Cozy cabin

Nice cozy cabin. Nicely equipped kitchen. Location and instructions good. No shower head in one bathroom. The electric bear fence kinda scary. The basement was very cold and therefore unusable. Overall a nice stay.

Response from VrboOwner on 24 Dec, 2022
No showerhead in one bathroom? That is very strange. Maybe the guests before you took it. I stayed there last week, but only downstairs and as we've never had a showerhead stolen before, I didn't check for it upstairs. I did notice the shampoo, conditioner, and body wash dispenser was missing so I've bought another which I will install next time I'm there. I’m sorry about the showerhead and thank you for letting me know. Also, I'm sorry about the cold basement. The repairman for the wall furnace didn't make it there before your stay. There is still the wood stove though and it will heat the whole house.

Great stay at Steve's Skyland home

Overall it was a great stay. The only thing is, I'd say I would have liked to know more about the Bear Fence/mat before showing up! As someone who is unfamiliar with bear terrain and electric fences, it was a bit scary to not know where the fence was. But Steve was a great host-very responsive!

Response from VrboOwner on 26 Feb, 2021
Do not rent to these people! They stole our pool table cover and destroyed two new beds. For some reason they stabbed both the beds multiple times all the way through all the bedding and into the mattresses. It's as if they were attacking the mattresses. The deposit won't even come close to covering the damage they did. I've never seen damage like this.

Cozy cabin in an ideal location

A group of friends and I stayed at this property for a weekend ski trip. The cabin is ideal proximity to Palisades and other mountains (less than 20 min to Palisades no problem) with some beautiful lake views. Despite the deluge of snow in the prior weeks, Steve made sure the drive way was properly shoveled and we had not problem accessing the house or the backyard deck which was covered. Kitchen was well stocked with all the basics equipment you could need and we definitely made good use of that to cook our meals. If you're staying in the winter, the houses in the living room might be cozier/warmer than the futons in the basement for guests 7-8. But you can definitely fit 8 comfortably. Steve was also incredibly responsive during our stay answering any questions we had both over the phone and via the app which really put us at ease. Great weekend - highly recommend!

great place for ski week

Great house for our family's ski week. Close to Homewood for downhill and Sugar Pine Point State Park for XC skiing. The double car garage is nice to have in the winter, especially with the large amounts of snow we had while there. The house is older, but well maintained and clean. The beds, at least the ones we slept in, are very comfortable with good mattresses. Plenty of space all around. We never had contact with anyone, because we didn't need to. Everything was there, soap, towels, etc., even many leftover spices and kitchen stuff in case you didn't bring it all. Everything was well organized and explained. The road up to the house may require chains or AWD with snow tires when conditions get rough. The snow removal, both county and private for the driveway, may not come right in the morning, so you may end up shoveling some snow if you have to leave. Nothing the owner can do about, so just a heads up ... it is winter in the mountains after all. One has to be flexible. We had a great time, liked the house a lot, and would definitely come back. Thanks!

Amazing Lake View

A few fiends and I visited for some time on the slopes. The house is convenient, clean, and has lots of amenities. It was after the fact the I was informed that my good friend got engaged at this house seven years prior. We had a great time relaxing at the house after boarding all day long, thank you.

Comfortable, well located for hiking & outdoor activities

Privacy of separated bedroom spaces & adequate beds. Adequate kitchen for preparing meals with outside grill. Adequate living room with a working fireplace Outside deck surrounding 1/2 way around house but is mostly shaded. Lovely backyard for sitting or activities. Great location for privacy but yet close to lake with a walking path plus easy access to boating or other activities.

We had a great stay!

Location was unbeatable, very close to lake, with peekaboo views of the water in the large serene backyard. there was a great front deck for morning coffee, back deck was large and covered, great for the dinners we had. The pier was walking distance and perfect for a boat- it was easy to load and unload people on it. Cabin itself was great "old tahoe" vibes, but maybe could use a little "less" decor and stuff. kitchen was well stocked with dishes and cookware, beds were comfy, thank you. Hope to be back sometimes.

Decent Place

The good: This is a great location, less than one block away from the lake, and surrounded by nature. Less than a 10 minute drive to grocery stores, restaurants, state parks and popular beaches. Really lovely backyard and amazing wrap-around deck. Areas for improvement: The house is a little bit crowded with older furniture and feels a little run down. The handle for the faucet in the kitchen kept coming off and we had to fix it ourselves (just a couple of loose screws.) The family room where extra folks can sleep is dusty and a kind of uninviting and frankly not a place where anyone wants to sleep or spend anytime.

Amazing getaway in the heart of Lake Tahoe!

AMAZING house. Perfect cabin for a getaway to Lake Tahoe. Everything seemed very clean, the yard was extremely spacious, and the house was just perfect. The host was always very responsive and everything was stocked very well. It’s only a minute walk to your private dock/beach. I would highly suggest staying at this property, if I am ever back in Tahoe I will stay here again. Thank you!!

Why they chose this property

Grandma Walker bought it for our vacation home. We are constantly updating and improving it. We just added a huge covered deck that connects to 3 sides of the home, and new kitchen appliances..

What makes this property unique

The area along the side of our Lake, 4 houses away, has the longest stretch of public beach to walk along on the entire lake. We love to take walks in the morning and evening, or bike along side the Lake. People come from all over just to be able to take long walks, bike, and picnic along our West Shore. Out back, you can hike or bike along the road near Blackwood Creek. Our neighborhood is very quiet, and peaceful. Our back yard is fairly flat.
