One of the best houses we've stayed at in Tahoe. Very easy access to Palisades and close to Tahoe City and businesses. Beds were incredibly comfy and we loved all the different hangout spaces including the TV den and detached game room. Big and well equipped kitchen! Great yard. We truly had so much fun and would easily stay here again!

Great house for a Palisades weekend!

This house was perfect for our annual ski weekend with friends. The 5 of us easily fit in the main house with a separate room for everyone and the game room over the garage was a major bonus. The hosts were great and made check in and out very easy. Would definitely stay here again.

Serene retreat

The listing said that there were 2 bedrooms with queen beds. The one bedroom next to the hall bathroom was only a double bed so that was our disappointment. Hard for two adults to sleep in a double bed. My recommendation would be to change the listing or buy a queen beds for that room. The house was great other than that!! Plenty of room for all and very great place for family to gather. It is a beautiful home. Love all the sunny rooms and lots of beautiful windows.

The Place to Be with the Family

Four generations came together and had a beautiful vacation at the Serene Retreat in Tahoe City. The front yard served as a wonderful place to watch the kids play, areas for adults to sit and play bocci ball and cornhole. All the rooms were clean and very comfortable. Enjoyed our days at the beach (short drive) and rafting on the Truckee River. The deck off the living room provided a beautiful place for morning coffee and watching the sunrise. There was enough room for everyone to gather or to be alone. We definitely felt like we were at home away from home.

Perfect Tahoe City house
