Perfect Winter Getaway

This is our go to vacation home when our family wants to spend a few days together at beautiful Lake Tahoe. We have stayed here a few times. The home is clean and comfortable (very comfy mattresses!). The location is at the end of the road so very quiet, with the forest and hiking trails right next to it. We made Thanksgiving dinner here and the kitchen had all the tools we needed for a successful meal.

We were traveling with my family with younger children, and my in-laws (with limited mobility). The cabin was so comfortable for all of us and had enough room for us to spread out, and also to spend time together. The kitchen was VERY well stocked and appreciated.

We loved everything about this property! First of all communication with the owner was outstanding, thank you! The place was beyond outstanding. Spacious, two fireplaces, very clean, great location, close to the ski resorts, games to play and movies to watch, walking trail from the cabin, BBQ on the deck, and all the appliances you need just like you were at home. The owner even created a guest book that is a Bible for everything in the area, food, sking, etc... We will definitely rent here again. Our family had the BEST time.

Truly a home away from homeThis beautiful house has everything you could want. If you don’t see something you need, look a bit harder, I’m sure you’ll find it. We particularly appreciated the large amount of storage space - large dressers, spacious closets with plenty of hangers, lots of hooks - so we could really move in and not have to live out of a suitcase. The entry has a bench for putting on shoes and hooks for hanging outerwear. The kitchen has granite countertops, high-end appliances, and every utensil you could want. In the downstairs bathroom, the toilet and tub/shower are separated from the sink by a door so that 2 people can use it more efficiently. Large beautiful deck with BBQ, quiet location with hiking trail, why would you want to stay anywhere else?

We had a wonderful time. The house is located in a very quiet area with forest just beyond it. We walked to Chamber's landing beach/restaurant on Saturday evening and it was a great atmosphere. We had a great time. The local store with groceries and cafe is also very close by. The house itself is older but we had a great time. We were a party of 8 and everyone was comfortable. When we checked in, we saw the beds in 2 bedrooms weren't made. I sent a message through the app and the owner was quick to respond and offer to send the cleaning staff immediately. The owners are very responsive and worked quickly to resolve the issue. The kitchen was very well stocked and had everything we needed to cook our meals. Plenty of utensils and plates, bowls and cutlery. There was more than enough towels for all of us, and there were spare sheets for the beds.Overall, it was a very good stay. Thank you.

Happy Place

We had booked this property for 33 days to get away from some of the heat and humidity of our hometown, New Orleans. As soon as we entered the house we knew we had made a great choice. We immediately felt at home. The property was extremely clean and the furniture was very nice and comfortable, For a rental, we were very surprised at how well it was stocked. We did not have to buy detergent, softner, dishwashing soap, etc. Communication with the owner and was quick and helpful. The location is great as it is at the end of a deadend street, so very quiet. A nice walking path is right at the edge of the property. We even got to see a couple of bears, one with her cub. The deck was our place for morning coffee and afternoon cocktails. We would definitely consider this property again I would not change anything about our visit, except that we could stay longer.

A perfect west shore getaway

We absolutely loved our time here. We spend a lot of time on the west shore and this house perfectly situated at the end of a cul-de-sac was amazing for us with two young kids, who are newer bike riders. We loved walking and riding bikes to chambers and Tahoma Market every morning, and the trails around the house. The house itself was perfect for us— 3 adults and 2 kids. The kitchen was nicely updated and I liked the layout— it really had everything we needed. I will definitely be staying here again!

Peaceful retreat

My family had a lovely time staying in this home. It is in a quiet, well kept neighborhood. The kitchen was well appointed with everything we needed to make ourselves at home including coffee maker and hot water kettle. The beds and pillows were very comfortable and extra towels were available in the linen closet. The furniture was comfortable and in great condition. Ample lighting and heat for the chilly evenings. We especially enjoyed lunch on the front deck and star gazing at night. There’s a trail up the forest right next to the house where we enjoyed east hikes each day. It was such a beautiful peaceful weekend at this house. Easy and short drive to the main road and the lake shore Perfectly situated away from all the crazy crowds that summer weekends in Tahoe can bring.

Well appointed home with large parking area right off hwy 89

Really enjoyed our 4 day stay! Nice location right off highway 89. Last home on street and is perfect for people with children. Pretty, updated kitchen with great stove,oven and cookware and utensils and granite counter tops. Loved the large outside deck and extra chairs. Bedrooms are all a nice size. 2 downstairs and a loft and master bedroom upstairs. The loft bed sleeps 2 small children or 1 adult. Plenty of additional room on the floor in the loft area. Located near Obexer's for boat or Sea Doo launching. Located 7 or 8 minutes south on 89 to Meek's Bay and about 15 + minutes south to D.L. Bliss State Park. Get to Meek's Bay or D.L. Bliss by 11:00 a.m. on summer days for easy parking and beach access. Home is very comfortable and the owners are easy to work with. The home felt comfortable. Would definitely come back again.
