Great View - Needs Cleaning Attention and Home Touches
The house was perfectly located for our trip to hike Desolation Wilderness.The view is absolutely spectacular.
All necessary features are provided, although for those who expect a TV in the master bedroom, there is only one TV and that is in the main living area and positioned awkwardly for viewing.
The bed and linens were comfortable. Lots of hot water and water pressure was good (I care about my showers!).
The downside: There were a ton of spider webs all over. I know that we are in Tahoe, and that there are spiders, but this was an amount that does not happen with regular thorough cleanings. Even the shower stall had very significant cobwebs in the windowsill right next to where you stand. The cobwebs were truly all over, including webs I had to wipe off just to get into the master bed (strung from the wall, across the lamp, over the bed, to the window).
And...TONS of big, black spiders were popping up constantly. In the bathroom, master bedroom, kitchen. They say they do pest control as best as possible, but having stayed in Tahoe countless times in the last 40 years, I have NEVER seen this many spiders. This may be a byproduct of not cleaning thoroughly enough throughout the house. The fireplace still had a half burned log and ashes.
There is also no attention to decorations. The master bedroom had nothing on the walls except black marks/scrapes. Ditto downstairs. Not very homey.
Still - worth the view every morning/night!
