HOME NUISANCES
- NO AC: This home does not have AC.
- LAKESIDE BEACH ACCESS: The closest beach charges a daily rate for each person. Tahoe woods is not affiliated with this beach so we don’t have beach passes to give out nor do we control how much they charge. There are plenty of free beaches on the South Shore.
- LOWER LEVEL: This home is on the lower level so up one flight of stairs to reach the front door. No elevators were built at Tahoe woods. There is another unit above this one and as a result there will be noise from the upstairs guests walking around. While we do our best to mitigate this, the above unit is managed by another company. This condo is not recommended for light sleepers or work-from-home people that need a perfectly quiet condo.
- NO POOL/HOT TUB: Tahoe Woods was not built with a pool or hot tub so there are no HOA amenities available.

TAHOE RENTAL ORDINANCE
The following laws were set forth by the county and apply to every home in Tahoe. They were put in place to keep Lake Tahoe an enjoyable and safe place to visit for years to come! :)
1. The hot tub cannot be used after 10pm (if this home has one)
2. 10pm - 8am is the county quiet time for all rentals.
3. Trash cannot be left outside and must go into the bear box.
4. We cannot host extra people or allow parties.
5. We cannot accomodate extra cars, parking on the street or dirt.
PLEASE NOTE: Neighbors may alert the police who will issue fines to guests found to be in violation. In order to protect this owner’s permit, we reserve the right to ask guests to leave if this happens.

IMPORTANT INFO
- QUIET NEIGHBORHOOD: In Tahoe it’s so quiet at night that you could hear a pin drop! As a result, we can only host quieter groups that will abide by all of the county laws. Our guests are normally fine as long as they head inside or to the casinos after 10pm. Appreciate your understanding!
- KEEP TAHOE BLUE: Please help us keep Tahoe a natural wonder by appropriately disposing of trash when visiting our beaches and trails. If you pack it in, please pack it out.
- REVIEWS: We kindly ask for understanding and compassion when sharing feedback about this home, just as we strive to approach responding to reviews with empathy. We understand that experiences can vary, and what might not meet one person's expectations could exceed another person’s expectations. Your reviews have a lasting impact on the home and its owner, who are real people behind the scenes. We genuinely value your input and appreciate constructive feedback that can help us enhance our offerings.
- TRAVEL INSURANCE: We highly recommend that all of our lovely guests purchase travel insurance as we normally do not refund for Covid, smoke, fires, weather, snow storms, road closures, etc. 
- WINTER TRAVEL ADVISORY: After the historic Winter of 2023, we recommend 4WD vehicles with snow tires, tire chains and experience driving in the snow. Emphasis on snow tires. Tahoe roads are icy and power outages are common. Please always wear snow boots and walk with care on icy pathways.
- BBQ/DECKS IN WINTER: Due to snow levels and freezing temps, BBQs are not serviced and decks are not shovelled during the Winter but if you can dig it out and there is propane - feel free to use!
- LATE CHECK OUT: Please let us know 24 hours prior to check out, if you wish to request a late check out. First hour is free then $25/hour after that, not to exceed 1pm. Please note our cleaners sometimes travel for up to 1 hour to clean this home so we ask that you please respect the 10am check out time.
- NO AC: Like most homes in Tahoe, there is no AC but we do provide plenty of fans.
- HIGH FIRE RISK: Lake Tahoe is a high-risk fire area. Fireworks, wood fire pits, smoking/improper disposal of cigarette butts and charcoal bbq’s are prohibited.
- BLACK BEARS: Black bears inhabit Lake Tahoe and are attracted to food and trash. Always lock your car doors, roll up windows and view from afar. Please do not feed our bears.
- TOWELS: We supply one bath towel, one wash cloth per occupant and then one hand towel per bathroom.
- SECURITY: Most of our homes have exterior-only security cameras and noise decibel monitoring systems to ensure we are in compliance with the county ordinance but we take our guests privacy VERY seriously. There is never indoor cameras. Most owners only look to see bears and snow levels at their homes :)
- MOUNTAIN CRITTERS: It’s not uncommon at any home in Tahoe to find little mountain mice, spiders, spider webs, ants, mosquitos, etc. Our homes have on-going extermination services but despite our best efforts, these little critters might make their way inside. If found it doesn’t mean a home is dirty, let us know and we will do our best to mitigate such findings.

Thank you and happy travels!

Annual Tahoe Vacation

Overall, this rental extremely convenient and met the needs of our entire family. The kids especially loved the bunk beds. My father especially loved the short walking distance to the casinos. My sister and niece especially loved the nearby shopping. It was the perfect place to celebrate my uncle and nieces birthdays and end of summer vacation.

Girls’ Trip Weekend Getaway

We had a fantastic stay at this condo! It was perfect for a weekend girls getaway. The location is perfect—just a short walk to the beach and close to the casinos, making it convenient for both relaxation and entertainment. The added excitement of seeing a bear when we first arrived, added to the Tahoe charm The condo itself was comfortable and offered some fun extras, like shuffleboard and a classic video game unit, which made our time indoors just as enjoyable. The only suggestion I would make is to add a few more glasses to the kitchen and upgrade the blender, but overall, it was a wonderful experience. Highly recommend and would definitely stay here again!

Great Stay

Stayed for a ski trip with friends and our teenage boys. The location is great, a very quick walk to Heavenly village. The unit was clean, kitchen was well stocked with dishes, utensils, cookware (more so than many other rentals we’ve stayed in). The arcade and shuffleboard are a nice extra that our group had fun playing. Would definitely stay again.

