Great cozy home

Enjoyed our stay in this cozy cabin. The property manager was very responsive and allowed us to extend our stay on short notice. No issues, and lots of space for a family. Games/toys were a nice added touch.

Perfect place

Spent 3 days/2 nights here with my family and friends. The home was large, clean, and a great space to accommodate all of us. The home was exactly as pictured and had everything we needed for our stay. The House is in great condition, with an open communal area of the kitchen, and living & dining room for all of us to congregate in. Large driveway to accommodate all our cars.

Great Summer House!!

Great location for water sports and shopping! And the photos do not lie!! Fully stocked, clean, and roomy!! Had a little trouble with internet, but local contact was ready and available to see to it. The kids loved the back room to play games and the adults thoroughly enjoyed the comfort of the great room. We couldn't use the built in outdoor grill, as it required our own wood - wood fires are discouraged... but we managed with the tiny portable grill. Towels are plentiful as are linens for beds. Loved the supplied toiletries, too - something we didn't expect!! We will definitely return!!

Disliked: Cleanliness, communication
This cabin was beautiful and fit our needs, however, as we stayed in the summer, it had a noticeable mouse problem. There were rodent droppings in the bedrooms and the linens had clearly not been changed, as there were crumbs and rodent droppings in the sheets and on the bed frame of one of the upstairs beds. We requested help from the host, and they offered to move us to a new cabin. We waited for hours for the host to update us with check-in instructions, which never came. We had to call emergency maintenance after hours to get our check-in instructions for the new cabin, and move after dark. The second cabin was much smaller and not as nice, but for the same price, and the second cabin also had mouse droppings in every single corner. In the end we did stay at the cabin, and it had great potential but is not well managed. In raising my concerns about cleanliness of linens and the second cabin as well as the total lack of communication by the host, we were told "we do our best to proactively manage wildlife" and given less than a night of refund. I do not recommend Tahoe Rental Company.

Comfortable for Multigenerational Family

Great house for time with extended family, ages 6 through 79! Lots of open spaces, a well-appointed kitchen, comfy beds, and nice amenities. Also in a fabulous “old Tahoe” neighborhood just steps from hiking and biking trails. Would definitely stay again!

Overall a very nice place

I’m happy with my decision to pick this property. It was clean, fully equipped with kitchen stuff and children stuff, roomy but also cozy. The only problem we have is the heating system because we were didn’t really know how to adjust it or if it is adjustable at all, but it doesn’t really bother us much. Will come back next year!

Tahoe cabin stay

Overall it is a great fit for our needs, just a few issues this year that weren’t an issue previous years. The dryer wasn’t working properly and the tv remote was missing. The fold up couch bed was folded up with dirty sheets and a towel accidentally but everything else was clean and tidy. The downstairs toilet runs so a jiggle of the handle was necessary to get it to stop. Overall we enjoyed our time there, just a couple of little things need to be addressed before the next guests arrive. Thank you!
