Great Property

Great property, very walkable in Tahoma. Property has very comfortable beds, a great bunk room for kids, bbq, nice kitchen, and large flat screen tv’s in every room. Friendly neighbors, no speeding traffic which is great for kids and walks. Had one very minor issue and owner and maintenance staff were on top of it with minimal if any disruption. Highly recommend and would stay here again.

Solid spot

We enjoyed the house very much! The beds are comfortable, and the kitchen is well stocked (pans, etc) for cooking which I always appreciate. Seemed their cleaning service may have rushed before our arrival - but the host gifted us a bottle of wine as an apology. So was all squared away. Would stay again.

Lovely Tahoe home base

We had a great stay at John's home! Great location and neighborhood, comfortable beds and couch, and everything we needed in the kitchen. Would have appreciated working fans to supplement the ceiling fans as the bedrooms got warm. Encourage the project management company to more proactively offer the door code instead of keys, that was perfect for us but we had to go to the office to discover that was an option.

Excellent property, challenge to sleep 10

As our family was a group of teens, kids and adults it was difficult to use the three bedroom layout for ten people. The teenagers ended up crashing on the couch and the bunk room had empty beds. However, the house was lovely, clean, furnished well, and an excellent location.

The description does not lie!

You could not ask for a more family-friendly home that has absolutely everything you need for a vacation in Lake Tahoe. The description was spot on. Beach is further than a 5 minute walk, but delightful. Kitchen had everything you need. Bathrooms and bedrooms were perfect. TV and wifi worked perfectly and so nice to have all that. Checking in at a place that is a driving distance from home is difficult after driving 8-10 hours to get there. It would be so much nicer if the people could be given a door code! But really nothing to complain about. WE would do it again and would HIGHLY recommend this location. Thank you so much for opening your home to us.

Highly recommended!

This property was the perfect choice for my family's stay in the Tahoe area. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! The property is tucked away in an ideal part of the Lake Tahoe area. It's conveniently located about 15 minutes aways from Tahoe City and 30 minutes away from South Lake Tahoe. So getting around was a breeze. The property itself is beautiful! Pictures of the cabin does not do it justice. The house is large, yet excludes a lot of warmth inside. The design was also idea. It has lots of windows so get to enjoy the nature experience, even while inside. The property's architecture is reminiscent of a luxurious cabin lifestyle, but the property also provides all the amenities to fulfill that cabin experience: fireplace, surround sound for your music, and a large hot tub. It was nice to just relax at the hot tub, while looking at the stars. I must say that the best part of the property was the back yard. I loved the wooded back yard. We visited during the winter season, and it was so beautiful to be able to walk around and play with the snow! Overall, 10/10 experience. Highly recommended, and my family and I are already looking forward to possibly staying here again maybe next year.

Great location!

Overall my family and I had a good time at this house the location and the house itself was great for families plenty of space and the way they set it up made it comfortable for everybody John was great at communicating the biggest issue we had is with the leasing office that they worked with the manager Esmeralda was very rude and poor communicating we asked for an early check in she said that that it was possible and to call around 1 o’clock she didn’t answer till 4 o’clock and let us know that our house would it be ready till maybe 430. They don’t let you know until a couple days before check in but you have to go pick up the keys at the leasing office in Tahoe city which was a complete nightmare at 4 o’clock the whole reason why we picked this house is that we could avoid that area they don’t allow early check-in‘s because the leasing office doesn’t want to and then when we finally got to the place it was not properly cleaned it was broken glass on the kitchen floor that one of our family members stepped on & cut their foot and glass in the dishes that someone just left and food all on the table chips crumbs hair on the towels… Kitchen ware was completely outdated . I spoke to the owner and they did give me half of my cleaning fee back which was nice but I feel like the full cleaning deposit should be given back . I love the location of the house but I wouldn’t want to deal with the leasing office again and having to pick up the keys when they have a lockbox for the house cleaners but they don’t trust the guest to check in themselves really weird ?and they have a neighbor that watches the house constantly if we left the garage door open for 20 minutes the owner would call and let us know to shut it bc of bears which was nice but they definitely have a extremely noisy neighbor so if you’re OK with people watching you at all times and dealing with a rude leading office And late check-in to a semi cleaned house this rental will work for you!

Family Getaway for Dad’s Bday

Our stay was for 4 nights. Weather was not as warm as we hoped but that didn’t bother us at all because of the beauty of Lake Tahoe. House is nicely appointed. Great room layout is perfect. At first we were concerned about all the bear warnings/precautions, but figured out it is a normal thing in these parts. Host did an excellent job of protecting the home. We would stay again in a heartbeat!

About the host

Hosted by John Lyons

Host profile image
The owners are Northern California natives and have been spending time in Tahoe all their lives. The house is operated by Wells & Bennett, a professional property management company located close to the house & with excellent attention to detail.

Why they chose this property

There's a saying, "The West Shore is the Best Shore". Tahoma is perfectly situated in some of the least developed shoreline of Tahoe, yet is centrally located. In winter, the house is 5 minutes from Homewood, 20 minutes from Squaw/Alpine, and 45 minutes from Heavenly. You can ski the entire Tahoe area. In summer, there are vast expanses of state park and national forest land, accessible within a short walk from the front door. Hiking and mountain biking options are great, & there are trails not widely known or crowded. There are great beaches in the area - Chambers Landing, Meeks Bay & DL Bliss are close. Tahoe City is under 15 minutes drive. Stateline and the casinos are about 40 minutes away. The West Shore is known for it's "old Tahoe" vibe.

What makes this property unique

Cathedral ceilings and tall slate fireplace plus warm wood detailing just make you feel good from the minute you walk in! Skylights throughout allow you to enjoy sunlight during the day and the stars at night. The large lot allows for privacy in a natural Tahoe setting. It's our happy place and we want all our guests to enjoy it!
