Kathleen's Tahoe home was perfect for our family getaway. All furnishings were beautiful, bedrooms very comfortable, bathrooms clean and most importantly the kitchen was fully equipped making cooking easy. An extremely quiet neighbor hood with hiking trails a step away from the house. Kathleen was prompt and a delight to communicate with.I highly recommend her beautiful home and look forward to returning in the near future.DeeSan Rafael, Marin County

The chalet is beautiful, cozy, and well appointed. The floor plan provides for privacy as well as comfortable places to gather. The kitchen is lovely. A few steps from the front door is a trailhead to a network of hiking trails, and the neighborhood is pleasant to stroll in.

The property did not live up to its description. Windows, bbq, carpets were dirty. Sofa was uncomfortable. It was cluttered. While this property has enjoyed high ratings, think twice about staying here. When we brought these things to the attention of the host, she ignored our concerns and said if we had notified her right away she could have done something. Honestly, given what was wrong that was impossible. She is unresponsive and unsympathetic. Keep looking. There are better options.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. However, we feel it is important to clarify the record regarding your two-week stay.
As you noted, we were only made aware of these concerns after your departure, at which point a refund was requested. Had you contacted us during your stay regarding any housekeeping needs, we would have been more than happy to send our cleaning team to address them immediately.
Regarding the property, our cabin is nestled in a heavily wooded mountain environment where pine needles, pollen, and natural dust are a constant factor despite our regular maintenance routines.
Additionally, while you found the main sofa unsuited to your preference, the cabin also provides three comfortable recliners for a party of two. We always strive to provide a comfortable, well-appointed retreat for our guests and regret that this stay did not meet your expectations.
We had a lovely stay in Tahoma. Flat street towards the end of the road was perfect for the kids to ride bikes and explore. Looking forward to our next stay here.

I don't get it. Everything you said is positive. You didn't mention the gourmet kitchen, the beamed ceilings, and the deck with dining for 8. And, you said you're looking forward to your next stay. Why the 4 stars?
Really beautiful cabin. Great quiet location near a dog-friendly beach. Owners are responsive and friendly. Easy cleanup process. And really great value.
This is our go to vacation home when our family wants to spend a few days together at beautiful Lake Tahoe. We have stayed here a few times. The home is clean and comfortable (very comfy mattresses!). The location is at the end of the road so very quiet, with the forest and hiking trails right next to it. We made Thanksgiving dinner here and the kitchen had all the tools we needed for a successful meal.
We had a wonderful time at Kitty’s house in Tahoe! It was perfect for our group of two families and was exactly as described. And Kitty was easy to communicate with and was very responsive to all of my questions. We hope to visit again soon!

Thank you for staying with us. You were an excellent guest!
We absolutely loved our time here. We spend a lot of time on the west shore and this house perfectly situated at the end of a cul-de-sac was amazing for us with two young kids, who are newer bike riders. We loved walking and riding bikes to chambers and Tahoma Market every morning, and the trails around the house. The house itself was perfect for us— 3 adults and 2 kids. The kitchen was nicely updated and I liked the layout— it really had everything we needed. I will definitely be staying here again!
This is at least the fifth time our family has stayed at this vacation home. It’s comfortable, has a well supplied kitchen, and is always clean. And the location is wonderful! It’s at the end of the road and is quite private, and right next to the forest with great hiking and sledding opportunities. We will be back.

Thank you for yet another great review. I’m always happy to have you return.
We were traveling with my family with younger children, and my in-laws (with limited mobility). The cabin was so comfortable for all of us and had enough room for us to spread out, and also to spend time together. The kitchen was VERY well stocked and appreciated.
House was well equipped. Downside was that house had not been prepared for arrival (water and hot water not turned on and house could have used a good cleaning); however owner was very responsive, quickly, with giving direction to get back on track.

I'm sorry about the house not being turned on. Our housekeeper miscued on the dates. Thank you for being so understanding and cooperative.

We loved everything about this property! First of all communication with the owner was outstanding, thank you! The place was beyond outstanding. Spacious, two fireplaces, very clean, great location, close to the ski resorts, games to play and movies to watch, walking trail from the cabin, BBQ on the deck, and all the appliances you need just like you were at home. The owner even created a guest book that is a Bible for everything in the area, food, sking, etc... We will definitely rent here again. Our family had the BEST time.
One of the few (maybe the only) properties that mirror the description at HomeAway. Clean, well organized rental. Everything was in working order. The kitchen had everything needed. We stayed a month and our only issue was that we couldn’t initially get connected to the internet. The issue was resolved immediately!

Thanks so much for the great review. We're glad you had a good time.

Had a great time and your cabin was very nice. The people who were in the cottage parked over so far
That we had to park one in front of the other. The only thing that was uncomfortable was thT it was very hot in there with all the fans on . I don't know if it was hotter than normal causing it. But would still come back.

Lisa, I came to the site to write a review. But I guess it was closed. Sorry, here's what I would have written.
What more can I say, Lisa left the house immaculate!
Super clean and tidy, I couldn't recommend Lisa highly enough.
Lisa was an absolute pleasure to host, and welcome back anytime.
