Great place for a holiday/weekend stay

Great host, very nice, clean, well-equipped, cosy, spacious and holiday-decorated house, located aside from a highway yet within walking distance to Lake Tahoe. We all did enjoy celebrating the New Year in your place. Thank you Sarah!!

Great stay!

The place was super home-y and was perfect for a family weekend! We brought our dog and the back yard area was perfect to take him out for walks. Only 23 minutes for Palisades Tahoe. Sarah was also super accommodating and flexible with early check in and late check out, which was much appreciated so we could get more skiing in while allowing our dog to be at home. Would highly recommend stay here!

Wonderful few night stay in a great house!

Our 20-something kids wanted a few days of December skiing and we booked this house. It was lovely. Great community space for spending time together, cooking, eating, etc. Lots of personal touches in the house, and the three equal - ranking bedrooms worked well for our crowd. Highly recommend. Thanks for a great stay!

Great place!!!

There were 6 of us staying at the home and it was perfect. The house is very clean, well stocked, and great location. Owners were very helpful throughout process and couldn’t have been a smoother process. Only upgrade I’d recommend are new beds, they weren’t horrible but just weren’t to the quality of the rest of the home. Overall, great spot and would definitely stay again

Wonderful stay with friends and family

We stayed here with our dog and some friends with their two small children. The house was a perfect base for exploring Lake Tahoe and Donner Lake. Great communication with the host, easy check-in, and a nice house! The kids especially enjoyed the backyard and giant TV for watching movies, and our dog enjoyed the short walk to a dog-friendly beach where she swam every morning. There is a grill and cute outdoor area for eating dinner and hanging out. Would highly recommend for a family or small group of friends, we would happily come stay again.

LOVE this home!

Out of all of the short-term rental properties I have stayed at, this was my favorite! The check-in process was simple and easy, and the host was always responsive and helpful with any and all questions we had about to place. The location was perfect, with access to all of North Tahoe’s activities and restaurants, and the neighborhood was quiet and quaint. Everything was as-described in the listing, and the host went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we need. My group absolutely loved the place and would definitely want to stay here in the future!

Great Property

My wife and our 3 month baby enjoyed our stay. Overall great experience and the property manager was very responsive. Went above and beyond making sure we had everything we needed. The house is dog friendly so we did find lots of dog hair, but that’s somewhat to be expected and was very clean other than that. Updated appliances worked well and furniture was comfy! We would stay here again for sure!

Fabulous family fun in comfortable home

Perfect rental for our family near the lake and the mountains. This was the nicest of three vacation rentals our extended family used. Great set up: three upstairs bedrooms share a bathroom, plus a full bathroom downstairs. The ground floor has lots of room between the kitchen, dining area, sitting space, and a small game area. Everything looks brand new. Outside in back find room to walk under the trees. Great location. Frequent communication. Nest thermostat. Can’t say enough good about this home to share. This is a keeper.

Well decorated Tahoe A Frame

Cute cabin with nice thoughtful boho chic decor throughout. We had a great stay overall. Things that were great: Location- close to the small beach Large updated cute kitchen and nice long dining table Comfortable beds and couches Large TV for movie nights A few things we were surprised by: The front side of the property isn’t featured on the listing so I was a little surprised when we pulled in and the porch was a bit run down/lots of peeling paint. There aren’t any window coverings in the two larger bedrooms which made for early wake ups during our summer stay. Overall, a great place to come as a family to enjoy gorgeous Tahoe.
