The house was as described. Guests should know that check-in details are emailed from a third party and are not accessible through the app (nor are searchable thru email via Vrbo). The Meeks Bay Pass was missing and we covered that on our own unfortunately. One thing to note is if you visit in late summer or during a heat wave, the house is enterable in the evenings and through the night. Other than those few somewhat minor things, we had ample space and the kids really enjoyed the games/Legos. The home was clean and well-stocked. The home was close enough to beaches/parks, hikes, Emerald Bay, and the four restaurants in Tahoma. We would stay again during a different time of year.

Our check in was super smooth. Just show up, all necessary information was provided for entry. We needed propane for the BBQ which was very quickly delivered once we requested a refill. Our kids loved having their own rooms. Tahoma is a lovely neighborhood for walking and close to a lot of great things on the west shore of Tahoe, -- We enjoyed the local history books laying around and the kids games. The kitchen is super well stocked with everything you need for successful dinner making. Salt Pepper and Sugar for my coffee were also there. The refrigerator was clean and empty. (BYO butter :) -- All in all a great home base for Lake Tahoe, Truckee river and beautiful Sierra hiking trails.

Incredibly equiped and very spacious home. Easily can have 7 to 8 persons and not feel crowded, we were only 3. Best thing is that the master bedroom and big bath are on the same floor and most of the living quarters, so perfect for our 92 year old person who only had to navigate the stairs to go in and out the home (seven stairs from entry way to living area and then nine stairs from driveway to the entry way.Great decorations, gas stove was awesome at night and spacious deck with a big grill. Perfect for those that love to cook with most kitchen gadgets and crock pot, large coffee maker with huge 8 person dining room table.Would definitely repeat a stay here.

Everything was great! We stayed for a week over Christmas and it was perfect! Very very clean.

All the amenities were there I just wish we didn’t have to drive to another location to pick up the keys we got there during a snowstorm so it was dangerous to drive and severe traffic. Other than that we had the time of our lives I would recommend this place to anyone!

Hi Mike, Thank you for your review, we are glad you enjoyed the home and found it to be clean! We offer direct check in to most of our homes upon request ahead of time, and our office is either on the way to the home, or 2 minutes into town in most instances otherwise. We are glad that you had the time of your lives, and hope this meant playing in the snow once you got settled in too! :)

Three Bears Wedding Prep

Cabin was clean and was just the right size for family, prepping for the wedding, and then for our daughter's wedding party to get ready for the wedding at Sugar Pine. My only issues are 1) the master bedroom bed was too firm and concave in the center, so it was a super uncomfortable sleep for my wife and I (otherwise we would have stayed the last nite but left early), and 2) the shower curtains had orange scum at the bottom (time to buy new shower curtains, they are cheap). I would stay again should these two things be remedied.

Comfortable and Convenient

My husband and I just spent three nights in the house with our two kids and their two friends - so four 12-14 year-old boys. The two bedrooms downstairs were great for them, and they also enjoyed the living area for watching TV. There's a nice big dining table and well-stocked kitchen. We were in the master upstairs. Everyone liked the rainhead showers. The key-pad entry didn't work upon arrival but was resolved quickly. Communication with the rental company was always great. We skied at Homewood every day we were there and it was a super convenient location. Some additions/upgrades that would make this a five-star listing for me: The mattress in the master bedroom is hard as a rock. There's also ample room for a king in there. Switching out the oversized sleigh frame, which makes using the dresser too tight, for a normal king frame with a softer mattress would be a huge improvement. I didn't look forward to getting in this bed. Ditch the worn throw pillows that can't be cleaned on the bed. Nobody wants dirty pillows lying right on the pillows they'll be sleeping on; everyone just throws them in a corner. However, more regular sleeping pillows on each bed are needed. I found a few extras in the closet but there were no pillowcases for them. There were no washcloths and we could have used more towels. More hooks in the bathrooms! There are never enough towel hooks in houses and it's such an easy add. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Great house in a quiet central location

We had a great time and loved the house . We like staying on the Tahoma west side of the lake because it puts you half way to the North or South lake activities . The house was very clean , I think everything is new , well decorated and supplied. We did have the water heater break one day into the stay but it was fixed within a day . The owner gave us a nice discount for our troubles . My husband left a drawer full of clothes and the rental group retrieved it all and shipped it to us. I got to see a bear walking down the street here . We would stay here again!

Mother/daughter get-away

The cabin was beautifully appointed with full. Modern kitchen accoutrements. The decor was lovely lake/bearesque! There was plenty of linens, comfy firm beds, TVs in each room. They provided games, puzlzles and cable . The upper floor was warmer than the bottom floor, but a nicely screened balcony sliding door and fan helped to cool it off. Lower floor was very cool temperature wise; perfect for this overheated mature woman. There was plenty of outdoor lighting which made us feel safe and also a motion detector chime rang upon approach to the porch. My adult daughter and I enjoyed our stay at the cabin immensely!

Peaceful getaway

We loved staying at Three Bears! The house was very clean and comfortable and very well equipped for those who like to eat in. We also appreciated the great supply of classic games and films. The neighborhood was just as advertised: quiet and friendly and just a few houses down from an access point to Sugar Pine Point State Park. We enjoyed the easy access to Sugar Pine and Meeks Bay beaches, just a short drive away. For us, being in a quiet neighborhood out of the fray of Tahoe City but with great access to West Shore activities was perfect. Thank you!

Great neighborhood, fantastic house, spotless clean, well stocked kitchen.

Spent a week at 3 Bear's Retreat in Tahoma. The house is absolutely spotless clean with a very comfortable accommodations. The neighborhood is very quiet on an end street, and the neighbors were all friendly. Ample parking for boat and a couple of vehicles. Nice patio deck overlooking the quiet street where friendly people take walks in the evening. One of the best houses we've ever rented on the West Shore in the last 15 years. Wells & Bennet real estate office was very helpful and nice, too.
