Comfortable stay for our family of 4. Nice simple cabin for a ski weekend. Everything we needed to eat, sleep and relax was available.
8 / 10Excellent·Sep 2024
Loved the location of this home with a nice large living room set up, hot tub, and walking trails through the woods right outside the driveway! Would love to stay again if visiting Tahoe.
8 / 10Excellent·Jun 2024
We really enjoy this cozy house with a great hot tub and location. Our only issue this time was a really strong and unpleasant smell between the dining table and stereo bookshelf at the front of the house. Could be a dead animal under the house, but not sure.
10 / 10Outstanding·Mar 2024
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great location right at the beginning of a trail-head with a pretty massive hottub and plenty of firewood in the garage for the wood-buring fireplace.
