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.

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!

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 The inside of the house is quite outdated, but it’s a decent amount of space, well equipped, and seemed pretty clean.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!

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!

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.

Cozy home with amazing Lake Tahoe views and access! We stayed over Thanksgiving and it was a perfect weekend refuge. Was great for a winter stay, can only imagine how perfect a summertime visit would be. Super close walk to GarWoods for drinks or dinner. Extremely comfortable beds too!

Lakeside Paradise

We rented this two bedroom house to ring in my son’s third birthday, and it was perfect. The house was clean and is nicer than the photos. The view was gorgeous. The best part was the direct lake access and large, shaded backyard. We had a piñata for him in the backyard. We used the owners paddle boat and took him out on the lake, which we all loved. Seeing Lake Tahoe from the water was a first for me; it’s so beautiful and peaceful. We also loved the swing set that overlooks the lake, which has an adult seat and toddler seat. This was the perfect spot to celebrate his 3rd birthday. Thank you, Erin and family!

Amazing Host! Wonderful outdoor space

We took a last minute 2 night much needed break and we are so grateful to Erin for making our short stay worth every second from check in, to assistance with our watercraft she was so responsive, we felt welcome before we even arrived. We love Tahoe in the summer and this home was perfect being right on the lake. Our kids enjoyed the water toys, crawdad fishing, skipping rocks into the evening and jumping off the private dock for a swim. My kids loved the swings and chilling under the pine trees which offered lots of shade. We also enjoyed warming up on the sunbathing deck after a swim and watching the sunset in the evening. We can’t wait to be back again for a longer stay. THANK YOU Erin!
