This is an extremely comfortable house in South Lake Tahoe. Our teenagers loved the game room in the garage as well as the arcade game in the bonus room. Check in was smooth with lots of clear and helpful information. Fully stocked kitchen was great. We would definitely rent this house again. The Welcome Package was a nice bonus - thanks!

Convenient location in the Meyers community for a short drive to the lake/beach, as well as trails for hiking and biking. Also a short drive to the slopes, restaurants, and shopping. Cozy living area w/fireplace and well stocked kitchen re pots/pans and dinnerware. Large backyard and overall quiet area.

Great stay!

We were in Tahoe for a wedding, and this place was the perfect size and location for two couples to share! It was clean and comfortable, and the welcome package was really nice. The property management checked in via text while we were there and were very communicative. Overall, it was a great stay!

Everything was very comfortable, the kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked, and overall it was a fantastic place to stay!I wish I’d known in advance that there was a hot tub and extra beds, as I would have brought a bathing suit more friends on the ski trip, but on the whole, I am very happy with the accommodations!

House was great and very clean and accommodating for our family. Check in process was a little longer with having to sign some additional forms prior to getting check in info. However, once complete had the check in details in 10 minutes. Recommend this property for other families visiting Tahoe.

The house is adorable and has all the amenities. Lots to keep us busy with games, etc. Jacuzzi was nice and so was the ping pong. Everyone had their own space to sleep. A little bit from town but not too bad. Would love to stay here again.

Long weekend at Heavenly

We made this reservation sort of last minute for busy Presidents Weekend. The house was fine. Beds were super comfy. Kitchen is nice but the pots and pans were super old, so not appealing for cooking. The "rec room" is actually the garage which was freezing cold so basically unusable in the winter. The hot tub was nice to use, but also hard to get the cover on and off and to trudge through the snow. Overall, a fine trip, but probably wont stay here again.

We felt spied on/watched very uncomfortable!

We felt as if we where being watched and It Was very hard to enjoy the trip as the owner texted an called EVERY day ALL day for Every little thing. If your looking to enjoy the weekend peacefully this is NOT the location. Was very annoyed 😒 I will never return an I wouldnt recommend it anyone. These people shouldn't rent the house out in my opinion.

We notified guests on the first night because of a bear sighting, breaking into the guest's car and did not want them to incur damage. The need to check in at first it was to help them, however, we then realized the guest had too many people and cars, were loud and overall clearly here to party and not enjoy the weekend peacefully. Most guests have a great time at this home, but unfortunately all hosts need to be on high alert in Tahoe due to the strict local laws.

Perfect house for quick getaway!

We stayed at this property the weekend of the Valhalla Renaissance Fair. We had to contact the property manager because the code wasn't working. But he responded quickly and got us into with another code. Once inside the house was SO cute! There was an awesome gift bag full of little goodies and a personalized card that the owners left us. I truly appreciate their thoughtfulness! The highlights of this rental are the garage which is full of things to do. We played ping pong, shot darts and played shuffle board. The hot tub was huge! The kitchen was beautiful! Fully remodeled with a Keurig Coffee Maker! There is no primary bathroom upstairs. But the bathroom you share with the other bedroom is big and very nicely updated. The floors do creak quite a bit but that's to be expected with the age of the home. The skylight was a nice touch in the primary bedroom. You could see all the stars at night. We did have to contact the property manager several times for little things. But they responded quickly and sent people out to fix the issues. We definitely would stay here again! It's quiet and still fairly close to all the action in South Lake Tahoe!

Worst VRBO experience

The house itself is great...clean, has everything you need. Unfortunately that’s the only positive about the house; turnkey has poorly managed this place. We had grave concerns after a stranger walked onto the property and was aggressive about turning off the propane grill our first night in the house (although it was allowed since it was not a red flag day, then proceeded to call the cops. When the sheriffs arrived at 9:20pm, they stated they had to check out the complaint, although quiet time and the outdoor hot tub is allowed till 10pm and to make sure to go inside by then. The next day management sent out two men unannounced to the house and proceeded to take away the propane tanks. The two strangers had access to our house, no forms of ID, and when turnkey was called, there was no information regarding this request and had to investigate who put the request in and how come I was never notified. After spending 3 hours on the phone, there was a resolution. DO NOT stay at this property unless you want to be hassled by management, neighbors and whoever else doesn’t want VRBO apart of this neighborhood.

