    The host makes you feel like family. He has thought of everything. The kitchen has every pot and pan, spices, and gadget you can think of. You truly feel like it’s your home. If you are looking for a home to rent , do yourself a favor and rent this home.

    This is our favorite place to stay in Tahoe. Check in and out is so easy and the property is so clean and well equipped. A nice outdoor space for kids and dogs.

    This property was really great. We really appreciated the well-stocked kitchen and other items available for guest use like beach towels and chairs and many other things throughout the house. The detailed instructions and information left by the host were helpful, and the host was very communicative and fast to respond to any concerns. The house and property were beautiful and relaxing to spend time in, and felt relatively secluded while also being conveniently located. We would definitely look to return to this house for future Tahoe trips.

    Every single thing about this property is amazing. Beds were comfy! Place is clean and kitchen is very well equipped (we cooked gourmet meals for 10 people for a week and had no issues!) So many little touches that make this place top notch. We will be back for sure! Can’t beat it!

    Property is beautiful and all amenities were first class! Kitchen is stocked with every kitchen utensil and tool you would ever or want. Bed rooms have very soft and comfortable sheets, pillows and towels. House is decorated beautifully. Better than a top rated hotel. The owner has supplied games, and lake equipment for all ages . If you are board at this property it. Is your own fault. Our adult children , their spouses and 3 grandchildren , as well as my husband and myself, were very comfortable and enjoyed this family lake community home fully.

    This property was exactly as listed. This is a well-maintained home with all the amenities as advertised. Access to the HOA beach with paddle boards and a kayak was a definite plus, especially during the holiday week. Coffee on the deck in the morning was peaceful in this very quiet neighborhood. Also, another plus was access to a variety hiking trails right outside the front door. We would definitely stay here again!
