We had a group of 10 from out of state stay here and everyone was stoked on the house and location. Out of the way but close to everything, well stocked and easy to deal with. The pictures donât do it justice. 10/10 will book here again.
Our family went up for a family vacation and for a wedding. The house is everything you see as advertised. Check in and checkout are super easy, communication with the owner is fantastic. Very responsive, very accommodating. We are already planning our winter vacation for this location. Enjoy! We sure did!
Stayed with our family for the weekend. The house was huge, plenty of room and had everything we needed. There was a power outage late at night and Kevin was quick to respond when I messaged him! The only con was there were a few little critter bugs in the basement that appeared on my cousins pillow and in the basement bathroom. Other than that, it was great for a large group!
Amazing cabin with every appliance and amenity that we could have hoped for. My step mom was also impressed with the selection of board games stocked in the house. Very communicative host. No problems at all!
We were 3 families staying for a long weekend with kids from 4-16. The property was clean really nice. We were able to cook dinner 2 nights and Palisades was very close. The kids loved staying in the rec room where there were a lot of activities for them in there. We would stay here again.
My friends and I had a great time at this stay. Check-in procedure was easy and straightforward and the host was responsive to all my questions. The location was great for access to Palisades. Would love to stay here again!
The check in was very good once we remembered the old gym locker process of left , go past right, and then left again. We were very impressed with the fact that all 12 of us could fit into the condo very comfortably. The dining room had a table that made our celebrations possible. The major drawback of this lovely condo is the fact that itâs close enough to the main road to hear traffic, which at times was so loud that it drowned out conversation on the deck. Our four young boys enjoyed the downstairs game room with the bunkbeds, and had a great time, playing games and cards. The kitchen was fully stocked, and the bedrooms were clean. The bathrooms needed to have more than one towel placed in them, as we did not find the extra towels until the day before we left. Aside from these few drawbacks, we enjoyed our stay very much.
Kevin was a great host! He was so communicative, accessible, and flexible. The property is close to everything, so it was really convenient for our gathering! Their game room and board games were a huge hit with our group as well.Guests launder their sheets before they leave to keep cleaning costs lower, which we didn't mind, but some might. I kept 1 star off bc I think 1 set of sheets wasn't laundered before we got there. But the rest was perfectly fine, and I would absolutely stay there again. Their welcome binder was full of great info and their kitchen even had extra baking goods and spices for us if we needed them. These hosts are very considerate. Definitely a good rental!
Everything as represented. I have done several VRBOâs and to me the most important thing is communication with the owner/manager. In this rental it was great, always prompt and helpful. I have no trouble recommending this property.
To start, communication with the owner was fantastic. We were so happy to have so much information and the available to ask any questions.The house is cozy, yet very roomy. The main room has awesome high ceiling adding to the feeling of space. The kitchen was very well equipped and large enough for use by multiple helpers. We had small children included in our party and they loved the house, one said she wanted to stay instead of going home! So sweet!
Overall, had a great stay at this property. We are a family of 11 folks and had an excellent time during thanksgiving. Check in process was easy, good area to walk the pets out and lots of beds for folks to sleep comfortably. Would luv to rent again in the future.
We have 3 children under 12 and they loved the house. It is spacious. They loved the game room. We wanted to take our kids snowboarding for the first time and it was a 5 minutes drive to Palisades. The directions where great, the host has excellent communication. We would love to come back. We highly recommend!
The house is such a wonderful location especially if you're going to Palisades. It's the perfect combo of feeling secluded in the woods and being very close to restaurants and the freeway. It's great for a large group. We loved that we could bring our dog. We had everything we needed and a lot of space. My favorite feature of the house is the big beautiful living room window. It was snowing so it was like we were staying in a snow globe.
Great property. Was hot at night and werenât allowed to open all the windows and no access to AC (if there was one?). Wi-Fi wasnât working, but owner also communicated that beforehand and apologized. Overall great stay! Will look into staying again in the future. Thank you!
We enjoyed our stay! The house was large, clean, and well-stocked. The only downside was that we had issues with the internet, and there is little to no cell service in the house. This may not be an issue for many vacationers, but some in our group were planning to work remotely and were unable to. Other than that, the house was great!
The home is in a very good location and is 5 min away from Palisades Tahoe village and ski resort.
We were a big group of 7 adults, 3 kids and a dog. The home was very comfortable for such a big group, with a lot of space for the kids to run around and play. The basement is very convenient for kids to play and make as much noise as they want. It wouldnât bother us in the main floor or upstairs where all the bedrooms are.
Overall the stay was very good and weâd love to book this place again in the future.
Kids really enjoy the downstair basement with lots of privacy. The WiFi is really bad we canât even use our cellular data so donât think about using them at all, which maybe good for your eyes and mind. Supermarket is just 10 minutes drive so everything is convenient. The house has 4 stories so lots of stairs. Owner are super responsive and nice, I wish I could give him 8 stars out of 5!
My family and I rented this lovely home to celebrate my birthday on the 4th of July. Lake Tahoe was packed but we were really really thankful to return to the beauty and solitude of this place after fighting traffic and long lines at Lake Tahoe. The kitchen is well-equipped and roomy. Nice sized bedrooms and plenty of bed linens and towels for all guests. It's very close to Truckee, Truckee River, Donner Lake and Squaw Valley which we all really enjoyed and had never spent time in before. There is a wonderful trail that runs alongside the Truckee River which is right across the road from this house.
The only downside to this house is that it has no tv in the living area and the tv in the downstairs recreation room is very old with a fuzzy picture. Also, the internet was not the best. However, this meant we all had to spend more time together, so that was a big plus!
All-in-all, I highly recommend this home.
We stayed at this property for a weeklong family vacation. The property is in a great location between Truckee and Tahoe City. There is an easy 15 minute drive to get to the lake. The surrounding area is extremely beautiful scenery. We enjoyed hanging out at the house and sitting on the front deck enjoying the view and the great weather.
We are architects in San Francisco and designed and built this house in 2006. Raising two boys in the city, we have always known the importance of getting away to the wonderful outdoors that the Tahoe area has to offer. We started the boys skiing, fishing and hiking when they were 2 years old and they still enjoy the same activities today as young adults. With the boys now grown, we have the opportunity to open our home so that other families can partake in the same enjoyment that we have had over the years.
This property is conveniently and centrally located. About equidistant to Truckee and Lake Tahoe (Tahoe City), and only 1.5 miles to the Palisades/Squaw Valley entrance, this location is ideal. The house is designed for families or groups and is very spacious. It has been designed in the Tahoe vernacular and built majestically into the hillside to capture the view. Top of the line kitchen appliances and large dining room create a great opportunity for family and friends to dine together.
