Great place to accommodate family and friends

We booked this stay for our Christmas / New Years trip. We had family and friends staying there and there was plenty of room for meals, hanging out, and beds for everyone. Big yard and big house perfect for large groups. The host was super responsive and made our trip seemless. Would highly recommend this property! Close enough to everything but tucked away enough that you have your own space!

Great stay

Very impressed with the family friendly place which included screen guards for the stairs. It even has night lights we had in the toddler room. The fireplace was great to sit in front of in the mornings. We enjoyed our stay and can recommend this place.

Peaceful get away

This is definitely a home my family will visit again. Everything a family needed was found in the home. A list of places to explore provided a nice touch, and enhanced our stay. Morning walks on the nearby trails and evenings by the firepit was serene. Great communication with Duggin from the start.

All we needed in South Lake Tahoe

My family and I (6 adults and 5 kids) came to South Lake Tahoe for 3 days / 2 nights. We had everything we needed at the house: the hot tub, the yard with the play structure. Also we were close to a neighborhood trail at the end of the street (leading to a creek) and a short drive away from sight seeing and Zephyr Cove. We had a very good time and we recommend this house

Great stay in Tahoe!

We really enjoyed out stay at this beautiful home in Lake Tahoe. The listing was very accurate and we were not disappointed! We had littles ones in our group so we appreciated the safety gates. The host was prompt in responding to our questions. The beds where a dream to sleep on. We have an EV and loved waking up to a full charge via the 240V 14-50 outlet in the garage. The neighborhood was very family friendly and quiet. We hope to be back!

Awesome Tahoe Family Vacation Home

Overall a great cabin for families. Property is very clean and modern, great location and even had a small sledding hill in the backyard the kids loved! The only downside is that the bedrooms are all downstairs and living room/kitchen are upstairs with floor tiles that don’t minimize noise. So literally every footstep or chair moving echoes in the bedrooms. Not an issue if kids are heavy sleepers or everyone is mindful upstairs of the noise. That being said, would still recommend to others and would definitely stay again.

Best home I've ever stayed at!

Amazing home, especially with the latest snowfall. What a gorgeous view to wake up to every morning! We had the best getaway with our family. When we arrived, the home was nice and cozy. Everything we needed was there, the beds were extremely comfortable, walk in showers, hot tub, huge kitchen and very spacious. Duggan was quick to respond if we needed anything and his neighbor Mike was very helpful as well. Due to the weather, we ended up being snowed in but made the most of it and played in the backyard all day and really enjoyed our time with family. Highly recommend staying here as we cannot wait to come again!

The property was great, comfortable beds nice showers, all the necessary amenities were provided. Communication with Duggan was excellent. However the city of Southlake Tahoe now has so many rules and regulations for rental properties it’s really quite stifling.

Great stay, lot’s of accommodations and amenities.

Duggan was very responsive and accommodating during our stay. Traveled to Lake Tahoe with my family for my wife’s birthday and had a great time. The home was clean, comfy beds and lots for the kids to do. We travelled with toddlers/infant and the child gates installed on the stairs were key! We enjoyed the hot tub, while the kids enjoyed the playground in the background. Would definitely recommend.

Great location, comfy beds

We stayed with 2 other families and I have to say, the beds were very comfortable. The house sits on a sloped lot so while there was a playground in the yard, it wasn't ideal for the littles to run around. The floors tiles are uneven so with toddlers, it was a little hazardous. Bring foil of you plan to BBQ and paper towels, as we only had one roll. Every other aspect if this house was great, it was very nice. The owner was very prompt with communication!

Nice location, cleanliness issues

Location was excellent! Place would be great for a guys hangout only. Not clean enough for families with kids. Carpets had tons of stains, hole in bedroom wall and screens were missing. None of the kitchen amenities that were listed were available other than the oil and vinegar. No potholders, no proper pots with lids or frying pans. Fine if you’re just doing “take out” while there. Ran out of both tp and paper towel. Had to run to store for both. Jacuzzi not working

Great staycation

We enjoyed our stay at this cabin. The rooms were big with lots of closet room. The two living areas were a huge plus. Loved the open concept of the home that connected the family room to the kitchen to the dining room. We were able to use the the hot tub and that was just perfect. They have a fire pit area which we also enjoyed while some of us used the hot tub. The location of the home was also perfect close to the strip and stores. All in all I give them a 5 out of 5. The property owner also was kind enough to extend our check out to accommodate our kids distance learning classes. Very grateful for that.

About the host

Hosted by Duggan Smith

Host profile image
I came to Tahoe on vacation from Australia in 1998 and was immediately smitten. In fact I moved here permanently in 2003 and have been loving it ever since. I am lucky enough to teach snowboarding at Heavenly each winter and work in construction during the summer. My wife Angela and I feel very lucky to be able to raise our two kids in this amazing outdoor playground.

Why they chose this property

We fell into the vacation rental business in 2010 after buying a house together with my mum, so Granny would have a place to stay when visiting our kids. Its been a great combination of my passions for real estate, construction and customer service. We loved this house for its amazing location with immediate access to endless forrest, great views, the huge living area and massive bedrooms
