Not As Advertised!

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This rental property looked nothing like was advertised in the photos. No wall coverings different appliances in the kitchen not the same furniture throughout the house. Exterior was a mess piles of leaves and Pineneedles everywhere. Property, managers were terrible. House was not cleaned and ready at time of check-in. No inspection of the outdoor areas lead to a bear encounter in backyard at 2am due to leftover trash from previous renters. Management failed to return our calls. I am military veteran of 30 years and a fairly patient man simply recommend you do not rent this house for the price they are advertising. Manage your expectations.

Kings beach cottage

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Cute place, great deck and sitting area. Kitchen had everything we needed to whip up breakfast and dinner , including a Gas grill on the deck. Two bedrooms one with queen bed and second with a Triple bunk bed with full size mattresses. -Could be a challenge for some but worked out well for us (6 guests). Great location in Kings beach, near main road, close to lake, restaurants, casino, and grocery stores. We enjoyed our stay thoroughly. Recommend for small family getaway.

Great Getaway

We were traveling for work with my family and 2 pooches and this quaint spot was perfect for our needs. The kitchen was well stocked and the triple bunkbeds for my older kids were large and comfortable. Great spot, we'd definitely stay again!

Cozy

Located a short walk from the lake. This VRBO had everything you need and was very comfortable. Our only suggestion would be more lighting.

Nice

The place was cute. I would suggest putting a pillow top cover over the mattress, the bed was uncomfortable. Also finding the light switches is a little wonky. And unfortunately the neighbors across the street have too many cars and park in front of the house and in dirt driveway.

Ideal location

This cute, 2 bedroom home was perfectly located around the corner from my daughter's home and a short walk to the lake. It was clean and roomy for my husband and me and had an extra bedroom which could sleep another 4 people, but with only 1 bathroom, that would be a little crowded! The kitchen was nice but not well stocked. We had no soup spoons and no cookie sheet. The management company was very responsive to our problems. The wi-fi was not working, and there was no hair dryer.They came out immediately to fix the wi-fi and bring a hair dryer. The first night I had to take a cold shower because the hot water wasn't working, but North Tahoe Rental Co. came out the next morning to fix the problem. When we asked about the broken shade in the master bedroom, we were told the owners knew about it but didn't want to replace it. It would have been nice to be able to open the shade.
