The Best Experience

The Cabin that we so happened to book was the largest or the biggest there. We had the best experience! From the time we checked in and started grilling till the day we checked out. We had so much fun. The nature was just so beautiful. And Kim was such a big help and was very nice and welcoming.

This was our second time staying at Emerald Point in this unit. It’s spacious clean and more than enough room for a family. Location is great being close to downtown, many of the must see sights and our favorite beach. Also close to grocery many stores and some great restaurants. We will definitely stay again 👍

Cute property with unique layout. Only couple of issues- the hallway bathtub/shower was super slippery, needs a mat inside the tub to recalls. The sink in that bathroom drained really slow. Also there were only 2 small bath towels in each bedroom, please add 2 more large ones to each room.Everything else was great and we enjoyed our stay!

Amazing trip to Tahoe!

Wanted to get away for a long weekend with a close group of friends - this was the place to do it! The location is amazing with food within walking distance and the lake and groceries just a quick drive up the street. It was a perfect communal space to play games and a kitchen to cook family-style dinners. The rooms are spread out to provide a perfect amount of privacy for the early birds and night owls to be up and moving while everyone else is sleeping. We had a great time!

Great Winter Getaway

The cabin was immaculate, beds are comfortable, furnishings and cookware are high end. Sway and his team went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. Location is terrific - near restaurants and stores, but not noisy. Super handy to have Snowshoe Thompson’s directly across the street to rent skis and snowshoes.

Good Overall Stay

Nice cabin in a nice area. A few downfalls is that there is not a laundry room and no air conditioning in the cabin. A bit of an inconvenience that we had to spend time at a laundromat because we did not have enough fresh towels to last the duration of the trip. We also visited during the summer and although it wasn't too hot while we were there, it would have been nice to still have air conditioning. The hosts recommend opening the windows but the windows don't have built-in screens in them, so opening the windows lets in bugs. We did encounter quite a number of spiders in the cabin but it is in a forestation area. Also because of the forestation and obvious high amounts of water in the area, the cabin did have a bit of a mildew smell to us.

Hi Estrella! Thanks for your review! Sorry you had to go to a laundromat. I wish you would have said something so we could have dropped off more clean towels for you. Also, I wish you would have reached out about the missing window screen. We could have dropped a replacement. Hope to host you again in the future to have another chance to show you 5 star service!

Overall we had a good experience. Cabin was as described. There were a few glitches… The bathroom window had a frosted covering that only covered part of the window. This allowed for anyone to see in. There were no hand towels in the kitchen so we used a lot of paper towels. There are 4 TVs and at least 7 remotes. We did t know which remotes belonged to which TVs and got extremely frustrated trying to watch anything. I dropped my phone and it went under the bed. It was super dirty and seemed like no one cleans it. I did try to contact the owner a handful of times without any response. Before the trip I asked if the fireplace was wood or gas. I asked on two separate occasions and got no response. While we were there I sent a message asking for help with the TVs and if we could get a dish towel. No response. Then I looked up the owners phone number, called, and left a voicemail. I got a text response asking me to clarify which property I was in. I replied, and got no response. That was very frustrating and disappointing. While I would consider each of these issues small it was the lack of repo de and totality of issues that lead me to give 4 out of five stars.
