Great views and wonderful place

Me and my wife decided to take out family to Tahoe for the weekend. We found this house online and decided to stay here due to the views. We were not disappointed. The views were tremendous and the house was nice and clean with plenty of room for our family. Although perched above the road we weren't bothered by the road noise although you can hear the cars sometimes. There are stairs which could be dangerous for kids but they provided a gate to seal them off.

Amazing View and Stay

House has a great view of the lake from living room. We loved our stay. It was very easy dealing with the owner/manager. She was always available on phone and very accommodating with our requests. We will visit this place again.

Sometimes pictures can be misleading, but the pics here actually sell the place short! Amazing views, great location and a lot more space than what we had expected. Look forward to coming back!

What can I say about this home? It's hard to even find the words. The views of the lake were so awe inspiring it was hard to force ourselves out of the comfy couches and lounges. But luckily the dinning and bedrooms have the same view. Beds were very comfortable and everything you could wish for was provided. The layout of the house provided enough privacy for everyone who wanted it and allowed for us all to gather together in comfort as well. It was a magical weekend that we will all remember forever. So hard to leave. It really felt like home by the time we had to pack up and go. I know I speak for our entire group when I say we all highly recommend this home. To be clear, it is not the highest end fanciest place we have stayed but by far our favorite! We have spent a lot more for a lot less. It's not the high end amenities of the home that made it special. It was the feeling you got when you stepped in. As each person arrived without exception they walked in and just stared at the view and the beautiful rooms and said OMG. This is going to be GREAT! And it even exceeded our expectations. There is a trade off for the amazing location in that from the deck or sometimes the living room you will hear some car noise from the road. The Hawks and Squirrels didn't seem to mind it, and neither did we. The other thing that is so amazing about this place is it really doesn't matter what the weather is like or what time of year it's going to be. If there is snow, it will be beautiful! If it's sunny it will be beautiful! You can't go wrong. It's also very conveniently located to some great restaurants and shops, and then of course there is the lake and the mountains and skiing or boarding all right there just minutes away. We were there for a class but we all want to go back and just play next time. The owners communications were complete and prompt and when we thought we needed a code for internet, we got a call within minutes of sending the text from the owners brother letting us know we didn't need a code but if we had any problems connecting he would be right over to help or if there was anything else we needed just call. Awesome! Oh and don't even worry about bring CD players, DVD players even VHS, it's already there and practically in every room. There is a laundry room and even high chair and a porta crib if you have little ones. Lot's of games and books and toys too. Over all I just can't say enough. The home has a personality all its own! Just Go.

This place is lovely with a beautiful view over looking the lake. I don't think the website does this place justice because I was really pleasantly surprised to see the big windows with the lake view. We skiied with our kids and this place was just perfect. Plus they allowed us to bring our dog which was great!

Wonderful View...

Guest: Shell Seeker 2 (Dallas, Texas)
Date of Stay: 06/18/11 Review Submitted: 07/06/11

This home is clean, comfortable, and has a wonderful view. A few minor changes that would make a big difference would be: new fresh towels in both of the bathrooms, recover the dining room chairs as there are holes in some of the seats, and a fresh coat of paint throughout the house would be nice. Although the description of this house states that it is "nestled above Highway 28", we were shocked by the amount of noise that the highway produces. The noise was a huge distraction and a big disappointment to us.

Owner response:Thank you, for the gracious compliments on the home. We are so appreciative of constuctive comments since we are not always aware of all the home's needs. I am sending fluffy new towels and fabric for the chairs, up to the house this weekend and I am also making arrangements for fall painting. Wahoo.... There is some street noise from the ONLY road that runs around the lake, but it is the price we pay to have the most incredible view God has made. I am so grateful to see that priceless view of the lake every blessed morning that I have a chance....I think it is so worth a bit of traffic noise as we are "nestled above hwy 28"! Kindest regards.

We spent 2011 President's Day holiday at the house with kids and grandkids. The place was clean, neat, well stocked with essentials and VERY comfortable. The pictures don't do it justice. We plan to go back in the summer and as many times as we can. Just wonderful.

Thank you for a great stay at your home! The view is breathtaking, and the home is wonderful. Great accommodations for two families with rooms for adults and kids. We enjoyed relaxing by the fire in the great room. Cooking was easy with everything provided. We celebrated a fun, family New Year's Eve. We also went sledding and ice skating at North Star. It was a wonderful vacation. :o)

We vacation at Tahoe almost every summer and we had been considering renting this beautiful view home for a couple of years - and we are glad that we did. The view is every bit as beautiful as in the VRBO pictures ... maybe even more so. We rented during a new moon so the stars at night invited us to leave our comfortable beds and sleep on the deck under the milky-way star filled sky. Everything we needed was available in the kitchen and the parking was quite good. We daily enjoyed the quick easy trip to Kings Beach and overall really enjoyed the stay!

We just stayed at this home for one week in late April, 2009. We want to go back! What's really great about this home is that even when you come back to it at the end of a busy, touristy day, you still have the lake at your beck and call due to the amazing lake views from everywhere in the home. It was extremely comfortable and convenient to everything we wanted to do. All the amenities were at our fingertips -- so much better than an impersonal hotel. We will be back!

Just wanted to let you know that we truely enjoyed your home. It has really spoiled us and we have stayed in many rentals, from Hawaii to Yosemite, and none of them is like yours. The amenities were incredible. The view of the lake was immaculate. Roy was really nice and made our stay very comfortable. The grandchildren had a wonderful time. We will visit again!!!

We all enjoyed our stay very much. Your home was the most well-appointed vacation rental I've EVER stayed in -- what a convenience!!! And the view, of course, was incredible. The only slight inconvenience was a bit of street noise heard from 2 of the downstairs bedrooms--otherwise, no problems at all. I would recommend this vacation rental for familys, as well as adult groups. A great value in the Tahoe Area. Thank you!

Please accept our deepest appreciation for providing refuge of peace, unmatched sunsets, and air so pure-that we are sad to leave-but all the more eager to return. as we do make our way home-we shall do so with family memories that no one can ever banish or remove. A new bond now exists that will most sincerely help us survive the tough times that any family encounters at some time or another.
