Great Location

House was in an unbelievable location. We could walk to Garwoods which was a huge bonus if we wanted to pop by for a drink or walk the beach and pier outside. House was perfect with a cool play room for the kids.

We had a great time. Like a snow globe during the storm! Some things were in slight disrepair, but we worked it out.

Great house, Great Location!

My family and I stayed here over the 4th and enjoyed how quiet the neighborhood was as well as the quick 2 minute walk to Garwoods. The house was very clean and had a well stocked kitchen. The large deck was great for evening chilling amongst the trees.

Tahoe 2022

The place was beautiful, had plenty of room for everyone to sleep comfortably. Walking distance to the lake and a couple restaurants. We really didn’t appreciate the bullet that was shot in the window from the inside. Then we had someone come by wanting to fix it. Also, the couch in the master bedroom had tons of dog hair all over it. Other than that really great place!

Thank you for choosing Front and Center! We are thrilled to hear that you loved the home and the location. For the sake of future renters, we do want to clarify that the chip/hole in the window was not a bullet hole. It was caused by the end of a broom, when our cleaner accidentally bumped the window. It was fixed shortly after the incident. Additionally, we appreciate the feedback on our cleaning service and have reviewed this item with our clean teams. Thank you for taking the time to let us know, so that we can ensure future renters arrive to a spotless home that meets our luxury standards. Again, we are so pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay, and we look forward to hosting you again!

All the amenities and so close to the Lake

We loved staying here! It had all the amenities we needed for our family. Plenty of space, nice linens, a well-supplied kitchen, and fast WiFi. Hot tub was wonderful after a long day in the snow. TVs in every room to keep all guests occupied. We had another family stay with us for a few days and never felt cramped in the house. Only a short walk to Garwoods for food and drinks!

Would recommend

Overall we enjoyed our stay at this property. The location to 2 dog beaches within walking distance was very convenient. The house was super clean with new bedding. The layout of the house is great as well. This has to be the most well-equipped house we've ever rented. The kitchen has everything you need. The patio deck was very nice to eat out on or to lay and relax on the lounge chairs. The neighborhood was peaceful and quiet. Please note that this house does not have air conditioning. During our stay the temp in Tahoe averaged at a high of 85+ to a low of 55 degrees. It got pretty warm in the house from about 2pm - 10pm, especially the upstairs (living room, kitchen, master). They had fans available which helped a bit but the thermostat read between 82 - 85 degrees. Many places in Tahoe do not have central AC but it's just something you should be aware of. No house is perfect but the screen door for the living room sliding glass door was broken and the patio light was out.

Thank you so much for your review! We are so happy you had a lovely time at Front and Center. Also, we appreciate you bringing to our attention the screen door and patio light. Those items have been fixed. And yes, it is quite warm up here! We do get 2-3 week heat waves in the summer and then it is cool, so very few houses do have AC. Please let us know if in the future you are uncomfortably so, and we will be happy to bring over a portable AC unit that vents through the window for the bedrooms. :) We hope to host you again sometime in the future.

Awesome house and location

We rented this house for spring break so that our family can enjoy our last ski trip before the season ends. The house was very clean, had great light, was close to the lake, and in a quiet neighborhood. I would highly recommend this house to anyone. You won’t be disappointed.
