House was well appointed; beds were comfortable; fairly close to Palisades (20 min drive) and close to nearby restaurants. Would recommend staying here.
This rental had everything and even more! It was very clean and maintained well. The kitchen was stocked fully with different types of appliances and utensils which made cooking very easy. We enjoyed the stay and the cleanliness of the house. Will be coming back! Thank you!
I came to visit this property with several friends. We had a great time and the property was as listed. The carpets were quite dirty, but apart from that the home was fine. It is a great space to relax with friends and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Lake Tahoe. It is in a very nice location and I would definitely visit again.
Came down with a group of buddies for a snowboarding trip at tahoe, 15min drive but if snowing or icy conditions expect it to be closer to half an hour to 50mins. The house was amazing! Living room had a projector screen which was def the highlight for everyone along with the hot tub! Rooms are all nice and mattresses super comfortable. Thanks!

Couldn’t have asked for a better rental for our family with little kids. Location was amazing, amenities and the house was perfect. It was clean and came with everything we needed. The staff was very accommodating and helpful (we even had to last minute rent a pack n play). My only tiny bit of feedback is that the WiFi wasn’t great so some of us weren’t able to take a work meeting like we hoped, but that was okay. 100% will recommend and would love to come back.

We spent 4 nights at Nightingale and enjoyed our stay. It was in good condition and clean for our stay. We would stay there again!
We really enjoyed lodge of the Nightingale! The fireplace was great, put out a lot of heat and created great ambience! House was cozy, beds were super comfy. Kitchen was fully equipped, although we did not have time to cook, nor did we have time to use the hot tub, but it looked very inviting. Very pretty area, had dinner right down the road at Gar Woods. Overall, a great stay!

Gorgeous home with comprehensive instructions for using appliances, checking out, etc. Great mud room perfect for post-ski. Highly recommend!
We had a great time staying at this property for our family vacation! The house was big enough to accommodate 8 adults comfortably, and the outdoor space was great to spread out as well. The location was perfect - close enough to everything but quiet and felt like an escape. Definitely recommend this house !

The view mostly consist of the house across the street. Hot tub would only heat to 99. A fabulous neighbor cleaned the driveway after a snow storm, something to consider when renting from a vrbo; no-one is cleaning the driveway.
