    very nice cabin with a good area being close to King Beach and 7 minutes from Safeway, the only thing is that the facilities like the laundry room you have to go through a room to get to the laundry when it should be outside easily accessible. Also the bathroom downstairs although it is shared with 2 rooms is inside them. The main room was large, spacious and clean. I liked it a lot. What I didn't like was that to get to it we have to go through a room first and sometimes out of shame we had to wait for those in the room to wake up before we could go out, although I'm not complaining that the room has a large and very nice bathroom. The locations were somewhat strange if we talk about the rooms but everything was very nice and accessible with good Internet. We were able to use the TV without problems and they had many things accessible. Really highly recommended. We hope to return

    We just spent a week here and had a great trip. The home is beautiful and worked perfectly for a stay with multiple families. The place was clean, the location was great, and they were so easy to book with. The rental company is so responsive, even when I messaged them with the dumbest of questions. I highly recommend for your next Tahoe trip!

    Overall very pleasant stay and would recommend. We had a great time at the house. It’s quite cozy and served well for our winter friends trip. The TVs are roku so it had all of the streaming platforms and we were able to easily cast shows and music. The house also has bear wires at the front which can be disarmed. We felt very safe. The kitchen was well stocked and the house is located in a nice neighborhood close to a Safeway and other restaurants. The walls are not noise insulated so be prepared to hear your friends laughing downstairs are 2am. My only complaint is that one of the rooms had some trash in it when we arrived including a tamale that one of our dogs quickly found.

    We had the pleasure of staying at this lovely cabin, located close to Watermans Beach in Carnelian Bay. Great location to all our favorite places, hiking, beaches, mini golf, grocery store... The only reason I am giving a four-stars is that we had an issue with the plumbing in the master bathroom on day 2 of our stay, which leaked through the ceiling down to the main floor, not allowing us to use the shower for the duration of the stay. I would also point out that the garbage is small and doesn’t allow for much in the bear cans, so we had to drive our garbage out to the rental agency during their operating hours in Tahoe City. Again great place and location just had a few issues along the way. The rental agency (Jack) was very responsive to our issues and was very helpful.

    It was a very clean house and had a lot of space. The tables were large enough for all of us to play games and have fun.

    Great cabin. However management said we weren't supposed to gather or have a party. Why else would we go? They said we were too noisy. There was another party two doors down going on as well. We have a video of it.
