Challies Chalet Pool table, sauna, game room!

Very nice house in a nice location

Nice stay at the Challies Chalet. Property was nice and close enough (drive) to the local private beach (passes are supplied). We have Family that have a place on Pine which is why we chose to stay here. The property is located at the top of a steep hill that would be difficult to walk up, not a big deal for us but worth noting. Property was well equipped, had plenty of room, was clean and had everything you need for a nice stay. The only issues we had, which unfortunately is what you remember, were with the neighbors. Nothing too big, but on the first night we received a noise complaint from the Rental Company that we were partying at 2am, it definitely was not us as we were a smaller group of families with young kids and were all asleep by 10pm. Could have been a mistake, but there were only 2 other properties located by us. Secondly we moved a car out off the end of the driveway to let another car leave, parking across the street. The adjacent neighbor immediately came to tell us only locals are allowed to park on the street. I get it there are rules, but we are talking minutes. The same neighbor also had 2 trucks and 2 bobcats parked on the street. I am not certain, but pretty sure this is the same neighbor who made the noise complaint. Seems like they just don't like short term renters in their neighborhood.

Beautiful location and extremely well appointed home. We could not have asked for more.

We had an amazing time spending quality time with my family. The house it self was very cute, nice and clean. Lots of games and books available to play and enjoy. We would definitely recommend.

Perfect house for a two family ski trip. Lots of fun and things for the kids to do

The arrival to the property started off with an ambush from the neighbor across the street. In order to back into the driveway of the rental property we had to drive up on a snow embankment across the street that was at the entrance to an access point of a conservancy lot that the neighbor uses for vehicle storage. He screamed at us and threw stuff at our car, and exclaimed that we were on private property. After further investigation, it turns out were not on private property, we were still within the constraints of the road, but because lines are invisible in the snow, it was an assumption on his part. It was an extremely unnerving experience and we were on egg shells with him our entire stay. In addition to this the refrigerator was broken, it appeared that it hadn't been functional in a while. The rental company had a mini fridge there upon arrival, but that was not enough, so we had to contact them and ask for more, so they ended up bringing 2 additional mini fridges. I would expect for a property that commands this type of money there would be a contingency plan to repair or replace broken appliances prior to guest arrival. Aside from those two overwhelmingly negative situations the house itself was pleasant. The sauna and game room were definitely enjoyable and the beds were comfortable. But for us, it's not worth dealing with that neighbor to return to the property ever again, life is too short to stress over narrow minded bullies; especially if you have to pay for it

We had a wonderful time staying at this property from Jan 1-4th. The house is in a relatively convenient location for skiing in Palisades. The roads were plowed promptly during during a storm that came through, so we never had any issues getting to the house or leaving from it. The kitchen was well appointed, making it easy to home cook meals for our group. We enjoyed hanging out around the upstairs dining table and down in the game room. One small note (not a problem, but may be relevant to some groups) - the bedroom with the queen bed has the door to access the garage in it. So, we were frequently walking through that room.

We had a magical white Christmas. The beds were comfortable, the place was clean and there was room to spread out and enjoy our presents.

Loved everything about the cabin especially the game room had lots of fun with the family.

We really enjoyed our stay in this home. It is lovely, and sits in a nice neighborhood close to the Lake. The location was a few minutes from the restaurants and shops of Tahoe City, but very quiet. We were surprised by the bear wires, given that we had never traveled to the area before, but got used to them quickly. I would happily recommend this home to others.

Beautiful home in very quiet neighborhood. Located quite high up the side of a mountain area. Home had all the amenities we could possibly want however, the TV Wi-Fi was a bit spotty. Property management was very very helpful. I thank them for their hospitality. We would definitely stay in this home again of course it’s in one of the most beautiful places in the world, Lake Tahoe.

Great cabin with lots of fun options. Really enjoyed our time there.

My friends and I enjoyed our stay in this home. Our only complaint is not being provided with the small things like soap, shampoo, kleenex. Otherwise, it was great.

We enjoyed our stay very much. The property is beautiful, well decorated and clean. We had an issue and the property manager responded very quickly. Our 2 year old twin granddaughters enjoyed their bunk beds and play room.
