6 in mind when we return to Tahoe.

Rainbow 6 was a perfect get away home for my family. The place was clean and accommodating and we will be coming back to stay again in the future.

Cozy and Family friendly place at Tahoe

Thanks Dan for renting this wonderful place. We were a group of 4 adults and 2 kids. We really felt like staying at home. Kitchen had all the supplies needed like salt,sugar, oil and other spices you name it. Had enough towels and linens. We did book the stay for only 2 nights. My kids and us wanted to stay longer. We did not get time to use the spa . No noisy neighbours. Close to all the places at Tahoe. We did have wonderful memories at this vacation home. We sure will come back and recommend to our friends in future. Listed photos were accurate. We did receive the deposit sooner than expected. Dan is very friendly in answering phones and emails.

Owner response:Thank You, we try to leave the cupboards full of things that are useful like spices and oils, etc. which all guests are encouraged to use.

My friends and I went for an all girls getaway. It was perfect. The house was better then expected. More then enough room and we loved the big pillows to plop down on in front of the gas fireplace. The two separate family rooms are great for families with kids, too (although we didn't bring ours :) Dan was always available for any questions I had. The hot tub was an added bonus and we definitely took advantage of it. I couldn't believe how stocked the kitchen was. It blew my expectations away. I'll definitely be back. Thanks Dan for sharing your place with us.

Thanks so much for a great Thanksgiving! The house is cozy and spacious with everything one needs. We especially enjoyed the hot tub, big backyard with plenty of snow play, and everything the house had to offer. The owner, Dan, was always there via phone if I had any questions (or needed advice on getting out of the snow lol) and is very caring and helpful. I can't wait to go back !!!

Our yearly trip to Tahoe

Guest: Nonie (Stockton, CA)
Date of Stay: 08/08/10 Review Submitted: 08/26/10

We had a very enjoyable trip to Tahoe and it was made even better because we were able to "spread out" in this wonderful home. There were six of us including my 11 year old grandchild who is confined to a wheelchair. She loves "Everybody Loves Raymond" and we brought along her DVD's so she could watch the shows downstairs, while we cooked, read or played games. The upstairs theater was great for the guys who loved watching ball games. After a busy day bike riding, hiking or being at the beach, the hot tub was a welcome treat. We were very impressed with this home and appreciated that so much was provided, from laundry facilities to linens, and seasoning in the kitchen, even paper towels. This vacation home, has it all and I have told my friends about it and have passed on to them how they can find it on the net. The owner, Dan has provided excellent customer service and the property lives up to the claims. We look forward to our trip next year and hope that we can once again stay in this home. Thank you Dan for being so kind.

Owner response:I try, Thanks for that review, Dan

It had been awhile since we had been back to South Lake Tahoe. We were looking for a house to rent that would have room for four adults and our beloved Shih Tzu, Lacie. We found everythign we were looking for at Rainbow. The house was very clean and had more than enough room for all. We played Yahtzee on the back patio, enjoyed TV in the theatre room, BBQ'd again in the huge back yard and had a dip in th hot tub with all the stars in the sky as our backdrop. The house was well beyond well stocked. We brought way to many things that were already provided for us at the house. Dan the owner was there for our few questions and was really nice to talk to. We fished,kayaked,hit the casinos, shopped, took a lake tour and found a great dog beach for Lacie. Hope we can get back real soon. Rent this house and you will be more than oh so glad you did. We were. Thanks again Dan.

Simply Delightful

Had three families here for a weekend in June and it was just perfect. The home is comfortably updated, everything you need and the two living areas kept the kids and parents on good terms. :) Lovely big bathrooms. Also had friends with a home in the keys, on the water there on the same weekend, but folks wanted to come and hang out where we were. Would rent again!

