We really enjoyed the steam room and sauna after a long day at the lake. I recommend you bring additional towels as there is only 1 set per person. The kitchen is stocked with most things you will need to prepare your meals. The neighborhood is nice, but you will typically hear dogs barking early in the am. Overall, we enjoyed our stay

Thank you for your review. I’m glad you enjoyed the steam room and sauna and that the kitchen had what you needed. I apologize that only one towel set per person was provided — we’ll ensure additional towels are available and update our guest information to recommend bringing extras. I’m also sorry about the early-morning dog barking; we’ll add a note to the listing about possible neighborhood noise. We appreciate you staying at Shining Shire and would welcome you back.

Wonderful Chalet

The chalet's location is excellent, and the property itself is wonderful. It was impeccably clean, with everything provided for a comfortable stay. We encountered a minor issue with a kitchen appliance, but it was resolved within hours.The property is well maintained, and we highly recommend it to anyone seeking a fantastic place to stay. 5 stars!!

Great house!

We so enjoyed our stay! House is clean, incredibly well stocked with every appliance and cooking device you could imagine, great dishes/glasses/literally everything you would need in the kitchen. Well designed home, bright and comfortable. I would probably say not the best house for small children or elderly due to steep stairs, but perfect for older kids/adults/dogs! Thank you for a great stay, we loved it!

Made our short trip to the snow special!

Clean house that has been thoughtfully built and decorated- good for a family or intimate friends trip! Went with our friends, their two kids (3 and 2 y/o) and our two dogs. Didn’t even need to go somewhere to play in the snow- lots of options in the front and side yard. We used the grill and had a nice staycation. All amenities were as stated and the kids enjoyed the toys the rental provided! After a day in the snow.. it was nice to curl up by the fire and warm up. One tip.. if going with kids or older dogs who can’t be around stairs, bring two sets of barrier /baby gate that’s about 3 feet wide to block off the stairs, as it’s a 3 level house.Hope to stay again! Thank you ;)

A very Happy Thanksgiving

The property was exceptional and was the perfect place for our Thanksgiving holiday week. Our teens loved having their own area to play games and watch movies, while mom and dad enjoyed plenty of privacy, an occasional steam, and LOTS of cooking in the well-appointed kitchen. We made bread with the breadmaker, smoothies with the blender, waffles with the waffle maker, a big turkey in the oven and even some ice cream with the provided ice cream maker. We also enjoyed watching the wildlife outside the big windows, including a wily coyote and a smaller bear that cruised the back fence one day... Thank you to the owners for opening their home and sharing all the wonderful amenities. We hope to be back again!

ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL HOME!My family of four spent five days at this rental for my son's 21st birthday. We wanted a place that was close enough to Tahoe so we could enjoy the town when we wanted, but also removed from the hustle and bustle. The location was perfect! We looked at so many rentals before deciding on this home. When you book a place to stay, you hope for the best. I can say when we entered this home our expectations were exceeded. It was beautiful, yet comfortable and cozy. We cooked the majority of our meals in and there was not one single thing we needed that this home didn't have. That was such a plus. We even saw a Mama Bear walking down the road AND her cub playing right off the deck where we bbq'd! If you're looking for a quiet and peaceful vacation house just a few minutes from town that comes fully stocked with everything you could need - this is the place!

The Modern Cabin

We arrived to find a lot of snow after the big storm, the road “ pebble beach” wasn’t in good shape and if you didn’t have 4wd you weren’t getting in there period. Fed ex truck was stuck for more than 4 hours blocking one direction of the road. The house was clean and the kitchen was very well stocked with everything you need, the only thing in the kitchen is that there is no pantry space to put your things away and all cupboard were full of things including 2 full drawers of pet stuff. Overall it was nice, might be a bit to modern when it came to bathrooms etc.

Great time. Couple of issues.

Honestly there were some issues, but considering it was a Christmas week I can understand the crew being very busy. When we first arrived I noticed that the place was not 100% clean. I’m not a big pet person and there was some definite dog hair and pet hair in some parts of the home. The internet had some issues and it took us a couple of days to fix it. The sauna was working and then it stopped working and it was just too much hastle to call management about this issue and try to make a stink about it on Christmas Eve. All in all the house was really nice. Very nice architecture. Outside of a couple of these issues we had a really good time. It’s a really nice home.

