This was the perfect setting for our 3 generation family - infant, 4yr old to seniors. Relaxing on the shaded deck and outdoor dining was perfect plus an amazingly stocked kitchen. Good location for beach access and restaurants. We highly recommend this lovely home.

We had such a wonderful time here. We stayed with our friends who also have 2 small children and having separate wings to the house really helped. The in ground seating in the living room is where we spent most of our time hanging out. Overall, the place was awesome!

Everything you’d ever need.

The cabin was great. Very clean when we arrived. Bedrooms and bathrooms were all very well kept. Plenty of towels and toiletries. The owners were very communicative with any questions I had and briefly met the property manager who cleared some now to give us parking for another car. Great location near ski resorts. Would stay here again.

A great time was had!

We had a great stay at this home. The house is very cozy and warm, We enjoyed the nice fireplace each evening. If you are a bit of a walker, you can walk down to the lake. We did a bit of skiing at both Northstar and Palisades, we enjoyed a trip over to Truckee and to South Lake Tahoe. The house has everything you need, bring yourself and clothes, you will enjoy your time here!
