Tahoe Cabin cacation

Loved the property, felt like a little piece of history in Tahoe- very close to grocery, lake, restaurants. Cant wait to come back. Loved the view from the patio of the lake and mountains, loved the privacy, and loved walking the neighborhood.

Great log cabin vibe

Great place, just across the road from the lake, great older cabin, well appointed - check in a little bizarre in that lockbox code is only given "day of", and not explicitly in text, you need to open up a link to another link..also signing of waiver via email prior to check in a little inconvenient. But house is fantastic, theres a hot tub on deck, that seems constantly on (didn't use summe) definitely for folk over 6ft stand on tip toes to see in bathroom mirrrors, but watch your head upstairs, my son hit his head twice on A frame rafters.

Charming and cozy

This place is so perfect. The owners have done a fantastic job providing all necessities and more. There are peak a boo lake views and if they trimmed the lower branches, there would be a much better view. The kitchen was fully stocked with cookware and the deck was perfect to relax on all day. The downstairs bed was very, very firm. It was really uncomfortable so we ended up sleeping upstairs on the softer beds. We will definitely return though. Absolutely lovely.

Home was so cute and had everything we needed. Loved the deck and jacuzzi area. Great location. A few items to note; the stairs leading up to the cabin have some broken pieces and there is no handrail. It was raining while we were there and my mom almost slipped twice on the steps. So maybe not a good option if you are carrying littles or have any mobility issues. Also the lock to the front door sticks - this is a known problem as there is a note inside the cabin by the front door letting you know the lock sticks but when the lock isn’t working and you are outside in the rain trying to get inside it’s quite the headache. Maybe just spend the money to replace? Overall a great trip

Quintessential Lake Tahoe Cabin

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The owners of this cabin took great care in decorating it. It's very clean but has sloping issues. I wouldn't recommend for people with accessibility issues or people traveling with small children. Beware, the heater is set at 55 so it comes on during the summer when the temp dips down. The directions require that you leave it on.

Thank you for your review! This home is in a great location and gives you a lovely Tahoe cabin vibe. Tahoe temperatures could get very low in the summer and could potentially cause damage to the plumbing and water lines if it gets to the freezing range, which is why we ask that the heat stay on to at least 55. We are happy to hear you had a great stay overall and look forward to hosting you again in the future. ~Tahoe Rental Company

Cute lil cabin

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Was just my daughter and myself, and it was super relaxing. Sue was supposed to bring a couple friends but it fell through at the last minute. We swam, drove around the lake, went to the golf tournament, and just had a great time. Calvin couldn't be cuter and everything worked great. The jacuzzi was amazing and the only thing was it was hot and there is no AC but they had fans. Overall was a great experience and I would def repeat.

Super cute cabin in a great location

This place is exactly what I picture when I think about a cabin at the lake, with a knotty pine interior and rustic furnishings. The upstairs loft area is perfect for teens, and even has its own bathroom. The kitchen window looks out over the deck to the lake, where we saw beautiful sunrises each day. The cabin is just a block off N. Lake Tahoe Blvd, so there is some road noise on the deck, but we still were able to enjoy relaxing in the hot tub and on the swing. Easy to get to beaches and grocery store. Kitchen supplies were great; we were able to make all of our meals while staying there.

Tahoe at it's best

We absolutely loved our stay at Gundy's Getaway. The cabin is so real Tahoe. The deck and the hot tub were nice also. Loved the charm of this cabin and was very clean. The owners did a beautiful job keeping the old Tahoe feel. The smoke from the Caldor fire got so bad and we had to leave a day early. Meschel from the management company was so amazing and very helpful. We will be back!!

Rustic cabin with lots of charm. For the price it’s a good value.

This property was charming and very rustic, a bit more rustic than we’d hoped for. It’s hot on hot days, no ac, just a couple of fans. The hot tub needed cleaning so unfortunately we weren’t able to use it, this was a big let down since it was one of the main reasons we chose it. The refrigerator and freezer were empty but had a strong fish odor that lasted our entire stay. Overall the stay was fine but we wouldn’t rent this cabin again for those reasons. We would also recommend beach supplies such as chairs and maybe an umbrella be provided. For someone traveling a long distance to stay here those items would be great to have on hand. The beaches weren’t very enjoyable without them. Overall the cabin is fine, but don’t expect much!

Rustic Cabin with Lake Views

We enjoyed our stay at the cabin. It has filtered lake views and the patio is a great place to relax after a long day at the beach or after hiking. We loved the hot tub too. The kitchen was well stocked. The house is a little tight for more than five adults, and the third bedroom with the single bed is more like a closet (no room to store clothes/bags), so would be best for a kid. There were some cobwebs and dust in some areas of the house and bugs/spiders given older house/insulation, but cleanliness was otherwise alright. Great location - 10 mins to Tahoe City and 10 mins to Kings Beach. Be aware that there’s street noise from the main road on the deck but you can’t hear it inside. Great cabin in Tahoe!
