REVIEWS: We kindly ask for understanding and compassion when sharing feedback about this home, just as we strive to approach responding to reviews with empathy.

Your reviews have a lasting impact on the home and its owner, who are real people behind the scenes.

TRAVEL INSURANCE: We highly recommend that all of our lovely guests purchase travel insurance as we normally do not refund for Covid, smoke, fires, weather, snowstorms, road closures, etc.

There are never indoor cameras. Most owners only look to see bears and snow levels at their homes.
MOUNTAIN CRITTERS: It’s not uncommon at any home in Tahoe to find little mountain mice, spiders, spider webs, ants, mosquitoes, etc. Our homes have on-going extermination services but despite our best efforts, these little critters might make their way inside. If found it doesn’t mean a home is dirty, let us know and we will do our best to mitigate such findings.

The house was very spacious, comfortable, and clean. Perfect for a ski weekend! The only reason we didn’t give it five stars is the towels and kitchenware could use a refresh, as they felt old and worn. Also, the fireplace is listed as gas but it clearly wasn’t and when we asked to get instructions, they didn’t have them and were going to have to send someone to check but we declined.

We stayed there for ski trip. Pros: Great location, close to palisades ski resort. Cons: Not many restaurant options in town. Driveway to garage is steep so it’s a bit hard to get in and out when it snowed. The host was responsive when we couldn’t find hair dryer and contacted them. Overall good experience

We hope to host you again for your next trip, and we’ll continue to work on making the stay even better!

We enjoyed our stay. The house is spacious, very clean and relatively comfortable. In February, it was a very quiet area with deep snow everywhere. You need a 4WD vehicle to get in and out. We found the management company to be pretty unresponsive and had to contact them for our checkin door code just minutes before arrival. They never got back to us about other questions we had. The house could do with a few things: hairdryer, kettle, humidifiers as it gets incredibly dry inside from the heating, ice melt for the driveway (very steep and can be dangerous with ice), and wood pellets for the stove (the description says its gas which is wrong). Otherwise we had a good time!

Overall it was nice. But so many little things that were irritating. We all could see that within a year or so all these deferred maintenance items will add up to more serious issues. 1. Living area lights were close to impossible to figure out how to turn on (the hidden remotes didn't help). 2. Washcloths not available. 3. REALLY SCRATCHED NON-STICK PANS. Please replace those with regular pans that won't shed.4. No serving spoons!! 5.Super cheap paper towels. I didn't think they could make paper that thin.6.. Table on back deck very wobbly- need to tighten the screws. 7. Screws missing from front deck screen door and some screws are the wrong size so the door is loose. 8. Can opener was weird and wouldn't open a mason jar. Need a traditional beer opener.The home was very clean, which was great. Convenient and very quiet.
