The house was great. The location is convenient for hitting different spots around Tahoe. Hot tub was fun. Nice neighborhood. What I thought could be better. They need new pillows, or bring your own. There were a lot of spiderwebs, a few spiders we had to kill in the bedrooms. I think it had been a while since someone stayed is why, could use a good clean before guests arrive. Overall, I would stay again. Great time on our vacation. Thank you!!

Very nice location. Close to sunnyside, Tahoma. I appreciated all the bear safety gear & fortunately did not have any bear issues. Lovely vacation for our family of 5.

Nice property with good amenities! Hosts were pretty quick to respond when we inquired. We enjoyed the place! I would give it a 4.5 for slightly roughed up furnishings here and there but definitely not enough to dock it down to a 4

Tahoe Family Trip

Wonderful home in a quiet neighborhood close to the lake, beaches, shopping and great restaurants. The house was well equipped with everything you could need. Great for 6 people and having a half bathroom is a plus. Would definitely rent again.

Great house near Tahoe City

I rented this house for a quick girls weekend. Everything was great! House was clean and had everything we needed. The spa was clean and relaxing. Management was always helpful and easy to reach with any questions I had. I definitely recommend this house.

Property Images

The images posted on the website did not accurately reflect the status of the property. Images portrayed a recently updated and clean property where as it was old and not very clean or updated. It was overall disappointing to us.

4 stars

Overall we enjoyed our stay here. The home is in a great location, close to the lake, stores, etc. The hot tub and sauna are the best features of this place. The hot tub was actually hot and pretty roomy. The sauna was really nice too. The beds were comfy but the bed frame was too bulky for the small room so we kept bumping into the sharp corners when walking by. Also the place looked a bit bigger on the photos tbh, but it’s not too big of a deal. Something I really didn’t like though, was that a lot of the mugs in the cupboard were dirty and looked like someone just drank coffee from them and then put them back and the coffee already dried up in them. The milk frother was also not washed. Just unpleasant :/ Overall our stay was good, I think the hot tub and sauna definitely made up for the other little things but I’d really suggest whoever cleans this place to do a better job and make sure all the dishes are clean.

Thunder Lodge 9/7-9/11/23

Beautiful outdoor location, as well as interior decor. Steam room and jacuzzi both available but went unused. Our brief stay took us out and about. All furniture was comfortable EXCEPT the leather couch in LR. Couch needs to be replaced. Fun games were available but we had brought our own. Great Kitchen appliances were available for use. Made great use of appliances and cookware but brought our own stock of food, seasoning and coffee. The overall unit was primarily clean except for kitchen island table. We washed pots & pans before AND after our usage. Kitchen trash and Bear Bins (outside) were all FULL upon our arrival. We couldn’t empty kitchen trash with bear bin full. Bear bin was not emptied until our third day at the cabin. NOT impressed with stair cases up to living room/kitchen and down to bedrooms. I guess I missed the description or pictures that said this was a tri-level unit. Both the STEPS and RAILINGS are unsafe. a. Steps are STEEP and metal hand railing too flexible. & insufficient length. One guest had to BEND DOWN to be able to grab hand rail at either stair location. b. Double-check California structure code!!!! c. NOT a disable-friendly unit. Bath area rugs need GRIPPER bottoms - unsafely slip. HRG staff always courteous. Overall, unit too unsafe for my group but enjoyed our stay in spite of issues.

Thank you for your review. We're sorry to hear that Thunder Lodge didn't suit your needs, but you're the first group to mention safety issues. We do not advertise this property as a disabled-friendly unit, and the photos accurately depict the layout of the home. Although the kitchen trash definitely should not have been full upon your arrival, at popular rentals the outdoor bear bins are sometimes full from previous renters. We encourage renters to call and notify us of situations like this; we would have been more than happy to empty the bins for you. We're glad to know that, in general, you enjoyed your stay and hope we can host you again at a property that's more appropriate for your needs.

cozy home near lake Tahoe

Stayed here with a group of friends. Comfortable home with a nice big hot tub. Actually the nicest hot tub I've seen but temp locked at 104 degrees. I would recommend lowering temp and providing more towels. we felt there wasn't enough body towels for 6. There was a washer and dryer which helped. The kitchen is well stocked and we were able to cook and bake a lot. The beds were comfy and the location is close to main attractions. There were some crumbs/popcorn on the floor when we arrived, the previous guests may have made a mess that was difficult to clean. the patio table was a nice touch and allowed for a peaceful meal in the back. communication with management was easy. overall a pleasant stay.

Thank you for your review and we're glad you enjoyed your stay! We do let you know in our summer discloser and rental agreement that we provide one set of towels for max occupancy of the home and we encourage people to bring additional towels/beach towels as needed. Thank you also for the feedback about the floor - we'll address this right away with our cleaners.
