Pleasant stay

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was a little bit of a rough start. Things were not cleaned, floors, beds looked like they had been slept in and made by the previous renter. The Bbq didn’t work, there was dog poop in the back yard which need some care as there are spider webs everywhere. And we could not figure out the fireplace even following instructions. The office was quick to help with some of these things. As far as the house. Great location, quiet and comfortable. Great to have the extras as we used the hot tub everyday and there were things to play with. Definitely would stay again. Tahoe rental just needs to do a sweep making sure everything is ready to go for guests.

One of our favorites in tahoe so far!

Great location, well-stocked kitchen, and a great layout! We stayed with 3 couples, 3 babies, and a nanny and we had plenty of space! Can't wait to return!

Wonderful Family Home!

This house had everything our three families needed for a comfortable and wonderful Thanksgiving week in Tahoe! The kitchen is fully stocked, and the living room/dining area is nice and open, allowing lots of people to comfortably lounge between the rooms. I would absolutely stay there again, and I highly recommend it to others.
