    Wonderful house with tons of toys/games/books for kids, very comfortable rooms, all the cooking tools we could have needed. Great hill in the back for sledding. Nice, quiet neighborhood close to plenty of fun activities. Very professional, informative and responsive hosts!

    Our family of 12 gathered from various parts of the country for a fabulous five days at the Creekside Chalet and what a wonderful time was had by all! While the photos and description on VRBO were what initially got our attention, the actual experience was beyond expectations on all levels! The house itself was spacious, yet gave the feeling of warmth and comfort! The five bedrooms, including two master suites, the three full bathrooms, the well appointed kitchen, the dining area where we could all sit down at the same time for meals, the large common areas with plenty of comfortable seating, floor space, large windows letting in lots of natural light….. I could go on and on! I need to mention that every light switch throughout the chalet was labeled! This was most helpful! Information and overall procedures were clearly stated and present! There were so many small details that the owners paid attention to which added to all of us feeling at home! The backyard had furniture, barbecue grill, and tables and chairs. The location was convenient to local beaches, hiking and bike trails, restaurants, etc. It is also worth noting that the property management company was easily accessible and responsive when we contacted them with a couple of questions during our stay,Every summer, we choose a different location for our destination, family vacation. This experience ranks at the top of the places we have gone to over the past five years. It was overall awesome!

    This property was fantastic, the location was good, the house had everything we needed and my kids were never bored. If we never left the house we still would have had an amazing time with everything that was available to us. And when we did go out they had chairs, life jackets and many other things that made our trip stress free.

    We loved this clean house. It was fully equipped. Full kitchen, bathrooms had everything. It was nicely decorated. Our only issue was that there was no porch to sat on. Also, the nearlby snow place (5 min away) was closed so we had to drive 30-40 min to get somewhere.

    Extremely clean. Adult son said, this is the best kid friendly rental ever! Saw a bear on property on two different days. Used firepit and BBQ every day, very easy. Great floorplan for multigenerational gatherings. However, no woodburning stove for winter months. The second oven is not functional which would make Thanksgiving stays more difficult.

    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: We had a 3 generation summer vacation in Tahoe in June and could not have asked for a better place. If you have kids, little ones to big ones, this is the house! The house has full of amenities with close proximity to hiking trails and the beach. The closest public beach is a bit far to comfortably walk there but only a short bike ride, which bikes can be rented from Homewood. The creek on the premise is a lovely bonus which creates a lovely ambience. However, the path down is steep and river rocks were slippery. Our family had a great time and would definitely stay again. The staff at Tahoe Rental Company are top notch. Communication was clear and open to suggestions to making the stay even better for future guests. 5 stars!!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This place is PERFECT for families with young kids. We had 3 under the age of 2 and it was safe, clean and easy to manage them!! The owners supplied everything we needed and the rental company responded quickly to our questions. The beach is close but not really walking distance w young kids. It’s a beautiful quiet neighborhood - we never left the entire week!! Hope to go back next year! The older kids were a little disappointed that we didn’t see a bear!
