We really enjoyed lodge of the Nightingale! The fireplace was great, put out a lot of heat and created great ambience! House was cozy, beds were super comfy. Kitchen was fully equipped, although we did not have time to cook, nor did we have time to use the hot tub, but it looked very inviting. Very pretty area, had dinner right down the road at Gar Woods. Overall, a great stay!

Great Property!
We really enjoyed our stay at the home. The owners care. The kitchen was stocked. The walls had cool art. The beds were cozy. Great to park in the garage. Nice hot tub. We would stay again. Thanks.
We had a great time staying at this property for our family vacation! The house was big enough to accommodate 8 adults comfortably, and the outdoor space was great to spread out as well. The location was perfect - close enough to everything but quiet and felt like an escape. Definitely recommend this house !

House was well appointed; beds were comfortable; fairly close to Palisades (20 min drive) and close to nearby restaurants. Would recommend staying here.
Very nice home that was conveniently located. Loved the kitchen and general layout of the house. It was cozy but perfect with the outside space.

The view mostly consist of the house across the street. Hot tub would only heat to 99. A fabulous neighbor cleaned the driveway after a snow storm, something to consider when renting from a vrbo; no-one is cleaning the driveway.

We truly appreciate our guests’ comments, as they help us continue to improve the experience we provide.
For winter stays, please note that the driveway is scheduled to be plowed once snowfall reaches approximately four inches or more. During significant winter storms, such as the one we experienced in December 2025, local snowplow services may experience high demand and temporary delays. In those cases, providers work diligently to service each property as quickly and safely as possible, and we appreciate our guests’ patience and understanding during major weather events.
Our home is located within a residential neighborhood, offering the comfort and security of nearby homes, while still being surrounded by mature trees that provide a peaceful, private atmosphere.
We value your feedback and are always happy to answer any questions prior to your stay to help ensure a smooth and enjoyable visit.
This rental had everything and even more! It was very clean and maintained well. The kitchen was stocked fully with different types of appliances and utensils which made cooking very easy. We enjoyed the stay and the cleanliness of the house. Will be coming back! Thank you!
I came to visit this property with several friends. We had a great time and the property was as listed. The carpets were quite dirty, but apart from that the home was fine. It is a great space to relax with friends and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Lake Tahoe. It is in a very nice location and I would definitely visit again.

Hi Sujeeth - Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the space and the beautiful scenery of Lake Tahoe. We apologize for the carpets not meeting expectations and will address this for future guests. We'd love to welcome you back anytime!
Came down with a group of buddies for a snowboarding trip at tahoe, 15min drive but if snowing or icy conditions expect it to be closer to half an hour to 50mins. The house was amazing! Living room had a projector screen which was def the highlight for everyone along with the hot tub! Rooms are all nice and mattresses super comfortable. Thanks!

Hello and thank you for your review. The home is equipped with one King, two Queens and two twins. One twin is a trundle and must be pulled out from under the other twin.
I am sorry if you did not see the other twin and we would have been happy to help as we are available for our guests.
We hope to host you again in the future.

Couldn’t have asked for a better rental for our family with little kids. Location was amazing, amenities and the house was perfect. It was clean and came with everything we needed. The staff was very accommodating and helpful (we even had to last minute rent a pack n play). My only tiny bit of feedback is that the WiFi wasn’t great so some of us weren’t able to take a work meeting like we hoped, but that was okay. 100% will recommend and would love to come back.
