Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy
TThe unit was clean and close to the ski resort, which worked out well. However, we rented the unit because it was listed as a two-bedroom. I would say the place would be more accurately described as a studio with a king bed and a bunkbed. Also, the toilet was not working. I messaged the host many times without any acknowledgement.
We really enjoyed our stay. Our room was clean and comfortable, and we liked the location. The cabins set back from the road and it was quiet. It was a relaxing location.
Great place to stay in South Lake Tahoe. It was clean and well stocked. The location is placed well, close to restaurants and state parks. The host was communicative, and the check-in and check-out process went smoothly. It was the perfect place to stay for our trip.
Looked just like the photos - modern touches were great! Check out the little cafe right across the street and the playground right behind. We would definitely stay here again with our kiddos!

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in
Bunk bedding was minimal for adults with only since thin blankets. Would expect some duvets or heavier covers.Entrance door was in the drip zone from the roof and gutters. It was a skating rink getting in and out of the unit. Very sketch.Cleaning fee more than it should be for such a tiny space. Booking on a peak holiday weekend with limited inventory. What ya gonna do?

Great location for visiting South Lake Tahoe - my friends and I found our drive times varied between 15 and 30 mins - and the room itself is practical and well-styled.
We had a great stay here! The kids loved the bunk beds. The location was close to everything. The host responded quickly and was friendly, hospitable, and helpful. I would recommend this place to anyone.
This is a great little place for a quick overnight stay. Exactly as advertised. The place was clean and great for an overnight stay with my son for a concert. Commutation with the manager was easy and smooth.

Thank you, Richard!! Glad you and your son enjoyed the space :)
You can tell this is a newly remodeled space and perfect for a couple days in Tahoe. I would not rent this unit for more than 2 people as it is pretty small.

Thanks for the awesome review, Ryan!! Appreciate it!
We came for a soccer tournament. This location was close to the fields. It’s a very cute cabin that you can go and relax. It has a nice hang out area outside which was great with the kids. The lake also is very close! We would stay again.

Thank you for the 5 stars, Ericka! It really means a lot! Hope to host you again soon.
Went here with some friends for a weekend ski trip and was not disappointed! It is in a great location where it is quiet, but still close to the town and ski resort. The owner is also incredibly nice and patient and helped us out so much when we had any questions or needed help. Would love to come here again.
Our buddy (5'10") fit comfortably in the bunk bed and the location is convenient for both mountain and lake access. There are plenty of food options right nearby. I appreciate how well laid out (and spotless) the unit is.Sway was very helpful when we had questions and the whole process was easy and relaxing.
This condo is clean and comfortable, easily accessible. It is also walking distance to food and a quick drive to the slopes at Heavenly. The host checks in daily to see if anything is needed and is incredibly responsive. My group of 3 snowboarders agree we would definitely stay here again!

Thank you, WIlliam!! Really appreciate the awesome review :)
Great location, just a few minutes drive to Heavenly, easy to park. Description is accurate the only minor caveat is heater is gas based, so noise or smell need to be something you need to get used to. Other than that great place to stay
Perfect spot with easy keyless/contactless check-in, Cllean and comfortable with plenty of plush. Couldn’t figure out how to make the TV work but that’s not why I was there.
Super helpful and responsive host.
