We couldn't have picked a better cabin to stay in for my wife's 40th birthday. We enjoyed barbecuing, using the hot tub, and playing croquet in the back yard. We felt like the cabin was perfectly centralized for all our outdoor activities. Hiking, cycling, and boating etc... Thank you for making our first trip to Lake Tahoe a memorable one, we will be back!

The view of the lake through the trees was beautiful and the house open and easy to be in. The kids loved the lawn in the back and we all had a great time.
I stayed with family in this beautiful home - excellent location. Spacious and perfect for gathering with friends and family. The property manager was extremely communicative and responsive. I will definitely be renting this home again!

The house was absolutely perfect and well maintained. We had 4 couples who stayed and each had our own room and bathroom. The house was spacious enough that we didn't feel like we were on top of each other. The inside was clean and outdoors was well groomed and maintained. Everything was easy to get to and overall we enjoyed our stay. Would highly recommend.

Dear Elizabeth,
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a positive review. Tahoe Rental Company is delighted you enjoyed your stay. Tahoe Rental Company would be happy to host you again on a future vacation.
Sincerely,
Tahoe Rental Company
Great place for families. Nice beds and plenty of bathrooms. Close to grocery stores. Snow park right down the street, grand kids love sledding and ice skating in Squaw valley. (I refuse to call it palisades). Town of Truckee a short beautiful drive away with a kid zone museum and for some California history, the Donner memorial. We had snow but no skiing yet….
Kitchen was a little smaller then we thought but no big. Would like to return in summer to enjoy the beautiful backyard. Champagne and grand kids, everything I look for in a thanksgiving getaway! Everyone had a great time.
Beautiful house for multiple families. Furnishings, indoor and outdoor space, kitchen, all beautiful. The internet access was completely non-functional for the entirety of our stay. This was not due to a provider outage but was specific to the property itself. We had four working adults who were relying on a stable internet connection to work remotely, which was one of the reasons we selected this home. In addition to impacting our ability to work, this issue rendered the numerous TVs—each reliant on internet streaming—unusable. Secondly, the dryer in the home was not working, a fact confirmed by the maintenance technician. With eight people staying at the property, including four children, this created a significant inconvenience. We had planned accordingly to do laundry during the stay and did not overpack, assuming the listed amenities would be available and functional. While we understand that occasional issues can arise, the combination of all these problems made our stay far less enjoyable and convenient than we had expected. The lack of resolution during the stay only added to our frustration. Heather from Tahoe Rental Company was great to try and resolve our issues. However, given the extent of the disruptions, we were given a less than satisfactory resolution on our cost.

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a detailed review. We’re very sorry to hear that your experience fell short of expectations due to the internet and dryer issues during your stay. We understand how important reliable Wi-Fi and functional laundry facilities are, especially for families and working adults, and regret that these problems caused frustration and inconvenience. While our team, including Heather, worked to resolve matters, we recognize the disruptions impacted your vacation and overall enjoyment of the home.
We appreciate your kind words about the house itself and Heather’s efforts, and we’ll continue working to improve how we address and resolve these situations moving forward. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us provide a better experience for future guests.

We took our grown children and grandsons for a 5 night stay at Lazy Bear. The house was beautiful and perfect, plenty of room for everyone to have their own space . Great location to snow park and Boreal. However we did have a few issues that needed attention luckily my husband could make all the repairs . We had a difficult time coresponding with Bethany from Tahoe rentals. The hot water faucet was broken in the master suite, the air hockey table was broken and duct taped together. The hot tub had three jets floating around in it. We never received the towels for the hot tub which was fine . The shower in the other master suite wouldn’t drain.I would hope the rental company would walk through the house prior to guests checking in or when they arrive. There were a few other minor issues but my husband did fix everything so we had a wonderful stay. We loved being able to cook and bbq and all be together in this beautiful home . We did contact Bethany but took 3 days for her to reply. Also none of our issues were considered an emergency by their house book. I did contact them again after we were home but they was not any real resolution. If you stay and have any issues I suggest you contact Heather as she is most helpful and professional. All in all we did love this house very much and would recommend it to families to all be together and enjoy a vacation as we all did .

Kelly - Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We’re so glad to hear that you and your family enjoyed the house and its spaciousness, as well as its location.
We apologize for the issues you encountered during your stay. Our staff have various days off but we make sure that our office remains available to guests at any time, with contact information posted in several locations — both within the home and in our guest documents. We should have ensured that another team member was available to assist you and are sorry that this wasn’t the case.
After reviewing our communication, it appears we weren't made aware of these issues until after your departure - We hope to have the opportunity to assist during a future stay and ensure these are handled in a timely manner.
We truly appreciate your recommendation of the home and are glad you had a wonderful vacation with your family. ~Tahoe Rental Company
Thank you for your kind words! We’re so glad you found the home beautiful, warm, and comforting. We’d love to welcome you back anytime.

This is the best house that we have rented in Tahoe. Stocked so we'll, clean and the backyard is perfect for families to play in with their kids. Everyone in our group agreed that we should try and get this place again next year.

Our family of 8 had a wonderful holiday stay at Lazy Bear lodge. The five bedroom home was perfect for us. I have rented homes all over the world and own a vacation home. Lazy Bear Lodge had the most well equipped kitchen I have ever been to with everything needed to make any gourmet cook happy. The location is very quiet and you can see a glimpse of Lake Tahoe through the trees on the back deck. We love Homewood and recommend Sunnyside and Swiss Restaurant for dinner. Winter or summer Lazy Bear Lodge would make every family happy.

This house would be great house for the summer but not so much for the winter time. We stayed here in the winter time, it’s big house with such a small hot water heater. We ran out of hot water every time when kids took a bath. And hard to access the back yard in the winter time. A good location with a walking distance to lake.
