Great big house. Great location. Super well stocked kitchen. Great stay!
The house is really big and super nice. The kids loved the bedroom with 4 beds. Nice deck and great kitchen. It feels like your friends let you borrow their house rather than a rental. Great location. We had an amazing weekend.

Thanks for staying at our house and so glad you enjoyed Tahoe and our cabin. Hope to have you back. Mary
Sundries were well-stocked. House was clean and warm during the winter. What was most fun was the 4-bed bedroom in the converted attic-- was perfect for our young boys who had a blast sleeping in there with friends. The backyard was vast and quiet and was perfect for snow play. Finally, the owner was super responsive during our entire stay.

Jason. Please come back. You were a perfect guest. Glad you had a nice time.
The house is beautiful, very clean, and fully stocked - truly fully stocked with lots of plates, cups, silverware, spices, paper towel, toilet paper, etc. Mary was also nice enough to inform me when there were bears spotted in the neighborhood and I felt very safe. The location is great - it was the midpoint for all of our activities- hiking, boating, kayaking. The lack of A/C is non-issue as it cools down at night.

Thanks for the review Carrie and we appreciate you being an awesome group to host. It sure has been unusually warm in Tahoe so glad it was cool at night. Pleas consider us again.
The house is clean, comfortable, and spacious. The kitchen is fully functional and has you covered for any type of cooking you will do, just bring your own food. They even have some spices and oils. The furniture was a bit old, but all of it was cleaned well. The location is very nice, with enough parking for 3-4 cars in the driveway.

Thanks for the review. Glad you had a nice time. We appreciate the comments about the furniture. We are happy to note our new furniture arrived that we ordered almost a year ago. 😀
Our family of ten spent a fabulous week at this clean and comfortable Dollar Point house. We cooked every meal in the very well-stocked kitchen. Mary was great to communicate with. She let us check in early because there was a big snowstorm coming. So we were all snug inside when the record snowfall happened. We had our own winter wonderland and sledding hill out back of the house. The roads and driveway were cleared regularly and we had no trouble driving to skiing and ice skating and shopping after the snow stopped. Great experience and great memories!
Overall good experience however ants all over the kitchen counters and it was during record breaking heat and we couldn’t turn down the air.

Some things are not in our control like the weather and pests (ants). As locals say, it is Tahoe! :) You are right. The week you stayed was 10 - 15 degrees hotter than normal which is very hot given the elevation. We do not have AC which is the standard with all of Tahoe. Most residential homes do not have AC as we usually do not need it. We did supply fans all over the house. In regards to the ants due to the heat ants have surfaced. We have a professional service come in weekly and spray for bugs as this is a common service in Tahoe. People like yourself should consider when visiting places of nature that they will run into items like these as Tahoe is in the forest. Our house is very clean as testimony from other reviews. I am sorry you focused on these things in the review vs the plenty of nice offerings we had ready for your stay.
This home is comfortable, fully equipped, clean and big enough for 10 people. We had 3 minutes drive to Tahoe City and 10 and 15 minutes to Alpine and Squaw Valleys. The owner was very easy to communicate with. We would definitely rent this place again.
The property was clean and spacious and had everything we needed, a fully stocked kitchen, plenty of blankets and towels and a great outdoor area. The house is located right next to a hiking trail so it was nice to be able to get out and explore, thank you for letting us stay at your home.

Very nice house!
I loved how stocked the kitchen is! It made it so much easier to cook there and have enough plates forks etc.! Some places don’t have as many plates or utensils.
The beds, at least the one we stayed in was very comfortable and the snow view we had that morning was amazing!
Great place to stay at with minor details.

Clean and spacious house in a scenic, quit neighborhood
I highly recommend this property to anyone with a large group looking for a quiet getaway. It is located in a tree filled neighborhood with beautiful scenery. If you like to cook the kitchen is well stocked with every cooking tool imaginable plus it has a large deck with both gas and charcoal grills. There are great spaces for spending time together in the living room, in the play room garage, comfortable seating outside on the deck, or in hot tub. Bedrooms are small and simple but clean and comfortable.

Bright airy mountain home
We were a group of 10 that had plenty of space in this house. The kids LOVED the upstairs bedroom with the fold out beds. Also, the game area in the garage was a hit. It snowed the first night we were there and the roads in the neighborhood are not plowed consistently. We discovered the main way to the cottage was impassable due to ice/snow, even with chains. Fortunately, you just have to go through the neighborhood a bit and we were able to get home again. The house is well equipped, mostly. There were a few things that we couldn't find (hand towels, tea kettle, salad spinner). Also, at night, the main living area had almost no lighting, so it was very dim. It was very convenient being close to Alpine and the lake. There is a very helpful and very extensive house manual which was great! No need to guess how things worked. Thanks for letting us use your lovely home!

Kate, thank you for the review. I am sorry to hear that you had trouble getting to the house. We are on a street that has priority snow plowing a few times a day. I will ensure that the house information offers several routes to the house. As you mentioned there are several streets to the home. Thank you for the feedback. In regards to the house, we do have a tea kettle. Sorry you missed it. I just went out and bought a salad spinner :) Had not thought of that before. In regards to the lighting, there is a switch that makes the lights bright. I will ensure to highlight that better in the user manual. We try very hard to make the house great and appreciate all the feedback. We hope to have you back again. thank you

Great family trip!
We decided to have Christmas in Tahoe. With 13 people in one cabin, we were a little worried about space. It was very comfortable and clean. The back deck and hot tub definitely helped give us more space to enjoy! Everyone had a terrific time and space was never an issue!

Too much fun!
Mary and Sebastian's home was great for our family of 10! There was a bed for everyone, and a grand family table for us to all eat together. The home is in a prime location, and very close to Squaw Valley.
The Scala's have maintained their home very well, and stocked it up with a bunch of activities for the kids, such as a shuffleboard and ping pong table. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need to prepare and feed a large family.
Didn't have a chance to check out the hot tub, but it's easily accessible from the master bedroom.
Mary is very responsive and thorough with her house rules that we didn't have any questions.

Lovely and luxurious
We had a fabulous, snow-filled, long weekend in this very comfortable, well-equipped and beautiful house. We came with two other little families (10 people altogether) and there really was plenty of room for all of us, with good privacy and separation between all of the rooms. The house is close to ski resorts and everything else so we were able to accommodate people wanting to ski, sled and ice skate. There was a lot of snow gear (sleds, snow shoes and more) and the kids had a lot of fun just playing close to the house. The kitchen was so roomy and well equipped that we were able to cook elaborate meals while enjoying a cocktail around the kitchen island. We'll definitely be back.

About the host
Hosted by Mary Scala
We, Sebastian and Mary, bought the house in 2013 to provide our children with contrast, as our full-time residence is in San Francisco. We work and live in the city and find Tahoe a magical retreat. We chose to purchase this home so we can escape the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy the nature and beauty of Tahoe. We hope you enjoy staying at our vacation home as much as we do.
Why they chose this property
In the summer of 2013, as a family, we visited Tahoe and fell in love with all that it has to offer. Shortly after our last visit, we decided that we wanted to spend more time in this beautiful place and decided to buy a home. After reviewing over 20 homes, we kept coming back to this house due to its natural light, open floor plan, beautiful greenbelt, and overall excellent location. We come from a large community of family and friends, so we chose this house with that in mind. We look forward to having a spacious home to spend quality time with our friends and family, and we hope you will consider renting the house for the same reason.
What makes this property unique
The house has all the essentials of home! Huge 1,000 square foot deck on an open greenbelt with a beautiful hot tob
