Vanni House - 2 BR - Hot Tub - Walk to Beach & Downtown Tahoe City

This beautifully restored classic Tahoe vacation home, is the quintessential cabin by the lake, ready and waiting for your arrival. The Vanni house was built in 1925 by Italian immigrants Ettore and Diamanta Vanni. Located right in the heart of Tahoe City, the house is a classic two-story, four room cabin (living room and kitchen downstairs and two guest bedrooms upstairs) within an easy walk to restaurants, shops, and of course the beach!

The living room features a cozy gas fireplace beneath an antique walnut mantle and a flat screen TV. The kitchen is completely remodeled and well equipped and appointed with high grade stainless steel appliances. Tastefully decorated throughout with cozy furniture and luxurious high quality linens, this little home away from home will not disappoint.

Outside, the front porch features oatmeal granite, originally quarried in the area by the Vanni family and inside the fenced-in backyard, the private hot tub is a wonderful place to relax with your fellow guests.

Not what we expected

Let's start with the pro's, I'm all about positivity. The location was amazing. We got to walk to town and the beach every day. The beds in the right bedroom were very comfortable. The backyard was nice. The cons list: we are very afraid of spiders. During our stay we had to kill more than 30 spiders and very large carpenter ants. I understand being in the pine trees and it was summer, but this was overwhelming and stressful. I've never experienced this in all of my years of going to Tahoe. Our daughter was afraid to use the bathroom because over the five days we were there we couldn't go anywhere in the house without seeing very large spiders. We might as well have gone camping. The hot tub would've been great, but there is not a light that works so going in the backyard meant being in the pitch black dark. The refrigerator was leaking water and got all over our food that we bought. We reported this the day we arrived and were told that happens when a fridge is cleaned. We wiped it up and it happened again. We ended up just tossing our food out and reported the leaking and loud noise again. I sent several photos and a video to the Tahoe Getaways email. Tahoe Getaways finally sent someone out to look at it and instead of calling us to ask us about it they told us there was nothing wrong and they cleaned the water again. The fridge woke us up again on night 3 so we called back and said forget it and it can be fixed after our departure. We made the most of our trip, but would never stay here again.

Nice house, but Beware

Vanni House is very nice, with a great location. Nicely equipped with almost everything you need. However, although we knew in advance that the two bedrooms were upstairs and the one bathroom was down on the main level, we did not anticipate that the stairs would be as steep , slippery ( uncarpeted) and difficult to navigate as they were. Luckily the living room sofa opened into a queen size sleeper, but it's not as comfortable as a regular bed and opening it reduced the enjoyment of the living room itself. Bad choice for us.

Great location and home

The only comment would be that a info list be more available. We did find the house info in a kitchen cabinet and WiFi info on the connection box in the cellar entry. BUT THESE ARE MINOR COMPARED WITH OUR OVERALL SATISFACTION. THANK YOU

Vanni House/Tahoe City

We had a great time. This was an old-school cabin - which we could appreciate because we are old. The house is located very close to the main thoroughfare in Tahoe City yet quiet. It was very well stocked with everything one could need and the yard was great for our dog. Note that the stairs could be an issue if you have to get up a lot in the night to use the toilet (bedrooms upstairs, 1 bathroom downstairs). I recommend the owners put some kind of warning tape on the last step as my husband missed it twice. Also, it would be great to have screens on the windows. Note to Tahoe Getaways: a couple more small hotel soaps would have been appreciated.

Fun Get Away Retreat

We had a great time at this property. The location was great and close to everything you need. Lake Tahoe, grocery stores, restaurants and shops were within walking distance. We stayed here for a snowboard trip and were able to walk to the rental store to get our gear. So convenient. This cozy cabin provided us with everything we needed for our snowboard get away.
