Wonderfully spacious and comfortable base for skiing

Our group of several families had a fabulous stay at Rebecca’s home. Central location for all north Tahoe ski resorts with a spacious and level driveway, only a few steps up to front door, beautiful and spacious home with great amenities- enjoyed the hot tub, king beds with charging outlets on nightstands, spacious fully stocked kitchen, great space to spread out, shampooed/conditioners and soap in each bathroom shower - very thoughtful. Host was easy to reach and responsive. Thank you for a great stay!
