    The house was very nice and we really enjoyed our time there. The neighborhood was great for walking around as well.

    This house is amazing. I would leave there in a heartbeat. The location is close to a lot of great amenities including two trailheads. There is a fully fenced yard which is awesome if you have a dog that needs to outdoor space. Ours really loved the back deck and the proximity to swimming and trails. This is by far my favoritest place to stay in Tahoe. Cannot say enough good things about it.

    The house is lovely and comfortable, the property management company was great! The deck is so lovely we wish the back deck had a larger table with more chairs. If the home had private beach access and a hot tub it would certainly become our go to rental

    Everything was accurate as the listing except for one thing. We chose this house because of the fenced yard and the large size of the yard for our dog. However there is no entrance to the yard from inside the house. You need to go out the front door and around to the side gate. Not a big issue but I would have appreciated this information.

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It’s our third time staying at this cabin in Tahoe City and we absolutely love it! The location is great, a short walk to wonderful 180 degrees views of Lake Tahoe, hiking trails, grocery store, pet store, and the yummy Tahoe House bakery! It’s also a very short and easy drive into town! The house is always super clean, and it’s stocked with all you might need during your stay! The rental agency staff is super helpful and accommodating! Additionally, the backyard is fenced and our puppy was able to roam safely. There are filtered lake views from all the rooms, floor to ceiling windows that show the beautiful evergreens, and you feel like you’re submerged in tranquility and beauty every day! We will definitely be coming back!

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My husband and I, and our puppy Grizzly, absolutely loved staying at the Elegant Gateway in Tahoe City. The location is close to hiking trails, and just a short walk to the lake, or the Truckee river. There is also a bike trail right down the hill from the cabin that we used a lot because it takes you anywhere you want to go. The actual cabin was very clean, spacious, and had everything we needed during our two weeks stay. We also truly loved the fact that the backyard was fenced in, so our puppy was able to play and enjoy being off leash. The neighborhood was quiet, especially during the week, when there were't too many tourists. Bonus points: the amazing 180 degrees view of Lake Tahoe just up the hill, at the end of the road. Jenefer was amazing in helping us extend our stay with an extra day, and have a later check-out time. This is our second time renting this cabin, and are definitely planning to come back!

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our third vacation rental in Tahoe City, and definitely the cleanest and best-equipped. We prepared most of our meals, and the kitchen offered everything we needed, including a water bowl for the dogs. There were basics like oils & spices, which is not a given in a rental.Although there's no clear view of the lake (we knew that) the flip side is that the house is well shaded, so in hot weather, if you are strategic about opening windows and closing shades, the house can stay comfortable (it was nearly 90 a few days). The bedrooms are downstairs and are cooler than the main living area.Parking was ample. The wifi was a bit weak, but I believe that's true everywhere in the area. The fenced back yard was a great bonus if you have a dog that likes to chase a ball.Negative: The property behind the house has a floodlight on their property; if you're a light-sensitive sleeper, you'll want to draw the shades, which means you restrict fresh air when it's warm out.I'll conclude by emphasizing the cleanliness of this home, the quality construction and outfitting, and the ample natural lighting in the main living area. The game loft is kinda cool as well.

    We had a great time. The kids loved the backyard They were able to play in the snow without me having to go down to the yard. I watched from the deck. I was surprised there is no way to get in the back yard except from the gate out front. I’m guessing because of possible bears…
