Chase - Thanks for staying with us and for your comments. The house has since seen updates in furniture and bedding, some plumbing fixtures, and additional TVs. Have we missed anything? - The property managers

Ed - Thanks for staying with us, and thanks for the comments. We love the privacy afforded by the separation of the two upstairs areas; glad you did too.

I'm not sure why Albert thinks the pictures are deceiving; another reviewer commented that they don't do the house justice. The only issue that Albert' mentioned is the attic/loft, which is NOT BR 4. It is not a bedroom at all, nor is it even shown or mentioned in the listing. Children often like to play up there, since the floor is covered by mattresses; but if it will make you happy, we can just lock it off during your stay. As you can read in the listing, the house has 5 bedrooms (all legitimate bedrooms), plus a daybed/trundle in the library, and two Full-size futons in the family room. With a very large kitchen (with 2 refrig/freezers), large dining room, large living room, large family room, and a large back deck, this home offers lots of congregating space for multi-generation family gatherings, small wedding parties, reunions, or multiple families looking to enjoy Tahoe together. - The property manager

Jake - Thanks for staying with us, and thank you for the comments; they're helpful. Since your visit, there is a lot of new furniture and bedding. The leaking sink faucet was also replaced. I'm not sure how the toilet paper happened; we try to leave a roll on the holder an 2 back-ups.

We're very sorry that Joan had such a bad experience, and she did. We try to make our guests happy and comfortable. Fortunately, she called us shortly after arrival with some concerns. We offered to move her to another property, which she chose to do; so her group did not even stay in the house, but they did tell us that they had a very enjoyable stay at the other property. Here's an update on the issues she raises: 1. The trundle bed's wooden support was badly broken; I'm guessing that a previous guest had kids who used the bed as a trampoline. The support structure has since been replaced with a new one. We also noticed that the twin beds in the downstairs twin bedroom were not adequately supported, so we have fixed that issue as well. 2. The faucet had recently begun leaking internally, so the water to it was shut off. The faucet has since been replaced. 3. We do not control the internet. We are "in the woods", and, despite the local community being tech-savvy, all properties in the region are subject to outages that we don't control. 4. The hole in the sheet rock ceiling was to help detect the source of leaking from the bathroom above. The upstairs shower surround was determined to be the source and has been replaced. The ceiling currently has a temporary painted plywood panel to allow us to ascertain that the problem is indeed solved and will be replaced by new sheet rock when practical to do so. 5.. There is one parking space in the garage and room for 4 additional cars on the parking pad. as described in the listing. We do not control street parking, which is not allowed in the winter months so as to not interfere with snow removal. This is a very large home with a number of common areas to gather, making it an excellent choice for family gatherings, small wedding parties and reunions. - The Property Managers.

Alfredo - Thank you for your comments. The pole is not a concern; I'm sure it was pulled loose by previous guests grabbing onto it or leaning against it. MIce are an annual ritual at Tahoe and might be found in virtually any property in the region. They move indoors from the woods in late November and we begin trapping. We have usually eradicated them all by mid to late December. I'm glad that your family had an enjoyable stay, and we hope to host you again on your next visit to Tahoe.
