    Property was nice , but definitely had some use .Outdoor deck was not well maintained. The hot tub was great. The beds were very comfortable.Some of the closet doors were off the track. Location was very quiet. Overall would recommend the property.

    The house was clean and comfortable. It was roomy enough to handle our family of 10. The rooms were well furnished, and the kitchen was well stocked. The owner was very easy to communicate with, and very responsive. We very much enjoyed our stay, and would absolutely stay again.

    Our group of several families had a fabulous stay at Rebecca’s home. Central location for all north Tahoe ski resorts with a spacious and level driveway, only a few steps up to front door, beautiful and spacious home with great amenities- enjoyed the hot tub, king beds with charging outlets on nightstands, spacious fully stocked kitchen, great space to spread out, shampooed/conditioners and soap in each bathroom shower - very thoughtful. Host was easy to reach and responsive. Thank you for a great stay!
