Hi Aaron - Thanks for your review, we're glad to hear the home was a great fit for your group including the bedroom count and large living room! We hope you enjoyed your time in Tahoe and we hope to host you again soon ~Tahoe Rental Company
Enjoyed our stay in this cozy cabin. The property manager was very responsive and allowed us to extend our stay on short notice. No issues, and lots of space for a family. Games/toys were a nice added touch.
Great location and neighborhood, super nice facilities, rooms, decor, only issue was a few of the beds were pretty uncomfortable. But great experience overall!

Spent 3 days/2 nights here with my family and friends. The home was large, clean, and a great space to accommodate all of us. The home was exactly as pictured and had everything we needed for our stay. The House is in great condition, with an open communal area of the kitchen, and living & dining room for all of us to congregate in. Large driveway to accommodate all our cars.

Great Summer House!!
Great location for water sports and shopping! And the photos do not lie!! Fully stocked, clean, and roomy!! Had a little trouble with internet, but local contact was ready and available to see to it. The kids loved the back room to play games and the adults thoroughly enjoyed the comfort of the great room. We couldn't use the built in outdoor grill, as it required our own wood - wood fires are discouraged... but we managed with the tiny portable grill. Towels are plentiful as are linens for beds. Loved the supplied toiletries, too - something we didn't expect!! We will definitely return!!

Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy
Disliked: Cleanliness, communication
This cabin was beautiful and fit our needs, however, as we stayed in the summer, it had a noticeable mouse problem. There were rodent droppings in the bedrooms and the linens had clearly not been changed, as there were crumbs and rodent droppings in the sheets and on the bed frame of one of the upstairs beds. We requested help from the host, and they offered to move us to a new cabin. We waited for hours for the host to update us with check-in instructions, which never came. We had to call emergency maintenance after hours to get our check-in instructions for the new cabin, and move after dark. The second cabin was much smaller and not as nice, but for the same price, and the second cabin also had mouse droppings in every single corner. In the end we did stay at the cabin, and it had great potential but is not well managed. In raising my concerns about cleanliness of linens and the second cabin as well as the total lack of communication by the host, we were told "we do our best to proactively manage wildlife" and given less than a night of refund. I do not recommend Tahoe Rental Company.

We take these matters very seriously and are proactively working to ensure the cabin remains pest-free.
In addition, we’re reviewing our cleaning procedures in detail. We understand how important cleanliness is to our guests and are working closely with our housekeeping team to make sure all linens are thoroughly cleaned and the cabin is in excellent condition prior to each arrival.
We also recognize the importance of timely communication and truly value our guests. Our goal is to provide the best possible experience for everyone who stays with us.
Warm regards,

Comfortable for Multigenerational Family
Great house for time with extended family, ages 6 through 79! Lots of open spaces, a well-appointed kitchen, comfy beds, and nice amenities. Also in a fabulous “old Tahoe” neighborhood just steps from hiking and biking trails. Would definitely stay again!
Absolutely loved this place. The location was perfect and a quick easy ride uber/tart/drive to Gar Woods and the beach! It is very spacious and comes with everything you may need. Would definitely stay here again.

Great Chalet
Loved the place it was neat, and equipped with all necessary. Had great time with family we enjoyed it. Would recommend stay here.
I’m happy with my decision to pick this property. It was clean, fully equipped with kitchen stuff and children stuff, roomy but also cozy. The only problem we have is the heating system because we were didn’t really know how to adjust it or if it is adjustable at all, but it doesn’t really bother us much. Will come back next year!
Had a blast with my friends, this was the last stop on our 2 week long road trip and we couldn't have asked for a better end to it. The cabin was amazing and so was its location. Definitely would rent again!
We had a great time! Lots of space and kitchen was well supplied with everything we needed. There was no air conditioning and it was hot while we were there. It did cool off nicely at night.

Large house perfect for big groups with all the basics. Located in a very quiet neighborhood with access to trails. Could use a deep cleaning and some updating.

Tahoe cabin stay
Overall it is a great fit for our needs, just a few issues this year that weren’t an issue previous years. The dryer wasn’t working properly and the tv remote was missing. The fold up couch bed was folded up with dirty sheets and a towel accidentally but everything else was clean and tidy. The downstairs toilet runs so a jiggle of the handle was necessary to get it to stop. Overall we enjoyed our time there, just a couple of little things need to be addressed before the next guests arrive. Thank you!

Response from VrboOwner on 21 Mar 2020
We are sorry to see there were some drawbacks to this guest's visit this year. The dryer is currently out of commission, and the TV still works without the remote. The toilet has been fixed, and we have followed-up with housekeeping about the fold out bed. We apologize for any inconveniences this guest experienced. Thank you!
