Best home I've ever stayed at!

Amazing home, especially with the latest snowfall. What a gorgeous view to wake up to every morning! We had the best getaway with our family. When we arrived, the home was nice and cozy. Everything we needed was there, the beds were extremely comfortable, walk in showers, hot tub, huge kitchen and very spacious. Duggan was quick to respond if we needed anything and his neighbor Mike was very helpful as well. Due to the weather, we ended up being snowed in but made the most of it and played in the backyard all day and really enjoyed our time with family. Highly recommend staying here as we cannot wait to come again!

Awesome Tahoe Family Vacation Home

Overall a great cabin for families. Property is very clean and modern, great location and even had a small sledding hill in the backyard the kids loved! The only downside is that the bedrooms are all downstairs and living room/kitchen are upstairs with floor tiles that don’t minimize noise. So literally every footstep or chair moving echoes in the bedrooms. Not an issue if kids are heavy sleepers or everyone is mindful upstairs of the noise. That being said, would still recommend to others and would definitely stay again.

Great spot in a great location!

A group of friends and I stayed in Duggan's beautiful, newly remodeled home at the end of January and absolutely loved it. We've all been to Tahoe several times and agreed that it was probably the nicest space we'd ever stayed at. It's very close to Heavenly and there are also several trails nearby for hiking. Duggan was very responsive both before and during our stay and we were quite pleased to be welcomed with a gift basket w/ wine & snacks! My only recommendation is to perhaps include hooks outside by the (new) hot tub so we have a place to hang up our towels :) Other than that one incredibly minor thing, everything was perfect. I highly recommend staying here and will most likely be back!

Response from VrboOwner on 29 Mar 2020

Glad you had a great time. Thanks for the suggestion, dont know how I missed that. I just installed a bunch of hooks by the hot tub.

Nice Home & Great Location!

The home is nice, and is in a great location! It's located in a nice quiet woodsy neighborhood just off of the main highway, but is only minutes away from all of the activities we did. It only took 10 minutes for us to drive to the Echo Lake trailhead for a hike to Lake Aloha, 5 min. drive to town and to the El Dorado Beach, and was a $13 cab ride to the casinos. The house itself is open and spacious with a nice master bedroom - there was plenty of space for our party which was 8 adults, and the house is stocked with everything we needed. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because there were a couple of things not working for us when we were there, but it didn't inhibit our fun, and the owner is fixing the issues. Communication with the owner is very good. Overall, I would recommend this house.

Thanks for the nice review and thanks for brining the maintenance issues to our attention. We do rely on our guests to inform us when there is a problem. Some things are just hard to know unless you are actually living in the house. We will always remedy anything bought to our attention right away (or immediately after your stay if youd rather not be disturbed).

The house is spacious and the layout works well, however, it definitely needs to be maintained.

The house was clean, but there were dents in the walls, scrapes/scuffs on the walls, the handle to the outdoor deck was broken off and several of the windows would not open. That proved to be a bit of an issue due to the fact that the weather was very warm. There were also several screens that we're off track and one was missing in a bedroom, so the bugs we're able to come into the house. We were able to use the yard as there were fire ant hills all over the back. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms we're great and very well equipped. The location was peaceful, quiet and convenient. With a little more care, I think it could be a top notch property.

Response from VrboOwner on 29 Mar 2020

Thanks for staying with us. I have a whole new patio door on order. I was unable to find a replacement handle alone. It will be installed as soon as it arrives. I was unaware of issues with windows and screens and ants. Thanks for bringing them to my attention, I will get them looked at right away. As always if anyone has an issue during a stay we are happy to come out and take care of it.

We kept a relatively small amount of this guests deposit for damage to the property, excessive cleaning required post stay and for bringing a pet against our policy.

About the host

Hosted by Duggan Smith

I came to Tahoe on vacation from Australia in 1998 and was immediately smitten. In fact I moved here permanently in 2003 and have been loving it ever since. I am lucky enough to teach snowboarding at Heavenly each winter and work in construction during the summer. My wife Angela and I feel very lucky to be able to raise our two kids in this amazing outdoor playground.

Why they chose this property

We fell into the vacation rental business in 2010 after buying a house together with my mum, so Granny would have a place to stay when visiting our kids. Its been a great combination of my passions for real estate, construction and customer service. We loved this house for its amazing location with immediate access to endless forrest, great views, the huge living area and massive bedrooms
