Great location and fully stocked

10 minutes from the lift and about 7 from town. Fantastic location. Kitchen was fully stocked. Had the kids downstairs and parents upstairs. Would also work to have each family on a floor. Very nice property. No complaints! Would stay here again

Perfect location for South Tahoe

Ski trip with friends - the house was a great size for hanging out in, the location was perfect for getting too and from the mountain, and the hot tub for relaxing at the end of each day was perfect!

Snowy trip

The house was nice and had what we needed for our short stay. Being able to park in the garage was great, especially with our large vehicle. If you book in the winter, read the contract since they do not provide snow removal in the booking cost. We had to shovel upon arrival to get into the house. I wish this was detailed in the property listing since I did not read the contract until after the full refund cancellation date had passed.

Great stay, definitely coming back

I had a lot of fun staying here. Went here with my partner, family and two family friends. The cabin is cozy and warm. Great location as it is close to Sierra-at-Tahoe and Heavenly. Instructions are clear and very easy to follow. The property is very much worth the price. There were only a few issues that are very fixable: 1. There's a very slippery part of the floor in between the pool table and couch that could get someone injured if they fall that hard. 2. I woke up in the middle of the night to see that the downstairs area was 87, even though fireplaces were turned off, there seemed to be no thermostat downstairs and the thermostat I could find upstairs read that the heat was only set to around 70. Could be an issue with the heater, but again, very fixable - we opened the bedroom doors and used fans. Didn't ruin the stay at all :)

Great bones, but in need of a refresh

This is a spacious house, but it's just tired. Pots and pans are worn out, random collection of staples in the cabinets. The deck railing is about to fall off and there are hundreds of screw heads stuck up all over the deck, don't dare go out on it with bare feet. We had to relight the fireplace pilot light (a project). and the gate to the back yard is literally non-operable, the hinges are torn out of the rotted frame. The hut tub is missing all its cushions, the bedding is subpar. The upstairs lights are glaring, need dimmers. This place could be nice again, but the owner needs to spend a few nights here and see how it is for a guest.

A few areas need some updating fior safety. Some walls need cleaning in entry. Otherwise very nice. When givng entry info, it would be nice to let guests know what is available in kitchen, ie salt, pepper, paper towel,, kleenex, etc basics. We ordered ahead on Instacart, so what we thought was good to go was not. I think that is a thing of COVID n what we all went through. Thanks for being patient with me n planning, too.

Plenty of space for a group of teens and adults

We had a wonderful time. The house was very spacious for our group of 8. The weather was rough at times and we had to stay in more than we had planned but we took full advantage of the pool table, hot tub, and also cooked up a storm in the amazing kitchen. I rarely have seen a kitchen, which has so many amenities. Overall a great experience. We would go back anytime.

Good stay with some minor issues

Overall, a nice stay with a group of 9 of us. Pictures as described on the listing. Couple issues…1. We got to the property and tried to access via our access code and the door was not working to let us in. We tried multiple times and it seemed as though the battery was not working so we called the number found in my messages with the details with no response. We called about 10 times with no answer. They had a local contact listed on the front entryway who we called and luckily after a bit he was able to assist us getting inside. The property manager did not call us back until the next morning stating “I’m sorry I missed your calls, I hope you made it into the property”. If you have a guest checking in on a day, you should always be available in case of issues like ours. 2… we could not figure out the hot tub situation and why it was not heating up which the owner called a maintenance person out to look at it and we were told it has to be turned on 24 hours before you want to use it so it can get to temperature but there were no instructions on this so for future it would be helpful to know this information. 3…some other minor things: there are many signs about noise violations if you’re too loud which is a turnoff overall; there was only 1 roll of paper towels provided and we were a group of 9 who had dinner there most nights so this was a little difficult and we didn’t know there wouldn’t be more on property nor could we find any

Convenient location to downtown South Lake Tahoe.

The home is only 15 min from downtown Lake Tahoe - easy to get to. Large open floor plan with a pool table right in the middle of the family room/kitchen area. Master bathroom was Very large. Nice neighborhood. Nice place to stay. A little over an hour to North Star and the Palisades Ski resorts. Views are incredible driving around the lake. Make sure you purchase a parking pass for the Palisades in advance on the weekends our you won't be able to go.

Excessive Hostile Signage, Well-Worn Property

The first thing you're greeted by upon arrival is a sign on the exterior of the front door threatening fines and eviction for noise. Then you find out these same notices are taped onto every door and window in the common areas of the home. These notices are aggressive, inappropriate, and downright unwelcoming. Though the law only prohibits "excessive noise," these hostile notices made us feel like we could not enjoy ourselves at any volume. One notice contained a printout of the relevant law with the portions implicating the owner blacked out. I don't find these harassing and deceptive practices acceptable at all, so I would not book any property from this company again. If in fact this property has had trouble with noise in the past, the owners might think to decorate the upstairs in a way that avoids creating an echo chamber. This property also shows significant signs of wear and tear. The listing photos are out of date. It seems like this was probably a very nice rental cabin maybe 20 years ago.

Family Fun

As advertised! Clean, new, all the modern touches, beautifully appointed. Floor plan was perfect. Worked great for the two of us (upstairs) and our son/wife/two little boys (downstairs with two beds, bath, tv room, access to yard). Ample room for dinners for twelve each night when our daughter and family visited from their nearby rental. Close enough to beaches, grocery stores etc. Quiet residential neighborhood. Enjoyed the pool table and jacuzzi. Only things lacking were laundry soap, dishwasher soap, and tissues. Really enjoyed our time together there with all that Tahoe has to offer close at hand. Highly recommend; would stay there again.

Weathered property

The size of the property met expectations however the house reflected heavy wear and tear more than most rental properties. Basic items were not stock (salt/pepper, laundry detergent, etc.) Also, my daugther was biten by a spider in her bed which will require medical attention. The beds in on the first floor were not comfortable and the bedspreads were old. I would not recommend this property for future stays.

Short and sweet getaway

We had a great stay in this lodge. The lodge is conveniently located and was minutes away from Heavenly, Downtown, restaurants, etc. When we arrived, the place was not cleaned after the previous stay due to a mixup of the schedules. But we called the landlady and she immediately had it cleaned up. She was also helpful when we asked for an late checkout due to a medical reason. The lodge was spacious and the amenities were as advertised. Bedrooms were comfortable and bathrooms were in good order. All the equipment worked well except for the surround sound which seemed to be disconnected for some reason. We also enjoyed the pool table. Great stay - even though we had a hiccup in the beginning, I still give this a five stars overall.

Great Weekend in Tahoe

This house was great for our weekend stay. It fit a large group comfortably and was very well stocked with household needs. However, there were a small amount of towels for the number of people we had but there was a washer and dryer so we could reuse the towels. The downstairs outdoor area was also kind of a bummer. The jacuzzi lid was very hard to remove and nowhere to store it so we couldn’t fully remove it when using the jacuzzi. The open space outback also needs some TLC - the deck is coming apart and the open space is unkept and unusable. We still had a great time in the house. It was comfortable for a large group and a great location for getting around Tahoe!!

amazing time

Everything was perfect about the house, location, and cleanliness. However, the hot tub was not working properly (only 2 jets out of 6 jets were working). Also, it was molding water wasleaking from upstairs balcony to the whole downstairs deck including hot tub. However, the manager was very nice to help. In addition, we cleaned up the ice in the upstairs balcony and downstairs deck, and fix the garage door which has only one screw installed. I think, some of the house parts and equipment need renewal as one of the reviewers mentioned before.
