VRBO does not have options for complex booking rules. Here are our house booking rules. We do not allow Saturday check-in or check-out. Midweek bookings require a Friday and Saturday night stay except in the case of 4 days Monday - Thursday.

Winter Weather and Summer Smoke. Both of these things can happen in Tahoe. We are an owner renter here. If you are booking our property we expect you to stay there and not hound us for a refund because traveling became difficult. If you are worried about winter weather (It can easily snow 100" inches in a few days) or summer smoke issues buy travel insurance.

Fantastic, comfortable, spacious, fun home

We had a wonderful stay. There was plenty of room for our 4 families, which surprised us because we had never tried to find a single house for that many people before. But the setup works great: the common areas upstairs afforded plenty of room for all of us to hang out together, although it was rarely tested as the bottom floor had all sorts of space and diversions for the kids, right next to their own bunk room and bathroom. The middle floors were perfect for us four couples and a couple of the littler kids to sleep closer to their parents. The yard was perfect for some serious sledding runs and snowball fights, and the hottub provided well-needed rest after skiing/snowboarding. Everything worked well and was in great condition, and the love and care of Matt and his family was evident throughout. Matt was great with communication and obviously a really nice person. We're all looking forward to booking a trip here again next winter!

Tahoe Family Vacay

The property is beautiful, open and a comfortable space. The host was very responsive and helpful. We BBQ'ed, went on walks and watched the stars from the top deck. My family thoroughly enjoyed their stay and we hope to come back next year. It is one of the only places I have found that was able to accommodate my large family. Spent a day at Donner Lake and the next day on the Truckee River. All very close and easy to get to. Thank you, Matt!

Great Place to stay

We really enjoyed our stay. A beautiful cabin, clean, stocked well and very easy to communicate the Matt. We would definitely rent this place again. It’s a beautiful area and close to the lake, golf and other activities we enjoyed.

Great family getaway

House was perfect for our family of 8 kids, 8 adults. Plenty of space. Game room downstairs was great for kids. My one son has allergies to dust, cats and dogs and he had no issues in this house where we have had issues in other houses we’ve rented. One thing to keep in mind is to crush cans and minimize trash throughout the week as the trash can was full upon arrival (assuming from previous renters) so we had to be careful to not have more trash than the beatbox could hold. Kitchen was well equipped. We cooked several meals for large groups and there was enough space for multiple people to be working at the same time. Lots of games available which were fun. Hot tub was clean and nice during chilly evenings and mornings. Would definitely return to this home and recommend to others.

About the host

Hosted by Matt Veenstra

We are a family of 4 living in the San Francisco Bay Area. Our family loves to retreat to the mountains both for the sun in the summer and the snow in winter.

Why they chose this property

We chose this property for easy access to the Bay Area and it's close proximity to the lodge including the great restaurant, bar and pools. We also love the ability to comfortably have multiple families enjoy the vacation together with the parents having private space and the kids loving their bunk room getaway.

What makes this property unique

The house is great for multi-families or a multi-generational family. The house walks in flat to the street with the wonderful great room for socializing, 4 bedrooms are the level below where all of the beds have memory foam toppers and 500 count linens. The lower level is kid heaven with a great bunk room that has 3 sets of built-in bunk beds with cubbies and USB chargers and ligths in each. There is an attached bath with double sinks. The room next to this has the 60' TV and 8-foot Olhausen slate pool table.

You cannot find a better place to have families gather.
