House in Shambles
When arriving the bearmat was disconnected. When entering the house know there is no air conditioning so if you are sensitive to heat I wouldnt reccomend staying. The floor of the living room was heavily scratched. The deck of the balcony should be checked because some boards are loose and could be a tripping hazard. The hottub had to be reset many times over the course of our trip but was fine over all. The place is very worn down, with doors, cabinets, and tables being scratched up too.The couches were fine and comfortable, aswell as the master bedroom bed and the lower solo bedroom. The bunk beds were creaky and painful after long periods of rest The screen door also had issues with even functioning. The bathrooms were very nice but I do reccomend putting a bathmat in the lower floors bathroom because it could be a slipping hazard. The bottom floors tiles are not set in place and you can hear them shifting and feel them slightly moving. One bonus is they do have netflix and hulu on the tv, and the hot water and water pressure were very nice. Over all i would give this a 3 out of 5 stars, it can be an enjoyable stay but the cons overway the good, good if you just need a place to sleep and shower. We did have a bear break in to the garage while we were sleeping and it seems like it has happened before. It tore up trash and a garage door, and we were told to just leave it alone, which attracted the bear.

Bad all the way around
The house was fine but upon arrival the hot tub did not work, the propane on the grill was out and the communication with the vacasa manager was terrible. They were unresponsive and dismissive of our requests to get things fixed. I spent hrs on the phone with vacasa only to have them revert me back to the local manager who continued to ignore me. For a trip that costs thousands of dollars they refunded $190 for a hot tub that didn't work. Not worth it - would never stay here or recommend it again or recommend working with vacasa ever. An overall bad experience for what was supposed to be a relaxing 4th of july week.

Snow storm.
We had flown cross-country, when we landed we were informed that our reservation was canceled a hour and a half before check-in. I understand the weather was awful, but there answer was we can reschedule in the next 30 days. After almost 2 hours on the phone with vacasa we able to reestablish our reservation starting a day later they informed us they were not able have the place cleaned. When we arrived the place was trashed, the prior renters were slobs, we found the place a little run down,

Not as advertised
Accommodation COULD be amazing. It is currently very tired, needing some TLC, especially the hot tub and outside areas which are untidy, dirty and in a state of disrepair. Had an issue one night where the door to the property could not be locked as it was broken. Not worth the price that it is listed at - unless they spend some money on it.

Not worth the price, poor quality rental
There were more cons than pros at this rental. We rent in Tahoe often and this was the worst lodge conditions. All the beds were uncomfortable especially the bunk beds, you could feel every spring. Hardly enough blankets for a winter lodge. Only 8 forks total and the cutlery was just old. No foil or zip locks or mixing bowls, just cheap old cook wear. Couches were a joke, just old and gross leather, couch pillows just had a nasty texture. Hot tub smelt like something died in it. This was the only thing they came out to fix the next day but then it took forever to reheat the new water that we ended up with one day's use out of 3 days. Dishwasher was missing wheels for the dish basins plus no dishwasher soap was provided. The only pros were the refrigerator and stove were nice. Overall you can get a nicer place in Tahoe for the Price they charged. It just seems like they don't care about the property other than doing basic cleaning for the next renters, which is probably why we found bedding and other items still in the washer and dryer. The dryer hardly works. I don't typically leave reviews unless the quality was top notch or the lowest of the low this rental is rock bottom.

Don't Stay Here
Every bad review on here is accurate and Vacasa has not done anything to fix it. The doors are falling off, the carpet is dirty, the couches are gross and uncomfortable, the kitchen is not well-equipped for cooking. Additionally, the beds felt dirty and I have a serious concern about bed bugs after staying here.

Perfect family getaway
It's true, the furniture is outdated, the carpet is a little stained, the bedroom door is hard to close, and yes they need more towels.....but it didn't hinder us from having the best time ever! The home is large, tons of room for everyone and we were super comfy, and thrilled to have a jacuzzi. Location was super close to town and the lake. We will be thrilled to be able to stay here again. Thank you for having us.

