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. We understand that experiences can vary, and what might not meet one person's expectations could exceed another person’s expectations. Your reviews have a lasting impact on the home and its owner, who are real people behind the scenes. We genuinely value your input and appreciate constructive feedback that can help us enhance our offerings.
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 home was beautiful, scenery was spectacular! It was our first time visiting the snow. Only thing I would suggest as I do plan to book in the future is to have the driveway free of ice/snow. I noticed other homes around had clear driveways, My SUV did get stuck in the small amount of snow. I ended up purchasing chains which was a breeze afterwards! Other than that the host was very responsive & we felt right at home! Kids enjoyed the gaming room downstairs! The layout is perfect for a family with kids! Lots of board games & outdoor space to play in the snow. The home was clean and equipped with basic essentials needed! Plenty of towels were provided as well. I would recommend having a basic cleaning spray around for easy wiping down of counters and stuff after eating. I will be taking my own in the future :) Definitely recommend this place, there is snow play/snow tubing less than 5 minutes away! Huge plus!

Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re so glad to hear you enjoyed the beautiful scenery, the gaming room, and all the space for your family to relax and play. We appreciate your suggestion regarding the driveway and will definitely look into keeping it clearer for future guests. We also love that you made the most of the snow play nearby—it’s definitely a fun perk! Thank you for your feedback on the cleaning supplies as well, and we’ll keep that in mind for the future. We’d love to welcome you and your family back anytime!
