“I don’t normally write reviews but…I had to make an exception. Having spent many happy vacations & recommended this house to my friends I felt compelled to respond to the vitriolic review posted on 9/20/12
Complaining about the lack of A/C. Give me a break! That comment alone makes me wonder - where has this family stayed on their annual trips to Tahoe? In the hermetically sealed ‘delight’ of an hotel or resort I’m guessing.
As any regular knows, the beauty of the Tahoe climate is A/C is not required – the days, even at the height of Summer, rarely get above 80F and the nights are just perfect, if sometimes a tad cool!
But I digress. If, like me, you want to enjoy your creature comforts but also want a taste of quintessential ‘Tahoe’ living, then this is definitely the home for you. It is spacious, warm and inviting, with a wonderful deck that brings the “outside in”.
That ‘dangerous for toddlers’ wrap around deck, is anything but! We have always loved spending time sitting out there and have never felt any concern for the young children in our group. Of course nothing can be as child proof as your own home and toddlers in particular are very inquisitive and extra curious when in a new environment…so you obviously want to make sure they are not up to mischief.
Inside the house, it is clear the moment you walk in that Sandy has taken a lot of care furnishing the place with high quality brands and adding some ‘homey’ touches. The open plan living area creates a wonderful family atmosphere – allowing everyone, including the cooks in the kitchen, to participate in whatever is happening. Many an evening, after dinner, our group (up to 15 people) have happily sunk in to the very comfortable sofas to watch a movie. We really appreciated the fact the TV is located where it is, as it does allow everyone (no matter how small) to get an uninterrupted view of the screen.
As for the bedrooms. They are bright and airy. The beds are sturdy, the mattresses very comfortable and the linens have always been clean, crisp and certainly high quality. I am normally a lite sleeper and early riser but, even with noisy kids in our group, I have always been amazed at how deeply and long I sleep here! No problems there.
So I will definitely be returning and to anyone thinking about renting this house I thoroughly recommend it. You will have a great time.”
