This property is well maintained and was provisioned with everything we needed, the listing was accurate, communications with the host were good. This cabin was great for the 5 of us to enjoy a few days of fall lake activities.

Very much enjoyed this West Shore house. Close to water, easy walk down to path and private pier. Window seat by dining table was a favorite hang out for all, for the view and the vibe. House met and exceeded all our needs. Very clean and well thought out for supplies, kitchen pots and pans, bedding, fans. Plan to frequent this one again and again.

Lovely cabin

Our family of 5 stayed here and had a great time. The cabin was so cute and clean. We enjoyed the variety of board games and two fireplaces. We had the kids stay downstairs and we were upstairs. Nice when they can have their own space! The peek of the lake through the trees from the second floor kitchen/dining area was such a nice way to enjoy coffee before skiing for the day!

Nice Cabin

Our first time in Homewood and that’s actually a nice area with everything close by, our cabin was perfect with all the amenities you need for a family trip our last night we heard some creepy sounds and steps upstairs we thought there was somebody but no body was there it would definitely be better if some of the main windows have curtains at night so people don’t see you at night but other than that everything was fine

Be Back Soon

Thanks for sharing your home with us. It was located in a great area with easy access to shops and nearby restaurants. The cabin was clean and roomy for the 4 of us. Kitchen was well stocked with plenty of supplies to use although we did not cook due to our short stay. We will be back again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Everything was perfect. Nice quiet location, close to the lake and only 10 minutes from Tahoe City. The house was spotless and very comfortable, with lots of towels, pillows, blankets etc. Loved the king sized bed. Would be perfect for one or two families, or three generations. And so reasonably priced. We enjoyed it very much!

Fun at the Brown House

The house is in the perfect location, especially if you rent a ski boat from Homewood. Nice that adult bedroom is separate from the kid floor below. The deck and grill are both positives! Saw a giant bear one morning while on a run at 7am, but it is Tahoe, after all. :)

Great cabin but difficulties checking in

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The cabin itself was perfect & home-y. However, in order to receive check in code, I needed to sign a document which was supposed to be emaied to me. I had a busy work week and missed that I was supposed to do this. In addition, the doc was never emailed to me in the first place. I did not realize this until 5pm on Friday as I was trying to check in. The cabin check in time is 4pm and the rental office closes at 4:30. There is a 30 minute window where you could get help if needed. I called the back-up number provided twice and they could not help, only forward my request to check in to another agency who was supposed to email me back. My brother luckily guessed the lock code on the pin pad. If he had not done that, we would not have had a place to stay. It is now 2 weeks after my stay and I still have not received the follow up email which was supposed to be sent from the phone calls I made the day of check in. I could have averted the situation by filling out the docs in advance but around the holidays with work, it slipped my mind. I do think the management company running for a vacation rental business should have after hours and weekend support considering that is when most guests need it. The cabin itself was a great stay - clean, cute, & cozy. I would recommend the cabin but not the management company.

Great experience

The cabin is close to the lake and parks where you can go enjoy the snow! We stayed during thanksgiving and there was plenty of snow! The views before arriving to the cabin are also spectacular. The cabin was clean and specious with 2 big beds and 2 small ones. The only bad thing about the stay was that we could not stay longer!

Great rental!

Conveniently located on the west side of the lake, which allowed easy access to activities on both the north and south side of the lake. Far more peaceful location than staying in South Lake. Loved the cabin. Would definitely stay here again.

Great woodsy location and deck

Enjoyed four days here, well equipped kitchen and the deck was great for meals and cocktails. Comfy bed, and we only used the upstairs, but the downstairs would be great for kids or a second family. Living room carpet needed cleaning otherwise a nice rental with quick lake access.
