A well-appointed gem in tranquil Tahoe

We had a wonderful stay for a recent hockey tournament. This property ticked all the boxes, a quick drive to Tahoe amenities and stores but the hiking trail and green space made for a very peaceful stay. Everything we could have possibly needed was waiting for our convenience including serving bowls, cookie cutters, fans and all of the comforts of home. We would definitely choose this property again.

Nice Family get away

Over all our experience at this home was great. The home met all of our needs. We visited during a late winter storm and the property was warm and cozy. We had a minor issue with a room and it was addressed immediately. We would stay here again in the future. There are a lot of rules for this neighborhood, but once you understand them it’s not to over bearing.

Happy Hiker is a wonderful house and property for large families and groups of friends. The wooden Indian statue greeted us in the driveway, and the setting adjacent to a cul-de-sac snd trailhead, with no houses and only trees behind it, is lovely, private, and serene. The house is very clean and well stocked. There are hooks on two trees along the lush green lawn for a hammock (not provided), and I was glad I brought mine! The only small quibbles are that the carpets could use a cleaning or replacement, and the kitchen could benefit from a couple of sharper knives and a screen on the window above the sink. Overall we recommend this highly and look forward to coming back. The property manager RNR Vacation Rentals is also very attentive and helpful.
