ABOUT THE AREA
Located amidst Homewood and Meek's Bay along Lake Tahoe's west shore, Tahoma is a serene and quintessential Tahoe town. A visit to Tahoma feels like a step back in time, with its summer cottages, historic homes, and the family-owned Tahoma Market & Deli. Whether it's summer or winter, the town's tranquility offers a perfect escape from bustling city life.
During the summer months, a must-visit is the public beach at Chamber's Landing, a nice family bike ride away along the bike path, or a quick drive down the road from your home. Here, you'll discover Lake Tahoe's oldest bar. So, whether you're soaking in the sun or arriving by boat, be sure to refresh yourself with the famous Chamber's Crush! To the south, Sugar Pine Point State Park awaits; it's also reachable in about ten minutes by car or bike. It's an ideal spot for a sandy beach picnic, hiking trail exploration, or fishing by the waterside. Just 8 miles away lies Tahoe City, where a vibrant array of eateries, boutiques, cultural events, and more cater to you and your family's desires.
When the ski season arrives, you'll find yourself just minutes away from Homewood Mountain Resort, featuring 2,000 skiable acres of groomed trails and pristine powder tree skiing. Alternatively, journey 15 miles to Palisades Tahoe, the largest ski resort in Lake Tahoe. For added convenience, jump on the FREE public transit system and avoid searching for parking as well!

The living room of the house is beautiful, but the layout of the house is not, the Master Room is on the main floor and the other two rooms were on the lower level where only through them we can access the Patio, There is not king size bed, the Light and bubbles in the jacuzzi did not work, towels were limited to one per person in addition to the excessively use as well as the bed sheets. The management office was very diligent with most of our requests.
We stay annually in Tahoma and found this house to be above average.
This is a beautiful cabin. The kitchen, family and dining areas are exceptional. We will definitely stay here again!
The property is cute place to stay with plenty of space and a nice backyard with hot tub. Only downside was the lack of glassware and working coffee pot.
For the price that we paid for this house, we've had better value around Tahoe during the holidays. Simply put, the house was not clean (to the point of unhygienic), not adequately equipped, and the property management was hard to get a hold of for check-in issues. The house was simply not clean, which, for the price we paid ($$$) is just not okay. It looked okay upon entering, but we stayed for 4 nights, and it became quickly evident that this house desperately needed a deep clean. There was copious dust in all bedrooms and living room, which caused allergy symptoms for a few members of our group, trash had not been removed (3 huge bags left in the garage, which we had to take out ourselves), there were food remnants under couch cushions and under the couches (gross), a coffee machine with a broken/cracked carafe that resulted in the unpleasant surprise of coffee leaking everywhere, and used, crumpled up tissues with mystery fluids found in one of the beds (really gross). When we tried to contact property management about checking in during crazy Tahoe snow days, it was hard to reach them and we had to wait until someone called us back to be able to confirm even our travel plans. We had to call them multiple times to even get our check in code. On getting to the house, there were NO basic supplies like paper towels, garbage bags, or detergent. There was only a roll of toilet paper for each bathroom. On calling property management, they said that in the rental agreement, they state that we have to provide for ourselves for more than 2 days. This is really bizarre - we've never had to do this for any other Tahoe stay, and in general, we've never showed up to a house with no basic supplies like garbage bags even. They eventually got us a starter pack of supplies at the very end of the next day. The saving grace of the house is that it's in a great neighborhood with a local (albeit small) market nearby. But net-net - we would not stay at this rental property again (especially at peak holiday pricing), nor would we recommend this particular property management company.
We skied and the kids got plenty of time to play in the snow.
Enjoyed the property just a couple of hiccups one must always wonder when there is a plunger located right next to the master bathroom toilet We had to toilet back ups of which we had to use the plunger which was not extremely pleasant Other than that I look forward to renting it again thank you!!
We had a great time in the house. The layout worked well for our group. The pictures represent the house well. A few things that could be improved: the hot tub water was rather murky (could just be because it's a wooden tub, not a jacuzzi type tub) and the bathroom amenities only included body wash, no shampoo.
Modest is an accurate description of this home. It is furnished with the basics and shows wear & tear (towels were stained, buttons were coming off the sofa). Our main issue was with the neighborhood & neighbors next door. The homes in this area are very close together. One of the neighbors had no less than 6 cars parked at the home during our stay and they were playing loud music (club-level loud)off and on throughout the weekend. They were also smokers and given the summer heat we had all the windows open to cool the house down so at times it seemed like the cigarettes were burning inside our own home.
Great house and location!
