Nice cabin for family of four

We did a ski trip and stayed here with our two kids. Definitely a little small, but great for our needs. Kids loved the bunk beds.

Comfortable base camp

Our buddy (5'10") fit comfortably in the bunk bed and the location is convenient for both mountain and lake access. There are plenty of food options right nearby. I appreciate how well laid out (and spotless) the unit is.Sway was very helpful when we had questions and the whole process was easy and relaxing.

We really enjoyed our stay. Our room was clean and comfortable, and we liked the location. The cabins set back from the road and it was quiet. It was a relaxing location.

Great place to stay in South Lake Tahoe. It was clean and well stocked. The location is placed well, close to restaurants and state parks. The host was communicative, and the check-in and check-out process went smoothly. It was the perfect place to stay for our trip.

Tournament Stay

We came for a soccer tournament. This location was close to the fields. It’s a very cute cabin that you can go and relax. It has a nice hang out area outside which was great with the kids. The lake also is very close! We would stay again.

Great for a short trip!

Went here with some friends for a weekend ski trip and was not disappointed! It is in a great location where it is quiet, but still close to the town and ski resort. The owner is also incredibly nice and patient and helped us out so much when we had any questions or needed help. Would love to come here again.

This condo is clean and comfortable, easily accessible. It is also walking distance to food and a quick drive to the slopes at Heavenly. The host checks in daily to see if anything is needed and is incredibly responsive. My group of 3 snowboarders agree we would definitely stay here again!

Everything was perfect!

Our entire stay was absolutely amazing! We had everything we could possibly need in our room - from blankets and spare towels, to travel coffee cups for our morning adventures. Everything was clean and comfortable, too. Check-in and check-out were a breeze. We had one slight hiccup with the bathroom sink clogging up, and when we brought it to Sway & Ashley’s attention they had someone out to fix it ASAP. The outdoor gathering area was so cute and friendly, too! Thanks for a great first stay in Tahoe!

Just as expected

Worked out perfect for myself and 2 kids. The host was great, and helpful . A suggestion- it would have been helpful to have access to a broom since we went to the beach. Also - storage could be improved by adding a self in the bathroom above the towel racks for toiletries , and one near to the tv to make more room on the counter.

Cozy Cabin

Tiny cabin for family of 4 (2 teenage kids)for a whole week, but its what was advertised. Great location and communication with host. Fan/light kept coming on in the middle of the night, which woke us up and gave us away to a mama bear getting in the trash w her 3 cubs! Need more bear signage and encouragement for other guests to close dumpster, or move dumpster. I agree w previous review for shelves in bathroom. Also could change bedding for summer use, especially wo AC. Would stay again in a bigger cabin!

June midweek stat

Perfect for what I needed. Great common area was a bonus I had not anticipated. Fire pit tables and BBQs under a canopy of trees. I was able to back my car up to the entrance which was convenient for loading / unloading. Great communication with property manager, and I could see the care being taken by maintenance staff to have everything outside clean and ready for use.

Cute property

Small but extremely well appointed property with fridge, microwave, keurig and they include coffee pods, tea bags and even honey for tea, compost friendly utensils and plates. Lots of closet space. One thing to point out the cabin walls are cabin walls so can be thin and the furnace was loud, but my kids slept through it. The host even includes a white noise machine.

Good

The property manager was great, responsive, and helpful. Although the cleanliness of the room was not that great, the host offered to send someone to clean which was nice. Also, the heater was very loud if you’re used to sleeping in silence. Some ear plugs would have helped but I didn’t have any at the time. The shower was clogged so the water built up. Again, the host offered to send someone but I declined since we were not staying long. All in all, the room was okay for a night but I probably would not stay longer than that. I really appreciated the host tried to make things right with the issues we had. I would have given 5 stars if the room was cleaner and the heater wasn’t so noisy.
