The apartment size and the location were great! We were frustrated by the lack of supplies and lack of instructions about the tv (after several attempts to reach property management). We were unable to use the hot tub and swimming pool which were closed.
Great price. Location is ideal for skiing Palisades. Only one parking place for a 3br. Comfortable beds. Very clean property except for a handful of dirty glassware and dishes. Nice hidden view of the Lake
This rental was big enough for all five of us, and cozy. It has all the amenities. It was also close to the marina. The check in/ out instructions were very clear too. It was a perfect rental for the weekend.
The location was terrific, very near a nice small public beach and convenient to many hiking and lake destinations. The unit was roomy, clean and comfortable. Our only issue was with the beds in the 2nd and 3rd bedrooms. Of those four single beds, only one had a topper. The other three were VERY hard.

We had a good time at the condo AND we were lucky to get the place with such short notice! There were a few things wrong with the unit, but I was assured they would be addressed soon. The 'shared' hot tub was pretty small.

We were very satisfied with the was the perfect spot in a great location. The unit was on the ground level which suited us. It was clean and neat. The master bathroom had a tight shower that a large person may not fit into... it was not a problem for us but could be. Appliances are old but work. I would have preferred the cooking utensils placed in a lined draw rather than just thrown into an old wooden draw, it made cooking unappealing. Mostly the beds need upgrading and it would be a much better unit that I would return to.

We enjoyed our stay at the St Francis #6 condo. The condo was very clean, and the kitchen was well stocked with plates, utinsels and cooking items. The location was great for our stay in Tahoe City. Not a lot of traffic, and close the lake. We enjoyed sitting on the private dock to view the sunset, the stars and to admire the surroundings. We enjoyed swimming in the lake with the convenience of being close to the condo. The pool was nice with lots of chairs around for those wanting to watch. We enjoyed the deck at the condo as well.

The unit was great! It reminded us of our grandparents houses - outdated styling maybe, but it was very comfortable and everything was clean and in good repair. The fridge and dishwasher are newer, and the stove/oven was good enough - more than enough for a reasonably priced getaway, in our opinion. We'd stay here again if we were going to visit this location again.

The place looked like it was straight out of the 80s. Not that thats a bad thing! Very comfortable and had everything we needed and more! My only request is that the cleaners should vacuum under the bed. Needs a good spring clean. Oh, pleas fix the hot tub
The reviews are correct - the condo is outdated but so very clean and great location for the lake and walking trails. We really enjoyed the stay and great layout for a family getaway! Thank you!

Aside from not having the pool gate key available until our second day (very frustrating since we wanted to get in the pool when we arrived) the stay was great!
We were in the area for a wedding and were there two nights Our condo was fairly well equipped, although we didn't cook there. The unit is a bit outdated and dark, but it met our needs.

I certainly enjoyed the scenary and how pleasantly clean the environment was. I loved the coziness and the overall quality of each individual room. The only issue that I found annoying was the massive amount of pests that were present. Overall, it was astonishingly good.
Highly recommend this spot - as others have pointed out, decor is outdated and beds are a little less comfortable than could be hoped, but the apartment is very large and well-equipped (kitchen had an abundance of utensils and spices, there were towels for pool, etc). The location is fantastic, with super easy access to the lake and a pleasant 30 min walk into Tahoe City. Also close to the Tahoe bus system which is free and helps avoid the need to park. We enjoyed sitting on the porch and at the large dining table for games. The amenities in the complex were also excellent.
We changed plans last minute to get further away from smoke due to fires near Yosemite and ended up in Tahoe. Property managers were very responsive. The condo is spacious, clean and the complex is on the lake. It hasn't been updated since the 70's but it was in a good location, comfortable and affordable.
