Beauty from and far from beauty
I’ll start with The good. On the surface, Nice looking home with a ton of space and in a nice neighborhood. The bathrooms had bidets, which was cool. Now the bad. The fridge didn’t properly keep the food cold. This includes the freezer where the ice we purchased melted when it was stored in the freezer. The kitchen faucet didn’t work at all. They installed some fancy touch-less system that failed. The property manager Ryan basically said to use the mini bar sink for all of our needs. The clothes dryer didn’t work. Basically most of the major appliances did not work. ALL cabinets throughout the house are about to fall apart. We let the property managers heather and ryan know of most of the issues and they just eluded to this is the way it is and then ghosted us, kind of not cool. We informed Vrbo and they said work it out with the hosts. Beware renter, The property title on Vrbo says “newly renovated” and let me tell you there is nothing renovated about this place. The place looks nice on the surface but everything is falling apart. Very inaccurate description. The property was not very clean there were dead bugs smashed n the walls in one of the bathrooms and never cleaned. I have photos of everything.

A little kindness goes a long way
Obviously this home used to be a well loved getaway to the mountains. The description in the listing doesn't seem quite accurate as nothing was 'newly renovated' from what we could tell. Some of the blinds didn't work or were missing, there was mismatched touch-up paint throughout and strangely missing wall art with hooks left in place. Our stay was pleasant enough and it was great fun to play in the snow in the yard and soak in the hot tub afterward. Comfort-wise, it was hard to keep consistent temperatures throughout the house. Beds might or might not have been new, as claimed, but most still weren't very comfortable. The fridge has parts on order due in "a few weeks" but it's not obvious when a fews weeks began. This is understandable given supply chain issues everywhere right now but this detail was not disclosed prior to arrival as it should have been. The replacement fridge was a bit awkward and took up space blocking a window in the main room. The fireplace in the upper master bedroom would not turn on despite the pilot being lit. Turning on both heaters in the lower bedrooms flipped the breaker which also turned off the wifi (the owners told us there was an area outage when we asked if there was a bigger issue but we reset the breaker and the wifi came back on. It was frustrating to get misleading info.) Overall we had a enjoyed our trip but this rental felt a bit overpriced for the condition and we found communication with the hosts to be less than helpful. A massive winter storm (bigger than average) blew in at the end of our trip and when we realized that all highways were closed and would be for days, we inquired about whether the next guests had canceled, thinking if we can't get out maybe they can't get in. If they had canceled we could have extended our rental and waited out the storm in place. The idea was a long shot and we were not expecting to be able to extend our rental but were surprised by the dismissive and unsympathetic response from the hosts. They claimed 'this happens every year and the roads would be opened again soon'. This was definitely not the case and my family had to scramble to find hotel rooms for 2 more nights at the same time as everyone else in Tahoe who was stuck. The storm was, of course, not the hosts fault but a more friendly and empathetic response would have been greatly appreciated.
