My family enjoyed its stay. The condo was clean, tidy and well managed. Beds were all very comfortable. Very little to complain about, great location and complex is nice. Cons: bring shampoo, and it can get warm in afternoon.

Reviewer Comments:
It was the 3bd/3ba format we needed for four adults, in a great location just outside of Tahoe City near the shoreline. But there was not enough space for the too-large TV and other giant-sized furniture. The loft was completely useless with a scary vertical ladder that had all kinds of warnings on it. Wasted space that could have been useful. Bedroom TVs did not work. Clean and well-maintained with unexpectedly well-stocked kitchen although a kettle to boil water would have been nice. Overall layout of unit poorly designed from outset. Not that comfortable or relaxing to be honest.

Great location and nicely appointed unit ... my only concern was the floors appeared to be quite dirty ... getting out of the shower and walking to the bedroom, the bottom of our feet were black with dirt ... had to wash them off before going to bed. The lock and lock boxes were a challenge ... they had to send a maintenance person to assist us ... minor inconveniences, and yes I would recommend this unit.

Beautiful house at a great location with direct access to the lake. Even after multiple calls and agreements with the property management company, the access code was not sent to the person arriving first. When they called the management a quick and clear solution was not provided immediately. The family with a young child had to wait at the doorstep for a long time after a tiring travel day.
Very comfy & nicely equipped condo just north of Tahoe City. Had everything we needed & easy to get in & out. Not many people around, so very quiet. Pool area was nice!!
Wonderful condo with comfortable beds , very clean and had nice furniture . It was pleasant with beautiful grounds that were clean . I would stay again . Thank you !
Totally enjoyed our stay in this beautiful condo. Best feature for us is its proximity to the boat ramp (we brought our jet ski). Newish kitchen appliances and good quality dishes, silvers, knives.
Negatives: pls have electric fan in each room (we had to ask the 2nd day — promptly delivered)
Have TV instruction on how to make it work. Oldies had to rely on our teen’s you tube air play app so we can watch the Olympics.
Overall: great, great stay!!! 4.5 stars!!!
Yes, we would like to rent this unit again in the future if available.
The property is well-situated, with a short walk to the beach, albeit a rocky beach. The pool and spa are delightful and centrally located. A kitchen, which is well equipped, shares the upstairs with mountain themed decor, cozy furniture, a picnic-style table and a fireplace. My 8-year-old grandson loved climbing the ladder to the loft, which was stocked with games.
The deck affords a peek at the lake and was pleasant in the morning, before it was flooded with sun.
The five of us enjoyed all the amenities during our short visit.
Oh, and the bed in the master was very comfy, which made for a restful night. Nice, roomy, tile shower too!

I've stayed at different condos in the St. Francis complex many times and have always enjoyed my stay. It's a great location and has all the amenities needed. This condo was lovely and we had a fabulous experience.
It's a cozy little hideaway, conveniently located a short driving distance away from Tahoe City.
The place have a rustic feel (old furniture?) but appliances and dishes in the kitchen as well as bathrooms are all updated.
It's true, there's no AC - We stayed there on a hot weekend but opening the window and turning on the fan cooled the place quickly.
3 bedrooms plus loft, 3 bathrooms. Kitchen and bathrooms nicely remodeled.
Everything was very comfortable.
Would stay here again!

Adequate living space, re-done kitchen & baths. No A/C. Nice property amenities
Stayed during super hot weekend, so temps exceeded 90 degrees in the main living area. 90% of the time a/c is not needed in Tahoe. Everyone enjoyed the property & close to downtown Tahoe City for shops & restaurants.
