Location, location, location!
Lakefront Haven has the most breathtaking views of the lake. The home has all the amenities you and your family need during your stay. Watching the sunrise over the mountain ridge and onto the lake is truly a spiritual experience at Lakefront Haven.

Beautiful waterfront home
This is a happy home that is set up for summertime fun. There is nothing quite as good as having a pier on the lake. The home has that old Tahoe feel, not perfectly updated but still very comfortable and clean. We would love to stay here again.

Hi Lauren. Thank you for your thoughtful review. We are pleased to hear you enjoyed your visit! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your valuable feedback with us. We passed your comments along to our local manager to review and we appreciate guests’ preferences as a means to continually improve. We look forward to hosting your next stay!
Location was great, walked across the street for skiing. Enough space for one family. We had lots of snow, so we had to shovel to be able to get out, so that was a workout!
Thank you, HE! We're glad to hear you had a good experience. If there's anything you'd like to share or if you have any feedback, we'd love to hear it!

beautiful lakefront home
Location! We love the quieter side of the lake and the direct lake access. We brought our kayak and used it every morning. There was a dingy and canoe available too. The dock is amazing. The cabin is very well equipped and has everything you need to be comfortable. It was clean and supplied. We also loved the restaurant across the street. Thank you so much for letting us use your beautiful home! We hope to return!
Unfortunately, a bear broke in in the early morning (4 am) of the first day/night that we stayed there, and we had to call the sheriff to run him off. The bear broke in agaiin a couple of hours later, so we had to leave for safety reasons. This is not the owner's fault, of course, but a bear breaking into a cabin twice in the span of several hours made this an uninhabitable winter location for us. Too scary.

Hi Kathryn. Thank you for taking the time to leave this review for us. We are so sorry about your uninvited guest. Please know that our homeowners have since installed a bear defense system to prevent this from happening in the future. We hope that you'll give us another opportunity to host you with an improved experience.
Basically a great stay for my wife and I, our three sons two daughters-in-law, and two small grandchildren were all together for a week celebrating or 40th wedding anniversary at this beautiful lake house. Thank the owners for how well stocked (kitchen, games, SUPs, canoe) that were available. We hope to be back in a few years. Now something's we want to bring up that the owners should know. 1) my wife and our two year old grandson set off two different mouse traps. No one was hurt, but FYI. 2) property needs a deep clean. Example fire place iron screen door is loaded with dust. 3) ongoing construction next door A-frame property to the south. Took away from the peaceful setting in the back on the lake. Noise and workers during the week. Would have been nice to know this ahead of time. May have made a different rental decision so this would not have been an issue.

Thank you for sharing your detailed experience, and congratulations on your 40th anniversary! We’re so glad the lake house worked well for your whole family and that you enjoyed the kitchen, games, and water gear. We really appreciate your honest feedback — we’re sorry to hear about the mouse traps and will address that immediately. The note about the need for a deep clean and the construction noise is also important, and we’ll make sure to improve communication about any nearby work in the future. We hope to welcome you back in a few years for an even better stay!
This is a sweet spot with gorgeous views, both from the dining table and the hot tub. It was cozy for the 7 of us to relax by the gas fire and play board games at the table. The kitchen was well equipped for all our cooking needs. We did experience a few needs over the weekend and the local rep was quick to respond and help out each time. Additionally they were very responsive when we wanted to stay an extra night and changed our minds about a late check out. Very accommodating, thank you!
One down side (which is why this is a 4 star rating) was the lack of heating in three of the 4 rooms. Given we were there during the winter (tons of snow!) it was noticeable that the rooms lacked heating vents. Otherwise, the location to both the lake and Homewood were incredible, the house had all that we needed in terms of comforts, and we really enjoyed our stay. Looking forward to another visit!
