This property is at a trailhead. Hiking was great. A pleasant surprise was the toy/game closet. There were twin 4 year olds that really enjoyed the toys. We set up croquet on the side yard. This is a great family home.

A well-appointed gem in tranquil Tahoe

We had a wonderful stay for a recent hockey tournament. This property ticked all the boxes, a quick drive to Tahoe amenities and stores but the hiking trail and green space made for a very peaceful stay. Everything we could have possibly needed was waiting for our convenience including serving bowls, cookie cutters, fans and all of the comforts of home. We would definitely choose this property again.

Great family vacation home

Great location. Off the main roads and hiking trails right outside the door. Great layout for a large group and well stocked. Takes 7 minutes to get to the strip so everything is close by. Would definitely recommend this house for a large gathering.

The location and convinience was perfect, the home and all its space was more than enough for 5 girls. We had so much space to not feel crammed and come together for a game of pool, movie night and dinner.
