This was the perfect house for our family ski trip. The layout gave the six of us plenty of room to spread out but also cozy enough for movie nights after a long day on the slopes. The house was modern, well kept, very clean, and stocked with everything you’ll need. The location was central to both Heavenly ski resort (and South Lake Tahoe for apres ski) and Sierra At Tahoe. Overall, a great place to stay.

Comfortable and convenient

This home was inviting and comfortable with the owners responsive and adding those small details to make it feel like our second home. The location is in a quiet neighborhood but a quick 15min to thr center of action in S Lake Tahoe. I would recommend this place for any family looking to stay in the area.

Great place for a ski getaway

We had absolutely everything we needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The owners are especially thoughtful about providing little extras in supplies that might be needed. We had just a slight delay in getting the door code to work, but that was resolved super quickly.

A delightful cozy yet spacious cabin!

What a great stay we had! All you need are your personal items, this cabin has everything you could need. Cookware, games, snow toys, coffee, tea, wifi, tv. Super clean, close to Heavenly ski, restaurants, casinos, the lake. Safe, good neighborhood. It was like coming home on a cold winter day. We would definitely stay here again! Exce

Thanksgiving Family getaway

The house was perfect for my wife and I, along with our two kids and 4 grandkids. Very comfortable, clean and it had all the items we needed for a thanksgiving vacation. Everything worked properly and it felt like a cozy home in a perfect location. We will definitely consider staying again and recommend the house to our friends. All the Best and thanks for letting us use your home! TJ & Coni.

Perfect for Families

If you are visiting Tahoe with young children, this is the place for you!! Our 3 year old and 1 year old had so much fun with all the toys. It was a total bonus that they had a high chair, too. The kitchen was very well stocked with all the gadgets you could ever need. Kendra and Kevin are great hosts who responded to all of our messages within minutes - it is clear they take pride in their ownership of this property. We felt like we were staying at a family member’s home, not a rental property. Would stay again!

Amazing Home!

This home was big and beautiful with enough space for the entire family! The outside was gorgeous, our family was able to take pictures right outside, and sitting outside on the back porch in the evening made a relaxing end to some great days. The kitchen was spacious with many great accommodations, and the dishwasher made cleanup after meals super easy. The extra family game room upstairs really came in handy when in came to entertaining our youngest. Additionally, the movies and Netflix in the downstairs living room made us feel right at home, as if we were having a family movie night. Overall, the home we stayed in really enriched our entire experience overall.

The cabin was amazing! Very clean! A very well kept cabin with all kinds of supplies and necessities

Our family vacationed in this cabin with another family. It was an amazing cabin! The owner was very helpful, the cabin was very clean and well kept. We were amazed at how well stocked the place was and how many "extras" the owner had on hand. For example, inner tubes, sand toys, well stocked first aid kit, dvds, board games, etc. It was also VERY comfortable! We had kids with us and it was so nice to have the loft space where they could relax and watch a movie and the adults could hang out downstairs and watch their own movie if we chose to. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. The cabin had lots of seating for eating as well as lounging. Our overall experience was one of excellence and we would highly recommend this vacation rental to anyone!! Definitely coming back!

Lovely, immaculate cabin close to lake, waterfalls and hiking!

Thank you Kendra and Kevin for such a relaxing, fun and special time while staying at your beautiful vacation home! The cabin was so cozy and clean. The sofas were so comfortable, and the king bed in the master bedroom gave us a restful night’s sleep. The kitchen was fully stocked and a cook’s dream! It was enjoyable preparing meals in it, and the large open area in the living room and kitchen encouraged great conversations. We so enjoyed the games and movies provided as well as the raft and inner tunes for the lake. We had an amazing time at Pope Beach, Fallen Leaf Lake, and Glen Alpine Falls. We wanted to see Eagle Falls, but we ran out of time. We’ll have to plan on visiting another time and staying at your lovely place. Thanks again for everything! Judy & Anthony

Beautifully appointed and maintained house in gorgeous South Lake Tahoe. Great location has it all.

This house is the complete package with everything you could need for your family vacation to Lake Tahoe. They’ve thought of everything including bocci. Our bocci game improved with evening family bocci events. You’ll love it here.

Great Neighborhood

We had a great time staying at this property. We really enjoyed the neighborhood because it was very quiet, but less than a five minute drive to the Y where there’s some great restaurants and bars, plus only about a 10 minute drive to Camp Richardson/the Beacon. Growing up my family had a home in this neighborhood, and I love it. The house was clean, and spacious. Owners were very easy to communicate with and replied quickly. The listing is very accurate. If I had to make one “complaint” or a recommendation for future travelers, I would suggest if you can, bring your own pillow. The beds were fine, pillows not so much. But again this isn’t even close to a deal breaker for such an awesome property!

Thank you Jenna for the review, we are so glad that you had a great stay at South Tahoe Vacation Home! We are sorry to hear that the pillows were not as comfortable as you would have liked. With all the turnover, often the decorative pillow sham pillows gets switched with the more comfortable sleeping pillows. We also have extras that we could have provided had we known! We will definitely take the feed back and make sure that the pillows on the beds are revised! We look forward to hosting you again!

Gorgeous and clean

This was a very enjoyable stay in a nicely kept, well-stocked home. You can tell Kendra and Kevin are very organized and put a lot of thought in making the stay as enjoyable as possible for their guests. We had our 95-year parents stay in the master bedroom downstairs, and it was very convenient for them with minimum number of stairs to get into the house.

Great home in a great location

My family and I were able to experience Tahoe for the first time, and are so glad we found this home to stay during our trip. There were 6 of us, and the home fit all of us comfortably. We loved having the kitchen to make big family breakfasts in the morning before exploring more of what South Tahoe has to offer. They provided a lot of great information on where to go, good restaurants, hidden gems in the area, etc. My wife and I woke up early one morning and hiked around Fallen Leaf Lake, which was one of our favorite parts of the trip! Also, we went to Emerald Bay which is a must if you’ve never been before. Overall, we had a fantastic stay and hope to come back one day!

Excellent summer stay!

We had a wonderful time staying at this vacation rental. The location was perfect - close to downtown shops and the lake as well as Camp Richardson but far enough from the town so that evenings were quiet. The home was well furnished with all the amenities one would need. While it was hot during the week we stayed, the home was well insulated and comfortable despite no AC. Communications with Kendra the owner was easy and she was very responsive. As promised, their cleaners were excellent and the home was very clean. Will definitely stay again!

What a gem!

We absolutely love coming to South Lake and this house could not be situated in a more perfect location! The home is spacious and perfectly accommodated our 3 adults and 4 kiddos. Upon entry the cabin was immaculately clean and had everything one could need within the home for kids (kid friendly plates/cups, high chair, booster seat for toddlers, games, toys, etc.) and we LOVED all they had in their garage to use for the beach. We will 100% be booking again with these attentive and thoughtful home owners, what a beautiful home and perfect location!
