Serene Lakeside Home - Path to Beach - Fenced Yard - Sleeps 6

Beautiful and the short trail to the lake was wonderful. Had everything we needed and we were so comfortable. Thanks for everything

The location is perfect. Loved how close it is to town while still away from the crowds. Loved the short backyard trail directly to the beach. The yard is completely enclosed for privacy and for the dogs to run free. However, there's no lock for the front or back fence. While we were there, people we weren't expecting let themselves in on 3 occasions. This would've been a problem if our dogs were free in the yard at the time. The yard itself is beautifully maintained, but there's lots of ants and mosquitoes so we didn't use the yard much. Since it was only my fiance, me, and our 2 dogs, we didn't use the second floor. Everything we needed was downstairs. There's no AC unit, just heating, but even though we rented during summer, the place was never hot. Other reviews mentioned a stained carpet and an odor. Yes, it's definitely there. The hosts provided candles and odor absorbers, but you can definitely tell dogs have peed inside. The previous renters filled up the outside trash bin. We were told that we had to wait until trash collection day before we could use it. And since there's bears in the area, we had to keep our trash in the house with us. It didn't help with the odor, but this was out of the host's control. That being said, I'd still consider booking here again.

Having recently had spinal surgery, hubby took me away to recuperate. Couldn't have had a better cottage in the woods. We stayed 10 days & never went out to eat. Terrific kitchen, well stocked with everything you could possibly need & more. Extremely comfy beds, washer & dryer a definite plus. Great sofas (i spent a lot of time on them!) and the TV was fantastic, good cable. Wonderful location, close to Safeway, cute coffee place down the street, safe neighborhood & restaurants (if you so choose). The best is the really close dog & people park on the lake. Beyond lovely, my favorite part. Nice fenced, secure yard for our dog. He was happy too! Easy check in & super rapid response from owner. Highly recommend.

This was my second stay at Jerry's place and the location is perfect. Off the main road, quiet and walkable neighborhood with a dog-friendly beach out the back door and bike path access out the front. Jerry hasn't overlooked anything you might need including plenty of towels and linens. Understanding that dogs join their owners here, my only negative comment would be the urine stains on the carpet and the smell of urine - not overpowering and nothing I don't think a professional deep cleaning couldn't address. Coming at the end of summer after lots of use is probably a factor as well. Jerry is prompt to respond if there's a question or issue. Looking forward to returning again!

Well stocked with all of your essentials. Cabin organized. Sofa and bed comfortable and two bathrooms a plus. The fenced yard and close access to the lake was the reason for choosing this cabin. Our dog enjoyed checking out the yard. Nice patio to sit under the trees.Great bike/walkway to Tahoe City. Good places to eat. Carpet should be replaced with tile, many stains from previous tenets. Otherwise, a great place to stay.

We really enjoyed our stay at this Lake Forest home. It was perfect for our little family of 3 and two small dogs. The home was very clean and well equipped. The location of this home is perfect with proximity to town and the lake. I’d love to go back when there’s less snow so we can actually utilize the trail leading to the lake! Thank you for a wonderful stay and we’re hoping to be back!

This home is exactly as described and you can’t beat a dog friendly beach out the back door and the bike path out the front. Plenty of extras like pillows, blankets, towels, soap, and shampoo and conditioner. Having a washer and dryer is a plus. Check-in and out was a breeze and when I needed to communicate with Jerry, he was prompt and accommodating. My dog and I had a perfect time and I plan to return!

This house was perfect for my cousins, my dog and me. We loved having a fenced yard and being able to walk to the lake. The owners were great. We'll be back.

Great location and fully equipped for a short time stay. The owner was very accommodating and responsive to all inquiries. Walking distance to the lake and short drive to shopping and restaurants.

The communication with Jerry was prompt & friendly. I locked myself out & he responded within minutes. I was back in within minutes. The house is very cute and for the most part true to the listing. Some room for improvement: 1) it's a dog rental as well & we did bring our dogs. I cleaned up after my dogs. Unfortunately, other tenants who were before me did not. Also, the cleaning services didn't either. Makes playing in the snow, not as fun within the property. 2) it has a wonderful fenced-in backyard but unfortunately, the main shovel was buried under a block of ice. A previous tenant broke the other shovel into pieces (plastic) so there was nothing to clear doorways from snow or pick up dog poop (I improvised). 3) the beds are small for two standard adults. I'd guess all 3 beds were Fulls at best. 4) unfortunately cleaning services didn't finish the laundry from the previous tenants so there was a large pile of sheets & blankets still pending wash in the washroom. There was also a load in the dryer which kept erroring out the cycle. It was hard to reach the dials given it was stacked. There was no step stool to reach the controls. 5) wonderful kitchen, dishwasher, & range. I cooked all the meals at home. Well stocked but make sure to bring tinfoil & ziplock just in case. 6) no DVD player & limited tv controls... a must at night with kids. I must have misread the listing because I brought movies with us to watch thinking there was a DVD player. 7) loved their leather couches, especially in a dog rental. This makes for a cleaner experience. 8) the bathrooms were not properly stocked. Similar to a hotel when you check-in, you expect a refreshed roll of everything. Restocked essentials. They did have supplies on hand in the washroom but I had to restock myself. Not a major issue but one has to question how well cleaning services really put in effort given some basics are not complete. 9) the central heating system was excellent. Unfortunately, the woodburning stove had a broken seal on the door so we were not able to use this item of the house. 10) the neighborhood is a mix of business and residential. We attending in a slight off season so it was very very quiet in the neighborhood, at the lake & snow park. It was a quick walk to the lake with the dogs. This is a very cute rental & with some cleaning services upgrades & a few repairs of the house, this could be a 5 star.

