Beautiful Views
My husband and I stayed at the chalet for our anniversary. The views from the deck are spectacular! Easy check in and check out. It has everything you could need. Communication with the host was quick and easy. We loved the QR codes which linked you to video instructions on how to operate most items in the house. This house is perfect for families with two different living spaces plus the game room.

Comfortable and clean.
This house is very clean on the inside but is really only a 2 bedroom. The beds are very comfortable. There are minor repairs that need to be made as the drawer in the kitchen was broken and very hard to open and close. The outside needs up keep and maintenance done on it very badly. But the host was easy and very quick to respond to request. Overall was clean and comfortable so would give 4 stars. If repairs were made and outside cleaned would give 5 star’s.

Awesome Family Getaway in the Pines
We loved the home, it is very spacious and warm. Everything we needed for a relaxing getaway with great views. The fireplace is amazing and the home was stocked with plenty of firewood. The area is very inviting for morning and evening walks. The kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms clean and included everything we needed for our stay. I highly recommend and the Hosts are very accommodating!!

My overall impression of the house was just okay. There was an issue with the refrigerator the 1st day, had to keep our perishables in an ice chest that was provided. The outside of the house was more run down than expected and the majority of the inside doors were really squeaky. The 3rd bedroom is off the downstairs garage, so the person that was sleeping there would have to use the upstairs bathroom at night, very inconvenient. The beds were comfortable, the bathrooms were sufficient, and the common areas served their purpose. Driving to the house at night is a challenge due to the winding roads. I would more than likely look for another house if in this area again.

Nice Quiet Stay
We went just to get away for the weekend. We wanted to take in a conference that was broadcast online over the weekend and this was the perfect place for it. A good TV in the living room, the game room and the master bedroom. We had a good stay.

Close to lake
Very nice rental. They had lots of little extras that most rentals don’t have like shampoo, soap, books, plastic wrap, etc. comfy beds too. We loved drinking wine on the deck and listening to the record player. Only bummer was the kitchen garbage can, which is difficult to open. We came here for the proximity to a wedding but enjoyed going to the lake as well. Would definitely recommend this place.

Night sky
The home was lovely. I would ask the owners next time how to turn off very bright outside lights. They prevent star watching.

A great time was had!
Great location and comfortable cabin. Made several trips to Tahoe and yet close to events in Sacramento where we had plans. My 15 year old son was in heaven in the downstairs mancave! This was a perfect spot for him to hangout and chill and he loved the mood lighting ;). We felt very comfortable and relaxed here.
