A beautiful relaxing home I really enjoyed the peace and quiet, and just looking at all the pine trees with the sunlight filtering through. It was everything I could’ve asked for a stress free vacation.
Really comfortable stay with some many wonderful details. Great quite neighbor hood that was a short 5 minute walk to the lake. Need to sharpen kitchen knives and maybe provide a small electric blower to clean the back patio every once in a while. Loved the house and would look forward to returning soon.
We had the most wonderful time at dancing cubs. It was beautiful, cozy, and just a short walk from the most amazing views. It was well stocked with cooking supplies, utensils, and anything you could need. My partner has been jaded by rental properties that do the bare minimum to rent but said “this property has restored my faith in rental properties”. It felt like we were renting a well loved cabin and that the rental wanted to display that love. 10/10 would stay again. Also recommend the Tahoe house sandwiches just up the road!
The cabin was quite nice; however, I was disappointed that the pictures of the patio/yard were not as there appeared. We had our pups with us and were looking forward to enjoying grilling for a alfresco dinner while the pups played in the yard. Unfortunately, there was no fence and the grill land all patio furniture were stored away. Making it impossible for two older women to drag out and enjoy. Not to mention that the pups could not enjoy any free time in the yard while we were suppose to be enjoying grilling and eating on the paito.

Thanks for the feedback. While we understand your disappointment, it is clearly stated in our listing that BBQ and patio furniture are not available from 10/15-5/15. They must be stored for the winter snow season to prevent damage. We already had our first snow before your arrival.
