Absolutely amazing views. Only 1 mile from the ski lift and a few minutes from town.
We couldn't have found a better place for our family. The house had everything we needed.
Great house for our family of four on a week long ski vacation at Tahoe. A five minute drive to Heavenly made it super easy to go and come from a day of skiing. Views from the house living room and in the hot tub are amazing. House is modern and super clean. Owners were very responsive and communicated when needed. Would definitely stay here again!
The place is nice although we were under the impression it was ski-in, ski-out - it is NOT. It’s about a 10 minute walk or 5 minute drive to the gondola. Overall the place worked great. We had 9 guys and it slept all of us alright - 6 guys doubling up in queens, 2 of us in a king, and one on a cot. I think there was one more cot in a closet somewhere. I think the listing says it can sleep 12 but that would be really tight and probably have two people on couches. 8-9 is probably a better number.
Kitchen and dining area is really nice and well equipped. Deck area and hot tub were really nice and the view is amazing. Parking right in the driveway is easy. A little pricey but overall this place was a lot of fun and we’re happy with our stay.

The house is designed to be comfortable for eight adults (2 kings, 2 queens) with larger family groups able to use the cots, pack and play or cosleeping arrangements with their children. We do not generally allow more than eight adults.
We highly recommend skiing out of the California base of Heavenly not the Gondola. With the right snow conditions, expert ability and knowledge of the mountain it is possible to ski to and from the house through the trees. When there is snow on the road or side of the road it is possible for beginner/intermediate skiers to access the lift down the street and then return home via round-about run with small amount of skating. Alternately it is less than two minutes drive to the California base (busy days parking is backed up to the house anyway), having a non skier shuttle people down is a great option. Please contact me with any questions, I worked at Heavenly for 20 years and am happy to help maximize your ski experience.

Not nearly as nice as the pictures show
Not nearly as nice as the pictures show. This is an older house that has been renovated nicely, however the furniture has not been upgraded. The furniture is worn, the beds are squeaky and uncomfortable. Some of the deck furniture is actually broken.
Also worth noting and that the owner/manager was not at all flexible about deferring our reservation. We were concerned about the smoke from the fires and wanted to delay our visit, but he said no. Rather than losing money we decided to take a chance. Unfortunately we only got one clear day out of the three days we were there. Overall it was a bad experience.

The furniture was all new with the remodel in 2018. Vacation renting can be hard on it and we replace and upgrade as needed. I did deliver new out door seating to this guest when they notified me the existing was ripped.
We are firm with our cancellation policies. Will do full refunds to 30 days out and after that will refund if we are able to re-rent the nights. We do recommend the trip protection or travel insurance that vrbo and other companies can provide.
This house is absolutely gorgeous! Very spacious with an amazing view. 10-15 minute drive from state line. Pictures and all descriptions were accurate and host is very responsive. Would definitely recommend.
The property was perfect for my family. The beds were so comfy. They had everything except paper towels. I wish my kitchen at home was that organized. Everyone loved the view of Lake Yahoe.
Location was perfect for a short family outing. The hot air balloon ride over Lake Tahoe was a great experience. Duggin was an exceptional host, we would definitely stay there again.
This house is beautiful with a gorgeous kitchen and very comfortable rooms. You can see the Lake and Heavenly right out the front window. Very quiet. To be noted it's on a very steep hill so I wouldn't let your kids outside to play/sled. There's a park very close by. We were a little disappointed with the hot tub, it didn't get hot the first night until after 10pm which is when you can't use it. We were supposed to be there only two nights so that was frustrating. It was one of the main reasons we loved the place. Also the kitchen is gorgeous, however is not that well stocked. There aren't any spices, which is fine, but there also isn't a ton of cookware if you're big into cooking. Organized, but very basic. Good food nearby.
This house is beautiful and has an amazing view. The appliances are modern and high end, the beds are amazingly comfortable, and the hot tub has the absolute best view! They even have child safety gates which was a pleasant surprise for our family. Highly recommend!
Duggan’s place is beautiful. It overlooks lake tahoe from the entire living room. The deck and jacuzzi add more color to this place. Things work as expected.
Just one area for improvement would be, the top bedroom can get too hot.
Incredibly impressed with the house, including cleanliness, comfort and condition of the overall property. Was in a perfect location with an incredible view of the lake. And communication was outstanding with Duggan to include all of the information posted about the house. Could not have asked for a better house for our guys getaway. Thanks and hope to come back!
Amazing home with a view that is even better in person than pictured. Really well renovated inside and plenty of room for a large family/groups of friends. Can’t wait to come back again!
This modern, super clean home was everything me, my friends, and our husbands could have asked for! There was plenty of room for 3 couples, amenities galore (including all Viking appliances in the kitchen and a washer and dryer), and a view of the lake that was beyond amazing. Our trip was like a dream, thanks in no small part to this house. The owner was very responsive when I had a couple of questions and there was virtually nothing we needed that wasn't already there, including soap, shampoo, plenty of wine glasses, dishes, and every cooking gadget you can think of (including cookbooks!). The hot tub was sparkling clean. I would rent it again in a minute, and we hope to go back to South Lake Tahoe in the summer again sometime soon!

