The home was perfect for our two families. The location is beautiful and near amazing hiking trails. Access to the private beach was wonderful. The kitchen was stocked with all the necessary cooking accessories. We had a great time and highly recommend.

Chris, you folks were great, and we loved hosting you! We would love to welcome you back!
Amazing cabin not your typical short term rental. It’s like going to a friends cabin.

Thank you very much, Abbe! That is a wonderful review, and it's exactly what we were hoping for! We try to think of it as guests coming to our home, not renters. We do have family photos and similar items, but keep other personal stuff elsewhere. We want people to know Chuck & I are real people! We would love to welcome you back anytime!
The house was a perfect for our group! Very comfortable and in a great location. Great amenities and cooking / kitchen supplies. The private beach access was awesome.

Thank you, and we'd love to welcome you back- please remind me and we will provide an Alunmi discount. We bought this home afer having a small rustic place near Tahoma, that we found lacking in some ways, so we knew what we wanted when we saw it. We now have little grandchildren, so we were looking for a place that was family-friendly, but would also provide a bit of space when desired- thus we loved the downstairs family room for the youner generation(s) to hang out, play games watch T.V. Thanks again! Janine
A beautiful house in a beautiful spot uphill from the lake! Great mix of lake and trail access. Good, well-equipped, and comfortable home base for a week with extended family. Perfect for 8-10; 12 might have been a little tight, with kids and couples having to line up just right for the beds.

Hey, Andrew! Thank you so much for your great review! We are delighted you enjoyed your stay in our home. We bought it for several reasons, one of which was that it is great for two families- the parents and the kids have a bit of privacy and thei
The private beach resort made the trip. Great location near rafting and zip lining! Great layout of house for 2 families

I agree that the private beach is a huge asset! That is a big reason why we bought this home- we owned another more rustic cabin near Tahoma before this one, and we recognized how great it would be to have a place that could accommodate two families, with room for the adults to have their own space upstairs and the children downstairs. In total we have owned at Tahoe for over 30 years, and are very familiar with the West Shore and the beaches, so we recognized how great our private beach is. You are much more adventurous than I am- no zip line for me!
Comfortable and beautiful place! The kitchen was well-stocked and the house is very well set up for renters. Great communication with the owner.

Thank you, James! I know your trip didn't start off perfect, arriving at night right after the biggest storm of the year, so i appreciate your patience in dealing with snow issues!
However, I hope you enjoyed the bounty of snow the days after the storm passed!
We would love to welcome you back anytime!
Thanks, Janine
Beautiful house and close to the lake.
We really enjoyed the private beach area.
The only change we would add is newer patio furniture.
We had a wonderful weekend.

Thank you for leading your kind review Janice! You must be prescient, as we hope to spend time up in Tahoe soon and we are going to be shopping for outdoor furniture.
We hope to welcome you back!

Annually my family shares the New Year with my brother in-law and his family. This was a wonderful home and the host was extremely gracious. She communicated well and the home was as advertised.
Great host and great home. Thank you.
This is a great place to stay with a few families. Good size kitchen, family room and bedrooms. Parking is a little tough when you have big vehicles. I’m glad there wasn’t fresh snow/ice because it would be hard to park the vehicles. Would stay here again. Great communication with the owner.

Thank you! We were pleased to host you! We moved up to this home from a smaller, older cabin. We did it in a great part because we also thought it would be perfect for two families or extended family. Now that we have grown children and grandchildren, we find it perfect. We hope to welcome you back!
My family celebrated Thanksgiving at the home and had a wonderful time.
This home was perfect for all ages and also large enough to have some private space.
Everything was very clean and decorated to enhance the environment of the location.
The hosts are a pleasure to work with and very accomodating to any needs we had.
I highly recommend a stay in the summer or winter.

A Great Family Reunion Site!!
Our family had a great reunion at Talmont Timbers this past month. The beautiful house accommodated us perfectly with plenty of room, a wonderful kitchen area, and two secluded and very relaxing decks. We spent most of our time during the day at the Tahoe Beach Park which really cannot be beat. The house was well supplied with everything we needed. We will certainly be spending another vacation there soon.

We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay and our home! Your comments reflected some of the many reasons we love our second home– comfortable lay-out, secluded and spacious feel, great for gatherings. I agree that Tahoe Beach Park can't be beat! The beach has something to enjoy for everyone– it has a little bit of all the best things that you would want at a Lake Tahoe beach. We look forward to welcoming you back! Thanks again, Janine
Overall, the cabin was a great experience. It was as advertised. It really can sleep a large group. The kitchen is also well equipped with pots, pans, etc. All the appliances work well. It is also close to many conveniences and Lake Tahoe. The HOA private beach that you can access is really nice.

Thanks, Steve! We're glad you enjoyed our home! We have had a cabin in Tahoe for many years, but over the last 10 or so we started looking for a larger, newer, more private experience. When we saw this, we realized it was just what we wanted! But the Private Beach was what sold us! It really is exceptional. We would love to welcome you back! Please remind us that you are a returning guest and we will give you extra consideration!
We are a family of 5 and had two additional guests with us. This was the perfect spot. Plenty of room and a very spacious common space for all of us to enjoy. Location is great. Easy drive into Tahoe City for shopping and groceries. Janine is a great host. She was very helpful and accommodating. Would definitely stay here again.
