Wow! Upon entering the living room from driveway my friends exclaimed, "look at that view!" The upstairs deck runs all across the back of the house and captures a good portion of northern Lake Tahoe. We spent a lot of time on that deck. Being six women all interested in good food, we spent the next amount of time in the kitchen and around a large dining table with very comfortable chairs. Having brought our own food, we were delighted to find every appliance, utensil, flatware, dish, glass, mug, etc that anyone could want. And the kitchen is large enough for several people to be in there at once. The bedrooms were roomy and nicely made up. Two bathrooms downstairs and one upstairs off master bedroom were plenty for six gals. Downstairs deck nice touch also. I just turned on the TV briefly (in a downstairs sitting room) so think the cable is good although we were too busy talking to watch TV. The wifi is excellent. Working with Kim, the owner, was so easy and helpful. No problems whatsoever. We were there for a performance at Sand Harbor which turned out to be about a 20 minute easy drive from the house. Our only surprise (not related to VRBO) was the beach Kim told us about (Speedboat Beach) nearby. When we arrived we found NO sand and locals said it was due to snowmelt that the lake had risen so high. We parked our things on the nearby rocks and had a great swim anyway. There's a wooden staircase down to the tiny spit of sand before you get in the lake and lots of rocks to sit on once in the lake! All in all, a wonderful getaway and I'm sure we'll be back.
