Thank you so much for your great review! 😊 We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the location so close to Heavenly, as well as the cleanliness, well-stocked space, and spacious backyard. We’re especially happy the hot tub was clean and perfectly hot — such a great way to unwind after a day on the mountain! Thanks again for staying with us, and we’d love to host you again anytime. 🏔️✨

We had such a great stay- the rental was near the Heavenly Resort in Lake Tahoe. The location was close to everything, but still peaceful and quiet. We saw a bunny in the backyard on our last morning. My favorite parts were relaxing in the hot tub in the evenings while taking in the beautiful mountain views, with cozy times by the fireplace. It was the good balance. The kitchen was well equipped and the grill worked well. Beds were memory foam and so were the pillows. Couch pulled out to be a day bed. It was great for a small family to hangout in the snow. FYI: You’ll need chains or a 4x4 to get up the street. There is a thermostat in reach room that has to run on and off through out the night to keep the temp above 50* it’s loud & dries out the air quick & effects sleep. There were no black out curtains just window shades so expect to wake up with the sun. The hot tub has a strict curfew 8-10. The couch was really uncomfortable as is, but was pretty good in the day bed formation.

We stayed here for a ski week in December. The location is nicely located near the California heavenly lodge (although perhaps a bit far to walk in ski boots), and is also close to South Lake Tahoe restaurants. But it also feels very remote and peaceful. The hosting company was very responsive in n responding to questions. In all a great stay!

We just stayed over Christmas and there was a big winter storm that hindered a lot of our plans in town and our travels. This house was our saving grace. From the moment we finally got to the house, they had Christmas music playing and the fire created such a welcoming ambiance. We ended up spending a large portion of our trip in the house which was fully equipped with everything we would need such as kitchen utensils, extra blankets, games, books, tv, and the hot tub was awesome. It looks just like the pictures, maybe even better! Highly recommend.
