Great House

Huge house with lots of room. Had plenty of room to spread out and relax. The pictures do not do this house justice. However, the house could do with some updates.

Pictures can be deceiving

Great location and good house for bachelors only. Every small space is tur Ed into a room. Bedroom. #4 is an attic turned into bedroom with 2 beds but only way to get there is through a makeshift ladder next to a long drop of stairs case. OSHA would have a field day. For skiers the house is in a great location

Getaway weekend

This is a quiet location and ideal home for a large group. However, I must say there are some things that needed update such as the mattresses and bedding. Some beds you could actually feel the springs on your body. One of the sinks was leaking so the use was limited. We were unable to find toilet paper so we had to share with other bathrooms. So if your group just wanted a place to take a break and go do other activities then this place would be fine.

Vacation from hell

The house smelled moldy. There were dead bugs on one of the bed. Dangerous chair placement in the "library". Trundle bed collapsed on lower mattress. Faucet not working in one the bathroom sinks. Internet not available. Pictures were entirely deceiving. Large holes in the ceiling sheetrock. For such a large house, the parking was a mess and one of the spaces was taken up by a broken down car. What a nightmare experience. The only redeeming part was that the property managers were very responsive to our complaints. They scored a 10 our of 10!

Great spot for large groups

This is a really fun property. We met one of the owners, Tuck, while there and he was very friendly and personable. The views from the back windows are gorgeous and there was plenty of space for our group of 14 (plus two babies). It's a quirky place and feels like the Winchester Mystery House but we got a kick out of it.

Internet not available and didn’t stay here

We didn’t end up renting the property because we arrived to learn that the internet was out and had been for a month. This was a non started for us so we had to find alternate accommodations and never stayed at this house. Bev refunded our money promptly.

Funky House, great views and location

We really enjoyed our stay at this house, which has an unusual layout that worked well for our family, which included our son, daughter-in-law, and their baby. The house is really two homes combined, so they had their own separate "unit" so to speak, which was wonderful. And the property managers were great to work with when we had a couple of small issues at the beginning. Very responsive, and followed up to make sure it was all okay. Lastly, being so close to the mountain was fantastic!

Amazing house meant for large gatherings

The house is HUGE! Everyone had a place to stay! The house is somewhat of a castle which only adds to how unique it truly is. Older home but is more than accommodating. The house also has a few games to choose from near the piano area.

Nice big place!!

We had plenty of room for my family of 5 and my partners family of 4. Walking distance to resort and quiet private neighborhood. Could use some upgrades and a deep clean but overall an excellent place to stay. Would stay there again for sure.

ALMOST 5 stars ...

Property was perfect for our family Thanksgiving - roomy and comfortable. The only reason it doesn’t get 5 stars are a few minor appliance and lighting issues that made preparation of meals a little challenging. But no stopping us - what a blast! Tons of towels and everything we needed.

Well-stocked, beautiful home. Bev very easy to work with.

Lots of room for our family reunion. Most of our group were 70+ and one over 90, so the multi level stairs were a bit of a challenge for some of us. Dining room large enough to accommodate all of us. Very comfortable home and lovely scenery.

Wedding Weekend

Our niece got married in Squaw Valley, and this property worked perfect for multiple adult family couples and a few grandkids. Everyone had their own private space to get ready for the wedding, and we had a great time later in the large dining/living room area for game night. We enjoyed having a bbq and hot tub available to relax and unwind. Easy walk to the local Starbucks and several Pub/Grills. We will return again soon. Thanks / Lee

Beautiful yet comfortable home for large group

This was the second time we have rented this home--it's perfect and lovely in every way. The view of the mountains from three of the bedrooms as well as the dining and living rooms is stunning. Being within walking distance of Squaw Village - with more views of those mountains - is great. It's also a short drive to Tahoe City. The house itself lacks for nothing and the owner, Jean, along with his care takers, are very responsive and pleasant to do business with. We hope to return for another happy, memory-making vacation next year.

Clean, Spacey, Open, Warm, Great Value & Close

We were very impressed with this rental property. The photos do the place no justice. It is very clean, warm, and has a great open layout with a common dining/kitchen/living/deck area. Private bedrooms with many bathrooms and sinks. The owner is extremely responsive and the place is well taken care of. The price is unbeatable this close to the lifts/village (short walk). It is a great value. Highly recommend for a multifamily gathering. Enjoy Your Stay.

A lovely birthday retreat!

My family and friends gathered here to celebrate my birthday and had a wonderful time. We had 8 people and were able to gather comfortably around the large table, spread out in the living room and cook up a storm. We especially liked the deck outside---just to sit and relax---and grill. We especially appreciated the prompt and helpful support from the owner, Jean and we would happily recommend this unit to others.

Perfect for our needs -

We were a large group (10 adults and 3 infants, but had plenty of private and public space. Jean was very helpful and accommodating with all our requests. The house is on a quiet street, has a beautiful view, and is very accessible to the Squaw Valley complex (12 minutes walk, 2 minute drive). The house is clean, well-equipped (2 fridges, a BBQ, hot-tub, etc.) and a great base for our vacation. We would definitely stay there again.

great house for large family group

We had a large family group, with 7 adults and 5 children. the configuration of the main floor is excellent because of the large open area, but with different areas, so everyone can be together but doing different things at the same time. Very well equipped and useable kitchen. Great views of the ski area, which is accessible by foot or a short drive. About 2 stories worth of stairs up to street, so everyone has to be hale and hearty. The owner Jean is very helpful. We would definitely stay her again.

Awesome house while we attended Wanderlust Festival

This place was awesome. Our crew of Wanderlust teachers were tucked into the trees with easy access to the village. The house is super spacious. The mile walk down to the village was a beautiful way to start each morning with a clear mind and the hot tub was a perfect retreat in the evenings. We will definitely stay here again. Thanks Jean!
