The property was absolutely filthy! Cleanliness should be a must considering the COVID situation. The countertops were dirty. The stove top and knobs were greasy! The fridge was dirty and had left over food from the previous guests. We literally had to clean out the fridge, stove top and countertops ourselves. The floor was also dirty with sticky stuff. The walls were also filthy! There was garbage left out on the porch. Crayons, garbage and a year worth of dust could be seen under the couches and beds. Not no mention, Christmas decor in the middle of August! Very tacky! Towels and sheets were left in the drier. Washer does not work! We left the house cleaner than we found it. A cleaning fee should not be required if guests are going to walk into a filthy house! Very disappointed! Would not recommend or stay at this property ever again!

Hi Maria, thank you for your review. This homeowner has asked us to pass along the following response: "We are at a loss in understanding this review as we would never leave unaddressed any problem our guests honestly encountered. Had it been communicated to us in the slightest by a guest in residence that someone screwed up this badly, creating this sort of dissatisfaction we would have certainly not only refunded the cleaning costs but would have had the house recleaned and re-sanitized to the guest’s satisfaction. A full refund would not have been out of the question. But we can assure you that our housekeeper did a thorough cleaning of the property before the stay and that they would never have left a dirty stove, countertops, or leftovers in a dirty refrigerator. We also followed up to make sure there was no chance that the cleaners missed garbage on the porch, or dust bunnies under the bed, and double-checked that the washer works properly (it does) and the walls are pristine white as pictured."

Nice & cozy home close to the lake
Nice place to explore Lake Tahoe area.
House has everything we needed. Even a mixer and Nespresso coffee maker.
It's close to lake and hiking trails. Only thing we didn't like this much was all the traffic noise you have even during nights. (But if you're out all day you'll have a good night sleep...)

Spacious and close to everything
Plenty of space and we had a great time on our family weekend. The service was great from Seamus (the property manager) when we had a small issue and had an overall pleasant experience.

Great cabin in the woods!
We had a wonderful visit! There are two large master suites with restrooms, a twin bed in a cubby upstairs, pull out couch and lots of living space downstairs. This cabin is great for a group! It’s location is close to heavenly village, the marina, and anything you’d need. It is well stocked with pots, pans, and dish ware. We had everything we needed for a great weekend!

Internet Impresssion good, Reality bad
The full house needs to be cleaned. Inside of kitchen furniture and drawers dirty, toilet windows couldn't be opened, kitchen needs a better equipment (water heater, teapot, saltshaker, more dishes, ....). Owner friendly.

Response from VrboOwner on 1 Apr 2020
Wolfgang, we really appreciate your feedback. We've shared your comments with both the homeowner and the cleaner for further consideration. They have assured us that, while the cleaning was rushed to accommodate your last-minute request for a very early check-in, the home was thoroughly cleaned and inspected by the homeowner prior to your arrival. The homeowner was taken aback by your negative remarks; he was under the impression you were pleased since you had asked him if all the chalets in Tahoe were as beautiful and, furthermore, he felt he had made clear to you that every effort would be made to make your stay enjoyable especially if you had conveyed any displeasure which you did not do while in residence. He was equally perplexed by your functional complaints as the high-quality kitchen comes fully equipped for a full service for 8 guests. And, while the bathroom has a fixed window, there are ventilation fans in place to compensate per code.
Thank you again. Best, the Evolve Team

Great home and location
This was a great location for us. We were looking to go to the lake as well as be near town- everything was between a 5-10 minute drive depending on traffic which was great. The home itself was nice and we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The owner was quick to respond with my inquiries and was very accommodating to our arrival/departure times.

Elegant and Cozy
Our family of six fit here comfortably. The house has a nice stereo system and we had everything we needed to cook full meals every night. The only problem I had was the toilet didn't work in the upstairs bathroom. I'm sure the owner would have addressed this right away, if I had told them. I preferred to use the downstairs bathroom anyway for privacy. The gentleman that greeted us was very nice and even let us check in a little early. It was very clean and nicely decorated. Overall we enjoyed our trip very much. This is a great Little Lodge.

Fantastic house
Very close to the skiing and a lovely house. Very comfortable and well equipped , I was very impressed with the service too, all in all it was a great stay and I look forward to staying there again.
I loved the decor and the general layout of the house, very relaxing place to ski from and recover from the muscle aches in. Thanks!

Skiing trip
All was excellent. Except the bathroom. We wolud like more privacy in the bathrooms. We were the whole family so it was a little uncomfortable. It is just as described. Elegant. We really enjoy the house. All the comforts of home. I'd recommend this house

Romantic Hide Away
Beautiful cabin, very elegant has all the necessities and a lot more. Enjoyed the two rooms with fire place. The best part of the room was the claw tub in the room. I had a rose petal bubble bath with champagne waiting for fiancé it was perfect. The owner was very helpful with the other fireplace that we couldn't get started and sent someone over to look at it. It was just the two of us so we had the cabin to ourselves. The only thing was the parking you have to reverse or back into the drive way the street is Pioneer Trail and is very busy. Can't wait to come back and rent again! :)

Simple elegance in the woods
This is an elegant little lodge, nestled in the woods but very close to a wide array of restaurants and activities, and of course the lake. The house was clean and well-equipped, and was decorated nicely. The owner of the house was very helpful and responsive.
The house is located on a busy street and we could often hear traffic going by, but that did not bother us much (we were not there much during the day) and it never kept us awake.
Overall I would highly recommend this property.

Great vacation getaway
Nice place! All the comforts of home in a great location - close to the lake, Heavenly and casinos. Never had to drive more than a few minutes to get where we wanted to go. Home was nicely decorated and well worth the price. Owner was quick to welcome us too. Will definitely stay there again.

Fantastic Family vacation
Perfect location to enjoy a week in Tahoe and still get peace and quiet. Lovely, well furnished home was perfect for our family of 4. Owners were fantastic and the home was immaculate. Will definitely return.
