This is an amazing find! So amazingly designed and aesthetically beautiful, it also invites the natural surroundings in decor and in the natural history library we so enjoyed. The host was so helpful and accommodating, and the kitchen definitely well stocked. We loved every second enjoying the High Sierras from this wonderful home.
Very clean, everything you need for a relaxing vacation.
We had a wonderful stay with one family in the bottom floor rooms and our family (with two infants) in the top floor. The kitchen was perfectly equipped for cooking family meals and the homeowners lake was easily accessible for the kids to play. Thank you Anne for sharing your gorgeous home with us!
This our third stay in this beautiful mountain retreat. Our extended family loved the welcoming spaces to celebrate special milestones. Anne is an excellent and responsive host, making sure everything is working well. We’ll be back!
Great modern house with everything you would need. We just came back from a winter snow trip here and the location is great! Looking forward to staying here in the summer time. Anne (Host) was great with regards to answering all of our questions.
Great property! We stayed over 2023 New Year's Eve and had a wonderful time. Tahoe had challenging weather during our stay 12/29/22-1/2/23, we had pouring rain and a blizzard, and we were snowed in, etc. But because the house had a sauna, we really didn't miss out on anything! The house has a beautiful view and a big kitchen with everything you may need. Nicely sized bedrooms and modern bathrooms. Heated floors were a nice feature! Overall we had a wonderful time, thank you!
This house is *the* place for spending time with people you love. You'll enjoy the shared spaces, the open kitchen, the nooks for finding space on your own, and just the general vibe of this gorgeous and well-designed home.
We love this house and this neighborhood. Quiet and peaceful, the perfect place to recharge. Can’t wait to come back !
The property was amazing --- my family loved the open spaces in the kitchen and living room to play games, cook and congregate --- the amenities were very family friendly --- we are hoping to return next year when the weather is a bit warmer --- I really appreciated the prompt communication with the Anne, the owner.
Outstanding in every capacity. We have stayed in a variety of properties in Serene Lakes and this one takes the cake. Clean, great layout, well stocked kitchen, backs up to the forest and exceptional communication from Anne. Highly recommend!!
