Great location and fit our family perfect!

Property and appliances are older but did not distract from enjoying our stay. The property is a great location for getting to local ski resorts. Enjoyed the privacy of the hot tub and the spaciousness of the house. Also a quiet neighborhood. They also allowed us an early checkin which was much appreciated. Check in and check our required extra time to physically go off site to receive and drop off keys. Would be helpful to have touch less/keyless check in/check out. Overall great experience for our family of 5!

Communication with the property manager was great. The refrigerator didn't seem to be cold, sent a message to the manager, left for a few hours & our food was cold when we returned. The house was awesome and had pretty much everything we needed. Bring oil & other spices if you plan on cooking. The BBQ grill was the cleanest grill I've ever used when staying at a vacation rental home.The hot tub was definitely the highlight of the house, wonderful treat to come home to after a nice long hike.

Could be better

Overall was a nice house. Wouldnt normally complain but with how expensive it was shouldnt have had these issues. Showed up to house and was able to get it, but had no instructions on how to access garage to park our whole group. Took the company 3-4 hours to get us access to it, which left cars in a tow zone until then. Also hot tub code provided was wrong. Got lucky and was able to figure out combo myself but company was no help with that. Not that it mattered hot tub barley works. Feels like a luke warm bath doesnt even get warm at all. For a place that is almost 1k for 2 nights, shouldnt have any issues like that. Other than that was a nice place.

Location and House

Location is not too far from casinos, restaurants and outdoor activities. House is dated. A full flight of stairs to enter. A challenge for seniors.

Retro vibe

The place was for the most part clean and roomy enough for 8 of us. However when they say retro they mean it. Very old appliances, old couches, old coffee and kitchen tables which those should be updated. The headboards in the beds were dusty. The place smells very old and musty. The entire front and backyard was full of pollen. They should have cleaned all that up before we arrived it’s everywhere. Hot tub was best part of this place. But it was all we could find during the celebrity golf tournament weekend.

Family ski get away

Fantastic! We were upgraded to an incredible home…over the top! I brought my daughter, two of her adult children and their significant others to Lake Tahoe for three days of skiing/snowboarding…. Amazing home, with hot tub, game room, pool table, poker table…

Very nice for our Thanksgiving getaway

We had a very nice time at this home. It has absolutely everything you need for a wonderful stay. The kitchen is very well stocked with everything you need to prepare your own meals. The spa outside was very clean and the yard was large and fenced. We enjoyed the miles of trail walking behind the house. There is a large library of books and games and cable tv that has all of the channels including premium stations. There was plenty of space in the garage and in the driveway for our cars. Lake Tahoe Accommodations rental agency was easy to work with and very nice. They even provided a lovely canvas bag with a bottle of wine, candies and an assortment of coffees and tea. We had a great time and would highly recommend this home for your S. Lake Tahoe vacation.
