Great place on the N Shore of Lake Tahoe

Loved the view ! The inside just needs a bit more cleaning … many cob webs and no bath soaps and I really wanted to take a bath but no plug for the tub. We really want to stay again though :)

Infant Friendly

Of course, we brought our own Pack & Play, but as the host provided one, we were able to have one set up in the upstairs bedroom and in the living room, which made things very convenient.

Another great stay!

This property is just right for us. Wonderful view and location just far enough away from the city to feel good. Plenty of amenities. Unfortunately they were doing 24/7 road construction just next to the property, but they moved far enough away in a day or two and it was fine after that. Nothing to be done and not owner's fault. Lake was full which always makes it nice. Already booked for next year!

Perfect Family Vacation

We had a great time and everything was as pictured. The home is older and a bit disorganized but cozy. The amenities were great. We used the paddle boat and kayaks. There were only 2 life jackets in the house which was fine for us given we only had 1 person under 12yo. I was surprised there were no beach towels and we ended up purchasing some which was fine since we drove vs flying. The bugs were to be expected but a bit too much for me at times, lots of spiders in the house. It wasn’t the cleanest place I’ve ever stayed inOverall we had a great time and will hopefully revisit in the future.

Ideal location

Amazing location! Great spot for a family summer vacation. The outdoor spaces are so awesome. The large porch, big grassy area, the swing set, the boat house deck, access to paddle boat and kayak, and of course the lake! Hard to beat this combo. The inside of the house is quite outdated, but it’s a decent amount of space, well equipped, and seemed pretty clean. We would have preferred a slightly more updated interior, and upgraded bedding/pillows, but the location and outside features made up for where the house was slightly lacking. I think we’ll be back!

Lovely

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this cottage. We loved the wrap around porch with a perfect view of the lake. The yard was amazing; we only wished for some comfortable chairs down on the grass and especially on the boat house deck. We ended up purchasing some on our own to use and donating them to the house. The kitchen was well appointed and easy to cook some fantastic dinners! We could see some updates were being made to the doors ( with the pieces of wood we had to step over to go outside) but that was a small price to pay for the comfort of our stay. We will be back.

very disappointing

Sorry Erin, I was so disappointed when i walked into your cabin. There is so much deferred maintenance there. Carpets were full of black stains, door screens hanging by a thread,slider did not lock, many, many other problems. Needs an upstairs window covering as main road is so close to the property, anybody can see in. The very next day I went out looking for another place to stay. Because I prepaid for 4 nights, I stuck it out. I am returning to the Lake, but would not stay at your cabin again. You were so nice on the phone that i didn't want to complain.

Great location, cute house

Let me start by saying that I would absolutely book this home again. The lakefront location absolutely can not be beat. It is serene and beautiful and the views are unmatched. Access to the rooftop of the boathouse is definitely a huge plus. It’s the perfect place to hang out and enjoy the beauty that is Lake Tahoe. The house is well appointed, and even the pull out couches are extremely comfortable. We were a bit surprised to see that the upstairs bathroom did not have a door, so there was a bit of maneuvering to make things work out with 7 of us staying in the house. There is the one bedroom upstairs, and the stairs are immediately out the door, so if you’re staying with young children I would keep that in mind. I know my kids, and they are a bit of kamikazes sometimes so I might be a little bit nervous staying with younger ones. The water heater kept up extremely well with a large group, which was definitely a plus. Kitchen has enough pots and pans and dishes to cook and serve food. There was also a blender, some electric skillets, and a regular coffee maker. There is a Safeway nearby for any grocery needs, and multiple 7-Eleven‘s if you just need something small and quick. It is a short drive in to Kings Beach where there are more food options, tenders and easy drive into Incline Village and the state line area with casinos. Erin was attentive and quick to respond to a couple questions, so that was greatly appreciated. For the price and the location this house is a definite find. I hope to come back with my family soon so they can also experience the beauty that is Lake Tahoe.

September long weekend

The outdoor living space and amenities are unbelievable! The pictures do not capture the deck, grassy area or the lake access. Our group of two couples was comfortable with the indoor living space. The kitchen was well equipped — the only suggestion would be a few more coffee cups. I would absolutely stay again!