House and kitchen were great for our family. Only disappointment was the yard. Pretty unusable no snow clearing to speak of except front walkway. Shovel buried in icy snow crust. But we loved the location

What an absolute gem! We arrive for a New Years get away & I promised my kid snow… and boy was there snow 😂. The driveway & walkway we’re shoveled so getting into the house was so easy! The house was clean and is just an absolute gem! The kitchen. Was fully stocked (coffee maker, toaster, microwave - you name it!) and even kitchen spices & a few extras. Games and tv access as well (great for a late night movie to settle down with!) My son & I brought his best friend & his mom to join us as well as our little pup. Jerry was a great host and made our trip just the absolute best! We found a great little hill to use for sledding just down the street. I look forward to coming back & seeing the property during the summer time as it is so close to the lake! Then fully enclosed yard is perfect for pups as well!

Awesome cabin to stay at, would stay again!

The home is very well situated close to the beach, just a five minute walk though a fantastic scenery. Backyard perfect for unwinding after a day at the beach. Kitchen stocked with enough utensils and cooking items that made cooking a breeze. Home had more than enough towels and shampoo and body wash for our entire stay. Would definitely stay here again in the future

We had a great time at Lake Tahoe, and it was great to have a home with a fenced yard for the dogs. The kitchen is well stocked, and there were plenty of supplies. The carpenter ants in the kitchen were gross, and the beds are doubles not queens. This was hard for tall adults and couples, and I hope they upgrade them to queen or kings with good quality mattresses. There were a few broken items and we wished there were chairs in the backyard for more people. Thankfully we brought some of our own. It's next to a boat rental place so if noise early in the am and the smell of gas in the evening bothers you then this isn't the right place. I know the above sounds negative but overall we were very happy there.

We have stayed at quite a few vacation rentals and this is a wonderful little place. Loved the location and we walked into town for ice cream. The yard is fully fenced and dog safe- large enough for a whole group, numerous tables and plenty of shade. The walk to the lake is honestly like 2 minutes and the beach is awesome this year. Kitchen is well stocked and easy to use. So many amenities , laundry worked great, plenty of body wash and soft towels. Beds are only doubles so that took a little getting used to but plenty of blankets and pillows. This is the first vacation rebtal ever to have fans!!!! And if you’re worried about the heat wave dont- it got up to high 80’s and the house inside remained very cool! Great communication with owner and easy check in check out. Couldn’t have been happier for a little birthday get away.

We really enjoyed our stay! Location was perfect

Great location, kitchen was well stocked, both a gas a charcoal grill. Indoor wood fireplace was great this time of year. Would definitely rent again.

Absolutely perfect spot for our first family getaway as we begin to venture out of our Covid bubble. Easy and beautiful walk to the beach and great yard for dogs and relaxing under the trees. So many cute features in the house. I am obsessed with the kitchen cabinets. House was clean and stocked with comfortable bedding and everything you need in 2 nice bathrooms. We plan to return soon!

The house was great. Very clean and had everything we needed. Loved the wood burning stove and the short walk to the dog friendly beach!

This is a cozy home near the lake. Everything is great and we all enjoyed our stay. Highly recommend!

Very nice cabin in great location

We had a wonderful stay at the cabin. It was well stocked and cozy. Would definitely reserve again.

We were 3 families each with children around 2 years old. The house was well stocked with games and books. The location was great. We walked to the lake everyday. FYI, the stairs don’t have a railing so I recommend bringing a baby gate if you have young children.

Really enjoyed our stay. Cabin is cozy, neat, and has all necessities. Great communication with owner. Loved the location (not how the driveway is flat esp. during snow days). Easy walk for out door activities and only a mile ish away from groceries/restaurants. Fenced in yard was perfect for the dogs.

We love the location. It is close to town yet we feel like we're in the woods sitting either outback or in the front.

This house is clean and has everything you need for a relaxing stay in the Tahoe area. The area is quiet, accessible, and near the beach as well as an excellent bakery. The yard is secure and worked perfectly for our dogs and for outdoor meals. I hope to stay here again!

House was super cute, clean, had everything we needed, gorgeous location. Will definitely be booking again.

Love staying here. Great place, great set up and great location.

Clean with everything you need. Having the washer/dryer was great. The yard is amazing and fenced which was perfect for our two dogs. Short walk on a forest path down to a dog beach. So much fun. Hoping we can rent this cabin again!

We love staying here. Easy to get in and out of here to where ever you are going. Close to town. You can also just hang out and enjoy the weather!

This is a very clean and well equipped house, close to the lake, great for vacation of our group of four people and a dog. We had a wonderful stay! Thank you!
