Sue’s cabin was just what we needed for our family. We love the family friendly neighborhood, yard space, hot tub, big dining table and comfortable living room. Sue was a gracious host!

Thank you Debby! We hope to host you and your family again someday!

This property was amazing, and I would definitely stay here again. It was a charming, traditional family cabin with everything we needed. We overpacked a little because because we did not realize how well equipped the kitchen and house would be. There were plenty of bed linens, towels, blankets, and even beach chairs. The cabin is within walking distance of the beach and has a lovely yard with games and a hot tub. My guests were delighted, and so was I!

Thank you Yamira! i am so glad you enjoyed the house! Congratulations on your wedding and hope you also had a nice birthday celebration!
Sue
Sue was a very responsive host and the property was quiet with beautiful landscaping and a great location at Tahoe. We had one hiccup with an appliance which Sue promptly had attended to. We so appreciated having such a nice dog friendly place to stay. The bedrooms and bathrooms were all on the ground floor level in a two story home so lots of going up and down stairs to be aware of. The kitchen was well stocked with baking and cooking tools - always a plus.
Everything was wonderful! Great communication, the hot tub is in beautiful shape and kept nice and hot even in the winter. A fantastic stay! We would love to come back.

Warm, helpful and communicative host! Lovely home perfect for our group of 5 adults, 2 kids and a dog! Little extras like snow toys were unexpected and fun.

Love this house! It has a great location and vibe and we had a great time. Sue is a wonderful host and is very responsive if anything comes up during your stay!
This was our second time staying at Homewood Haven and we couldn’t have had a better trip. The house was clean, well stocked and provided the perfect setup for a much needed week long getaway. Already looking forward to when we can return.

The home was beautifully appointed and exactly as shown in the photos. The kitchen was well-stocked with a great variety of pans, utensils, and dishes. Everyone found the beds to be very comfortable, and the décor was stylish and inviting. Check-in and check-out were simple and hassle-free. We truly enjoyed our stay.

Thank you Heather! We are happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay, and glad that we were able to accommodate your boat on site! We hope that you were able to get in a lot of time on Tahoe's crystal clear water!
Sue
We had a relaxing stay. The house is well stocked and walking distance to many things including the rubicon trail and chambers landing beach/ bar. We unfortunately went on a rainy summer weekend, but the fireplace and hot tub kept us warm.

Thank you for your kind words Meghan! I'm sorry about the rain (on Labor Day weekend -- who would've thought?), but glad that you enjoyed the fireplace and hot tub to keep you warm and comfy! We hope to host you again someday!
Sue
We loved the house and had a great stay with our adult kids. The open, upstairs living space is perfect for hanging out together cooking, eating and lounging on the deck. The kitchen is very well stocked. The bedrooms were comfortable and worked perfectly for our crowd. Thanks for the great stay!
Nice home in a quiet neighborhood, within walking distance to Lake Tahoe beach and several trails. Short drive to local restaurants and several beach areas and water activities. We even saw a brown bear in the neighborhood.

Thank you Genevieve! I'm glad you enjoyed our home :) The bear you saw may have been brown in color, however, we don't have brown bears in Tahoe (aka grizzly bears). Black bears are the only species of bear found in the Tahoe basin -- and yep, many of them are brown, some cinnamon and some have black fur -- and they're all snack hounds!
Beautifully maintained home on Tahoe’s west shore. Our family enjoyed the location. Close to activities but still quiet. We even saw a bear on one of our evening walks. Hosts were great. The whole experience had us longing for our own Tahoe retreat.

I've stayed in many home rentals ~ Homewood Haven was by far one of the best! The owner replied quickly to all of my questions and she was very accommodating! The home was well equipped and had many amenities.
