Fun vacation

We loved this clean house. It was fully equipped. Full kitchen, bathrooms had everything. It was nicely decorated. Our only issue was that there was no porch to sat on. Also, the nearlby snow place (5 min away) was closed so we had to drive 30-40 min to get somewhere.

Chalet Experience

Extremely clean. Adult son said, "this is the best kid friendly rental ever!" Saw a bear on property on two different days. Used firepit and BBQ every day, very easy. Great floorplan for multigenerational gatherings. However, no woodburning stove for winter months. The second oven is not functional which would make Thanksgiving stays more difficult.

Multi generation dream pad

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a 3 generation summer vacation in Tahoe in June and could not have asked for a better place. If you have kids, little ones to big ones, this is the house! The house has full of amenities with close proximity to hiking trails and the beach. The closest public beach is a bit far to comfortably walk there but only a short bike ride, which bikes can be rented from Homewood. The creek on the premise is a lovely bonus which creates a lovely ambience. However, the path down is steep and river rocks were slippery. Our family had a great time and would definitely stay again. The staff at Tahoe Rental Company are top notch. Communication was clear and open to suggestions to making the stay even better for future guests. 5 stars!!

Family vaca in Tahoma!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This place is PERFECT for families with young kids. We had 3 under the age of 2 and it was safe, clean and easy to manage them!! The owners supplied everything we needed and the rental company responded quickly to our questions. The beach is close but not really walking distance w young kids. It’s a beautiful quiet neighborhood - we never left the entire week!! Hope to go back next year! The older kids were a little disappointed that we didn’t see a bear!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house was exactly what we expected. Very clean. Great for kids both young and teens.. The stair gates at the top and bottom of the stairs were very much appreciated. The closet full of board games and toys were a great addition. This house was a 5 minute drive to Homewood Ski Resort. Well stocked kitchen with plates, silverware, pots pans, blender, crock pot etc. smart TV’s were great. We were looking for a pet-free house and this one was perfect.

Beautiful, spacious home and location. Fully stocked with all the amenities. The foam beds were welcome by some, not so much by others. I found them comfortable, others found them too hard. Overall a delightful stay.

Perfect house for a group

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 rented this house so all of our family could be together for Christmas. Upon entering, we were greeted with two lit Christmas trees and other holiday decorations! Everything was spotless and cozy and the house is well stocked. Although the house is geared towards young children we had four teenagers with us and it was perfect with plenty of room to congregate or find space for time on your own. I highly recommend this home!

Great for our Family!

We stayed here comfortably with 8 Adults, 2 kids, and 2 infants. The house was well set up for little ones and had lots of toys and kids items like cribs and hiking packs. The year round creek was undersold, such a nice feature of the house on a hot summer day!

Absolutely Perfect

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This home is perfect for big families. We had our family trip of 3 generations in Creekside this year and I can honestly say that it was clearly the best home that we have ever rented on the Westshore. Equipped with every amenity and more toys, games, water toys, beach equipment etc than our group of 12 could use in a week. Very convenient location to hiking trails and Chambers beach and Meek’s Bay. Highly recommended!!!7
