The Place to Be with the Family

Four generations came together and had a beautiful vacation at the Serene Retreat in Tahoe City. The front yard served as a wonderful place to watch the kids play, areas for adults to sit and play bocci ball and cornhole. All the rooms were clean and very comfortable. Enjoyed our days at the beach (short drive) and rafting on the Truckee River. The deck off the living room provided a beautiful place for morning coffee and watching the sunrise. There was enough room for everyone to gather or to be alone. We definitely felt like we were at home away from home.

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.

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.

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.

Large and Gorgeous Mountain Home

My group (7 adults) and I had an incredible time at this Sunnyside home! The house itself is gorgeous with a stone floor, large fire place, deck, updated kitchen, wine fridge, the list goes on and on! We loved that the house came so well stocked, regular bath towel and hot tub towels, pans, tupperware, keurig, etc were all provided. Everything was spotless and clean. The location was great, only took up 15 minutes to get to Palisades in the morning. The house also has a view of the lake! I didn't realize from the photos that the game room is above the garage, but its really easy to access. It seems the county of Tahoe City has a lot of regulations and I had to sign a very long contract, but it's nothing too out of pocket.
