Great house for a Palisades weekend!

This house was perfect for our annual ski weekend with friends. The 5 of us easily fit in the main house with a separate room for everyone and the game room over the garage was a major bonus. The hosts were great and made check in and out very easy. Would definitely stay here again.

Serene retreat

The listing said that there were 2 bedrooms with queen beds. The one bedroom next to the hall bathroom was only a double bed so that was our disappointment. Hard for two adults to sleep in a double bed. My recommendation would be to change the listing or buy a queen beds for that room. The house was great other than that!! Plenty of room for all and very great place for family to gather. It is a beautiful home. Love all the sunny rooms and lots of beautiful windows.

Super Tahoe spot

Serene Retreat was a great location and comfy place to stay. Generally equipped very well, TV’s Sono’s system, games room. It is a little “rental tired” with things looking worn, frying pans, knives etc old and average cleaning service.

Family vacation

3 generations of family members getting together to celebrate our son and grandson’s birthdays. Nice home, great kitchen, game room over the garage a real hit with the kids. Only drawback for me was the stairs and traffic noise at night. Enjoyed dinner at the Sunnyside Restaurant.

Perfect Tahoe City house

The home was the perfect size, very cozy and comfortable. The location is ideal for getting up and down the west shore and very close to town. I have one suggestion…… I believe it’s time for new towels, hand towels and wash cloths. Everything else was fantastic!! P.J. Scharer

Our annual generational vacation. This year's location, Tahoe.

Great location. Plenty of room. Enjoyed the game room. It was nice to have a paddle board and double water ring to use. We took a lot of our own equipment but appreciated having extra to supplement. Good location for the beaches west of Tahoe city. We particularly love Sand Harbor beach on the northeast corner of Tahoe where our family has spent many summers. The garbage bin was already full when we arrived but this was quickly addressed by the rental agency.

Great Getaway

Myself and four friends rented this house for a girl's getaway. The house was a bit tricky to find because there was so much snow and it sits a little bit back from the road. The house was beautiful but is smaller than I expected after looking at the pictures. We all got our own bedrooms and had plenty of room to roam around. Beware that there are a lot of stairs. We had a few minor issues that were quickly addressed via email.

The home is convenient to Tahoe City, Homewood and Granlibakken (for the toddlers). The rooms were comfortable and spacious enough. I appreciated that there were an endless amount of towels available. The home was adequately stocked with kitchen items. The extra family room was a great play area for the kids and their toys leaving the great room tidy for the adults.

The separate bunkroom/pool table quarters over the garage was a hit with our teenage grandkids. The primary bedroom was large and on the first floor, with 4 more bedrooms on the second floor. One bedroom on the second floor has an attached bathroom and another full bath on the second floor to accommodate the other bedrooms.The outdoor area was perfect for our grandkids to build a snowman and play in the snow.An excellent family vacation home to make lasting memories!!
