    Roomy with nice floor plan and comfortable beds. Upstairs master bathroom toilet area inconvenient due to pocket doors with clumsy latches opening into hallway. Dining room light fixture did not work.

    Happy Hiker is a wonderful house and property for large families and groups of friends. The wooden Indian statue greeted us in the driveway, and the setting adjacent to a cul-de-sac snd trailhead, with no houses and only trees behind it, is lovely, private, and serene. The house is very clean and well stocked. There are hooks on two trees along the lush green lawn for a hammock (not provided), and I was glad I brought mine! The only small quibbles are that the carpets could use a cleaning or replacement, and the kitchen could benefit from a couple of sharper knives and a screen on the window above the sink. Overall we recommend this highly and look forward to coming back. The property manager RNR Vacation Rentals is also very attentive and helpful.

    Easy check in and good location, not too far from stores or any of the Tahoe attractions. Accommodated our family very comfortably! Lots of toys for kiddos, decent amount pantry & kitchen utensils and some nice amenities; the grill, hot tub, trail access etc. The noise ordinance in the late evening (my family can get a little rowdy while playing games) & car limit were a little tricky at times but I understand those are vacation rental rules in general in the area. The house was a little dated & showed signs of wear and tear. The only true issue we had with the property was the cleanliness. The linens and kitchen were in good shape, but the bathrooms and carpet were not. The home has a “no shoes on carpet” policy that I’m assuming previous guest did not adhere too or housekeeping missed vacuuming because our feet were basically black after the first half hour of unloading & setting up our stay. The bathrooms had random dirt & undetermined stains on the counter and tile in the master as well as the downstairs bath shared by two rooms. Overall we enjoyed our stay! I’m sure the cleaning issue was a one off considering other reviews didn’t mention this issue. Would definitely recommend for families.

    We had a wonderful stay for a recent hockey tournament. This property ticked all the boxes, a quick drive to Tahoe amenities and stores but the hiking trail and green space made for a very peaceful stay. Everything we could have possibly needed was waiting for our convenience including serving bowls, cookie cutters, fans and all of the comforts of home. We would definitely choose this property again.

    Over all our experience at this home was great. The home met all of our needs. We visited during a late winter storm and the property was warm and cozy. We had a minor issue with a room and it was addressed immediately. We would stay here again in the future. There are a lot of rules for this neighborhood, but once you understand them it’s not to over bearing.

    Great time with our kids and grandkids. Cabin was perfect for the kids. It backed up to a forest and made it easy for them to play in the snow.

    The bedrooms are separate so this a good spot to stay with a group. Hot tub is lovely and the kitchen is well equipped. We loved the hiking trails right out the back door.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Worked great for our family! We had 4 children under 6yrs and they loved the house, bunk beds, toys and hot tub! Would have been nice to have some beach toys, chairs and umbrella.Dishwasher is a little hard to pull out the rack. But other than that it was well stocked with everything we needed. Fun tie for all!
