Lake Tahoe Getaway

This house was better than expected. Only several minutes from the lake, it was located just minutes from some great coffee shops, markets, and restaurants. Also, it was just a short drive to hiking with some great views and kayaking on Emerald Bay. The house had PLENTY of room and parking and a kitchen with everything you'd need to making meals. The deck in the back of the house is a great spot for hanging out or enjoying some natural forest beauty. Would definitely stay here again.

Good for family or group stay

Loved the open layout of the house and plenty of seating (and TV’s), comfy King bed; cute decor and good kitchen amenities; nice quiet neighborhood and lots of surrounding trees for that forest-y out-of-town feel; appreciated the garage and automatic opener to use while there. Disappointed with the scratchy TP; none of the outlets in any of the three bathrooms worked; warped flooring by back sliding door and screen door wasn’t secured on their rails; foosball table is falling apart so we didn’t use. Be aware that Roku is only option so no local channels. Good communication with property managers. Super easy checkout procedures.

Hillary, thank you for sharing your experience, we're pleased you loved our home's layout and its location served you well! Our local manager assured us they will address the outlets and flooring and we appreciate your feedback. They noted that the foosball table was repaired and is functioning and the screen was addressed. Plans are in the works to get higher quality paper products and we're sorry for any inconvenience. We enjoyed having you as our guest and hope to host you again.

Beautil and spacious home, pictures do not do justice

We had a wonderful stay at this home. It was extremely spacious with more than enough room for 6 people. The kitchen had everything you would need to cook meals for your entire family. The home was spotless and we walked in to some tranquil music left for us upon entering. I can't even put into words how beautiful the view was from the upstairs deck. We spent our early mornings and evenings just enjoying our view. Each bathroom was fully stocked with essentials and loved that the TV's had a roku. I can't wait to come back with my family next year.

Great Views!

The house was perfect for our family of 6. We all slept comfortable and it was spacious enough for all of us. The kitchen had everything we needed. The WiFi was a little slow, but we were out most of the day so it didn’t bother us at all. The property was really close to town , maybe like 10 minutes from all the activities that we did. Late checkout was offered , but we didn’t need it! Overall we had a great stay!

Great place to stay

6 of my buddies and stayed at this lovely place for few days. The place was spacious and clean with enough real beds for everyone to sleep in. Also there were plenty of towels and everything need to cook in the kitchen. We did have trouble getting any working channels on TV upstairs in the main kitchen area and by the time someone replied to our complaint, we had already made other plans. Not a big deal but would have been nice to have a TV with working channels. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend to anyone looking for a good place and location to stay in.

Do not stay here if there is any potential bad weather that can cause a power outage

The house lost power during a storm that resulted in an areawide power outage. The house had no power backup, and no source of heat as the house had no lighters to light the gas stove. We eventually borrowed a lighter from the neighbors since the roads were covered in a foot of snow so we could not drive. We had a reservation for 5 nights, and left 1 day early as soon as the roads were drivable since there was no power. We asked for a refund for the 1 night we could not stay and the 2 nights without power, and were refused any refund or compensation. Storms in Tahoe area in winter are fairly common, so strongly recommend you do not stay here in the winter.

Response from VrboOwner on 20 June 2023
We're sorry to read that you were upset by our decision, Mainak. There was a blizzard in the area, and all guests were advised not to travel. Guests that did choose to keep their reservations did so at their own risk. Everyone in the area was without power, including residents, for several days, and it was completely outside of our control. Again, we apologize if you are dissatisfied with the way things were left and hope you will consider coming during better weather. Thank you!

Great house

We stayed over for a week. The house is conveniently located, clean, spacious and comfortable, with tons of board games for the kids. It was beautiful to see all those beautiful trees in the back. Also, the light incline on back of the house provides a fantastic spot for sledding. Would recommend and would come back.

Solid Home in a nice area with some pesky issues

The house is spacious and has everything which is described in the ad. The location is good, the neighborhood is quite and within a 10 minute ride you will be in South Lake Tahoe downtown. The Kitchen has a good fridge, some good pots and also 2 or 3 usable knives. But you should know, that there are absolutely no pantry items provided, not even salt or sugar. There are also no foils or ziplocs or whatever, so you should bring your own. Most annoyingly for us was the absence of kitchen towels. There is Dishwasher detergent for one cleaning per day. The BBQ hasn’t been cleaned in aeons, it was so dirty that I almost threw up. Around the BBQ lay half a dozend dead roaches but I am not complaining about the roaches, I am aware that they are part of our ecosystem, I am complaining about the gross BBQ which of course attracts cockroaches to come into the house. I told vacasa about this problem and they said, that they will send someone to clean the BBQ but no-one came. The cleanliness inside of the house was good though. Some of the beds where squeaky , and the mattress in the MBR was pretty much worn out. From the windows in the house you can watch the wildlife in the woods, which is great.

Gold Dust - Good Place For A Getaway

The property was very nice. The neighbors were nice too. Far enough away so that it's more private, but close enough to activities. We thought that it could have been cleaner (ie white bath rugs. white doors), fresh smelling bedding. We wanted to hike in the forest behind the house which was a top selling point, but we had a visit from a bear and decided not to take a chance. Overall, we would rent it again.

Fantastic property, hope to come back again soon!

This property is an ideal place to stay when visiting South Lake Tahoe. We really hope to come back here again as soon as possible and I can’t recommend it enough! However if I had to be a critic for a few things here and there I would say that there were a few problems with the following: 1. The upstairs toilet did not work properly and was unusable the entire stay. 2. The Wi-Fi would not work even after multiple router reboots. 3. The Cable TV strangely has a very limited number of actual channels available, seemed unusual. 4. Many rental properties provide K-cups for their Keurig coffee machines, would’ve been nice to have a few coffees stocked at the cabin for in the mornings. All in all the cabin is a fantastic place and we look forward to returning! And the Turnkey liaison we dealt with for the toilet issue was very quick to respond and extremely helpful. Thank you! :)

CLEANLINESS, WIFI and CABLE ISSUES

Underside of upstairs toilet seat was dirty from previous guest. Two sets of dirty towels. Some of the kitchen utensils were dirty. Kitchen faucet nozzle was loose. Ice maker was clogged with ice and required clearing. Foosball table was rickety and one corner was broken. The Spectrum cable and WIFI were not functioning upon our arrival. We had to spend half a day of our vacation with the Spectrum tech's who were cable to get the cable working but not the WIFI as the home owner's routers were old and would not connect to the network. The Spectrum tech was nice enough to loan us a router for the weekend so our college student could take their final exam! Nice home, plenty of space, but don't let the pictures fool you--this place needs some work.

Would love to stay here again!

We were so impressed with the property! It was very clean, spacious and comfortable. The location is perfect. It's about 10 minutes to town, and in a very nice neighborhood. There's a network of biking trails all around the neighborhood. We needed a few things during our stay and the house management team was very responsive and helpful. It was really a great experience all the way around. We only wished that we had more time there! we could have used several more days to continue enjoying the stay!
