The house was clean and presented as advertised. The kitchen was very well stocked. The location of the hot tub rendered it useless for our group--on the front porch with no fencing or privacy, which was a bummer.
Our group of 10 enjoyed the spacious house and amenities. The house is located within easy driving distance of stores, shops, restaurants, casinos, etc. in South Lake Tahoe. The host was very responsive to our questions and needs. Thanks for a great stay in Tahoe!
We were looking for a place for our annual Guys Trip and this place was perfect. Had plenty of entertainment upstairs and plenty a room for everyone. It was also easy to get to the mountain and anything around town. Thank you for the great experience.
The house worked out perfectly for the 14 of us and the location and street was wonderful. I would suggest some full length mirrors as there are none downstairs :)
Our family enjoyed the stay, close to Heavenly. There was some stuff we forgot to take, but no worries it had the stuff we needed. Rooms are spacious living area as well the kitchen was a little tight, but other than that we had a great time. The kids saw the landline phone and were in Awe, They said “I thought those only existed in the 1900’s”. Would book again.
The house accommodated our large group.
We really loved the neighborhood. Very beautiful and quite. Since we are not a rowdy bunch, the rules on the contract were easy for us to adhere too.
The only issue we had was the trash that was already placed in the bins when we arrived. We had to place our trash in the garage. Perhaps someone can go by the house during the middle of the week to pick up extra trash bags and dispose of them.
The home was very clean. We loved the location! There was a tv in one bedroom upstairs that wasn’t in working order but we were so busy the whole time we were fine with it. We also had a poor experience with a customer service call. When we arrived we noticed the refrigerator wasn’t very cold. When we spoke with Sean from the intake center he explained that it is normal and that it takes a few hours for it to come up to temp. When he hung up he accidentally called right back and had no idea he was speaker phone complaining to someone about the call I had just made. He was very unprofessional but the manager assured me he would be spoken to about his behavior.Overall I would highly recommend staying here Beautiful, clean home close to so many great beaches, Heavenly village and the casinos.
