Last weekend of summer
Me and my family of 12 got to spend our last weekend of summer in this beautiful home. Jeff made took in super to convenient. We got to check in an hour early because we were driving from LA with grandparents and they couldn’t wait to check in. The location was super convenient for all the trails and lakes we had on our agenda, and the Jacuzzi was the best part!

Great spot for our group of friends
My friends and I planned a get-together at Tahoe and this property ended up serving as the perfect location for it. The property was very large, able to easily accommodate the 11 of us, and was very clean and well kept. We made use of the theater room often during our stay, a great feature that isn't found in most properties. The neighborhood was quiet but easily accessible from the main roads, and getting to Stateline was a quick drive. Overall great property and great experience!

Relaxing first trip to Tahoe
We had a wonderful stay for our first time in Tahoe. Jeff was always very communicative whenever we had questions and the place was exactly what we signed up for. The hot tub was the most peaceful experience in the early mornings and evenings. The communal spaces were the perfect gathering areas. The bedrooms were cozy and we loved the subtle themed decor (the German room was my favorite!). The movie room was super fun! I would definitely recommend staying here with a group of 8-10 and if I ever come back with a group that size, we'll stay here again!

We had a wonderful time during our stay! The property is well maintained and clean. Kids enjoyed the huge screen in the movie room!

Great Getaway!
We were a group of 12 (7 adults (1 18YO), 5 kids (16, 11, 9, 9, 7. The place is as advertised and all communication and dealing with Jeff was very easy. He responded to all inquiries in a timely manner. We normally stay on the west shore or north shore, but the south shore had some really nice beaches, hikes and places to eat. Note this is a somewhat "local" neighborhood and if you're looking for a "party" house, I'd recommend elsewhere. But if you need a place to stay near south shore and don't mind a 15 minute drive to the local beaches or into town (but be honest everything around Tahoe takes time) I'd highly recommend this rental.

Cute cabin
We stayed for 4 nights with a group of 9 adults + 2 kids. The location, neighborhood, etc. were great. Communication with host and check process also excellent. Hot tub was a big hit with the kids. But the house itself was a little disappointing for a few reasons and I probably wouldn't stay again. First, it wasn't all that hot outside (highs in mid-70s to low 80s) but somehow the house really holds heat on the top floor and this made it very uncomfortable indoors in the afternoons. We followed all the instructions about windows open at night and then close in late morning but it was unpleasantly hot so we just made an effort to not be at the house during that time. Second, the bathrooms, particularly the bath/showers, were really gross with mold all around the edges. Third, I thought the listing had described the sofa in the media room as a sofabed, but when we arrived we found it was just a regular sofa and not comfortable enough for sleeping on. We had planned on one single person sleeping there and ended up moving them into the bunk bed room with another family, which was fine but not ideal and I wish we had known that when booking. Fourth, the kitchen was not as well stocked as most rental houses we've used, we had to purchase some baking dishes (muffin pan), the pots are not in great shape, and we only had enough utensils for one meal at a time. Overall, it was a perfectly fine house and we had a great time in Tahoe but not sure I would pick this one again.

Beautiful Get-away
This home is in a beautiful neighborhood that backs up to the forest. The view encapsulates everything beautiful about Lake Tahoe- the tall beautiful trees. The home set up had all the items needed to live in without needing to head to the store for incidentals. The floor plan Was perfect to accommodate multi-family/friends with the open floor plan and separation of restrooms etc. We will book again. The hosts are also amazing with communication.

Nice, cozy house
We ended up reserving during the snow storm and Jeff was nice enough to keep us informed regarding the road closures and other things on our way up there. Our car was stuck in the snow storm and Jeff was really helpful in asking his neighbors to help us. His neighbors offered to take us to get groceries and he kept us posted throughout our short stay. House is warm, cozy and we were able to enjoy our family time.

Really is perfect for a family gathering/getaway!
I complete quite a bit of research before deciding on a place to rent for a family or friend's gathering and this place was the perfect home for us for 4 days. There were 3 families and my 15 month old is a late walker so the open space upstairs was perfect for him to explore and get in more safe practice because there was even a baby gate available to help make this happen. The home was clean so we didn't have to worry about him being on the floor all day. We also maintained the home the best we could from what equipment was available. The location was great for us since we didn't plan on going anywhere but we did make a run to the store for more supplies and Raley's is about 15 minutes away. We loved how secluded the home was and nearby was a dead-end street that the kids and adults were able to sled safely. Its a really good slope that flattens out at the end so bring your sleds! The kitchen is definitely well equipped compared previous homes I've rented. There were even kids plates/bowls and shot glasses! We made family meals throughout our stay and was glad we brought our huge stock pot. I'm not sure if it's the amount of cooking we did or if the stove emits a lot of heat. Even the dial for the range was hot to the touch. It was more of a concern than an issue. We just made sure none of the kids came close to it. The bath amenities were a nice touch and the hot tub was a hit after playing in the snow all day. The bathrooms have additional towel racks which is a huge plus that many homes and even hotels overlook. The kids played in the pile of snow that was on the balcony and also in the backyard right next to the hot tub. There were a few things I needed to contact Jeff about while there but he was very helpful, accommodating and literally responds within the hour at most. I would recommend this home and return again should we have another trip of 12 people. Thank you for your hospitality Jeff and Merry Christmas!

Jeff was very prompt with responding to any questions, he checked in throughout the weekend to ensure we had everything we needed and enjoyed our stay, while keeping us updated on conditions in the area. The property was as listed, clean and spacious. Our group enjoyed the relative location to South Lake Tahoe and the surrounding areas.

We love how all the drawers and cabinets are labelled. The welcome document was also very thorough and helpful. Also loved how Jeff gave a list of their favorite SLT activities via a Yelp List. It was really helpful and we even did a few of the local hikes he recommended. Will definitely bookmark this house for our future summer adventures.

About the host

Hosted by Jeff Servaites

Host profile image
We are Jeff & Danielle from San Francisco. Jeff is originally from Ohio and Danielle Sonoma County. We met and fell in love in San Francisco and bought our Tahoe home a few years ago as a place to get away with friends during the winter.

We love hiking, biking, skiing and taking the boats out on the lake. When not playing outside, Jeff can be found in the Bay Area, working as a Product Design Engineer. Danielle works as a Design Researcher at Square.

Why they chose this property

Jeff is originally from Ohio but moved to the bay area in 2006 and immediately fell in love with Tahoe as his adventure getaway. Danielle grew up going to Tahoe in the winter. We bought the house as a place to spend time with family and friends. We use the house full time in the winter but rent it out the rest of the year. We hope you will enjoy it as much as we do.

What makes this property unique

We Immediately Fell in Love With the Location and the Space for All of Our Family & Friends. When You Are Lounging in the Living Room (2nd Floor) You Look Around and All You See Are Pine Trees That Make You Feel Like You Are in a Giant Tree House.

there is a Great Bonus Room Downstairs That We Turned Into a Big Movie Room With a Projector and Cozy Couches.

and a Night is Not Complete Without a Dip in the Hot Tub.
