Great place to stay. The house is located in a quiet, friendly neighborhood with close proximity to Lake Tahoe itself. The rooms are clean, we were provided with plenty of amenities. We were not able to turn on the fireplace, but it might just be our own lacking.However there is room for improvement with check-in process. I was supposed to get the lockbox code at 3 p.m but it was not shared either on SMS or email, so when we arrived at 10 p.m we had to call the office, which went to voicemail asking us to call the emergency number. We did not official got the code until 10 a.m the next morning.

We had to leave after 3 nights due to my husband having a medical emergency. Very disappointed but had to get him back to Washington for the care he needed. Had nothing to do with our beautiful lodging

We enjoyed our stay. It was a quit area and was close to the beach we wanted to visit for the day. Check-in was seamless and everything was as it was advertised

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property was nice and very clean, and pretty much like you see in the pictures. It was generally in a good state of repair, although there was the some kind of leak you could hear inside throughout our stay (I assume it is fixed by now).They are building a house next door right now (Aug ‘23), with a crew working daily. I suggest you ask the rental company about that, as it could impact your enjoyment of the nice mountain surroundings.
