Owner's Response: This is our home and we take pride in it being an affordable family house in a great location. We have 100s of great reviews on 3 different rental sites and repeat guests that come enjoy our place year after year. It is hard for families to enjoy Tahoe at a reasonable price - our house is not fancy but has all the comforts of home and is meant to be enjoyed for up to 8 people. We have stocked the house with fun things for kids - toys, games, video games, bikes and baby equipment all so families can arrive and enjoy the home without having to transport these items along the way. I immediately regretted renting my home to this group on July 4th when they showed up with twice as many people then our house can handle. They booked the house for only one day and came with the sole purpose of packing in a lot of celebrating, leaving behind a huge mess. They left 4 large trash cans full (when they arrived there was a small container of recyclables there along with empty bins). This group showed no respect for my home. This is the report my cleaner gave me after it took 2 people 6 hours to put the house back together. "The house was a total mess when we got there and that is why it took 6 hours to clean. When I was doing laundry I noticed a ripped bed skirt that I had to throw away. It looks like they may have changed it out because they got into all of the linens that were bagged in the master bedroom. The whole house was in disarray. It took us an hour and half to put everything back where it belonged. The bathrooms were very dirty. If the house was so bad, why did they stay and use everything. The previous cleaning crew did not do a bad job. Everything was clean when they got there. They were probably thinking they were staying at an expensive high end house with granite counter tops etc. and so they were inconsiderate about the decor and furniture. But clearly they exceeded the maximum occupancy and that is why they complained because it wasn't fancy enough. Laundry takes a long time. Kitchen carpets were a mess and had to be washed. Garage needed to be swept out. Hot tub drained and cleaned. Bedrooms were also in disarray (comforters all over the place) and every towel was used. The refrigerator and microwave were a mess. Floors had to be swiffered twice. Lamps moved around. Light bulbs had to be changed etc. I know the group on the 4th was only only one night but it was a mess. All 4 garbage cans were full after being taken out the day before.
