Lovely lake stay

Beautiful location on Lake Tahoe! The kitchen is well stocked with dishes, utensils, cooking supplies, and more - made it really easy to stay in and enjoy the lake. Good living spaces to chill. We enjoyed our stay and look forward to a return to the area.

This home was perfect

From the moment I pulled in the drive I knew we’d made a good decision to stay at the Run-About. Truly and outstanding property. It was hands down the cleanest VRBO I’ve ever stayed in. The views and sounds from the deck are so much better than the pictures can convey. Outstanding home!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were so happy with our stay at Runabout Lake House in Cedar Flat! The house was impeccable and well stocked. The location is exactly what you are looking for in Lake Tahoe--right on the lake with your own dock, close to a few restaurants and grocery stores, and has great views of the lake from every room. We are already looking for a summer date to book at the same house.

Everything was simply wonderful at Runabout Lakefront! What a treat to be ON the lake with your own private dock. The house was spotless...really clean!...and the decor was that charming "classic lake house" vibe: cozy and intimate. The gas fireplace was easy to use --perfect in the mornings and evenings. Staying here was a dream come true! One other note that I'd like to mention; I've stayed in several VRBO houses where it looked like someone made a mad dash through a thrift store, grabbing a random assortment of mismatched silverware to toss in a kitchen drawer. (Yes...really.) But NOT here! WOW! I opened their drawer and discovered a gleaming new complete set of matching silverware. YES!!! If you're planning a special celebration (family reunion, Thanksgiving, etc.) it's really important to be able to set a nice table. This attention to detail is emblematic of how everything in this house is top notch. I'm looking forward to coming back again. Thank you, Runabout Owners, for taking such good care of your house and sharing it with us.

Beautiful, up-close lake views and beach

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is about as close as you can get to the lake. Steps from the shore and dock, with beautiful and unobstructed morning, evening, and all day views of Lake Tahoe. Great location, about five minutes from Tahoe City, and restaurants / grocery going the other direction as well. Great house, clean, up-to-date, with really nice great room, sitting room / den, and one of the bedrooms a cozy upstairs one. Thank you for the great house.

Better Than Advertised!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was beautiful and well stocked. There was plenty of room for our party of six adults with two separate sitting areas so we could spread out a little. The deck and the lower seating area were fantastic, such a great place for coffee, drinks or just hanging out. The pictures don't really do the view of the lake justice, it's pretty magnificent.We hated to leave this property and would definitely stay here again - thanks!
