About this property

Ponderosa Cabin- Private Hot Tub, Close to Beach & Casino's- ID# ZK750

When you arrive, you’ll be happy to know you’re not going to climb any stairs to get in. The two-car garage offers you straight access into the mud room off the kitchen. Enjoy the cozy fireplace while watching a movie or streaming a show in the main living room just off the dining room.

The home features three bedrooms and two full bathrooms on the main level with virtually no stairs to worry about. While the younger groups will enjoy the freedom of the lower level as it offers two more bedrooms and another full bathroom as well as a game room / bunk bedroom combo. Perfect for the multi family or friend groups that enjoy their own space. After a long day at the mountain, kick back and relax in our large 8 x 8 hot tub right on the massive deck for your gathering.

For those of you who like to keep your business in check while taking that needed break, you’ll be happy to know there’s high speed Internet and Wi-Fi throughout the home. Plus, a printer if needed.

In the Winter, you’ll find some great sledding spots close to the home for the kids to enjoy and just a ten-minute drive over to Heavenly Ski Resorts gondola near the casinos at Stateline. In the Summer, you can take a short walk over to the Zephyr Cove beach & Marina where you’ll be able to take a journey out on the M.S Dixie cruise or even rent your own boat or personal watercraft. If hiking is your focus, there’s plenty of forest trails nearby including the amazing Tahoe Rim Trail featuring over 165 miles of hiking with amazing vistas, alpine lakes, and meadow creeks to see.

Cozy home base at Lake Tahoe

This was a perfect place to come home to after a day of taking in hikes and scenery around the lake! Location was perfect— five min to Stateline and great places to eat but situated in a more quiet, less touristy area. Five min walk to lake was nice too!

Excellent Stay for the price and area

The home was as shown on the pictures (with no pool table and an extra carpet square or two). The rental had almost everything we needed for a whole week’s stay and was in a great location! It has a great layout for teens who need/want their own space to sleep and hang out ;)

Fabulous!

The house itself was great for my family and my friend's family to stay in. Got a little space from all the kids! Also, our host was so accommodating. We had a few issues with an impending storm and the wifi was out in the area and Maria bent over backwards to help us. Would definitely rent with her again!

Retreat

The house was a bit dated except the bathrooms! They were very nicely done. Except the downstairs shower head didn't work which we were told the day before check in. It was not great for those staying downstairs, but we made it work. We enjoyed having a fire, eating at the nice table. Enough kitchen supplies for cooking which was nice. Loved just having the code to check in.

Great Getaway Home

The vacation home was as advertised. It was comfortable and plenty spacious for all 8 of us. The home was outfitted with pretty much anything you need. Plenty of warm and comfortable blankets, beds and linens. The kitchen had anything anyone would need for their stay. We entertained 16 and had the room and utensils, kitchen tools, etc. we needed. The only complaint I would have is that the house could use a thorough and deep cleaning - walls, carpet, kitchen, etc. We would rent it again.

Filthy

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house was not as expected. The pictures make it look bright, clean and airy. It is dark, dingy and musty. The carpets need to be burned - they are so filthy. We wouldn't even walk barefoot in the house. The entire kitchen is sticky and disgusting, especially the cabinets. The kitchen needs to be gutted. There is a rickety spiral staircase that leads downstairs that is not on any website photos and is NOT conducive to small kids, the elderly, or luggage! I had to buy Glade plug-ins to rid the musty smell of the place. The living room furniture is very worn and dirty. The hot tub is old and stained and the water is dirty. The windows and mirrors and child handprints all over them when we arrived and there was blood on the hallway wall. The cleaners did a terrible job. I called to complain about the cleanliness. The saving grace is that the bathrooms have been remodeled, and the property location. This house needs a revamp or a price reduction, and photos that actual look like what you're actually getting. NOT HAPPY.

House is well maintained

House is well maintained, nice and cozy. Communication all went well. However, I felt two things downsides 1. Slope to the main road with snow became slippery and it led to collision and damaged my front bumper. Not sure what can be done about it. 2. Checkout of 10am seemed a push.

Sheriffs showed up cause false advertising.

Stay was nice up until the final night when the sheriff knocked on the door saying we had to move the cars from out front of the house to zephyr cove because the renter shouldn’t be advertising 5 parking spaces at the property during the winter. Most of my group had been drinking and it made for a real bummer on the last night we had..

Snowy Weekend Getaway

The property overall was super spacious and fit my family well. The bathrooms were all beautifully updated. The house does need a deep cleaning done. The carpets, especially on the spiral staircase were quite dirty. The kitchen needs some updating but does offer everything you need. We weren’t able to use the upper or lower decks because of so much snow. We couldn't really leave the house because of the snow storm but the street was a great place to sled. Maria was very attentive and very accommodating with the check out time as it was snowing pretty heavily.

A bit Disapointing

The good- -well-equipped kitchen -great communication with the homeowner -comfortable beds with nice bedding and comforters -washer and dryer- dryer was nice for wet clothes when the kids came in from playing in the snow -great sledding hill next to the house -smart TVs -lots of bedrooms and beds -updated beautiful bathrooms -the garage was nice to keep cars in -fireplace in the living room the bad -very dirty, I'm talking dirt that has been there for a long time, especially in the kitchen (shelves, cupboards, stove...) - spiral staircase to downstairs, the carpet was filthy and it was very difficult to get luggage up and down to the bedrooms, you could take it in through the downstairs door from outside but then you were carrying luggage through the snow - limited parking due to the snow, she did call someone to plow so we had room for the 3rd car -the spa was dirty, smelled and disgusting, we couldn't use it -no firewood supplied and it was super expensive to buy -the living room is small for a large group, there were 12 of us - the kitchen is super small and needs updating, very difficult for more than 1 person to be in the kitchen fixing meals for a large group We had a great time in spite of it all but I was very disappointed mostly because of how dirty it was. The cleaning lady had come but there were hair and fingernail clippings on the bathroom floor from the previous people and the floor hadn't been mopped, just swept. Most of the filth had been there a very long time- the home needs a deep cleaning and some updating in the kitchen for sure.

Thanksgiving Trip

Ten family members met in Tahoe from all over the country as we are a military family and spread far apart. The spaciousness of the house was perfect for us! We had space left over! The beds were clean and comfy. The bathrooms are decent sized and updated. The kitchen was well stocked with all the utensils, pots, pans, and other items needed to prepare a huge Thanksgiving meal and several others throughout the week. The large table was perfect for sharing meals. The second fridge in the garage was a nice bonus for drinks and pies. :) Maria was extremely responsive in handling any minor issues that arose (spa code, spa not heating, needing snow shovels for clearing safe walking paths, Wi-Fi/cable needed restarted.) We really only had one con to mention and I noticed others have mentioned it as well. We spent the first hour in the house cleaning. Dirty floors, dirty sliding glass doors, dirty bathrooms, and dirty kitchen counters. I spent 10 minutes trying to clean the coffee pot before giving up and buying one from Walmart for us to use for the week. Thankfully, there were Clorox wipes and sprays all around the house, along with Swiffer floor wipes and Lysol. Overall, a great space and location for a family get-together. Oh, and a really nice neighbor kept warning us about a bear behind the house. Unfortunately, we missed seeing it, but saw a bunch of huge bear tracks in the snow. Maybe next time!

Every year we go to Tahoe for my mother-in-law‘s birthday. It’s somewhat of a tradition. Maria’s rental was absolutely perfect. We have somewhat of a larger, immediate family, and were able to comfortably fit everyone in her house. It was wonderful.