Great cabin but needs some closer attention
The cabin itself was super nice! Working heater so everything was warm, the upstairs looks amazing. There were some doors tho, like the master bathroom toilet door that weren’t working, they were broken. The trash receptacle was full and there were no extra trash bags provided, and the driveway wasn’t groomed before we came, so our truck had difficulty getting out of the driveway. Besides those cons, the cabin was super nice and had all the basics, I’d definitely stay here again.

Great House but...
Plenty of room for us and our dog. We were there during the heatwave and with no AC, the lower back yard grass was a nice cool place to hang out. I would have given 5 starts except the bar to remove the hot tub cover was broken. The cover is *very heavy so all we could do was shove it to one side, but that only gave access to 1 of the seats with jets. It's an awesome tub. Too bad we could not fully utilize it.

Summer family getaway 2022
My husband and I took our adult kids (19 and 22) and thier significant others to Tahoe for summer vacation. We pick Tahoe Vista area because of central location to Incline, Kings Beach, Truckee and Tahoe City. This house was very spacious in the living and kitchen area. However, the decor and amenities were VERY outdated! The bedrooms had tube TVs, closets were filled with junk and broken items. The BBQ works but had broken legs. The deck had several broken chairs left out. Sleds were laying in the in the front yard even though it's summer time. Carpet on stairs was gross. It worked fine for us, but if you are looking form clean, cute and tidy VRBO for your stay.. keep looking.

Dated and Dirty
This house has stained linens from the 80’s, filthy carpet; chipped toilets; a used bandaid on the deck; broken deck chairs (By the way, I guess it's BYOChairs because there are literally only two chairs on the entire deck and both were torn apart...apparently by a bear...that's what they told us.); a trash strewn yard and deck (also the bear's doing??); a dirty, broken hot tub; decaying bathroom drywall; smashed "fake rock" deck speakers (circa 1992?); a dilapidated deck umbrella; the list goes on and on but I think you get the idea.

The only reasons we went with this property, and paid 3xs as much for it, was because it stated (on multiple sites) that up to 4 dogs were welcome and that dogs could stay at no additional charge, and that they had a hot tub. We paid for our trip and received an email stating only one dog could join us--and for an additional cost. I called customer service and spoke with the rep as well as his manager. They stated that "for whatever reason the owner of the property changed this" and that they were allowed to do so and that I could only bring 1 dog and had to pay an additional $25 per day for our dog. But they were "sorry" for the inconvenience of me having to board my other 2 dogs with our local vet for $350! Then we received a text message the day of our trip saying "due to Covid" the hottub was unavailable. Sooooo.....it's ok to share somewhat cleaned toiletries and utensils but not a chlorine filled hot tub? We got there and my mom had a very hard time with the steepness and the stairs, so this is not somewhere you would want to book for elderly people or ones who have difficulties walking. Plus I was glad I didn't bring any more dogs than my 1 because there wasn't an enclosed yard so we had to take him out on a leash every few hours. Also, when we went to leave, I gathered up all of our sheets and towels, like asked, and saw that our mattress had big stains all over it-so gross. It's a big house and clean enough at a glance, but I definitely wouldn't stay here again.

Nice home - fixed issues from previous reviews
This was a spacious house with a hot tub and was pet friendly. It is in a great location and was perfect for our ski adventure base. At first, we were concerned with many of the reviews stating that things were broken and that the cabin wasn't stocked with kitchenware, but it seemed fine to us. The kitchen had pots and pans, sheet pans, glass wine glasses, etc so I think that some of the previous reviews have been corrected. We didn't find anything broken on the house itself and, either way, our stay was great so if there were maintenance items they didn't hinder us having a good time! The jacuzzi was a nice touch after a day of skiing and seems to work well, keeping temperature up to 103 for a relaxing dip. I also really like the open common space for everyone to congregate. Lots of fun. I felt the beds were comfy and we slept perfectly fine on them. The kids slept fine in the top bunk beds and loved it. Previous reviews mentioned carpeting, but there was only a very small amount throughout the house so maybe the majority of the carpet had been replaced with wood floor. All in all, I feel this cabin is definitely worth a stay and the owners/managers have fixed many of the existing issues.

