We had a wonderful stay at the Bear's Lair. The bear-themed decor was charming and cozy, and it really added to the whole mountain-cabin vibe. You could tell a lot of care and love went into every detail. The place felt warm, comfortable, and welcoming from the moment we arrived. And we found the location to be perfect for enjoying nature as well as going out. We can't wait to go back and we highly recommended it for anyone looking for a cozy Tahoe getaway.

We had a really lovely week at this house, well set up for family time as well as for our college and high school age kids to have some space and privacy. The house is nicely done and very well stocked. You also have a GREAT cleaning crew. The house was spotless. We especially appreciated nice little touches that made settling in easier -- like the charging cord at the little desk in the dining area and access to extra linens. We didn't need the linens but it was great to feel trusted. One very minor suggestion: you might want to leave some laundry detergent. We would have liked to help the cleaning crew by starting the first load but didn't realize there was no detergent until we were about to walk out the door. We enjoyed our week. Thanks.