Hot House
We stayed over labor day weekend. The house was nice but hot. There were only small windows on the side of the house that opened. The front of the house which had a beautiful view was all glass and only the sliding glass door opened for ventilation. Complicating the matter the neighbors and home owner want it very quiet. There are many signs up to keep the noise down and close the windows. Thus turning the place into a hot house. No one slept very well due to the heat. It was a nice property and would probably be better in the cooler months.

Thanks for the review. We purchased the house right at the beginning of the Summer and inherited a full schedule, so there were some challenges we were unaware of or unable to remedy with the time available. The Summer heat was definitely one. We have since completed a major remodel that included extensive insulation and ceiling fans. We expect that to greatly improve the situation for future guests. All vacation rentals in South Lake Tahoe are subject to very strict and tightly enforced regulations. disturbing neighbors is not tolerated, windows do need to be closed while you are making noise after hours, but may of course be open while quiet or sleeping.

Very nice house with lots of room.
Very much enjoyed this house. We had 4 couples and 2 children and there was plenty of room. House is conveniently located, yet not to close so it is a quiet and relaxing location. Would defiantly recommend!

Beautiful Location, but not well maintained
Really enjoyed the view of Lake Tahoe from the deck, but had a few hiccups with the property. Several lights were out, mainly the one inside the front door. The TV remotes were not in the right rooms, some were missing batteries, one was found under a guest bed. That made it difficult to enjoy the downtime. The refrigerator needs a recharge, as it didn't get cold despite being set on coldest. The downstairs shower never really got hot, either. The cleaning crew did an okay job, but left a bag of garbage in the home.
Overall, it just didn't seem well-maintained... as a landlord myself, I would have had someone inspect these items, as it's not a single item, but several.

Thanks for the review. We purchased the house right at the beginning of the Summer and inherited a full schedule, so there were some challenges we were unaware of or unable to remedy with the time available. The lighting system was one. A low voltage system with difficult to source bulbs. The house has since been majorly remodeled. We updated all lighting to LED so shouldnt have any problems there now. Also simplified the decor and home entertainment so we will endeavor to a higher standard of cleanliness and organization going forward. We are always available to remedy any cleaning or maintenance issues during your stay.

Why they chose this property
We have always dreamed of being able to begin (coffee) and end (wine) our days here looking over Lake Tahoe. This house is the one. We love living here with our family while in Tahoe and hope you enjoy it as much when we have the opportunity to share it with you.
What makes this property unique
This is a truely special location. The lake view is everything. But in addition to that advanced skiers and boarders will be able to come and go from the house to ski Heavenly. Its a super quiet cul de sac street but is just a few minutes from the center of the action.
