Great Tahoe stay

This house was located close to the lake, restaurants, and grocery stores. We came to ski and it was a short 15 minute drive to palisades. The house is great! We loved watching sunset from the hot tub. The rooms are spacious. Bathrooms are great. We really enjoyed our cabin trip here.

Relaxing Tahoe weekend

Rented the home for 8 adults and an 8 month old. House was perfect for our needs. Having a crib, high chair and some toys made packing much easier. We spent a lot of time just relaxing on the deck. Just a short ways up there were well maintained trails out to Paige Meadows or into town. The stroller could even handle them. We made meals and the kitchen had everything we needed. The hot tub must have been replaced because it’s even nicer than the one in her ad. Wish we had gone a little earlier because the Sunnyside deck was closed already but we ate outside at Bridgetender and Chambers. Couldn’t have had a nicer 4 days and the location of this house is perfect for enjoying the west shore.

comfy vacation house

House looked exactly as described in the website. Very comfy, cozy, and equipped with everything. The jacuzzi tub was a plus. There are a lot of stores, coffee shops close by. The only minor thing was the washer/dryer taking a long time and restarting in the middle of a cycle. Overall, our experience was excellent!

This home is a treat

This is the most well-appointed rental home I have ever stayed in - the kitchen was more stocked than my own! We made great use of each of the many bedrooms, the childrens' toys & books, board games, high chair, crib, baby gates, childrens' utensils, extra blankets & pillows, extra fans, and cookware. I especially appreciated that there were essentials in the refrigerator and pantry, so we didn't need to buy things like condiments, butter, coffee, and more. It was seamless to book and stay in this home. Sitting on the upper deck in the morning with coffee was the highlight of each day. I would recommend this home to any large groups, especially given the many bathrooms and ability for everyone to quickly shower after the beach. Finally, the location was spectacular - close to Commons Park Beach, Sugar Pine Point State Park, and downtown Tahoe City for shopping, restaurants, and activities - but still quiet and private back at the house. We loved this home, and would stay again.

Beautiful house and location

This was such a lovely house for me and my family (7 people). The location is perfect - west shore and so close to the lake (26 min walk, 3 min drive) - Sunnyside beach area and restaurant are right there for you. The house was clean and well stocked and you can tell the owners were very thoughtful in making it as efficient and clear for any visitor to have the stay they desire. The balcony view and the hot tub are icing on the cake. Joanne was incredibly responsive and helpful in accommodating an early check out when possible. Certainly hope to book again for the next trip.

Beautiful home with wonderful views

Everything was good except for the cleaning in general; it doesn’t look like a profesional HK cleaning we found cramps in the kitchen, the dishes weren’t organize properly, the toaster had a lot of cramps and the bathrooms weren’t very clean. Plus the carpet needs profesional cleaning too. The bed in the master bedroom makes a lot of noise every time I moved, it was annoying. Even that we had a great time, we enjoyed our stay in the beautiful place.

I chose this place as it had the best bed count for our group. Beds were very comfortable. The neighborhood was quiet and mtn bike and walking trails connect. Hot tub, ping pong and foos ball were a hit. Near town for restaurants and near several beaches.

Great time with family

We rented this house with my brother and sister. We had 6 adults and 5 kids between the ages of 10 and 16. We had a blast. Great house for all with ping pong table and foosball table for the kids (and adults!). Kitchen was one of the most well stocked we have ever seen. Beautiful outdoor patio. Just 5 minutes walk from the house down the street was this beautiful clearing with a spectacular view of Lake Tahoe and the mountains. Would recommend to anyone

Tahoe summer 2023!

We had a wonderful week stay at the lake house. The home was clean and we had plenty of space for our group of 10. Living there for a week was easy. The kitchen had everything we needed. Wish it had beach access as it was a busy 4th of July week but we still had a great time exploring. We even saw a bear!! Made our trip.

About the host

Hosted by Joanne Creel

Host profile image
This lovely home has been a VRBO rental for 10 years now and we are very excited to continue the tradition.

Why they chose this property

The house is located on a large lot. It is quite private with Nature Conservancy space on one side and a greenbelt on the other. The West Shore is a great part of Tahoe. The views of the lake from this side are beautiful, and so close to some of the best areas of Tahoe - Truckee, Squaw Valley and Emerald Bay. You can be hiking, mountain biking, or cross-country skiing through ten national forest regions with less than 5 minutes of driving. Its close to everything yet is comfortably secluded. If you don't want to make the 5 minute drive into town, the Natural Moon health food store and cafe, Tahoe House Bakery and Famers Market (on Thursdays) are even closer for high-quality natural and organic grocery shopping. For restaurants, there are so many wonderful places to eat while looking out over the river or the lake. Just down the street are the local Fire Sign Cafe and endlessly popular Sunnyside restaurant. Everyone enjoys Sunny Side, with their deck and vast expanse of windows looking out over the lake, a wonderful place to relax and watch the sun set. For breakfast and lunchtime is the Fire Sign Cafe. This restaurant and annex are both built in the charming, classic Tahoe style. In the warm weather you can also eat on their deck, looking over a lovely, small lot filled with grass, trees and flowers. The Fire Sign makes the best coffee, their portions are generous, and their food is delicious. Even waiting for a table there is fun, enjoy a coffee while waiting in the delightful restaurant annex, playing the board games or reading the books provided.

What makes this property unique

The large bedrooms, new beautiful Kitchen and great room combination with large windows make this home a comfortable gathering place for family and friends. A large deck off of the upstairs Great Room combination has outside seating and a gas BBQ The views of the lake and the quite atmosphere is enjoyable to everyone. All of the bathrooms have been updated.
This property is near skiing, hiking, beach and only1 mile to Tahoe City restaurants and shopping.
