Sunlight streaming through the home makes such a difference, and we're glad that stood out to you. It sounds like the hot tub and the family room gave everyone good places to settle in and relax. Thank you for sharing your stay with us. We would love to welcome you back.

Cabin was very nice and clean. Loved the deck and fire pit. Stairs for hot tub need to be secured and hand rail provided.

Thank you for the review! We're glad the cabin was clean and comfortable, and that the deck and fire pit were highlights of your stay. We appreciate you flagging the hot tub stairs and the need for a handrail — that's a safety item we take seriously, and it's been passed along to our team right away. We'd love to welcome you back anytime!

This was such a lovely place! The neighborhood was both quiet and woodsy, while being close to amenities.It was so welcoming driving up with the outdoor lights lit. The house was thoughtfully laid out, the beds were super comfortable, and it was a perfect place for a Tahoe getaway.

Tahoe Vacation

The house was exactly as advertised and extremely clean and cozy. Check in process was flawless. We arrived at 1:30am on a cold night and to have check in a entry to work perfectly that was nice.

This property is as advertised. It’s clean and cozy with a modern touch. The inside of the home was very clean. However, the hot tub and exterior of the property was not clean. There was a finger nail and other assorted trash all outside the front steps of the deck. The hot tub was not clean enough to use. There was debris and scum all along the inside. Also a lamp is broken in the living room which made it really dark at night downstairs. Other than those things it was a really nice place to stay. It’s VERY quiet during the week there. Super close to beaches and dining. We would probably stay again I would just make sure the hot tub is cleaned properly prior to guest arrival.

Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review. We're glad the home felt clean, cozy, and true to how it's described, and that the quiet weekdays and easy access to the beaches and dining worked well for you. The condition of the hot tub and the exterior areas fell short of where they should be, and we've passed this along to our team right away so it's addressed properly. The lamp has been flagged for repair as well. We appreciate you letting us know, and we hope to have the chance to host you again.

Clean and comfortable

As soon as we open the door we had a great feeling with tv on with views of Tahoe video playing, fireplace on, basket of hot tub towels near the back deck door..Very clean and well stocked. Very relaxing deck with picnic table and plenty of outdoor chairs with fire pit. Highly recommended just keep in mind there is not a garage to put bikes motorcycles ect.. only downside for us really everything else was great

It’s great to hear you enjoyed the relaxing deck and outdoor features. We appreciate your note about the lack of garage space and will keep that in mind. We hope to welcome you back soon!

Our stay at Indigo Owl was okay (3.5 stars). The cabin was nice enough but there were little issues that detracted from the overall experience given what we paid for the cabin. The hot tub water was a little green. The grill needs to be replaced or fixed - the heat deflector was rusted and didn't disperse heat well. There was a load of wet washed laundry in the washing machine from the previous guests that we didn't discover until we were doing our check out duties. A light bulb was out in the upstairs bathroom. Kitchen issues: broken drawer next to the dishwasher that was near impossible to open and close; no Saran Wrap, baggies, foil (I understand this isn't a given but we often see these items at cabins); no baking sheet; very few drinking glasses (tons of coffee mugs!).Overall, our experience was just okay. I wouldn't stay there again.

Thank you for the balanced and specific notes on the cabin. We're sorry the small things added up during your stay. The hot tub has been professionally serviced and is receiving a full additional treatment, and your full list, from the grill and kitchen items to the laundry left from the prior turnover, has been shared with the team responsible for the home so the cabin's preparation is reviewed against it directly. We appreciate you bringing these concerns to our attention.

We absolutely loved this home and our stay! I really wanted to give this 5 stars but have three small issues with our stay.1- The cleaners were still there at check in and we were waiting outside for them to finish, not the end of the world, but after an 8 hour drive, we wanted relaxation.2- We had not garbage bags to replenish the one in the garbage can. Again, not a big deal, we used the bathroom and bedroom cans until Advantstay delivered more the next morning (thanks!)3- There were several mice scurrying around the downstairs level and definitely can pose a health hazard.Overall we enjoyed our stay!

Thanks for sharing your experience, Dustin! Sorry about the wait during check-in and the missing garbage bags—we’re glad we could get those to you quickly. We take the mice issue seriously and are working to fix it right away. We appreciate your understanding and hope to welcome you back for an even better stay!

We had an amazing stay at this cabin! The location was perfect. It was peaceful, quiet, and surrounded by beautiful scenery, yet still conveniently close to everything we wanted to do. The cabin was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed to feel at home. Communication with the host was excellent, and the check-in process was simple and hassle-free. We couldn’t have been happier with our stay and would absolutely choose this cabin again on our next trip. Highly recommend!
