Had a great time in this cabin. Kitchen was very well stovked wuth everything we needed to make all our meals comfortably. Enough room for the entire family to hang out, play board games and watch movies. Fantastic location. Only issue was the hot tub wasnt clean and had an odd color and smell so we were disappointed not to be able to use it. Otherwise great place.
We had a fantastic time in this cabin and loved the area and amnesties. When we arrived, the hot tub was unfortunately very dirty so we could not use it for the first two days however when we called the company, they immediately send a guy out who got it cleaned and up and running asap. That was great and speedy service. Highly recommend this place. Cleaning could be a little more thorough in the house in general as well (found a few items from previous guests under furniture).
Chose this property because it had a hot tub and had great reviews. We were very happy with the location near Tahoe City, the well appointed cabin and the hot tub. Took many nice walks through the neighborhood as we had perfect weather.
We had a small friend gathering for the weekend here. There was plenty of space for 8 people. The location was ideal location to get to Palisades and Alpine. Would stay here again.
Good location, we did some skiing at Palisades. 15 minute drive or 5 minute drive to the bus stop. Convenient to groceries and the Tahoe bakery. Hot tub was pretty good. Inside is a bit dated, but good value. Only small improvement suggestion is I wish there was an electronic key lock, driving to the far east end of Tahoe City to pick up and drop off keys is a little inconvenient when there is traffic downtown. Would stay again
We enjoyed our stay - hot tub and neighborhood were awesome. Close to town and ski resorts. Kitchen was well stocked. Dish soap and coffee filters were missing but that was a minor inconvenience. Beds can use new linens and blankets and it would be awesome to have a little wood and instructions for the wood burning fireplace. We'd stay again.
The property is nice large house and excellent for a family or group of friends. The furnishings and mattresses are getting dated and could use a refreshing. The bannister on the stairs to the main deck is starting to have some splinters.
The chalet is nicely located. Access to a couple of well stocked grocery stores. The kitchen is well labeled. The hot tub is excellent and very welcoming after a day of hiking.

Perfect Spring family get away
Great layout from kitchen to dining area, everything nicely labeled right on cabinets, drawers for all utensils, well stocked plates, pots/pans for any cooking needs. Bed rooms and bathrooms well stocked to accommodate our stay. And the hot tub after a day of skiing on the go all day was awesome on the back deck, with a gas grill too. Cozy living room with a small fireplace, with lots of windows in front of home and front porch. Dana, was outgoing and very helpful to make our stay a pleasure! Management staff in town were friendly, we look forward to coming back and would definitely stay again. Thank you

Great location, house, and hot-tub
Stayed here for a ski weekend with some friends. The location is awesome, 10 minutes to squaw/alpine. The hot tub was great, and the house had everything we needed to cook, relax, etc. No complaints at all.

What a great place to stay! It feels like visiting someone’s home, and the layout is really great.
We really enjoyed our stay, the hot tub was hot, the beds were comfortable, and the layout and amenities were top notch. That kitchen has everything you could need, and the knives are actually sharp. I was so happy to find this place, and we will definitely be back.

Great Home very comfortable. It was nice that everything was labeled making it easy to find things
The home was nice, within walking distance to hiking trails or grocery store. Everything was labeled making it easy to find cooking utensils. The cabin was clean and the hot tub was wonderful. The reservation system was easy and picking up the keys at the realtor office was not a problem at all. Very prompt owners answered all of our questions. Excellent location near the ski resorts and the lake. I would recommend this place I would go back again!!

Mens' guy trip skiing from Minnesota
The accommodation's were quite nice. We cooked in - thus the kitchen that was nicely stocked with cook ware - came in very handy. The condo was very comfortable and clean. We used the hot tub each night - which was nice and hot and easily handled 4 adult guys. The driveway was right next to the stairs that lead in-side - so unloading groceries was easy. We will stay here again.

Lake Tahoe visit
The house was comfortable and has 4 bedrooms. The kitchen was well equipped.
Of course the lake was beautiful and we enjoyed driving around the lake and taking walks along the shore. On the surface the house appeared clean, but our service dog found snacks along the edge of the kitchen floor. The area rugs in the bathrooms and kitchen needed to be washed. When i pulled back the bedding on my bed, the sheets were covered in human hair. I washed them before going to bed. The upstairs was warm and the window in one of the bedrooms wouldn‘t open. In the downstairs bedroom, the blanket needed washing.
We really enjoyed Lake Tahoe and never had a bad meal at the restaurants. The air was clean and Fresh and smelled of pine.
The house although comfortable was not as clean as expected and we were disappointed.
The $400 cleaning fee seemed excessive in light of the condition of the house.

Loved our stay
The combination of location, space, amenities, and price was excellent for our summer vacation. Friends who stayed nearby and paid a higher price were less satisfied. We'd definitely go back!
