This property was beautiful and a great size for our party of eight. The view from the deck out on to Martis Valley was incredible, and the sunsets did not disappoint! Additionally, we loved the accordion doors that opened up the dining room to the deck! It really helped to cool off the house in the morning and afternoons. However, the weekend we stayed was quite warm, and although there were fans in some of the bedrooms, it made for uncomfortably warm nights since we couldn’t open the doors or windows at night due to the property’s concerns surrounding bears. As a result, we would recommend future renters bringing up fans to help cool off their bedrooms at night in the summer.

Thank you for your review! We're so glad you enjoyed the home. We appreciate your feedback regarding the summer temperatures. We will look into providing more fans in order to make the house more comfortable during our warmer summer nights. Thank you again for staying with us. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for another Tahoe getaway!
