Incredible Stay!
Absolutely loved the Birchwood Retreat...what a thoughtfully stocked and perfect vacation house for our family. From a great set of chef's knives to every spice you might need and every pan to make a great meal...and a beautiful patio and interior space. Honestly could not recommend a house more. Really really enjoyed the stay with our kids and their friends.

Perfect cozy home to stay with family. Incredibly well stocked kitchen, and great appliances. Great fireplace and hot tub! The shuttle to the hill was easy and super convenient. Would love to return soon.
The house and location exceeded expectations. The house was like new and fully equipped for guests to enjoy, including beautiful towels and good WiFi. Tahoe Getaways provided great service. The Mountaineer Shuttle service made our daily commute to the lifts very easy, door to door.

Good location to the mountains. Had the garage door malfunction on us as we were leaving but it was fixed quickly. People who came out to help was great.

Thank you for the great review Matthew! I'm glad we were able to quickly resolve the issue with the garage! We look forward to hosting you again next time you are in Tahoe!
I was there with my 2 sons 1 daughter in law and my 2 grandchildren attending a family reunion. My brother is dealing with stage 4 cancer and we all wanted to get together for a lasting memory and to celebrate graduations. This home provided the perfect place to have solace and time before joining the rest of the family. The home was cozy, perfectly appointed and there was nothing missing! All amenities were top of the line and the space perfect. My grand babies enjoyed the little nooks and the bunk beds. I hope we can return soon! Thank you, Leticia

Nice house for small groups
The house is great for a small group. A perfect location for Alpine (free shuttle from Mountaineer delivers door-to-door). We arrived to find a dirty hot tub, but the management company sent someone who quickly drained and refilled it.
There is only one common room for everyone. The kitchen was modern and well-maintained.
