The place is spacious, has access to a hot tub, and is a 20 minute drive from Palisades, Alpine, and Northstar. You're also 5 mins from the grocery store.
Very nice condo. Lots of room. Easy to find and simple to check-in. Kitchen well stocked with plenty of dishes, glasses, utensils. Worked for well for my family of 6 adults!
Great, clean well laid out property perfect the 5 of us. Very comfortable! Hot tub and proximity to ski resorts was a big plus and self check in was seamless. Property manager communicated promptly and even was willing to let us book an extra night due to an incoming storm if we needed it. Very pleased with our stay. Thank you!

Nice condo, nice location
We enjoyed our stay except there were minor basic items that were not provided like bath soap, hand soap, apron etc.
Overall, it was a nice spacious place to stay if you have a party of 6 or less.
I will use this place again.

We went off-season so the dumpsters were locked. This made disposing of trash a little bit tricky but we found one that was unlocked. The place was nice and spacious. But the carpet was old and outdated. It was quiet and an easy drive to the slopes or to town. Beware: the hot tub does not allow anyone under the age of 18 and only has space for six. We would go back.

Reviewer Comments:
Pros - The property is in a great location - near Tahoe City and on a quiet street off of the highway. The unit was clean and fairly well stocked but it could use some updating. The new laundry set is very nice and worked well. This is a unit in a complex with other rentals as well as residents. It has a small water entrance area but the dock is nice to hang out at and watch activity on the lake. You are one street away from a much larger beach that you could walk to if the lake was a little lower. There is a nice cafe that is only a 10-15 minute walk away. Tahoe City is a quick drive for stores (Safeway) and shopping and dining.Cons - This is a downstairs unit and you can hear the people in the unit upstairs walking around. The bathroom counters are low and you need to bend down to use them. The floors are squeaky, so expect some noise from that as well. There were also a lot of cobwebs on the deck area. But for a nice place in a good location, I would recommend it.

My husband and I stayed here with our son‘s family. The twin beds were perfect for our grandchildren. We enjoyed it being a one story. The beds were very comfortable, house was spotless, and kitchen had everything you would need. Five minute walk to the lake with a private beach. Very quiet neighborhood with lovely flower pots around. Leah is an excellent property manager, always very responsive! We would definitely stay here again.
Whenever we take a ski trip, we always use the search filter to get a place to stay with a hot tub. No difference this time. The hot tub at this complex was a tub of luke warm water in a dimly lit room. No jets and no out of order sign.

Had a great experience with this rental! Received notification beforehand on particulars, code etc. which was great! Good location-spacious rental!
We loved this place and waking up in the trees after arriving at night. The view from the kitchen and living room is stellar. They have all the appliances and dish-ware you may need but be sure to pack your own coffee beans. They have an awesome grinder too. Also, be sure to bring your own shampoo, conditioner and body wash or soap.
Incredibly well appointed. The kitchen is fully stocked. There are also home games to choose from, and plenty of towels and linen. The only qualm is how much you can hear the upstairs guests. Otherwise an absolutely lovely stay.

The cabin was once again a perfect fit for our busy family during the 4th of July holiday. The cabin was very clean, the large family room worked so well for game nights, and the private location made us all feel very comfortable. We had plenty of supplies for our family and used the new washer and dryer often. The decor is dated, but we find it comfortable and familiar. Thank you for another great stay.

This was our 2nd year in cabin #1 and we loved it just as much this time around. It is well appointed, incredibly clean, and comes with easy parking & access. We were forewarned of some heating work, which was greatly appreciated as we had a very cold week and needed the heater. All appliances work well and there are plenty of dishes, towels, and bedding. The cabin is dated, but we love the plush brown carpet and homey feel of the place.
