Oct 17, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family mini vacation This property was an absolute joy to stay at! It was comfortable, quiet and perfectly located to visit all that Tahoe offers. The decorating and appliance are all high quality and in excellent condition. There was a bedroom on the main floor for grandma and 3 perfect bedrooms downstairs for the rest of the family. Morning coffee on the deck was as enjoyable as the end-of-day glass of wine. We planned all our Tahoe adventures to make sure we had enough time to enjoy the house at the end of each day. ##### mike O. ### 8/10 Good #### Frank V. Apr 9, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent property for a Family Getaway in Tahoe Pros: newer property, open floorplan that was ideal for our family, quiet neighborhood, ample amenities to cook, cleanliness. Communication was good, but not prompt. Cons: most all closets were locked, which didn't allow us to really hang clothes up. weird check in process where TV was left on when checking in. having snow gear like sleds available to borrow would've been nice. Many of us had bad allergies during the entire stay. A better method of cleaning allergens from dogs/pets or having a filtration system would help with this. TV in the living room was not proportionate to the size of the room and sofas. It made it very difficult to watch anything on the TV if sitting on the far end of the sofa. Solid 4-Star property that we would consider staying at again in the future. ##### Frank V. Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### James C.
