This is an amazing location. Just 3 minutes to local restaurants and shopping. The house is easy to find and there was enough space for our guests. The bunk room was enormous, and it was fun for our family and friends to bunk together.
I made a big mistake in violating the no dog rule. I accepted responsibility and was informed of the $250 penalty, and I agreed to it also. Even though our dog was only there one night, I still violated the house rule. It has been two weeks and I have yet to finalize the penalty because of lack of communication with Tahoe Rentals. I have patiently waited for my final bill and still no email to confirm total. Also, our dog had been triple coat shed the day before we rented, still we violated the rule, but her shedding was kept to a minimum. There was a neighborhood dog who kept trying to enter the back door throughout the weekend. I would be aware and don't allow him/her in. It seemed very accustomed to the house.
According to Tahoe Rentals we have other charges coming but they were only specific to one charge. Apparently, they said that someone threw up in the front yard. All members of our house concur that nobody was drunk, and no one saw any activity of the sort. We had 15 (with help from the neighbors) loading our van and cars full of our belongings. One of us would have easily come across it while loading. It would have been hard to miss. Possibly a neighbor? There was a party up the street around the corner.
The house seems to have plenty of toys, but I would ask if they are available to renters. I saw kayaks, chair, and even snow shoes (I think). They seemed tempting, but I didn't want to assume permission.
The kitchen is well equipped and modern. What lovely appliances including a five-burner gas stove. The fire place, garage remote, vacuum cleaner, and broom were all not working. We borrowed some from the neighbors (my sister- in-law) two doors down.
A guest took a bath upstairs in the master bath and a leak sprung flooding the down stairs. We had to split the ceiling to drain the water out. It looks as if it had been patched multiple times previously.
The rest of the house seems dated and musty. It is a mid-80's style. The beds are cozy. There is an abundant number of towels and linens. There was a nice supply of spices in the kitchen.
We loved our stay, just didn't connect on all levels.
But it was all about the location for us. However, it shouldn't take 2 weeks to close out.
Thank you!