Hi Maddy, Thank you for taking time to leave this review. We are happy to hear that you found the house to be great, clean and everything you needed. Regarding the situation that you faced, we apologize for any confusion and inconvenience concerning the use of propane during high fire season. Red flag warnings were intermittent with varying city and county mandates, so propane tanks were removed as a safety precaution. We regret that you were not notified prior to TurnKey arriving at the home and not waiting until your departure. Please know that we have since discussed this with the team and they now fully understand the importance of alerting guests to any visits or situations that may affect them. If there is anything else that we can do to make your experience better, please do not hesitate to reach out and let us know. – The TurnKey VR Team

Unfortunate Stay

I have to be very very honest! My family and I were looking forward to spend time in Tahoe and get away from the busy work life in the city. We checked in a day late and came to a home that was very hot. I had to rely on the fans and open windows to kind of keep it clean. Furthermore, when we finally got ready to go to bed, I discovered the sheets to the main bed contained an oily substance (possibly baby oil). My wife was very grossed out and asked to check the kids beds… we discovered the two other beds were also dirty. One bed had someone’s hair while the other bed had someone’s old dirty socks. This tells me that the bedding had not been washed. The walls in the rooms had stains and the home had cob webs in various areas. I notified management asap. We stayed up until 2am waiting on the wife to wash the sheets for all beds. Management attended to the issue and provided new sheets and refunded a little more than the cleaning fees as a kind gesture. In this day and age, the rental properties need to be in tip top shape and the owners need to know that hygiene is very important especially with COVID. It is not right for a guest to arrive a day late and still come to find that the sheets are dirty and have to stay up till 2am washing the sheets or hair and socks that do not belong to you! It is just unacceptable! The cob webs… it doesn’t take but only a few seconds to wipe those off with the broom. If there were cob webs that tells me the the cleaning crew hasn’t been doing their job! The home had a lot of potential and things for the kids to enjoy but far it was far from enjoyable because of how dirty is was. I instructed the wife not to do the beds so the cleaning crew could come and really wash the sheets and do the bed for the next guest.

The sheets were all washed yet one did have a stain on it that did not come out. We acted quickly to resolve their issues and gave them a substantial amount of money back so it’s a shame that this lovely home was still given this review. We have since switched cleaning companies so future guests should never have this issue again. We feel this review stemmed from the guests arriving late during a heat wave vs the actual condition of the home. Please read the other reviews for this home that are much more accurate. Thank you.

Peaceful

The family really enjoyed our first trip to Tahoe. Serenity Woods was a great place to come back to after activities and long days out. I was a little worried about noise complaints as my children can get a little loud at times but we had no issues during our stay. The house has a cozy cabin feel to it and had everything we needed. We all enjoyed playing ping pong in the garage/game room and will likely be purchasing a table for ourselves at home. If you are looking for a vacation home in a peaceful setting away from the casino hustle and bustle I would highly recommend you give it a try.

Great family vacation home

We had a great time staying at this house. From the house amenities (ping pong!) to morning coffee on the back deck surrounded by trees and watching chipmunks scamper, it was perfect. There was everything we needed and more. Our only issues were bonking our heads on the slanted roof upstairs and that it is located a good distance from downtown. On the other hand, it's pretty near Pope, Kiva, and Baldwin Beaches. And it's blissfully quiet. We'd definitely consider staying again!

Great time.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall, we were happy and had a great trip. Everything was great except the gas gill was dirty and out of propane (as was the fire pit propane). The issue was resolved within 24 hours after a few phone calls. A man came out to clean the grill and change the tanks. He did a very thorough job and the company called to follow up to make sure it was taken care of.

Great family spot

We were looking for a place where we could entertain ourselves for a week and this place was perfect for it. We had plenty of space for the 4 of us, we used just about all the entertainment options, with the ping pong table, shuffleboard, horse shoes, ring toss, cornhole, and multiple uses of the hot tub. We toasted smores over the fire pit, laid out on the upper deck to watch for shooting stars during the meteor shower, played video games in the upstairs bedroom, although the Wii wouldn't work for us, we were able to hook a Switch up to it easily enough. We watched Netflix and DVDs we brought in the family room, and played plenty of board games that we had brought up with us, although a couple that were at the house looked interesting as well. It was a short drive to town to get food and there were lots of options available there. The neighborhood was nice to walk in and was right up against a national forest that was nice to hike in.
