Hi Charlene, what an outstanding guest you were! We appreciate you choosing to stay at our place. Hope you had a great time. Thank you and see you soon!!
We had a great stay, thank you. Clear instructions, easy check in and check out. Plenty of space and we slept on a great mattress. We did not use the bikes but the beach chairs and toys were very helpful.

Thank you for your wonderful review, Peter! We're delighted to hear that you had a great stay and found the check-in and check-out process easy. Thank you for choosing to stay with us and we hope to welcome you back for another enjoyable stay soon!
This is a cute little place in the woods. You can tell it’s on the older side but with updates done she right way. I’d guess the floors are close to original but it adds to the charm if you like that sort of thing which we do.

Great location, beautiful home. Our family had a fabulous time!
It was well stocked and super clean. They have a kids kayak and a paddle board to use.
Unfortunately only one out of the 3 bikes were in working condition.

Hi Calli, thank you so much for choosing to stay with us! We truly appreciate it! We hope to host you again in the future!
We had such a great time at your home. We loved the big windows watching the snow fall. My kids loved the stretch ropes in the back and the sleds. Thank you so much! Ps loved all the blankets, games and coziness. We could have used another pot or two for cooking but all the other supplies in the kitchen were great. Thank you
We stayed here for 5 nights - myself, my wife and two young boys (4 & 6). We loved our stay at the Rigi Chalet! It’s in a little neighborhood that is peaceful and quiet. You can walk about 5-10 mins down the road and have 2-3 great restaurants, a wonderful market and access to the HOA beach, which has a stony beachfront and a little park with a playground, volleyball court, and more. It was perfect for our kids. We enjoyed being positioned on the middle of the lake so we could easily access beaches/hikes north and south of us. The deck was awesome for hanging out on after the kids went to bed. Market lights, propane fire pit, comfy chairs. The best!. We hope to be back!

Thank you for your wonderful review, Tim! We're delighted that you and your family had such a great time. We're also glad to hear that the location was perfect for your needs and that the deck was a hit. Thank you for choosing to stay with us and we'd love to welcome you back for another stay soon!
We thoroughly enjoyed our visit at this property. It is well set up to provide everything a family would need as a home away from home. We used the bicycles and lock provided, the wagon and chairs to go to the beach, the beach towels and the fire table. Clearly whoever owns this place has stayed here. It was clean and well set up. Nice kitchen ware and comfortable beds and couch. The only things we would suggest are a sponge for the kitchen ( we ended up using paper towels) and a set of hex wrenches to adjust the bicycle seat ( we found a repair station along the bicycle trail for this). All in all had just about everything we needed. We had great weather so never even needed to use the games but there were plenty of these. If we had kids with us they would have loved the mini zip line and slack line in the back!

Hi Wendy, thank you for choosing our property for your visit, and for sharing your wonderful experience with us. We're thrilled to hear that you thoroughly enjoyed your stay and found the property well-equipped to provide everything a family would need as a home away from home. Your feedback about the sponge for the kitchen and hex wrenches for the bicycle seat adjustment is valuable, and we will certainly consider these suggestions for future improvements. Thank you for your kind words, and we look forward to hosting you again in the future!
Well-stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, good living room set up. House was clean, instructions for everything were good. Only issue - tea kettle in the kitchen was super confusing to use & no manual. Also - would recommend to the property manager that you change out the bright white light bulbs -- the lighting in the house is really rough if you're sensitive to that kind of thing because a lot of the bulbs are the bright/blue light instead of warm lighting. Also, be aware that the shades in the living/dining area are sunshades -- they offer zero privacy at night. It's not like you're in the city, so maybe not that big a deal, but it's a bit odd.

Your feedback is valuable to us, and we'll use it to improve the experience for future guests. We hope to have the opportunity to host you again in the future.
The home looked just like the pictures. Clean, good shower and good beds. Loved that it was a short 10 min walk down to the private access beach. It is in a quiet neighborhood. I had to text the owner a question and had a quick response.

Hello Martha, thank you for choosing to stay with us, we hope you had a wonderful time. You’re welcome back whenever!
We loved our stay at this chalet in Tahoe City! The location was great! Close to the lake and minutes away from shops and restaurants in town as well as very close to Alpine and Palisades Tahoe! Lots and lots of snow during our stay and we were toasty warm in this house that strikes a perfect balance between rustic and upscale! Can’t wait to go back!

Thank you for the positive review. We hope to see you again!
Nice cabin perfect for a family stay
Smooth logistics (renting, snow removal service, help from property management wrt potential delays in checkout due to road closures)
From the initial ease of communicating with the property manager (texting makes it simple!), my family of 4 plus Grandpa had a GREAT stay! The kitchen had every amenity desired; the beds were comfy and clean; there was a fan for every bed (considering how hot it was that was really well-thought out!); super useful washer and dryer PLUS beach gear (wagon, chairs, toys). It was important that we could bike down to Sunnyside and beach and avoid traffic so this is a great place to go if you like to avoid crowds/parking. Very quiet, cute neighborhood to take walks in every night! Enjoyed dinner outside by the barbecue! Hope to be back soon! Can’t say enough… it clearly was professionally decorated - cozy blankets on every chair!
Great time there. Spent most of the days on the water and it was comfortable in the evening.
Thought just one bathroom would have been an issue but it worked out well for everyone. So don’t let that stop a good stay.
We enjoyed a few days at this wonderful Tahoe Cabin. Location to Lake is very convenient and bedroom set up was great for teens. Lake access through Tahoe Park was excellent. Great place for a couple of Tahoe Lake days!
