The cabin was extremely clean and well maintained. We stayed 5 days and there were plenty towels and linens. The hot tub was a great feature considering we came for the snow and there was no snow the entire trip. We would most definitely book this cabin again.

Comfortable home for large adults

Stayed here with our older teens as well as our in-laws. We loved the spacious kitchen-our food prep, feasting, and clean up was not cramped when multiple people were in the kitchen at the same time. Teens enjoyed the board games and family room. The hot tub was clean and ready for use. The deck off the primary bedroom was nice and it was so lovely to take in the scenery. We also loved the steam feature in the shower. The garage stored sleds and other outdoor activity gear but also fit our 2 SUVs. There was a lot of toys for younger kids also stored in the house along with dvds. Check in/check out process was exceptional. We will definitely return.

A solid stay!

This was a good rental for a family trip to the snow with plenty of space, a nice layout, and lots of toys for inside and snow play. The place has all kinds of great perks like a hot tub and steam room, but there were some basics that aren't well maintained. There was an outlet missing a wall plate, a partially broken shower nozzle, a crib with an unusable mattress - nothing that was a deal breaker, but things that could also easily be fixed. Traveling with small kids we don't mind staying in a place that feels lived in, in fact it gives us less to worry about as the kids are playing inside, but others might find the place in need of updates and a good, deep cleaning.

Ok rental

The house was ok. Not gteat. No AC. The home was probably built in the 80's and it shows. The furniture....eh. Noticeable items we didn't like: The entertainment center is an absolute disaster. 5 or 6 remotes with no instructions for their use and wires hanging out everywhere. TV is small and very oddly placed in the corner. The hanging light over the kitchen table is WAY off center so you easlily bang your head on it when going to sit. The deck outside had a couple broken chairs with oddly high railing. The jaccuzi cover is trash. But, we had a great time otherwise. No matter where you stay, Tahoe is AWESOME.

Lake Tahoe Ski Trip

Overall we had a great time and the house was perfect to accommodate our group of 5. The property management company’s customer service makes up for the updates needed to the house. Provided a gift bag at check in with a few initial toiletries to get us by for a day or two, but you will need to bring/purchase your own if staying more than a couple days. Great location to access Heavenly and roughly an hour to Kirkwood and Northstar. The house is in a neighborhood, but there is plenty of shopping and stores within 5-10 min drive. Make sure to park in the garage if you can, so they can plow the driveway! Pros: Easy check in and check out process Property management customer service Location to ski resorts and shopping Space and layout of house suitable for multiple guests Hot tub and steam shower in master bedroom ample kitchen utensils Quiet neighborhood Cons: Stains on bedding, floors, furniture Hot tub cover needs replaced Weather strip on garage door falling off and allowing water to leak into garage floor Audio/video equipment confusing to operate and/or broken and outdated Few pots and pans for cooking Porches and bear box for trash were not cleaned of snow Cleanliness of kitchen utensils
