Chef Dave's Lodge, 9 bedroom/5 bath

We’re glad we choose this destination for our family reunion. The weather was perfect and the lake is beautiful. The house was big enough for all of us to have our own rooms. I wish the living space was larger but overall it couldn’t of went any better. The kitchen with the double ovens came in handy, unfortunately it made the house pretty warm but we made it through. The rental staff was jolly on the spot with anything we needed and very friendly. I will keep them in mind next time we’re coming to this part of Nevada. Thanks for making our stay and experience special.

We had a family reunion of three generations around the States come together for a stay in July. All of us had different interests whether it be hiking, beaches, casinos, shopping, boating, grilling, or relaxing this was a great location with wonderful rental hospitality. We had quick and accurate answers to questions through all planning stages (When searching the web, one search produced an inaccurate floor plan with three kitchen tables and two refrigerators). Plenty of parking for our 7 cars. House had plenty of bath and wash towels, no hand towels. Due to remodeling, there should be a short pool stick for better enjoyment. Small suggestions for an overall wonderful stay.

We came with 21 family members and had a great time. Management was kind and helpful when we ran out of supplies in the house. We loved having the 9 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, that was perfect for our group. The kitchen was very well equipped and there was plenty of everything except bowls and cups for children. The only dilemma that we ran into was that the living area is not large enough to accommodate the large group that are filling up the 9 bedrooms. There are 2 couches and a few stools for the whole gathering. One refrigerator doesn't accommodate this size group as well. My suggestion would be to put a spare fridge where the linen closet is or downstairs at the end of the hall where the extra space is. And to take out that ninth bedroom next to the living area and expand so that the large group of people have a place to gather together instead of being force to their rooms. We did have a great time and the house is well maintained.

Chef Dave's lodge has several nice ammenties. The kitchen appliances, bathrooms are very nice. The house basically is set up as a skiers dormitory. Lots of bedrooms. We slept in the master bedroom which was okay. Our family/guests felt the beds in their rooms were uncomfortable and probably should be replaced. The televisions definitely should be replaced.

Only 3 of them actually had cable boxes and they were very small. None of them are smart tv's which meant nobody could connect to wifi to watch anything.

The family room was poorly furnished and not much room. The furniture wasn't very comfortable, the tv is small and the pool table is in an akward position. We tried many times to light the gas fireplace unsuccessfully. The gas grill isn't the greatest and is outside the master bedroom on the deck. That being said, this home has the potential of being a beautiful vacation spot. We had a great time with our family and friends, which is what counts. So, if Dave decides to take my advice :) We'll definitely rent this house again!

Overall, our stay was a lot of fun. There were plenty of beds to accommodate everyone and lots of parking. The kitchen is very well stocked and has just about anything you could possibly need. Lots of towels and plenty of toiletries to go around (you can always pick up more at their office). However, there were a couple hiccups. The kitchen faucet barely ran any water. The pullout couch in the living room was broken. The gas part of the grill leaked gas. The stairs are also very steep and we had at least 5 people slip and fall on them, one of whom needed chiropractic care. Also the living room space is pretty small considering how many people the house is meant for. But all in all we had a great stay and made it work. Tip for future renters, bring games for kids. Besides a pool table there is nothing to entertain the kids with.
