Spacious Wooden Cabin, Next To Golf Course, River, and Trails - sleep 10

1st the positives, location 5*, we loved the access to the walking and bike trails, fantastic neighbors. Allowing larger dogs was a major draw. Andy the host was responsive to our concerns (we needed a new mattress, smoke detector chirp, and vacuum not on site) He was quick to respond and replaced the mattress (still needed a box spring) brought a ladder for the smoke detector and delivered a vacuum. The negatives, the property is suffering from much deferred maintenance, while clean on the surface when we arrived, we realized that several areas needed a deep cleaning and since we were staying a month, we pitched in. As mentioned in other reviews, the deck was splintered, and the living room seating was not adequate for the expected occupancy.

Some the house was breaking but super beautiful stay!

We had a bachelorette group, and the theme was “Camp bachelorette.” The cabin was perfect for it! There were plenty of beds for everyone and it was very spacious for when everyone was hanging out. It was in a nice little neighborhood and not too far from downtown. Overall, things were great! I’d book this rental again.

The home was a good fit for our family and Andy was very easy to deal with

Love that it accommodate my family of 10 comfortably.

I stayed here with my teammates for a quick weekend ski trip. Andy is a very communicative host and all instructions for the house were straight forward. The entire process went very smoothly and the space is exactly what we needed for the weekend. Plenty of bed space to host a large group. Clean towels and sheets. It was raining all weekend so we didn't use the outdoor deck or grill but indoors was cozy and perfect for our game nights. I don't think the drive way is large enough for 6 cars as listed but we only had 4 cars. The only note is that the smoke alarms are very sensitive - it set of once for a steamy shower and another time for the toaster.

The house was in a good neighborhood. The agent was responsive. However, some things were missing. The living room seating is not enough for 10-12 people. Only six people can sit at a time. Not enough seating in the living room. The downstairs bedroom has rat poops in the corners. Therefore, cleaners need to do a better job with cleaning. The ice maker was broken. There were no wine glasses. The fireplace did not work. I will give the house a 2.5-3 stars.

It was a good place to stay. We had 12 people for a family reunion, with about 20 others at different homes near Fallen Leaf Lake. There were a good number of queen/king beds so sleeping arrangements went smoothly. As noted on other reviews, it’s pretty dark in the house so so better lighting would be good, and some bulbs need replacing. We were having nightly “reunion” dinners so we had those at the other homes because this one was just too dark, especially as it got later in the day. Plus the deck needs serious work if guests are really going to enjoy any time out there. The picnic table is all dried up and warped and just needs to be thrown away. It’s not in any shape for entertaining. Overall the place worked though. A 17-page “rules and instructions” document is far too much for people to read. This needs to be broken down between between Rules, Check-out Instructions, and Helpful Info. Otherwise the guests aren’t going to read it.

First the positive- the place was very clean. It’s hard to find a 5 bedroom for the price. It was roomy enough for 12 people. A short walk to trails and streams and close to Paradise park. My grandsons loved that. Plenty of room to park 6 vehicles. Now the negative- the outdoor patio was a disaster- one of the kids got a splinter on the deck. The deck was splintered with chipped paint. The picnic tables are a hazard, one was actually broken, the other bowed and warped. No propane in the bbqs. It cost us $25 to get a new tank. Amenities in the kitchen not so great- I went to make spaghetti and there were no pasta pots or Dutch ovens to make a batch of sauce. No baking sheets either- I had to go purchase them. The bedrooms did not have dressers and the bedroom we occupied did not even have a closet, so my husband and I had to live out of our suitcases for a week and we were tripping all over them. No sheets or blankets for the futons. Many of the outlets wouldn’t work because the plugs would fall out of them.The whole house was kind of dark and in need of a facelift. The bathrooms were the only place that were up to date, but you had to be careful of the shower faucet handles. It has potential, but needs to have the negatives addressed.

We had a wonderful time on our vacation at Tahoe.

We are very happy with this place, it’s proximity to bike trails and hiking as well. We are very satisfied and comfortable with its spacious bedrooms. The entire house suits what we needed and very tidy. Having three full bathrooms were a big bonus. The owner was very accommodating with us. His kindness to our group is very much appreciated. This will be our place to stay whenever we go to Tahoe for a much needed break. Thank you very much Andy.
