Family Summer Vacation in Tahoe City
Our family had a very nice time. The cabin was very nice and clean. And it is located in a secluded area with the beautiful surrounding with lots of trees and water. And all the Tahoe getaway staff have been very kind and supportive. Overall it's been very fun doing some activities like tree top adventure, picnic at the beach, shopping 🛍️ and etc.etc. We will definitely be back! Thank you ❤️😊

great cabin but a few things ned attending to
Hello- We love staying at Ward Creek but we were enormously frustrated with the tv situation. Remotes did not work, took so many trial and errors each night to try and figure it out. Each solution each night was different. Had to plug and unplug multiple times...I hope someone can attend to this. Also, we wanted to make a fire, bought wood only to find out that it wasn't clear if the fleu was open. No instructions left of fireplace as instruction book said there was. Called the office and the person we spoke to could not help. Again, hope someone can make a simple clarification on open vs. closed fleu. Other than critters in the roof above the bedroom facing the street, it was a peaceful stay! We really love staying here and hope these concerns are addressed so we can continue to enjoy the charming cabin in the future.

Favorite Tahoe Cabin
This is my second time staying here and I love this place. It's got the best living room to unwind in after skiing all day. The wood-burning fireplace and cozy atmosphere are exceedingly rare to find in the Tahoe area now. The kitchen is well-equipped to prepare family-style meals and has enough room around the kitchen table for everyone to comfortably eat. The master bedroom can be a bit warm, but I love this place and would recommend staying here to anyone who will listen. 10/10