Hi Kirk, Thank you for taking the time to let us know about your stay! We're glad to hear that, overall, you enjoyed this lovely home. and thank you for your feedback. Although the cleaners do their best to clean the home as best as possible, the home is pet-friendly so it is common to have a few dog hairs unless a deep clean is completed. The internet can be a little testy at this home due to the location. If the sauna is turned up too high, it can cause it to turn off and it just needs to be reset! Safe travels back home!

Our trip started off pretty stressful. A tree fell on power lines along Route 50 while we were driving up, and we ended up waiting in Pollock Pines for about four hours before learning the road wouldn’t reopen. With a 6-year-old and a 7-month-old baby, we ultimately had to turn around, drive back down to Folsom, and book a hotel for the night. Unfortunately, since the reservation was nonrefundable, we lost the first night’s payment.Communication for the rental felt a bit impersonal. The responses seemed AI-generated, and when I sent a few messages with specific questions about the road closures. I received generic replies. A little more personalized communication would have made a big difference, especially given the circumstances.That said, the house itself is very nice. The steam shower and sauna were amazing after being out in the snow, and the fireplaces made the space feel warm and cozy. The downstairs video room was a big hit and perfect for relaxing in the evenings.A few small improvements: labeling the remotes and providing clearer instructions for the electronics would be helpful, the towels had a bit of a strange smell and likely need replacing, and the can openers were broken/hard to use.Other than those minor issues, we had a nice stay. We even saw three coyotes walking through the backyard, which was a memorable experience!Overall, once we finally arrived, we were able to relax and enjoy the home. Just wish we could have had that extra night.

Beautiful property with unique amenities!

We very much enjoyed our stay at the Shining Shire with just a few recommendations for improvement. On the plus side this is a great house for adults and teens with a poker table, x-box, many board games, and a varied movie library. Although the listing says the projector wasn't working we found that it did work and enjoyed movies in the evening after a game of poker and board games. We also enjoyed the extras like the Sauna, Bidet, Towel Warmer and Steam Shower. The location is great for riding bikes, getting to the best of Tahoe within 10-15 minutes, and we even spent an afternoon at the nearby Upper Truckee River. There is enough parking for vehicles. Areas of Improvement: 1. It is a pet friendly home, which we appreciated, bringing our dog, but there was an old urine odor in some of the sitting areas. This was reported to the management and they said they would notify the caretakers. 2. The coffee pot is very small. You might want to bring your own if you have more than two coffee drinkers. 3. We couldn’t find pot holders and there were some remotes that didn’t have working batteries. There is no air conditioning, which is common for Tahoe homes. This is more of information for future renters than recommendation for improvement. The men in our group were hot at night even with fans. If you run hot you might want to be aware. Finally be aware that there are three levels to this home with wooden stairs. It is not a good booking for anyone with mobility issues.

Driveway Issues

The only issue we had with this property was the ice on the driveway when we arrived, which rendered the driveway inoperable. We spent about an hour chipping away at the ice so that we could drive on it to get into the garage and unload our all wheel drive vehicle. We let the management company know what was going on, and within an hour a young man came to the property and poured rock salt like stuff on the driveway, which probably prevented additional ice issues overnight. However, the property manager (Lana) was awesome, as she went out of her way to make sure all of the ice was removed the next day, and we never had another issue with the driveway. Much gratitude to Lana for her efforts--she was a real pro and an pleasure to deal with!

Great

The house was beautiful and in a great location. Only thing to be that was a bit of an “issue” for us was the 2 flights of stairs, especially with a 2 year old running around. More of a personal issue, but we just needed to keep an extra eye out for our daughter making sure she wasn’t climbing up and down so she wouldn’t fall. Just an FYI for people with little kids. Overall though, it was an amazing stay, would definitely love to come back

Relaxing weekend stay

Our family had a great stay. We cooked, played games and had wonderful conversations. It was also a great location. We also enjoyed the modern accommodations like the sauna. I just wish the beds were a little bit more comfortable. We all felt that the mattress was sagging. Overall it’s a wonderful home! Thank you.