Great Location/Home
This property had the best location for what we needed. Short drive to coffee/restaurants, short walk to a lake view, near trail heads, etc. The neighborhood was sleepy which was perfect for us. The only thing I would call out is that this is run by a property management company and there are a few minor things that could up fixed (sliding door in bathroom, closet door that doesn't latch, patio blind that doesn't roll up). Nothing that will hinder your stay - just something a handyman fix.

Desperately needs upgrade
Filthy carpet (I get it, you take dogs, get commercial carpet or flooring), so many broken things — closet door in bunk room, all three hair dryers, light for stove, light for commode in Master Bath. NO A/C. It was suddenly crossed out. Meaning, it HAS AC it's just broken and no one has fixed it. It was SO hot the first night because nothing had been opened up. Sleeps 8, but only 3 deck chairs, there were two very low beach chairs, one was broken. Dining room chair seating Rafia, one had a HOLE in the middle. Master bedroom door is coming off hinges. Floor and surfaces were SO sticky. SO MANY HIDDEN COSTS: booking fee, service fee, hot tub fee, blah blah. Ended up being charged more than double the daily listed rate. Will never, ever use VRBO, Vacasa, whatever. Will tell EVERYONE about the horrible experience and NO ONE has contacted us. Disgraceful (we were gathering together to remember my father who died). on and on. YUCK

The location was great for our needs. The cabin needs some TLC but it didn’t bother me a bit; it added a little rustic cabin-y feel to it. The deck and hot tub was a nice hangout after a whole day’s adventuring. I may consider staying in the winter for the snow experience.

Want clean, comfy and get a good nights sleep? Go somewhere else.
My family (2 parents and 2 teens) and another family (1 parent and 2 teens) chose to stay here because of its location to Northstar village. The house is in a beautiful neighborhood, great location. That is where the positive ends. Let’s start with the kitchen. For a home that sleeps eight people, there are six forks and six knives, and I’m pretty sure they were from the bottom of the 10cent bin at Goodwill. I can’t count how many spatulas, slotted spatulas, and tongs there were but there were only two kitchen towels provided. There is no glassware, instead there is a bunch of 8oz plastic tumblers that I’m pretty sure my grandma had in 1975. Nothing for wine, nothing for beer… No glassware of any kind. There is a lot of cookware, but no serving plates or bowls. Lots of mismatched dinner plates and coffee cups and bowls. And keep in mind, every single plate or pan that we used had to be cleaned before we used it. On to the bedrooms. The door to the master bedroom, which is located on the main floor, has broken hinges. So, to close the door you need to give it a shove with your shoulder. The pocket door to the toilet doesn’t work… Literally has a sign on it that says “out of order“. The beds in all three rooms creek and squeak when you move. All of the mattresses are extremely dilapidated… The mattress for the queen bed downstairs is bowed. The linens were scratchy and itchy (my daughter got a rash) and there were nowhere near enough towels provided. The dressers have the quality of some thing left over at a garage sale that someone is trying to give away. Hot tub was heated when we arrived, but the water level was at least 1/3 too low. The top panel on the outside of the hot tub is missing and the steps are cracked, making the plastic stick out… Safety hazard. Oh, and let’s not forget the used Band-Aid that was stuck to the side of the hot tub when we arrived. In the yard downstairs, there were empty beer cans, bottle caps and cigarette butts all over. Lastly, upon our arrival we opened the garage to bring in our things, only to be met by approximately 12 bags of garbage from the previous renters. We left a day early because we felt driving home 4 hours was a better use of our time than spending another night in the uncomfortable beds.One clean, comfy and get a good nights sleep? Go somewhere else. This might be a great place for some 20-year-olds who just want to get drunk after skiing all day and need a bed to crash in.