A Perfect Family Vacation

Guest: Clevenger (SF Bay Area)
Date of Stay: 03/05/10 Review Submitted: 03/09/10

The Rainbow Cabin was perfect for our families. The backyard was a snow park for our toddlers & dogs, a spacious downstairs living room made a perfect play space for the two infants, and the upstairs movie room entertained the 9 year olds perfectly. The kitchen is filled with everything you could need for cooking (check the supplies before making a grocery trip as you will be pleasantly surprised to find plenty of basics), and there are games for all ages. The wireless was perfect for the iPods, and we will be bringing up the PS3 on our next trip. Dan is kind and accommodating. He was responsive to our questions and incredibly easy to work with. We will be future Rainbow renters.

Owner response:That is exactly how we intended the cabin to be used. That was the family way. It's good for adult groups also. We want it to be versatile, clean, fun and for a great price! Thanks, Dan

This house was fantastic. My husband and I rented this house for our summer wedding weekend up in Tahoe. It was only 5 minutes away from Valhalla where we got married and it was close to the lake, casinos and hiking/outdoors. It had everything to care for our comfort and needs. It had the perfect amenities for a small get-together of family and friends the night before the wedding on the warm summer evening in the backyard, and then my bridesmaids and family had the house and all of its space to get ready during the day. Very spacious floorplan with two full bathrooms and three bedrooms and plenty of space for visitors comfort. Afterward, it was the perfect retreat for my husband and me to enjoy the comfort and quiet of the house. The house was very well maintained and clean with a great backyard deck and spa. The furniture and kitchen were perfect for all of our cooking and entertaining! Above all, the owner was a joy to work with and very accommodating of our needs. We highly recommend this house for families and couples!

Owner response:Our house has a large Living room downstairs and a family room upstairs, this makes it easy to split up into two groups like adults and children,men and women, couples etc, Have Fun Everybody!

We stayed here for the New Year weekend. We were amazed when we first walked in. The pictures do not do this place justice! There are plenty of pots, pans, dishes, and utensils for the whole family. Though we didn't get a chance to use it, the spa was already steamy for us when we arrived. The work area in the garage was great for sharpening the edges on our skis and boards. 5-10 minutes driving to the resorts and casinos. The neighbors are friendly too!

Owner response:Thanks Jon!! I'm tryin

This place has everything you need for a relaxing stay in South Lake Tahoe. It is in an extremely convenient location: close to Casinos, Ski Resorts and an easy 'in n out' of town. My stay included 2 couples and the best part about this place is the 2 living rooms. Each couple had their own floor to themselves, privacy when needed. Everything worked and was very easy to use including: spa, kitchen appliances, WiFi, heater/fireplace and entry and exit. We have stayed at other places with sub par furnishings and out dated appliances that sometimes didn't work. Not this place, everything is pristine. Highly Recommend!!!

The place was great. I stayed here with a group of ten people and we had a great time. The house is very close to town (shopping, fast food, groceries, etc.) and just a couple miles to both the lake and the nevada side (night life and casino's). It has recently been remodeled and looks pristine inside. it was very clean and orderly. The kitchen was surprisingly well stocked with dishes and seasoning etc. The hot tub out back was new and clean and a treat in the cold weather. Everything in the advertisement lived up to expectations (the internet and tv's worked perfectly). The owner was extremely helpful to me personally. When we arrived, we were happy to find some brochures for activities and menus for several restaurants in the area. The owner had written tips and information on these telling us of his favorite places to eat and fun things to do. I was also surprised and happy to find a sled in the garage and several pairs of snow boots (which had a note on them telling us we should feel free to use them). I would definitely recommend this place to groups of 6-10. Thanks for providing us with a great place for a great weekend!

Owner response:I am glad to see that folks are using my "You Can Borrow It" section in the garage. You cam borrow boots, sleds, beach chairs, a clothes dryer(set it in front of the fireplace to dry gloves etc.) and more! All I ask is that you put back clean

I'm so glad to have found this property, its truly is a home away from home. I love that its close to all the happening in South Lake Tahoe yet its very private. The place is very clean, cozy and has all the things you'll find in your own home. The owner is really nice, he made sure we were comfortable and our stay hassle-free I will sure be back again and recommend this property to people I know who's visiting South Lake Tahoe.

Owner response:We make sure the place is clean and everything works when you get there. I will make every effort to keep transactions simple and easy. Call me anytime with questions, Dan
