The house was exactly as described and pictured. The whole house is so well stocked and very comfortable. Great property with young kids as there’s plenty of games and puzzles and toys, as well as a pack and play.

Great house in Tahoe

We loved our visit to Tahoe and would stay in this home again. The fireplace made the living area very cozy, the furniture was comfortable, we loved the hot tub, and the location was close to the lake. Check-in/Check-out was super easy and communication was fast and responsive. I would definitely recommend a stay in this house!

So quiet and everything you need

We were just 2 people and long time vrbo renters. We lacked for nothing. Hot tub superb. BBQ grill perfect. Plenty of everything. Clean . Kitchen well stocked. TV has it all. You won’t be disappointed.

Super family-friendly home

I stayed at this home for 3 nights with my 2 kids under 5, my spouse, and my parents. We found the home to be very clean and had everything we needed to be comfortable. Fully stocked kitchen for cooking, games and toys for the kids, sleds for taking to the groomed trails near the home. The layout is spacious and well-suited for a big group. We loved the hottub, too. We had zero complaints about our stay! I think this house would be a fantastic place to stay in the summer, too.

Horrible management, forced us to stay in dangerous condition despite Extreme Winter Storm Alert

We would have loved our stay at this cozy Tahoe home if it were not for the absolute awful experience communicating with the outsourced 3rd party rental company. We are disappointed in VRBO to say the least.
