My wife and I purchased this condo in Jan '05 and spent most of 2005 remodeling it. We welcomed our first guest Dec. 17th, 2005. Here's some comments from guests who have stayed at our condo:
Kimberli B. from San Anselmo, CA: "We had a terrific time at your condo near Alpine Meadows. Everything worked perfectly. The room setup was very good and we really appreciated your towels and linens. The whole place was really very well equipped. The proximity to Alpine Meadows meant that we could take the shuttle up the hill, when our 2-wheel drive van couldn't make it. We look forward to staying again next year."
Andy G: "This was a great experience. The rental process was smooth, straight forward, and delivered as promised. 7 of us stayed in the condo and found the kitchen well stocked with cooking utensils, we found we were plenty warm with the pellet stove and floor heaters, there were plenty of towels, the place was very clean and roomy, and the hot tub was an added bonus. We enjoyed a 10 minute drive straight to Alpine Meadows Resort as well as being only minutes from main roads/freeways. Thanks for helping make a very fun vacation."
Sonal P. from San Francisco: "We had a great time-thanks for renting the condo to us! My friends loved the place!...Thanks for the clean linens and towels!! We hope to be back in the future sometime and will certainly be referring others to your listing!"

Why the Owner Chose Alpine Meadows
Lake Tahoe is the perfect vacation destination with great year round recreation. The north shore of Lake Tahoe is nice because it is less crowded than south shore and we really enjoy getting on the bikes & riding into Tahoe City & along the West shore of Lake Tahoe.
The Unique Benefits at this Luxury Condominium
There's a new year-round hot tub on our deck with a great view of the stars and the Sierras. The summertime pool in the complex is seldom crowded. The complex also has a nice grass area & basketball court. The River Ranch is a short walk for great dining & drinks or stop by the deli across the street for breakfast & lunch overlooking the river. Great hikes, biking, rafting all a short distance from our condo.

Thanks for checking out our guestbook. My wife & I purchased the condo 01-05 and spent almost a year remodeling. Our kids have a great time playing here and are always sad when we leave. We welcomed our first VRBO guest on 12-17-05 and everyone so far has enjoyed their stay!
