Wonderful house with tons of toys/games/books for kids, very comfortable rooms, all the cooking tools we could have needed. Great hill in the back for sledding. Nice, quiet neighborhood close to plenty of fun activities. Very professional, informative and responsive hosts!
We greatly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful property, it was one of the highlights of our trip, and we would absolutely stay here again for future trips to Lake Tahoe!

Thank you for your review. We’re glad to hear the cabin had plenty of space for your group, but we’re very sorry to learn that you experienced issues with the heat. We did not receive a report about this during your stay, otherwise our team would have promptly sent maintenance to address it. Guest comfort is very important to us, and we regret that this impacted your trip.
We appreciate your feedback and hope to have the chance to host you again for a much more comfortable Tahoe experience.

We had a wonderful stay. The property was beautiful, close to biking trails and was very well stocked. Very spacious and the yard was great for the kiddos!
This property was fantastic, the location was good, the house had everything we needed and my kids were never bored. If we never left the house we still would have had an amazing time with everything that was available to us. And when we did go out they had chairs, life jackets and many other things that made our trip stress free.

The home was perfect for my friends and I. Amazing location, beautiful home, well stocked with everything you need, plus some snow equipment for those who may not want to ride at the resort.
Great property located in close proximity to Meeks Bay, Emerald Bay, Sunnyside and Tahoe City. Home was well organized, clean and perfect for our family gathering.

We stayed here comfortably with 8 Adults, 2 kids, and 2 infants. The house was well set up for little ones and had lots of toys and kids items like cribs and hiking packs. The year round creek was undersold, such a nice feature of the house on a hot summer day!

We went there for a family gathering. we recommend it. 2 huge master bedrooms and a great living room.
We loved this clean house. It was fully equipped. Full kitchen, bathrooms had everything. It was nicely decorated. Our only issue was that there was no porch to sat on. Also, the nearlby snow place (5 min away) was closed so we had to drive 30-40 min to get somewhere.

Perfect spot for bigger groups, plenty of space for everyone and very well set up for kids. The management company was great, very personable, accommodating and easy to get ahold of. Would definitely stay here again.
Beautiful, spacious home and location. Fully stocked with all the amenities. The foam beds were welcome by some, not so much by others. I found them comfortable, others found them too hard. Overall a delightful stay.

Nice location near trails in Homewood. Roomy house. Bathrooms small. Very steep staircase to main level makes it hard for seniors to enjoy. Access to patio and grill area not convenient. Very clean and well equipped.

Extremely clean. Adult son said, "this is the best kid friendly rental ever!" Saw a bear on property on two different days. Used firepit and BBQ every day, very easy. Great floorplan for multigenerational gatherings. However, no woodburning stove for winter months. The second oven is not functional which would make Thanksgiving stays more difficult.

This home is perfect for big families. We had our family trip of 3 generations in Creekside this year and I can honestly say that it was clearly the best home that we have ever rented on the Westshore. Equipped with every amenity and more toys, games, water toys, beach equipment etc than our group of 12 could use in a week. Very convenient location to hiking trails and Chambers beach and Meek’s Bay. Highly recommended!!!7
