Loved this house for a family ski trip. Fit two families perfectly and the layout was perfect. Amazing snowy views, vaulted ceiling, and fire places. Laundry room had a perfect mud room entrance for ski gear.

Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re so glad to hear the house was perfect for your family ski trip and that the layout worked well for both families. It’s great to know you enjoyed the snowy views, vaulted ceilings, and the cozy fireplaces. We're also happy the laundry room and mudroom made it easy to store your ski gear. We'd love to welcome you back for another fantastic stay anytime!
We had a lovely stay at the cabin. The communication from the mgmt company was seemless and the check in was easy. The cabin was in good condition and fully stocked with what we needed to make our stay enjoyable. We would stay there again.
Very nice house with a great location. Took about 30 minutes to drive to Lake Tahoe. The property manager was very responsive. The only thing we missed in the listing was that the house does not have AC. They did bring us an extra fan which was very nice.

Thank you for your feedback and for choosing our property for your stay near Lake Tahoe. We apologize for the oversight regarding the lack of AC in the listing, but we are glad our team was able to provide you with an extra fan to help make your stay more comfortable. We appreciate your understanding and hope to welcome you back in the future!
The property itself was adequate, but the poor communication with the host greatly detracted from our experience. Their phone would ring indefinitely

Regardless, we have made sure to pass along this feedback to enhance communication.

Nice house but needs TLC
Skislope Sanctuary was a nice house, great location with plenty of space but truly needs some attention. Kitchen cabinets were in bad shape and the kitchen was lacking in basic supplies. There weren't any sponges for cleaning and missing a wine opener. Other parts of the house was the same The doors were very difficult to lock. Some TLC would go a long way to make this a great house. The listing didn't show an outdoor grill, the Grand Welcome office didn't have their information correct either but there was an outdoor grill. Overall, it was a good stay but we wouldn't consider this house again unless they fix it up and included more kitchen supplies.
