The property was a bit more dated than it appeared in the photos. The living room carpet was noticeably dirty, some of the couch pillows had tears, and the back deck/porch could have been swept and cleaned better, as it was a little sticky. Overall, though, the inside seemed as clean as it could be considering the age and condition of the property.Unfortunately, the stress actually started before we even arrived. About two hours before check-in, while we were already traveling to the property, we were contacted and asked to complete additional steps for the check-in process. I get car sick, so trying to handle this while traveling was especially frustrating. This is something that should have been verified and taken care of the day before, rather than just a couple of hours before guests are scheduled to arrive. For a period of time, we weren’t even sure whether we would be able to enter the property when we got there. We eventually got everything cleared up, but the last-minute approach created unnecessary stress .We also experienced several maintenance issues during our stay. The refrigerator took almost an entire day to get cold enough to properly keep our food and drinks cool, and the ice maker was not working correctly. The sliding door in the main bedroom also became stuck open, and we ended up having to sleep with it open overnight. Thankfully, nothing came inside, but being in Tahoe, we were understandably concerned. Not a care free vacay.
