Cozy winter retreat

Absolutely loved our stay at the this beautiful house in Carnelian Bay! The location near King Beach was perfect, and the cleanliness of the house made us feel right at home.

Nice rental, maybe wait a couple months

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property was nice and very clean, and pretty much like you see in the pictures. It was generally in a good state of repair, although there was the some kind of leak you could hear inside throughout our stay (I assume it is fixed by now).They are building a house next door right now (Aug ‘23), with a crew working daily. I suggest you ask the rental company about that, as it could impact your enjoyment of the nice mountain surroundings.

Nice stay with little surprise

We enjoyed our stay at this cozy house for our Thanksgiving break. The property manager was easy to communicate over their app / phone / email, (though my early query about snow chain requirement sent via vrbo was never answered. Actually the slope to the property was pretty steep and I guess snow chain or AWD was a must during snowy days). The house was well maintained, while it was aged. We were puzzled to see some tiny nuts in a couple of beds on the first day. Neither the property manager nor the owner had any clue and they refunded the clean fee to us. On the checkout day, we realized that it could be some chipmunks who stored their food.. And our kids even claimed they saw rats in the garage.

Smoky but nice

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Enjoyed our six night stay at the Muletail Lodge and especially the visits from the neighborhood dog Blue. As there is no ac and couldn't open the windows because of smoke from the fires, didn't sleep well the first night. Called the management office the next day and they brought over a couple of extra fans. Fortunately, smoked disappeared for the next few days but did come back toward the end of our stay which was no fault of the owners. Property was clean but could use a bit of updating. The location was close to several beaches, activities and restaurants. Our group would recommend the property.
