A Sweet Stay
House was well equipped. Downside was that house had not been prepared for arrival (water and hot water not turned on and house could have used a good cleaning); however owner was very responsive, quickly, with giving direction to get back on track.

Another Great Tahoma Stay
This is at least the fifth time our family has stayed at this vacation home. It’s comfortable, has a well supplied kitchen, and is always clean. And the location is wonderful! It’s at the end of the road and is quite private, and right next to the forest with great hiking and sledding opportunities. We will be back.

We loved everything about this property! First of all communication with the owner was outstanding, thank you! The place was beyond outstanding. Spacious, two fireplaces, very clean, great location, close to the ski resorts, games to play and movies to watch, walking trail from the cabin, BBQ on the deck, and all the appliances you need just like you were at home. The owner even created a guest book that is a Bible for everything in the area, food, sking, etc... We will definitely rent here again. Our family had the BEST time.

Wonderful location, heaven at Lake Tahoe!
One of the few (maybe the only) properties that mirror the description at HomeAway. Clean, well organized rental. Everything was in working order. The kitchen had everything needed. We stayed a month and our only issue was that we couldn’t initially get connected to the internet. The issue was resolved immediately!

Had a great time and your cabin was very nice. The people who were in the cottage parked over so far
That we had to park one in front of the other. The only thing that was uncomfortable was thT it was very hot in there with all the fans on . I don't know if it was hotter than normal causing it. But would still come back.

Peaceful retreat
My family had a lovely time staying in this home. It is in a quiet, well kept neighborhood. The kitchen was well appointed with everything we needed to make ourselves at home including coffee maker and hot water kettle. The beds and pillows were very comfortable and extra towels were available in the linen closet. The furniture was comfortable and in great condition. Ample lighting and heat for the chilly evenings. We especially enjoyed lunch on the front deck and star gazing at night. There’s a trail up the forest right next to the house where we enjoyed east hikes each day. It was such a beautiful peaceful weekend at this house. Easy and short drive to the main road and the lake shore Perfectly situated away from all the crazy crowds that summer weekends in Tahoe can bring.

Worst experience. You will be sharing the home with strangers
Not safe. You will be sharing the home with strangers. They will tell you other wise but the owner lies. The pictures and property is not the same. The owner has false pictures. They will threaten you with extra charges.

Well appointed home with large parking area right off hwy 89
Really enjoyed our 4 day stay! Nice location right off highway 89. Last home on street and is perfect for people with children. Pretty, updated kitchen with great stove,oven and cookware and utensils and granite counter tops. Loved the large outside deck and extra chairs. Bedrooms are all a nice size. 2 downstairs and a loft and master bedroom upstairs. The loft bed sleeps 2 small children or 1 adult. Plenty of additional room on the floor in the loft area. Located near Obexer's for boat or Sea Doo launching. Located 7 or 8 minutes south on 89 to Meek's Bay and about 15 + minutes south to D.L. Bliss State Park. Get to Meek's Bay or D.L. Bliss by 11:00 a.m. on summer days for easy parking and beach access. Home is very comfortable and the owners are easy to work with. The home felt comfortable. Would definitely come back again.

We were traveling with my family with younger children, and my in-laws (with limited mobility). The cabin was so comfortable for all of us and had enough room for us to spread out, and also to spend time together. The kitchen was VERY well stocked and appreciated.

Happy Place
We had booked this property for 33 days to get away from some of the heat and humidity of our hometown, New Orleans. As soon as we entered the house we knew we had made a great choice. We immediately felt at home. The property was extremely clean and the furniture was very nice and comfortable, For a rental, we were very surprised at how well it was stocked. We did not have to buy detergent, softner, dishwashing soap, etc. Communication with the owner and was quick and helpful. The location is great as it is at the end of a deadend street, so very quiet. A nice walking path is right at the edge of the property. We even got to see a couple of bears, one with her cub. The deck was our place for morning coffee and afternoon cocktails. We would definitely consider this property again I would not change anything about our visit, except that we could stay longer.

Perfection at Lake Tahoe
Lake Tahoe is a perfect place and this house makes it even better. We loved our stay. The location is ideal...at the end of a street right off of the main road near beautiful walking trails. The house has three bedrooms and two baths with comfortable beds and plenty of linens. The kitchen is well-stocked with everything we needed. It was clean and had plenty of paper goods, a TV in every room with a gas fireplace and propane bbq. The owners were easily accessible and very helpful. I don't know how it could be improved.

Wonderful Tahoe Home
This was the 2nd time we stayed at this home, and it sealed it for us. We will stay here every time we vacation at Lake Tahoe! The layout is great for privacy and communal living. The kitchen has everything so we cooked every night but one. The place is clean and very comfortable. We especially enjoyed sitting out on the deck. Thank you for offering such a nice place for us vacationers to feel at home.
