    House has feeling of great privacy backing on to a forest, but is very conveniently located to the park/beach across the road. Everything was nice, and Katherine could not have been a more helpful host.

    The home was so comfy! It was perfect for our family and was so peaceful. Easy to find and easy to access. Katherine was a great host and checked on us to make sure we were good! Very clean and the back was perfect for the crew to explore! Location was great and close to everything!

    This house is excellent for an extended family, with ample bedrooms and perfect living, deck, and kitchen space. The house was spotless with plenty of amenities. The location is fantastic for walking to the beach or park at Lake Forest, which features a leash-free dog beach. The neighborhood is quiet. Communication with the property manager is excellent. We highly recommend this house. We were able to see the Tahoe City fireworks from the front deck!
