A great place to stay

The house was well appointed, very comfortable, and in a location with lovely forest views. Conveniently located, yet serene and secluded. Everyone in our party said it's the best Tahoe ski vacation rental we've ever done.

We had a great stay. The host and property manager were very nice and helpful. If we had any questions or needed anything they were readily available. Very clean rooms and fully equipped kitchen. The accommodations exceded all our needs. Location was quiet and a beautiful forest view right outside the back deck. Very happy we found this property. Our kids wanted to stay longer. Will plan on coming back.

Wonderful home! Well appointed inside and out. Inside was large airy and cozy. The kitchen well equipped with everything. Beds were super comfortable and well appointed. Outside had multiple seating and hanging out areas all around the house. Hot tub, grill and more. Location was perfectly close to lake but just back enough for quiet and privacy. Leslie was a wonderful host - very personable and communicative. Will definitely want to return!

We had a nice time staying at Leslie’s cabin. The backyard was great for my 2 year old. We were out of TP on the first day and the property manager came over promptly to restock.

Lovely mountain home

This mountain home is beautiful. Location is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts. It is within walking distance to restaurants, hiking/biking tails, parks (for kids) and the beach. Kitchen is well stocked. Comfortably slept our party of 8. Thank you for hosting us! We look forward to staying here again.

Very good stay. Would have given 5 stars but the promo for the house said it had air conditioning, it doesn't. However, the house is very well appointed and comfortable. Great hot tub. Perfect way to end the day. The location is ideal as it is at the end of the road so you are surrounded by glorious forest. There is great hiking close by and of course the lake is beautiful.

Sorry our description was misleading. We did have a portable air conditioning unit at the time. We have installed a heat pump with Air conditioning since your stay.

Wonderful Stay For The Family

We had such a great stay over the Labor Day weekend at Leslie and Tim’s place. It is a beautiful house in a quiet neighborhood located right next to the forest. It is well equipped for adults and teenagers. We hiked, played ping pong, went in the hot tub, and just enjoyed some great family time together. Highly recommended by a family that loves to travel and has stayed in many rentals over the years. One suggestion that we thought of to improve the experience even more would be getting more bicycles (we only saw 1 next to the garage). That way families can go biking together during their visit. Thanks again for sharing your beautiful home with us Leslie and Tim!