A good visit

This is a very good property and we highly recommend it. We had a few minor issues with the property management company that were mostly addressed, but otherwise the property is as described and the location is outstanding. We will likely stay there or in another property within that development again in the future.

Fantastic spot near south lake

We had an amazing time here. The property is nice although you have neighbors above you and beside you. It is a short walk to the beach and a medium walk to the state line. The unit itself is large and clean. The AC was not very cool but we were not there on a very hot weekend luckily.

Close to Everything

The property was just like the photos online. There was just the right amount of space for 8 people to co-exist and enjoy meals and leisure time. Sleeping worked out very well and all of us were well-pleased with beds, rooms, and bathrooms. It was unanimous! Everyone wants to return next year!

weekend at Tahoe

We had a group of friends stay for a weekend celebration. As we were all senior citizens, we did not miss having a hot tub or pool. The location was great, we could walk to Whole Foods for incidentals and some restaurants were close by. We did not gamble, but the casinos are also close. It did seem as if the warnings about noise were a little strident, but it was very quiet. We searched for two days for the garbage disposal switch before we finally found it by looking up under the sink. All the beds were comfortable.

The Weekend Full of Surprises

All in all, our time spent was fun. However, there were many surprises that occurred. The central heating system was down so the property manager provided electric heaters. This was fine, except we had to keep them on the lowest setting in order to not blow a breaker. Even then, the breaker blew many times during our stay. The other surprise was the 2 feet of snow that fell while we were there. it definitely changed our plans, but we made the best out of it. The property was nice, my only complaint would be I wish the customer service was a little more understanding and accommodating.

Nice Unit

A very lovely unit. Ultimately, I am giving it 4 stars because there is no working live TV and TV is listed as an amenity. There were instructions on how to access the YouTube TV through the ROKU system next to each Television and we had access to it only on our first night. In addition to the non-working TV, there were a few minor hiccups that the management company was able to resolve right away (upper shower not working, towel rack off the wall and the bunk bed rail was a little loose). But they never resolved the lost TV access. Big bummer as TV seems to be a basic amenity.

Great Location for access to Heavenly and Lake.

This is a nice cozy place to stay. We are 4 adults. It will sleep up to 10, however the living area is small, so it will be crowded with 10 people. It was very clean. A few issues that we had were that it was hard to heat the downstairs where the master bedroom and the bunkbed bedroom are located. They had space heaters, but it was still quite cold. The master bedroom’s king bed needs to be replaced. Every time my spouse rolled over or got out of bed, the bed squeaked and woke me up. Extra blankets or a heavier comforter would have been nice too. Body wash in shower was empty in both master bathroom and hall bathroom downstairs. The TV in master bedroom had no Wi-Fi signal. Suitcase racks would be nice in bedrooms. There were only 5 coffee cups and wine glasses. Might be a problem for a bigger group. Hopefully manager/owner will read this review and fix these issues. We did not see a way to contact the owner through VRBO about these issues so we decided to write it in review instead.

My vacation

The condo/townhome was very nice. Clean, had everything you would possibly need for a vacation home. Was aesthetically very nice. And it’s a great location if you want to be close to everything. Unfortunately, we did not have a gate code to get inside of the complex had to wait 40 minutes for that then when we got to the front door, we didn’t succeed with the code that was given to us. After calling the one 800 number they said I was gonna have to go with a generic code that they sent me which was fine, but we were standing outside for another 20 minutes. Honestly found no issues with the townhome itself. I don’t have anything bad to say about this day. We were very comfortable and felt safe in our surroundings, etc. Whomever is overseen this property as far as management needs to step it up . There is a note inside on the wall laminated with all of the rules that says we cannot use the hot tub past 10 PM. There was no hot tub. Second of all the mishap with the gate in the door was a little offputting and they weren’t very kind about it , customer service almost seemed a little irritated. But for me, the last straw on the customer service side was I had been trying to reach out since Thursday to ask for a simple late check out. Considering you get there Friday, you cannot check in till 4 PM then you have to check out by 10 AM on Sunday seems a little ridiculous considering the amount of money you’re spending I feel it should be noon to noon. Anyhow, not happy w/ Management.

Continuos Noise from the condo above.

The condo itself is very nice and as expected. It overall was clean, however, the floors do not appear to get cleaned as the bottom of our feet turn black if we walked on the floor w/o shoes. The major problem with this condo, is that it is a first and second floor condo with another condo above. We stayed 8 days and had to listen to continual foot stopping, running, things being dropped (sounded like bowling balls), chairs dragging, and on and on. This was continual during the day all the way into the night. We slept in the master which on the first floor, but the noise above was incredibly loud even though we had our main floor above us with the other apartment above that. We were awakened numerous times, and two different times during the week at 4:30 am in the morning. I complained several times to Tahoe Grand Vacations, and while courteous nothing changed in the behavior of the families staying above us. I believe that since these are 3 bedroom condos, renters pack as many people as they can into one unit(we counted about 12 above us). If they allow that number of people, they should have built the condos with more substantial sound barrier between the top and bottom units. So, this is not the place, if you want a quiet, to stay. The other odd thing about this complex is the all the units face towards the center where they have positioned two banks of dumpsters. So, you sit on your balcony overlooking two fenced dumpster stations.
