Great location walking distance to multiple beaches. Safe and quiet neighborhood with great stargazing! Very cozy fireplace and incredible fenced in yard for 2 yr old and puppy to run around.
Brought my elderly dog for a long weekend, picked location due to nearby beach and bike trail. It is an older cabin as noted with first floor wall heater and space heaters upstairs. Has necessary kitchenware and appliances. But a few things caught my attention that were so inexpensive to improve guest experience, I bought them myself. You’re welcome. There were 6 hangers total for 6-7 guests!
What an awesome stay in this cabin! Great location! Walking distance to the beach. Short drives to tons of activities (shops, restaurants, water sports). The backyard is soooooooo nice. The cabin itself is super charming, clean, and has plenty of room. Cant wait to go back!
This is a charming place to stay while at Lake Tahoe. Location is convenient to restaurants and shopping and very close to the lake. I loved it for a weekend get away and would stay there again.
This was our first Tahoe experience and the stay was everything we hoped for. It’s close to everything, and provided a great experience. We will be back for sure.
We had a great long weekend at the cottage - the location was at the end of a street in a friendly neighborhood. The nearby Skylandia Park is within walking distance and it was a huge highlight.
Wonderful cabin for family stay. We all loved the beautiful quiet backyard especially our pets. Having kitchen, laundry and a 2nd TV room (upstairs) was so convenient.
We enjoyed our 4 day stay. Cabin is charming and somewhat rustic. Positives are a great backyard and porch for our dog, nice big fireplace (it was cold for August), comfy beds, and good layout. Cabin is a bit dated and dark, so could use some TLC. Would be even better with a better assortment of stemware and utensil's, but overall kitchen had all the amenities.
We had a wonderful 5 day stay here with our dog. The neighborhood is quiet with no traffic and paths to the beach. The proximity to Tahoe city was a huge bonus. Our dog loved the yard and we had a great time sitting in the sun on the deck. The house was cozy and had everything we needed. The management company was very responsive and check in was flawless. Overall a great experience in a beautiful location.

We had a great time at this home. We loved the lush, fenced back yard, a beautiful setting to come home to after a day spent hiking or at the beach. We also loved the open floor plan for the kitchen, dining and living area, it made preparing meals and socializing so enjoyable. The mattresses in the twin bedroom were super comfy. We also liked the location to the pet friendly beach at Glen Forest. It is in a quiet neighborhood with nice neighbors!
Everything was great about the stairs, which are a death trap. They are waaayyy too steep. Some of the stairs move and tilt when you step on them. They are wrapped in old carpet, which is uneven. They tried to put a grip strip on top of the carpet and hammered it in with nails. The nails are uncomfortable to walk on. The grip strip pulled my sock half off, which then tripped me, and I fell. My kid refused to walk on them out of fear. So, there was no way that he could sleep in the bedrooms upstairs and then find his way to the toilet downstairs in the middle of the night. So, we had to take a mattress from upstairs and put it down in the living room for him to sleep on. Other than the stairs, the house was fine but I could not recommend this place and would not stay here again.

Overall my experience staying at the Alefs quaint cabin in olde Tahoe charmer was unpleasant and fearful. Arriving to the cabin, the first night walking up the front steps you'll have loose rocks/ gravel which is a huge safety hazard for guest. Walking into the cabin you'll get a sniff of cigarette smoke. Fireplace was non-operable even after being told it was going to be fixed and ready for our stay which was a huge disappointment and poor communication.! Also the cabin had Very lil amenities. Coffee machine was missing basket to pour coffee grains in. The quality of furniture was very worn out!! No central heater upstairs, the small heaters they provided gave no heat till hours after. One of the Rooms had a tiny mirror which made it hard to get ready. Property's location was great. Beach within walking distance. Property was not cleaned, tub had black debris, Shower drainage was also clogged you couldn't shower longer than 5 minutes or else tub would fill up major. On my vacation instead of relaxing I went out of my way and poured Drano gel max but still no fix. property has a nice backyard, but it's was hard to enjoy when there's no patio light. Overall, I think this cabin needs a little bit of loving and caring.
DO NOT BOOK THIS HOUSE!! MOST UNHYGIENIC AND UNPROFESSIONAL HOUSE
Safety - backyard door lock is broken. It doesn’t look from inside. Main bathroom lock is also broken. Stairs are horrible to even walk.
Heater only works in living room but no room has heater vent so its not at all livable situation for winter stays. 3 out of 4 Portable heaters stop working after some time.
We couldn’t sleep at night at all because it was27 degrees Fahrenheit but heaters in the room were not working. We also didn’t feel safe at night since backyard door lock was broken from inside. This is a major major safety concern and should be taken seriously
Towels are extremely dirty. Looks very much used and they are very rough. They are nowhere close to 6 months old. We don’t even feel like using them they are that old and stinky. This is major hygiene concern. How can a host provide unhygienic towels and vrbo allow it? Its beyond disgusting
Bedding is very stinky as well. Pillow cases are extremely dirty and doesn’t look washed at all. Pillows are super old.
Apart from this toiletries are missing. Body wash is missing. Shampoo conditioners are old. Diffuser in toilet, air fresheners are almost over so owner did not even bother to fill it up.
Vrbo support is extremely useless helping with any of these issues. They basically didn’t even bother to raise a case and dismissed.
Please don’t book this house or any house on Vrbo if you need good customer support

Cute, cozy mountain cabin. Enjoyed the back deck having coffee in the a.m. and glass of wine in the evening. Our pups enjoyed the large backyard. Property was easy to find and close to town.Misses; cabin overall could use some T.L.C.The shower did not train properly and could use a good cleaning.Kitchen had ample dinnerware but could use some addition pots and pans baking sheets etc...Dining room table wobbled severely, should probably be repaired. Front entrance steps are crumbling and could use repair.Overall enjoyed our stay.
