This was an ideal place to stay at Tahoe. Close enough for a short drive to town but far enough away to enjoy peace and quiet. The property owners were very friendly and worked with us when the pool had a heating issue. House was well laid out, plenty of room for my family. Would easier stay here again if I went back to Tahoe.

Debbie and Hatch are incredible hosts with a beautiful home. The house was clean, the kitchen was stocked with everything you could think of and the property was absolutely gorgeous. It was all fenced in so we never had to worry about our dogs or grandchildren getting out! Our grandkids loved the pool and hot tub as well as the river behind the property. We would definitely recommend this home to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway! It is peaceful, quiet and beautiful. Thanks again Debbie and Hatch!

Excellent, very comfortable stay

Comfortable, clean and cozy. My family and our dogs enjoyed our stat and will try to book a stay in the summer as well to enjoy the swimming pool. The hot tub was great after a day on the slopes. Just know that the pool is indoor but in a non insulated pool room so it’s way too cold for a dip. A very pleasant stay with comfortable spaces and a well stocked kitchen. Thanks again!

Cozy cabin, wonderful stay

I stayed in this cabin with a few friends and we had a wonderful weekend. The kitchen was particularly great as we were able to easily cook a couple meals as a group, and eat at the large dining table. We had one dog with us who enjoyed the fenced in back yard. I also appreciated all of the documentation and guides available in the cabin itself. Debbie was responsive and easy to communicate with.

5 Stars all around!

This property was perfect for our ski weekend. It is 30 minutes from Kirkwood and 20 minutes from Heavenly. Our dog (and we!) loved the fenced in, level yards. We took a nice evening walk up the road that took us into beautiful forest and river scenery.The house itself was comfortable, cozy and spotlessly clean. It is very well appointed. The kitchen had everything one could need, well organized in labeled drawers and cabinets. Even night lights were provided. We hope to be back in the summer.

Unplug

This was the perfect property to book for us just to unplug. We ran away from the city, to take in the scenery and celebrate my daughter's 20th birthday. We all needed to unplug from the everyday hustle and veg out! We enjoyed riding our bikes around the neighborhood, having coffee on the back patio and listening to the water run in the creek. Then running into town to grab dinner and desert, followed up by soaking in the jacuzzi. This was always a great way to end the night.

Lovely Property and Home!

Our family absolutely loved this house and the property.Check in and check out process was easy, no issues to report. Kitchen was well stocked with all the cooking ware needed. Wood fireplace was also a very nice feature along with the hot tub. Very clean upon entering and exactly as described compared to the listing. Rooms were spacious and comfortable. The owner, Debbie, was kind and helpful in responding to our texts. Location of this house was far enough away to enjoy the nature but close enough to town. Lovely river on the property to walk to. We stayed in March where we were concerned about the snow packs but the location of this property in the valley had an abundance of snow. Can’t wait for another stay!
