Great stay
The property was great for the wonderful weekend vacation on every aspects. 1. Location Great location to the Tahoe beach access. Just work 10 minutes, it can access to the beach. Very safe and great view! This home also can access the Eagle Rock trail just in 2 minutes - only across the bridge and road - then take the trail around 15 mins, you can see the stunning view of the West Tahoe. To the Safeway, only 10 mins drive. Same driving time, it can enjoy all good restaurants in Tahoe city. 2. House Very clean rooms, all facilities and roomy spaces all rooms. One bedroom in second floor has very nice sofa bed - My daughter really enjoyed it. All kitchen stuffs are very clean and prepared all kinds of dishes, silver wears. I only prepared foods and fully enjoyed my trip. Hottub was great to enjoy clean Tahoe air at the night time! Fenced yard was great for my dog. It is very safe my dog can enjoy the nature. Creek access was convenient through the yard! If someone visit this home in summer season, use the creek as the private place. Overall this house is great for the family vacation!

Great Location with private creek access
We had a great time in Homewood. I brought my teenage son, his friend, and my two dogs. Very pet friendly area. I loved that we could walk out back and have a relaxing private creek for the dogs and the boys. We went up and down the creek with our paddle boards and it was so peaceful. We walked across the street to Eagle Rock Trailhead. The best view and it was only .5 miles to the top. The Markets, restaurants, and downtown were 5-15 minutes away. I will definitely be back. The only complaint I have is there was no barbecue grill and limited baking or cooking supplies. I like to stay in and cook more than most vacationers. I was able to buy the supplies I needed at the local Safeway.
