Idle days and relaxation

Had a wonderful relaxing couple of days with my son and his GF. It’s her first time to northern CA so he wanted to show her Tahoe. John’s place was perfect - spacious, comfortable living space with all that we needed - a great landing spot in Tahoe. The only down side for them was the separate twin beds - too heavy to scoot together :). Would definitely stay here again!

Gold Bend Condo's

We selected Gold Bend Condos for our two-day snowboarding trip to Northstar, and it turned out to be a great choice. The condo was ideally located, just a short distance from the resort, making it convenient for our group of three. We found the unit to be comfortably heated, and the added convenience of an in-unit washer and dryer was a real bonus. Additionally, the shuttle service to the resort was incredibly convenient, making it easy to get to the slopes without any hassle.
