The house was absolutely beautiful and huge, scenery was spectacular! We all had the best time sitting in front of the window watching the water, rain, and sunrise. Host was quick to respond to all questions. Listing was accurate, house perfectly located, and has nice yard right on the water.

Loved loved loved our stay. The house is amazing. Its a mid century modern time capsule with modern amenities. The kitchen was well stocked with all the little things you normally forget (ketchup, sugar, spices,etc) and the views are amazing. The house is comfy cozy and the owner is nice as can be and replied quickly to any questions. One of my favorite rentals ever. Thank you so much for letting us stay here!

Amazing stay

This property is great. A well taken property that feels like a home. Vintage and well designed. We loved the kitchen and bar area. The views in the morning were breathtaking. We experienced snow while staying at the house and the owners were quick to act and provide us with anything we needed. We would love to return for another visit.

Perfect family escape

Our family got together for an amazing week on the lake. The house was just perfect... Old Tahoe charm, amazing views, plenty of space for everyone to spread out and all the amenities you could think of. Waking up early to watch the sunrise over the lake, coffee on the deck, morning paddle board or kayak ride. We brought our own boat and had it on the buoy. We hiked, fished, the kids caught crawdads... Wonderful memories made. Pam and Corinne were amazing hosts and super responsive. We are already planning next year!

Best Week Ever!

I grew up going to Tahoe - it's truly my happy place. We were looking to spend a week on the lake with close family friends who hadn't spent a lot of time in Tahoe and we really wanted to show it off - This place was PERFECT! The pictures may make the house look dated - but don't be fooled...it's perfectly charming and authentically retro right down to the amazing lake view bar. The beds were all very comfortable, the linens were great and there was PLENTY of room. Within our 2 families we each have 3 children so we had 10 people in the house and never felt like we were on top of each other. The kitchen is FULLY stocked - it actually became a game to try and come up with something they didn't have.."I wonder if they have corn cob holders" - YEP "I wonder if there is a salad spinner" - Yep! The Floor to Ceiling windows give you expansive views of the lake and the beautiful yard - the fact that this house has a large lawn to let the kids and dog play on is very rare for it being on the lake...we absolutely loved it! We were able to rent a boat so we could really take advantage of the pier and buoy. The location of the house couldn't be better - we boated to Garwoods for dinner, 2 minute drive to the Tahoe Tree-top adventure in Tahoe Vista, 5 minute drive to Tahoe City and the truckee river, easy and beautiful boat ride to Sunnyside for lunch and easy access to so many mountain bike trails. We were even able to catch a couple rainbow trout right off the pier! The homeowners were very easy to get a hold of, super responsive and very helpful! Our friends ended up loving Tahoe as much as we do - and this house was the BEST place to show it off. A huge thank you for a fabulous week and we can't wait to get back there!

Macey: Thank you for the wonderful review. We are so happy that you and your family had the vacation you envisioned. It always makes me happy when another family enjoys our home as much as we do. Thanks again and take care, Pam

Nice Lakefront in Good Location with Excellent Yard

The owner was very responsive during the booking process and even thoughtfully left us a bottle of wine for our Thanksgiving week trip to Tahoe. The lake view is beautiful and the fenced yard (for dogs and kids) is a huge plus. The house is spacious and has lots of comfy zones to relax in. It is definitely an older / retro style house but has charm and you can tell their family has made many great memories there. The kitchen is well stocked and the beds were comfortable. The driveway is large and can easily accommodate multiple cars if needed.

Amazing setting for a vacation

We just spent 10 days at this beautiful lakefront property for a family vacation. What an incredible view to wake up to every morning! Well appointed home with all the amenities that anyone could want. Comfy beds, plenty of linens and a well equipped kitchen for family cooking. Amazing dock for boating or just sunbathing. Will definitely return for another visit. Thanks!

"Winter Wonderland Estate"

Wow! What an incredible stay for our Tahoe Christmas Family Reunion! *The view from the house was breathtaking and the mid-century decor made us feel right at home! *We enjoyed our family time on dock even with the snow, and large family room with lots of seating. *The bar in the family room added a ton of fun to our evenings. *The house was easy to get to and right in town next to all of restaurants and snow activities. *Tons of blankets and essential condiments in kitchen * Accommodates the elderly easy * Pam went above and beyond to insure that our stay was the best family reunion we ever had. Super responsive and easy to get a hold of.
