Tucked away in a quiet section of Tahoe, guests of this classic home will be able to enjoy close proximity to local restaurants and activities while still taking in the area's natural beauty. Grill up delicious meals on the spacious back deck while the kids run around the enclosed backyard. It'll be easy to go from outdoors cooking to indoors prep, with the conveniently located full kitchen right by the deck entrance. The entire home is ground level, so no one will have to struggle with stairs inside. If you're visiting during the colder seasons, feel free to light up a fire in the wood-burning fireplace and enjoy a board game in the richly furnished living room. The room-darkening shades will ensure that everyone gets enough rest for the next day's adventures.

Things to Know
Tahoe is home to many animals. You may experience bears, raccoons, mice, and other animals. Meadows are home to many rodents. When these areas are filled with water or snow, these animals move to homes in the area. You may experience these animals in or near your home.
Streaming services are available with guest accounts.
Lake Tahoe is a mountain town, and the internet signal is different than in big cities. When there are not a lot of people in town, the internet is high-speed. As the town fills up and people stream, the internet will ebb and flow.

6/10 Okay

Jeffrey H.

Would’ve been 5 stars except…
the hot water heater was broken when we arrived. No one was able to come fix it the night we arrived. The property management repair tech came to try and fix it the next day but the pilot light/flame kept getting extinguished, so we were left another night without hot water. It wasn’t until the third day they sent a plumbing specialist out to take a look and he replaced the 25 year old water heater altogether. Other than that, the place was good for our family of 4 adults, 2 kids, and dog. Location was close enough to all the winter activities we had planned (skiing, tubing, etc..) and neighborhood was quiet.

South Lake Tahoe getaway
We appreciated the layout of the house and the amenities it had to offer. The house was centrally located to the things and places we enjoy. We took advantage of walking through the nearby meadow in the mornings. A couple of things to work on would be to fix the screen door that leads to the backyard (kept falling off track) and the vertical blinds( only 5 work). Also the outdoor furniture is not sturdy and BBQ pit did not ignite and no lighter available. Would have liked to hangout doors more if it was possible. We will definitely book this listing again in the future. Thank you.

Tahoe Mountain home
This home is located in a quiet neighborhood, close to some trails, bike paths, and a short drive to restaurants and stores. It has a well-equipped kitchen and comfortable beds. It was a nice spot for our family and a good home base for all kinds of Tahoe adventures.

It’s okay…
When we got to the cabin I noticed right away that there was a little bit of a funny smell. When I turned on the heat that smell got stronger. Whatever the smell was gave me a horrible headache, my eyes were burning and I just didn’t feel right when I was there. Aside from all that I was shocked that it really wasn’t that clean; I found a few dishes that were dirty and put away, hair all in the drain, ash in the fire place and what I assume was marker all over the sheets in the master bedroom. The home was also lacking a few things that would have been nice to have like a spatula, salt and pepper, a mixer…just basic stuff…no extra blankets and the tv in the bedroom didn’t work. Sadly I couldn’t breath there, there were no Christmas decorations (I take a week trip every December to Tahoe and every house we’ve stayed at has had everything we needed and a Christmas tree). The deck was COVERED in snow and ice so it made taking my dog out difficult…seems like they should have had someone come clean off the deck prior to our arrival. It was nice having a washer and dryer and the backyard was nice and big which we loved…I just wish that of the home was going to be dirty that they wouldn’t do things like charge for cleaning…kinda a bummer to go on vacation and have to clean and shovel snow.
