About the host
Hosted by Cathy Lyfareff
My family bought this home as a vacation home years ago. We wanted to have a home that was ready for a family, so we all contributed extra items to make sure this was the "home away from home." We never have to bring anything besides our pets and our clothes when we come up. We know it's always ready for us to enjoy all that it has to offer. This is a picture of the snowman my kids built in 2020. Be sure to build one to share with the next family that will stay in this house, whether that's one from my family, or another from VRBO.
Why they chose this property
This house is ready for any stage of a family. We have a crib, several pack n plays, floor mats to enjoy like a sleep over and comfy beds for parents and older children. Lots of closet space and a washer and dryer for cleaning off either sand or whatever the kids have gotten into that day. It's incredibly dry up here so we have several humidifiers in the house to help you with combating that too. This house is ready for everything. Carnelian Bay is also a wonderful area in Tahoe. Our house is walking distance from Garwoods for dinner and the Post Office for brunch. It’s also half way between all the big ski slopes. The backyard is also nice and flat - allowing for the pets to have a chance to run around and the kids can play in the background.
What makes this property unique
Kids will be happy in the backyard playing in snow all day long or going on adventurous walks through the neighborhood with you as a family. You can sled on the driveway until the snow plow comes (make sure there is someone to stop the kids from sliding into the neighbors yard and a watch out for cars). if you want to stay in or go to the ski slopes or out to the lake to swim/fish/boat, you can - this house is central to everything. Just come ready to relax and enjoy yourself.
