Exactly as described

We enjoyed our stay thoroughly. The location and house were excellent. Everything was as described. Nothing fancy, bit everything needed was close at hand. The surprise bonus was the free neighborhood shuttle that would pick us up from the front door and take us to the slopes.

Fantastic house, incredible location

Had a wonderful time at Chuck's Yacht. Couldn't ask for a better location with access to the free Mountaineer Shuttle and a five minute drive to Palisades. The house provided a great set up for our two families of four in that the kids and adults had separate hang-out spaces and lots of comfortable spots for sleeping. Would definitely return!

Great location, great house!

We mostly just used the place as somewhere to sleep and didn't spend much time there. But the place was great. Beds were comfy, bathrooms were nice, place was clean! Only comment was the basement room had a little odor. But you didn't notice it after 30 seconds. Would definitely stay again!

Super comfy cabin

We really enjoyed our stay. The cabin is very cozy with so much space and lots of places to sit and relax. Check in and out was very easy. The kitchen is stocked with everything you can think of including things I was not expecting like alum foil and storage bags. We would definitely rent this property again.

great place for families in Olympic Valley

My Family loved this house. It’s conveniently located a few minutes from Palisades, and is on the route for a free on-demand shuttle that we saw around the neighborhood quite frequently. The house is well-appointed, and the kids loved playing pool and sledding on the gradual slope on the side yard. And the property managers are great, including because they kindly let us check in a few hours early to get ahead of some weather.

Great Home Base for Ski Trip

Quiet neighborhood, quick and easy to get to skiing with the free Mountaineer service, two separate big open areas to hang out upstairs and downstairs. Pool table was a bonus. Plenty of kitchen space for group cooking. Very comfortable, but not too fancy. Relaxing. Just what we needed.

Nice cabin, nice location

This house was spacious and comfortable, and just as advertised. It was also well-located halfway between Tahoe City and Truckee, and very close to Squaw Village. We even walked to the Village a couple times. The deck is also really nice. Very sunny and surrounded by trees. The house is well-stocked with movies and games, and has Netflix and Hulu, too.

Chuck's Yacht

Chuck's yacht is a comfortable property, spacious, nice kitchen and living room area. Nice deck in a great area - near Squaw valley. Pool table downstairs was fun! It has all you need. It does need a few repairs, that I reported - blinds don't work well, sliding door needs a new lock - things like that, but we enjoyed it despite the terrible smoke in the air that week!

Nice property, great location

Everything was good, except that there was a power outage and we were without heating for almost 48 hours. The property manager only recommended us to light the fire, not very attentive. We had to sleep beside the fireplace because it was freezing inside the house

Great stay at Chuck's Yacht

We had a great family week in Tahoe staying at Chuck's Yacht! The location is fabulous if you are skiing at Palisades or Alpine...The house is comfortable with a large family room/kitchen that is well stocked, good sized mudroom for one family to hang up their ski equipment (even 2 would be comfortable) and a game room downstairs. The largest bed downstairs was not the most comfortable...I would bring my own pillows if I stayed in that bed again. And don't forget to bring firewood, firestarter and a lighter. We were lucky to have lots of snow come down while we were there....parking for one car is covered which is terrific. We felt welcome in this home and were very happy. Thank you so much!
