fabulous place and location
Wonderful place and location to explore Tahoe from! We would gladly stay again.
We arrived at night and it was not the easiest to find. The layout does not provide a lot of privacy with the main bed being in the loft space. The cleaning products stored in the kitchen made the whole kitchen smell very chemically. The kitchen was also not conducive to cooking, as it is very small. Overall, we made it work, but we checked out a day early and it's not a property we would return to.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear the home did not end up being the right fit for your stay. The loft-style layout and compact kitchen are part of the design of the home, and we understand that this type of setup may not work for everyone, especially if more privacy or a larger cooking space is preferred.
We also appreciate you mentioning the cleaning product smell. We will pass this along to our housekeeping team so they can review how supplies are being stored. Thank you for staying with us and for taking the time to share your experience.

Great vaca
Nice clean upgraded unit! Quiet & well maintained!
The rental was very clean and updated very nicely. The location was great for us as we were visiting with friends in Truckee, Tahoe and Reno. The unit was super quiet and peaceful. The check in process was easy and directions given to us were helpful. We came for just a short trip and didn't have time to check out the pool or hot tubs. We will definitely want to stay at this property again and I don't have anything to critique about the rental. Thanks for having us!
