Roomy and Easy

Although this place is on the main road and is lacking in curb appeal, it was very clean, large, cozy, and close to everything we needed. The back yard is huge and there were plenty of beds for our group of teens. We loved that the rooms were connected for the kids, and we had our own room and bathroom as parents. The wood burning fireplace is a nice, cozy touch. A hot tub would be ideal, but we understand they are not easy to maintain. Otherwise, a great place for a very fair price.

Tahoe Getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We recently had the pleasure of staying at this incredible rental property, and I can’t say enough good things about it! It was so perfect for our family that included an assortment of ages with one fur baby. From the moment we walked in, we were impressed by how spotlessly clean and well-maintained everything was. The home had a warm and inviting atmosphere, making it the perfect cozy retreat.Every amenity we could possibly need was provided—from a fully stocked kitchen to sledding discs. Plenty of extra blankets were also available. We really liked the heated bathroom floors. The location worked well for us. You are on the main road but we never noticed the noise. My adult children and grandchildren asked if we could stay here again.

Great Location

Our group was a big mix of age ranges, spanning 3 generations. The kids loved the books and puzzles provided, which allowed grandma to partake and sip her coffee. The house was clean and had a supply of blankets for some cold nights. We also appreciated the heated bathroom floor. It’s a good location, close to town and a great sledding park. We were a little disappointed in the bed situation which seemed to be different as advertised. The bunk beds were shown with a double as the lower bed but when we got there, the bunk bed was lowered and a twin was used almost as an trundle underneath and a 3rd twin was added to the room. This was tricky for us just due to our sleeping arrangements but made it work. Overall, the place worked for what we needed. Everyone had fun and Our dog loved the fully fenced back yard!

On the highway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were happy with the rental. The rental company was communicative, responsive and very friendly. The only issues we had with the house was that we did not know it was on the highway; with kids and dogs that was less than ideal. The living room furniture was also not very comfortable and that is where we spent most of our time as a family. And even with the odd room layout, the bedrooms and bathrooms were great and spacious. In all it was a great stay. Just wish we knew about being on the highway and the furniture needs to be updated.

Prime location & Great Backyard

We thoroughly enjoyed this home; the backyard was massive and fenced in, so my dog could prance around in the snow. Also, there was some snow, and the littles could use their sleds. The kitchen is stocked with all the essentials, everything was super clean and well organized. The view from the dining table was beautiful and the last day we were able to enjoy breakfast while watching the snowfall. The location is central to Kings Beach and close to North Star Resort for those who are skiing/snowboarding. The check-in process was a breeze, and all the information we needed was provided beforehand (toiletry needs, wifi, etc.). I would stay here again.

Clean, good location and easy access with no hiccups. Well, maybe you should state it clearly in property details that “we don’t provide shower supplies, no shampoo no lotion no soup bar”, then you will not need to say “I am so sorry” in text messages. We have 4 adults and one kid, staying for 3 nights, and found there are only two mini body wash gels, one for each bathroom. Therefore, for future visitors, we suggest you bring your own shower supplies! And one more thing, for the bunker bed room, you will either go through a main bedroom to enter, or via the outdoor patio, I guess no one would like to choose the outdoor way in winter. That saying, for whom sleep in the “connector” bedroom, which connects bunker bedroom and the rest of the property, you better be the very good friend of the rest that ok with them running in and out:)

Comfortable Cabin at Northshore Stateline

This home is right on the main road, so a little noisy, but has a setback and large safe backyard great for children and/or dogs. The bathrooms are updated and clean. Some of the beds had plastic mattress covers. Kitchen was well equipped with cooking utensils, etc. Carpets were stained in many places. I took pictures so the owners wouldn’t think it was us if there was a question. Proximity to Speedboat beach swimming and Stateline Lookout a big plus!.

Funky cabin did just the job

House is on the small side but it's just what we needed for our family of 4. Nothing fancy but had everything we needed and good for the price. The house is on a main road which is great in the winter because it's plowed, but be forewarned if you have bolting kids or dogs. Two of the bedrooms are connected so kids sleeping in the bunk bed room have to pass through the other bedroom to get to the living area, and the third bedroom has a full size bed, not a queen, and two adults cannot comfortably sleep in it. Pics are honest and backyard looks huge for spring/summer months.

Great house if traveling with a dog

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Rental company was responsive and friendly. This is a good rental if you are bringing a dog (but you can’t leave him to go out unless he’s in a crate). Huge fenced backyard, carpeted floors so no concerns about nails scratching up hardwood. There are obvious signs of it being pet friendly, stains on carpet, bent mini blinds on windows. Not a place I’d choose if going without my pet, but overall very clean, nice location close to Kings beach and the new East Shore Trail where you can access the beautiful dog friendly Hidden Beach (up from Sand Harbor). Speedboat Beach is close, but high water level eliminated the beach and no pets allowed.House is spacious, large bedrooms, (strange layout- to access master bathroom you must pass through the room with the bunk), very very firm beds, largest is a queen, there is a plastic mattress protector on the full size bottom bunk, (uncomfortable for an adult).Bring your own: bath mat for both bathrooms, hand soap for kitchen, body wash for shower (1 Oz bottle provided), toilet paper (unless you don’t mind single ply sand paper), sheets if you prefer soft ones vs scratchy. Check the Bear Box garbage cans upon arrival, it was already full. If you don’t have room for your own garbage you have to pack it out or get charged a penalty for overflow. I had to take time during our outing to reach property management, they handled it promptly, although this should have been cleared out before our arrival.Set aside your last morning for check out procedure: empty all garbage (twice, unless you leave on Sunday when they ask it be taken out for the garbage collection), strip beds and towels, start load of laundry, start dishwasher, wipe down counters, put all furniture in place, if you have a shedding dog then vacuum too to avoid an extra fee. Overall I would recommend this property if looking for a good central location while traveling with a pet, as long as the above mentioned

There was a lot of sawdust outside on the patio so that prevented us from sitting outside, but otherwise it was well-maintained.

Great home for pet friendly getaway!

Everything as described and well communicated from property managers. Our dogs’ first trip to the snow and the backyard was a fantastic playground for them (and us). Cozy and convenient, everything worked. We brought our cable box and connected to WiFi to watch our hockey games in the evening after the day on the slopes. Would love to come back again.

Loved the dog friendly but surprised at the amount and extent of carpet stain throughout. That says more for the inconsiderate renter(s) that could have responsibly mitigated that. And that said, absolutely no odor and easy to overlook due to the coziness and cleanliness and everything else that was so nice.

Steak knives

We enjoyed our stay , one little thing was missing..there was only 1 steak knife. We brought steaks to grill so I ended up buying paring knives which is what Safeway had as the closest thing to a steak knife. Other than that, the kitchen had everything else we needed.
