It doesn’t say in the ad, but please note outdoor furniture and bbq are only available May-Sept. This place was ok. There was quite a bit of pet hair on the blankets, couches etc. and no view. The best part is the location.
Had a great time staying at rustling grove. Can’t beat the walkable prime location. Would absolutely stay again.

Great Location!
This beautiful, well appointed home exceeded our expectations! Super convenient location, walkable to downtown Tahoe City and the lake. Would stay here again.
Everything about this place is terrific. It has a great layout with a large living room and a well appointed kitchen. The location is perfect: walking distance to Safeway and Tahoe City restaurants and a 15 minute drive to Palisades Ski Resort. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to stay there the next time we are in Tahoe.

Rustling Grove Cabin - Tahoe City
Beautifully restored old Barn-style home with a great, central location in Tahoe City. Nice to be in walking distance to downtown. Management communication was very good and seamless.
This wonderful house was super cozy and just perfect for our group. Everything was clean and well appointed. The location was perfect for a lot of the snowfest events that took place right down the street. Where this house is you are right next to some of the best bars and restaurants that all the locals hang out at and it's all within walking distance. The hot tub was the nicest way to end the day after all the festivities! We had a fantastic time and hope to be back next year!
Charming home well furnished with an expansive living room, updated kitchen with everything you need to cook in and three bedrooms upstairs. Walking distance to lake, restaurants and retail in Tahoe City. Short drive to Palisades. Can tell owners care about the home and were responsive to any questions we had during our stay. Would definitely recommend.
Great location! Walking to downtown but very quiet area. Very well equipped kitchen with everything you need. Great grill and the hot tub was fantastic! Will definitely rent this home again. Great for entertaining and families.
Overall a good stay. Some things missing like shampoo and soap in some bathrooms but overall good.

Convenient and Comfortable Tahoe City home
We only stayed a few days in this cozy house, but it hit all of our desired goals: tidy and clean, great outdoor area with a welcomed hot tub after our hikes, as well as convenient to the main strip (without being too loud). Tahoe Getaways were easy to work with, providing fluid communication and clear instructions.

Lake Tahoe Rustling Grove
Had a great time in Lake Tahoe with the family for my birthday week. 🎂The Rustling Grove cabin was a perfect fit for our family. Very clean, spacious and modern. Bonus was having a dog 🐶 park across the street for our grand dog Rex. I highly recommend this home 🏡 for your next visit.
This cabin is in a fantastic location. There are a few things that prospective renters may find helpful. First of all the master bathroom has a window/skylight that exposes users bodies to the meadow adjacent to the property and you need to be careful to stay out of view of the road. It may be that you can’t necessarily see in but it seems like you can! It’s nearly body-length. The other point of interest is that a softball field and elementary school are across the street. It’s not a big deal but one night there were games until 10pm. If you’re into watching local rec softball, this may be a plus for you! Other than that, this cabin is within walking and biking of so many great shops and restaurants.
