McKinney Estate w/ Roof Deck | Beach & Hike!

We loved this house and location will definitely stay here again!

The cabin was lovely, and the local management folks were fairly helpful. Grand Welcome is a terrible company to deal with, however. We arrived on the day of a snowstorm and when I called Grand Welcome about access to the house they told me to buy a shovel and shovel out the driveway and shovel our way into the house! It turned out the house did have one shovel, but we were left shoveling snow for the remainder of our ‘vacation’. We spent hours each day shoveling the driveway and into the house and out to the trash cans. Only on the very last day was the driveway plowed. It’s insane to charge so much for a place and have to do maintenance work on. Just beware if you’re planning to go during a storm!

We all enjoyed the staying, we all love the area the house is located. Quiet neighborhood and the back yard is open with l oh ta of trees, we really enjoyed the stay, we definitely coming back again.

House was nice but it needs more fans in the summertime. A couple of windows and the slider didn't have screens and the house never really could cool off in the evenings.

Nice house, some maintenance missing

The home was very pleasant and tastefully decorated, and is very quiet, as advertised. The kitchen had only paper towels. I wish I had brought my own foil, saran wrap, and zip lock bags, plus some essential kitchen utensils. If you don't plan on much food preparation, this place is fine. There was no dappled shade in the back- just dirt. We were there during the first week of the Caldor Fire and our stay was cut short a couple of nights, and we had just 11/2 really pleasant days out of 5. Last August I had to cancel Sugar Pine Pt. SP camping reservations because of smoke, and I foolishly gambled with this rather expensive (for us) rental, hoping we wouldn't have smoke a second August in a row. The screen door had not been fixed or replaced. Back to the tent and a resort stay for couple of nights next year. Both can be cancelled and modified. My two daughters both got refunds from the River Ranch Lodge when their plans were affected by unhealthy smoke. from the Caldor Fire.

Great spot for a family stay. Backs up to forest so lots of room to play in the snow.

Thank you so much for hosting our stay during this three day weekend. We enjoyed the big backyard with lots of snow. The kitchen was well equipped, except that we could not find a kettle. The bedrooms were clean. We experienced power outage on Saturday night from 9pm until 230am, there was no cellphone connection and no internet connection. All the flashlights were dead, good thing were able to find candles. Just a note for the owner to have that stuff prepared for the next visitors. Overall, the stay was very nice.

We had 6 adults and 2 young children and the house worked very well for a family of that size. Very close to quiet beach options and great hiking inside a quiet neighborhood. Like prior reviews, cellular service was non-existent in this area of Tahoe but WiFi at the house was strong and a landline+Ring was available for emergencies. We stayed in the summer and the A/C for the house doesn’t work well (at all), but it cooled down at night with open windows upstairs. All other amenities in great working order (washing machine, dish washer, patio grill, etc). We would stay here again!

The house is nice and the location is beautiful. We enjoyed walks in the woods behind the house. One reason I chose this place is that other reviews wrote favorably about cleanliness. Although it seemed Clean enough on the surface and it was clear that sheets and towels were clean, apparently other bedding was not effectively laundered. This made us wonder what we might not be seeing. I suggest the property managers scrutinize their cleaning service.
