Absolutely perfect!

My husband and I started the week off alone and had a wonderful time. Our grown children and grandchildren joined us for the last weekend and this home was perfect for our family of 10. The home is beautiful and had everything we needed. We absolutely loved our time here. Communication with the homeowner was awesome! We would definitely book this home again!

Great Space for Two families!

My friend and I decided to plan a New Years Eve trip to Lake Tahoe with our families (we each have three boys) and from the initial photos and booking through the duration of our stay, we had a wonderful experience! All questions were answered in a timely manner and everything about how to enter and leave the home was spelled out. The location was great and while we didn’t have much snow, we enjoyed the lake view from the family room, enjoyed some brief snow flurries the first morning and were able to take a quick adventure to Incline Village and Truckee. I loved the size of the dining room table because several other homes have a standard four person table and we had ten people total so it was very helpful. It was nice having all the kitchen utensils needed to cook up some delicious meals. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone who likes their space (four rooms and 8 beds total!) wants that secluded feel, but still within minutes of civilization. I would definitely book this home again if we were going to come back to Lake Tahoe!

A detailed review unlike the others - cleanliness is key

The property’s location is convenient to King’s Beach which is within walking distance, as well as to Truckee and Tahoe City. The house is very dated in terms of decor, style and furnishings. As others mention, the cleanliness could be much better. There are stains in the carpet, dirty window screens, and the house could use a good deep clean. We had to clean the outdoor furniture before using them. There were rodent droppings in one of the window’s sills. One of the cutting boards had been stored and was not washed which made me skeptical of everything else in the kitchen. It missed some very basic necessities that other hosts offer with their properties: bath soap and/or body wash, hand soap and face cloths.

Good

Great location because it’s just a 3 min walk to the beach. BUT the neighbors were obnoxiously loud from 2am-7am and had their car lights on which flashed straight into our room. The living room was VERY dusty, not sure when the last time this place had been rented or if the cleaning people just forget to sweep and dust. The blender that was there for use was broken. We had bought meat to BBQ and there was no BBQ grill. Luckily the neighbors (on the left side) were going to let us borrow a grill but they were able to get a hold of the owners and they ended up giving us the code to where the grill was. …. Although it was a rough start we had a great time.

Great location!

We had a great weekend and stay, loved how close it was to the beach and golf course. Only issue was how hot it got since there is no AC, appreciated all of the fans all over the house. Loved the hanging out on the back deck watching the sunset to cool off. Kitchen was very well stocked. Would def book again!

Great location, easy check-in and roomy with some room for improvement

I stayed here for an long weekend Fri-Sun (late Sept) for a weekend getaway, there were 8 of us. Pros: Checkin process through the lockbox was good/easy, instructions were clear and lockbox easy to find. Location: very close to King's Beach, 5mins away from Safeway and local eateries Room: There are two bedrooms upstairs and 2 bedrooms downstairs. Seven beds altogether so great for large group gatherings. One of the bedrooms' downstairs looks like it was an extension so insulation is thin but a heater was provided to keep the room comfortable. It was perfect since nighttime was just around 50 degrees, not too sure how comfortable it would be in the winter though. Improvement: Cleanliness: The house is overall dated which is fine but carpets had plenty of stains- enough to warrant a new carpet replacement. Inside bathrooms and kitchen space were cleaned well by housekeeping but the patio needs sweeping and wiping down, we ended up not using the patio altogether. Amenities: Plenty of towels but they were all really beat up. Plates/bowls need replacement due to chips and cracks. Shampoo, handsoap, dishwashing liquid were provided. It would have been nice to have conditioner and body wash. Bedding, sheets were clean but worn out and can use replacement as well. There were plenty of extra sheets, pillows, blankets, towels in the closet but it wasn't organized well but that's an easy fix. Restricted to only 2 loads of laundry- weird.

This was my childhood vacation home and I spent every year coming up to Tahoe. I love the area, the clean air and the a-frame ceiling provides lots of space to have a family gathering.

Why they chose this property

Because it's private, cozy while giving you lots of space to sit and relax while on the computer or watching the kids play outside. There are lots of great restaurants nearby and the North Shore casinos are only 10 minutes away! Tahoe City provides great shopping which is 15 minutes away. Reno is about 50 minutes away.

What makes this property unique

Ski LEASE only start in January - please ask about monthly rates.
