    We thoroughly loved our stay! The only downside was the wifi was out due to a prior storm, but that was not a fault of the house. The neighborhood was lovely, as we took our dog on many walks around both at night and during the day. The beds were so comfortable and the showers were great with plenty of hot water. The fireplace in the living room was our favorite! It heated the house so nicely, and there was so much firewood that was provided. We would love the stay here again in the future.

    The location is great at the top of the hill! It has a very large gathering space which is attached to the kitchen so everykne can be social together. The rooms are downstairs, and there are 2 bathroom/showers (one upstairs and one downstairs), which was convenient. Its close to many great spots to visit with beautiful views just about anywhere you go. The wifi wasn't working at the time, but we had data access and were able to use mobile hotspots, so that wasnt a problem. We did not use the washer/dryer while there, but it looks nice. They allowed us to use their towels and dishes, which is very kind of them! The TV works great, the fireplace is wonderful, and there was more than enough seating. The sauna and the spa were both perfect ways to calm down at the end of the day.There was no wildlife that we saw at the house, but they're around! It is so quiet at night, it felt like we were the only ones there. There was construction going on right behind us, which they were gracious enough to give us a discound becuase of, but we didnt have to worry about that over the weekend. The only thinkg I would say i didnt like was how close all the houses were, especially with another one being built. There isnt very much yard space, so its not necessarily ideal to hang out outside, but that wasnt a worry for us at all. We had a great time indoors and visiting the local attractions.

    This home fit our family needs perfectly. Close to Tahoe City and the lake. Wish we would have had a few more days to take advantage of everything. The HOA access to the private beach and facilities is really nice. Kitchen is well stocked and as we had a family with a one year old, we did cook a number of meals there. Beds were comfortable with nice bedding. Zach, the property manager was amazing. His communication was quick and he took great care of us.Yes, I would definitely recommend this property. Only reason I gave a lower score on one section is a lake view would have been preferable. However, the patio was so cozy for the family to gather that the lake view was not a big issue. Coming from Texas the pine trees and mountains were a nice change for all of us.

    We were amazed with the property and all the amenities. This place had more couches and chairs then i thought could possibly be in a place and it still did not seem crowded. Outdoor deck was enjoyable with hot tub and outdoor propane fire pit. The kitchen was stocked with everything you could want or need for food or drinks. Loved the round ice cubes and kids liked the smores maker. Pleased to see french press, drip cofee maker, and bean grinder. The master bed was so comfortable I now want a new mattress at home. Loved the layout of the house. Was excellent location for so much. Great options in the area and close enough to north and south portions of lake to explore. Loved having access to the private beach area. It was so nice to have beach chairs, beach towels, and some beach toys. Construction made it a little difficult getting around but not to bad. Just had to plan ahead. Such a peaceful and beautiful area. This place really made my families stay in the Lake Tahoe area memorable.

Quick drive down to Tahoe City that has fun shops, good restaurants and a nice walk along the water front. Hot tubbing under the stars was amazing and good for our souls.
