Great - but...
Perfect for large families. Everyone had their own rooom/bathroom, which was great. Kitchen was overstocked with cooking gadgets, but no room to store food. (5 rolling pins?) We were all really looking forward to the hot tub after skiing, but it only was able to heat to 99 degrees, which made it completely unusable. A warm bath outside was not ok. Overall, we made it work and had a great time, but some upkeep is needed.

Beautiful snowy getaway
Loved our week here - location was great (close to Alpine of course but also easy access to Tahoe City and Palisades).
The hot tub surrounded by snow with the sound of the creek right behind it was a huge hit for the family. The open kitchen/dining/living was perfect for us - we cooked up many meals, played board games, and enjoyed the Tahoe vibe. The views out the many large windows was spectacular.
There was SO MUCH SNOW this year and we were grateful for the driveway being plowed but this usually happened in the late afternoon so plan on digging out the driveway to get your car out of the garage if you want to get out for the day.
We had issues with the water heater not working but the property management team was responsive and excellent and my understanding is that the owner is replacing it so shouldn't be an issue for future stays.

Dirty, plumbing issues, and unorganized property management
My husband and I formerly held a ski lease with Tahoe Getaways, and continue to be disappointed in working with them. They are unprofessional, disorganized, their properties are dirty, and more often than not having serious issues with their houses (in this case the plumbing).
The carpets were badly stained and the bedding that was on the beds hadn’t been washed. We found blood stains as well as a crusty substance on 4/7 beds. There were no dish towels so we had to buy some from Safeway. The tub water for 2 bathrooms never ran and made a loud screeching sound when turning it on but failed to work. There was hair and dirt in the showers and on the floors. The list goes on.
When we reached out to extend our stay due to the storm, I didn’t receive a response for quite some time. After letting me know they had other guests that didn’t cancel the reservation, we decided to leave Saturday instead of Sunday and I let them know via voicemail.
On Sunday I received 5 separate phone calls from their team - all who clearly hadn’t spoken to each other and had completely different messages for me. Some staff said that we could stay if we were still there because they hadn’t heard from the new guests, some staff said we needed to leave, but all staff clearly hadn’t taken any notes. Incredibly unprofessional and disorganized.

Property management could be a lot better
1. Both trash bins were full and spilling over upon our arrival. As the garbage collection was still a few days away and this is bear country, we decided to load the disgusting trash into our car to take them to the disposal site, only to find that the one given in the instructions was no longer taking trash, therefore we had to drive farther away to the one at Cabin Creek. To be fair, the property management responded the next day to say they would take care of it and that it was not their usual practice, but it was not an ideal way to spend our vacation time.
2. The kitchen faucet broke off. On this incident, the property management did find a plumber to come out on a Sunday and fix it. Kudos to them.
3. Many amenities were not in working condition: the master bedroom's door handle fell off, the door to the backyard had no lock, a few drawers had no handles, the kid pool table leg was broken (they did put a warning sign though), many of the window/door screens are either broken or missing, so many bugs got into the house. And we couldn't open the windows even when it was very hot at night.
4. The bathrooms are very outdated.
Despite all this, our family still had a good time in Tahoe at this cabin. But considering the nightly rate we paid for this, we would have expected the property management to be more on top of things. On the surface, the house looked great. But once you start looking at the details, there are lots of issues. They need to work on maintaining the property.

Enjoyable Stay
Home was roomy, clean and kitchen well stocked. We thought the view of the creek from the large window in the family room was really nice and it was pleasant to listen as well from the upstairs deck, open windows and downstairs patio and hot tub. There were several negative comments made about this place in the reviews but I did not find that any of them applied. Glad I did not pay attention to them. Also has a very nice location in Alpine and close to Squaw Valley Village.

Amazing Stay!
Great ski getaway with the family. Plenty of room for the three kids to spread out and attend online school in the AM and ski in the afternoons. Convenient location minutes from Alpine and Squaw. Kitchen is stocked with every appliance you could ask for and enough plates, dishes, etc. for big groups. Everything was really clean, beds were comfortable and the bathrooms had heated floors! (A nice bonus in the winter.) Only slight inconvenience was the speed and consistency of the wifi service.
All in all, great place and I would definitely recommend.

The house and linen were dusty.
The house is beautiful but dusty. We all have our allergies flared up. The linens and blanket smell like damp and dusty as well. The bed was so hard and uncomfortable. All of us weren't able to have a good night sleep. This trip was for relaxation and away from work. We all end up sick and body aches. Im wondering if they really disinfected the place for COVID 19 regulations. I am very disappointed for the price that we paid for what we experienced renting this home.

Kitchen does need to be declutter. Knifes are not sharp, pots/pans need to be updated. Crockpot should be large to accommodate large groups. No kitchen towels.

Amazing views, lovely setting, very comfortable for a large group.
Very roomy! All bedrooms and bathrooms were outstanding and large!

Quality furnishings.
Huge dining table. Kitchen VERY well-stocked! In fact, I’ve never seen so much glassware in a private home! Perhaps fewer glasses and cups and more empty cupboards for food storage would be a good idea
