    The property was located near the beach.

    We had a really great time staying at Olive Branch. Plenty of room for the whole family with college age kids! The location was perfect for walking to a morning coffee or breakfast or spending an afternoon sampling Garwood's famous appetizers and drinks. The hot tub was a big hit after a day at the beach or hiking and we really enjoyed the big space for family game night. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it for those families who need places to be together or have some space to relax. Lots of indoor and outdoor nooks to hide away when you need a sibling break :)

    We loved the location and the size of the house. It was well stocked and comfortable. We easily slept 7 people with dogs and had a great time. Very close to the beach, Gar Woods, hiking, etc. The hot tub was great and the kitchen well stocked. The only caveat for those traveling with pets is that the fence is not solid and had a large hole (missing planks) in the back so it is not fully fenced and we could not leave our dogs in the yard unattended but it is mostly fenced and it was fine while we were there and hanging out with them. Nice large yard for the dogs to explore and enjoy. Would stay here again.

    Our family truly enjoyed our stay in your beautiful home. The house is large and spacious with plenty of room for people to spread out or spend time together. It was cozy and welcoming! And the kitchen had lots of counter space for prepping family meals. We enjoyed cooking on the backyard deck (We brought our Blackstone from home). There were plenty of towels and linens! Thank you so much for making our family vacation so much more enjoyable and comfortable! We'll definitely be back!

    This home accommodates family members of all different ages. The large fenced backyard covered with an ample amount of snow was a favorite play area for the 4 and 6 year old. Everything in the exterior of this house makes for a repeat family vacation next Winter.

    Our stay for six days over Christmas was wonderful. Beautiful, well-kept, fully-furnished and nicely decorated house. Kept very warm in the cold weather. Gas fireplace works too well (not a complaint)! Had to turn on and off to keep from getting too hot.We got a permit to cut down our own Christmas tree near Alpine Meadows. We were very glad the house has high vaulted ceilings in the living room. The tree we chose ended up being 12.5 ft tall! It did not look that big against a mountain, but it was perfect!Had to call management company once (very responsive) to locate pots and pans. They were in drawer under the cooktop that was stuck shut and looked like a facade, not like a drawer. Opened with a hard pull, once we knew what it was.A few minor carpet stains here and there, but for a dog friendly house that's to be expected. No odors at all.We would definitely stay here again!Thank you!

    Great place and location. Only con was there is no furniture on the balconies so couldn’t enjoy outside without dragging chairs outside. Also, not much outdoor seating in the backyard on deck. Kleenex would have been nice too, but otherwise great house.

    Very roomy cabin for the whole family. We brought groceries, including spices, to take advantage of using the kitchen for our meals. The backyard with the hot tub was perfect in the winter after a day on the slopes. We were able to use both the garage and the driveway for our cars, very convenient after a snowfall.

    What an amazing piece of property! The house is beautiful inside with a really great layout of rooms and the mountain/bear decor was so inviting. Our three generational vacation was truly enjoyed by all with snow in the backyard to play in, a cross country resort close by (Tahoe XC) and a delicious restaurant Gar Wood nearby. Everyone enjoyed themselves (3 to 70 years old) and would love a return visit in the future. We would like to thank whoever the owner of this beautiful home is for letting us enjoy it!

    The home was very nice, comfortable for 6 people, and in a nice neighborhood not to far from shopping. Would definitely stay again!
