The host was very welcoming and accommodating. The kitchen was well stocked and the property is in a great location for either skiing or lake activities. The property does feel a bit dated - cracked tiles, stained carpets, and a very strong mothball odor - and would benefit from some comfort upgrades.

Very much as advertised!

We had a wonderful ski trip to Heavenly, largely due to the quality of the housing. The layout of the home was very good, we never felt crowded in the split-level layout, and the neighborhood was excellent. Walking distance to the California lift for very fit people if carrying all ski equipment, not really possible for the young or old. Communication with the host was excellent, and nothing was lacking in amenities. Hot tub was perfectly maintained, and the bedding and kitchen exceeded expectations. We would absolutely be willing to visit this listing again, as the surroundings were quiet and beautiful, and the housing was relaxing and fun.

Well-equipped, great location, family fun!

Overall my extended family of 8 really enjoyed our stay. The house was comfortable for all of us, and well-equipped with everything we needed (plenty of kitchen items and supplies, towels, bedding, snow shovels and sleds, games, plenty of hot water). It was clean overall though in need of several minor repairs. We did have trouble using the emergency number to contact the owner following snowfall to learn about help with snow removal, and had some difficulty navigating the steep road and access to the driveway during snowy weather. Otherwise location was great as we could walk to the Cal Lodge for skiing and Himmel Haus for dinner, and my kids especially enjoyed playing on the deck and warming up by the fire!

Close to Mountain, room to spread out

Property is an uphill walk 5-7 min (probably not do-able with small cchildren but fine for teens and up) to Heavenly resort (California base) and a 3 min drive into South Lake Tahoe. Host is very responsive and courteous. There are plenty of beds and bedrooms and space to spread out. The hot tub is excellent and the kitchen is a good size, and ghe garage offers space for gear. The hill can get icy if it dumps snow (not the owner's fault) so if you are driving in, ensure you come from the bottom of the hill. Overall had a great experience. We had 8 mid 30-year-olds and we were more than fine walking to the mountain each morning.

Pristine?

I will start with the positives. Great location, one min drive to the Heavenly tram, good communication, nice washer and dryer, and a newish refrigerator. Everything else in the house needs serious attention. Some people just don’t try to make their places “rentable”. The stove is broken, controls have fallen out. Over 1” gap behind the sink where all the grout fell out of the counter. You would have a very difficult time giving the couch away free, my daughter said she broke her butt sitting on it! There was a big wall where it looks like a big piece of art work hung, and they have a Christmas tree ornament hanging there. One bedroom had no shade, so we hung a sheet to block the sun. The bathrooms and kitchen are very outdated. Carpet may be original to 1960. We killed a number of spiders. Overall I would say the place is bare bones as you can get. If they spent $30,000 just doing some basic stuff and getting some furnishings the place could be great. Thanks, Ford

Hi Ford, I am so sorry about that one piece of sofa. We had some guest's kids jumping on the sofa before your arrival. We ordered new sofa, it takes time to get here. Our housekeeping is usually pretty good at cleaning the house and get rid of the webs. Let me check with them make sure they are doing their job correctly. Thanks for your feedback.

great location, but barebones

The property is in a fantastic location if you're here for the skiing, just minutes fro the California base of Heavenly. I enjoyed the quiet back yard and deck. Would not rush to rebook this listing. The property and furnishing are extremely dated and it definitely needs a refresh. Little things were annoying such as the sheets in the master were badly stained and kind of gross and when i requested some replacements got a response that said it was just chlorine stains or something. The couch in the living room was broken and a couple of the cushions were badly sagging. There was a live electric fence on the back porch that is incredibly dangerous if you have kids or pets. The second day I got there the toilet backed up and overflowed. The house didn't have a plunger and it took hours to get a response and then the landlord charged me $200 for coming out to fix it and clean up which I thought was ridiculous. As an ST Rental owner my self I was very disappointed with the quality and responsiveness for this price point One of the worst stays I've had on VRBO.

Dear David, Thank you for your valuable opinion. We are a family of travelers and understand how important cleanness is especially during the Covid. We sanitize our sheets and towels. The sheet was stained during the wash. I am sorry that it bothered you. The electric fence is to prevent bear comes on to the deck. Bear and coyote visit the area frequently, and a few times came on the deck looking for food. So the fence is to protect the guest as well, especially kids. As for the toilet overflow, we provided the bin so you don't just put anything in the toilet. We want to let you know we did not charge you $200 for cleaning up your toilet overflow and your dog liter in the house, which cost extra for us. We try very hard to provide the best experience for our guests.

Holiday Retreat with Family

I booked the cabin for a holiday retreat with my grown children and their SOs. We were delayed in arriving due to road closures from storms, but our host, Kayleen, was very accommodating and was able to shift our dates so we could maximize the time we had. The layout of the cabin is great, we felt we had plenty of space. It is walking distance to the lifts at Heavenly, making it very convenient for getting on the mountain. While it appears that the cabin hasn't been updated in a while, it was clean and had everything we needed for our stay.

About the host

Hosted by Pristine cabin

Host profile image
As Tahoe locals, we absolutely love skiing, hiking, and relaxing by the lake in the summer. This area offers truly amazing nature all year round, and we are excited to share it with you!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this neighborhood because we are close to everything, yet tucked away from it all. We are located just a block from the Heavenly ski lifts, and a short drive—just a few minutes—from the lake, the marina, Whole Foods, Heavenly Village, and the casinos.

What makes this property unique

This property stands out because of its exceptional outdoor oasis—a sun-drenched deck and hot tub nestled among majestic pine trees and singing birds—all located just a block from the ski slopes, the Aerial Tram, and Gunbarrel lifts, while remaining minutes from Heavenly Village, the lake, and everything else Lake Tahoe has to offer.
