    Comfortable stay for our family of 4. Nice simple cabin for a ski weekend. Everything we needed to eat, sleep and relax was available.

    Loved the location of this home with a nice large living room set up, hot tub, and walking trails through the woods right outside the driveway! Would love to stay again if visiting Tahoe.

    We really enjoy this cozy house with a great hot tub and location. Our only issue this time was a really strong and unpleasant smell between the dining table and stereo bookshelf at the front of the house. Could be a dead animal under the house, but not sure.

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great location right at the beginning of a trail-head with a pretty massive hottub and plenty of firewood in the garage for the wood-buring fireplace.

    Our family enjoyed a quick weekend getaway at the Squirrel’s Nest! The location right next to the forest trail was perfect for a walk in the woods with our pup, followed by a relaxing soak in the outdoor hot tub, and family games at the kitchen table. The kitchen was well-equipped and everything well organized and labeled. Quick drive to town yet tucked away next to the woods. We’ll be back!

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful stay here - quiet location, right by a trail which was perfect for our dog. We had everything we needed in the house, the beds were really comfortable, and the hot tub was a great perk. Conveniently located just a short drive away from the lake and activities. Check in and check out were easy, and we got help super quickly when we couldn't open the padlock for the hot tub (user error). Would absolutely stay here again!

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was a very comfortable home with just enough space for our group of 6. The wrap around deck and hot tub was an added bonus and the location of the cabin itself was peaceful. There's also a nice 3 mile trail that is right next to the cabin which we took full advantage of on our last day.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Thank you for providing a warm home to relax in. The area was beautiful. Had no problems with the fireplace. Wood provided was dry and easy to burn. Hot tub was wonderful. Clear and clean. Jake from hot tub company and his beautiful dog Maya came and made sure it was ready to use. Thank you jake. The fact we were able to bring our fur baby made the trip. Pictures of property are spot on. Have rented from Hauserman since the 80's always easy.

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We honestly love the Squirrels Nest have been staying there for many years. However, in the last couple of stays we've been disappointed with the following:Hot Tub - We won't go in, it's always murky & water needs to be changed more often. Putting chemicals in constantly doesn't work. Fireplace - Needs checking, it smoked up the entire house where we had to open all the windows. The wood may be the cause as the flue is open or it needs a really good sweeping.Heating - the heater is really loud & is very inefficient in the bedrooms.So having the fireplace & hot tub amenities is nice but if you can't really use them, not worth cost of equivalent to staying at a very nice resort.
