Well located, very nice ambience, nice and attendant owner. Property has some minor maintenance issues.
I have used VRBO many times and this was the first time I was met by the owner. I prefer a lockbox on the door and a key code to gain access.
Majestically built, comfortable log home.
We loved the house and location. Instructions easy to follow.
We had an amazing time in Lake Tahoe and truly enjoyed our stay at David’s place. We will stay there again if it’s available next time we are in Tahoe. Great property manager, beautiful house, central location.
We loved David’s house. It’s gorgeously rustic and welcoming. The kitchen was open and well equipped, and allowed multiple cooks to prepare food simultaneously while socializing with others nearby. There was ample space for everyone to spread out as well in the privacy of bedrooms/loft. A huge plus also is that the house is located really close to a network for park trails, so parts of our party enjoyed hikes with amazing views of the lake. To top it all, David was very hospitable. When he learned that we were coffee lovers, he brought a grinder, beans and french press for us to use. He also shoveled the driveway early in the morning when it snowed and even shared his boot warmer with us after our skiing/snowboarding. We are looking forward to returning and staying again in the future!
The home and David (builder/owner) were both amazing! Once we figured out that the downstairs bedroom in floor plan on listing was actually the office that was identified elsewhere as not part of rental we were able to comfortably fit myself and wife in master and baby in adjacent room with crib (owner had pack & play, toys, bath toys and indoor toddler slide for kids). Master has amazing bath with large tub and large glass shower with steam feature. Nanny in downstairs BR w/ensuite and 17 year old and 12 year old comfortable in amazing loft over kitchen/great room with built ins. Internet everywhere in Tahoe Vista is slow. We will be back to water plants... Thank you Dave for great restaurant suggestions as well. :)
The house is a comfortable place to spend our winter vacation in Lake Tahoe. It is clean and convenient to shopping and ski area. I believe that the view would be even better in summer. We still have some lake view on some clear winter days. The owner is very helpful. We couldn't survive the biggest snowstorm of last two decades without his tips and help. overall, it is an great place to come back in the future.
Here are the Pros: it’s a beautifully designed home with incredible woodwork throughout the home. The Master bathroom has a lovely jacuzzi and steam shower. The Kitchen was well supplied and an Outdoor deck was a nice to have. The Washer and dryer were a plus too. We didn’t mind the No shoe rule as it helped to keep the house clean. David is extremely available via text message and seen throughout the property for immediate questions and needs. The Cons: the Owner lives on the property though this is not in the listing. Though it may say this in the rental agreement, this should be mentioned on the listing when filtering for an entire place. The WiFi is acceptable for 1 person if you have video calls or want to stream. There are no curtains to keep out sunrise and house lights that are close by. We were asked to water the owners 5+ plants which we did, but weren’t told would be a responsibility of ours for a vacation rental until arrival. Lastly, the living room was under furnished and not a space to use. Another couch and coffee table (as shown in the picture was not present) would make the room more usable. In the end, we still had a lovely time. Though, the owner is on the property, it did not feel as private as we hoped, especially during COVID-19, and not as much a vacation home including a lot of nuances to maintain the property.
This home is Beautiful, great location with plenty to do in the area. We took David's recommendation on restaurants and hikes and were so happy we did.
