Will be back!
This place had everything! We've stayed at many cabins before and this place is the only one that is fully stocked! Plenty of extra towels, blankets, pillows, and even sleds! Love the location, just right off of Pioneer and not too far into the neighborhoods for those who are not 4x4s. All the essentials from shampoos to a fully stocked kitchen! We did not need to worry about extra garbage bags, toilet papers, laundry detergent, plenty of dishware and dish soap/detergent etc.! We were just surprised at how well we had everything extra there. The host was also every responsive! They always respond within 30-45 minutes. There were lots of toys, two high chairs, and even a baby tub! We did not get to use the baby tub because it was in one of the bedroom closets! Note to self, literally open all the nooks and crannies! They place is the place to be with families of all ages! The backyard had plenty of space for the kids to run around and play. The hot tub was a hit for everyone. They had show shovels for when we needed to clear the driveway and again, we will be back if this cabin is available for when we return. The cabin is carpeted as stated, which was not an issue for us since we are used to removing our shoes before entering the premise so that may be a set back for others.

Wonderful Tahoe getaway in a great location
We loved staying in this spacious home near Heavenly ski resort. It's in a lovely, quiet neighborhood close to great trails and easy access to the lake. The house has everything you could need and more -- a large kitchen stocked with pots, pans, dishes and even a double oven; a large living room with a gas fireplace, TV and a foosball table; downstairs has additional bedrooms, a pool table, and best of all, a hot tub! The homeowners were very responsive to all our questions, which we appreciate. We look forward to staying here again soon.

A very conveniently located home in a beautiful location. House was well stocked with all the amenities, and I must say the beds were quite cozy. Perfect for families or large groups. The double IKEA high chairs alone stand as a statement for the care and attention to detail

Very spacious home
We recently stayed at the home and had 9 adults including myself. There was more than enough space for all of us. Kitchen was well stocked with everything you could need to cook a nice meal. There was three methods for coffee which was nice to have (keurig, normal coffee pot, pour over with gooseneck kettle). Parking was very convenient. You could fit two cars in the garage and 4 cars in the driveway. We used the house as the starting point for biking around the lake. Roundtrip was around 77 miles, but the house is on a hill so the last mile will be a grind. Pool table and foosball added some nice entertainment. A few of the pockets would drop balls though since they are missing a few staples. Hot tub worked well and there were a good amount of extra hot tub towels. Overall I recommend staying here. Very convenient check in process and generous cancellation policy.

Great Neighborhood
Place was located in a great neighborhood and close to hiking. House was big enough for all of us to stay. We attended a concert while in town and the house was not too far from the venue or beaches. The home doesn't have air conditioning, so it was a little warm the first night, but after opening up windows it was much cooler the second night. We had a little hiccup at check in, but the owner was very responsive and helpful. Check in process is very easy and the information provided prior is very clear and helpful. Overall a good stay.

This is a very pretty house in a nice neighborhood. It is conveniently located and has plenty of space. The kitchen was well-stocked and drawers are labelled. No opening one cabinet after another in search of things! Communication with the owner was quick and friendly. Check in and check out requests were also very simple. Our family had a very nice time here.

A wonderful house for a family and pets! The yard is fully fenced and the kitchen is full of cooking equipment with lots of plates for adults and kids.

blizzard visit
Glorious upstairs vaulted architecture with a spacious feel and views all around of the trees. Loved having the foosball and pool tables for our college kids. Wonderful garage where we could drive in with the roof box and even open it inside made the stay so much easier. Even though we had no babies with us, it was lovely to see the house was so child friendly. Warning: Navigating this neighborhood during a blizzard was near impossible though unless you had a 4 wheel drive with snow tires, due to the slopes of the streets. Would be good to warn renters in advance to prepare the correct transportation since we were often stranded during the blizzard and had to rely on hiring cabs to leave the house. The bunk bed in one of the downstairs bedrooms was completely caved in on the bottom and impossible to sleep in, so we had to put the mattress on the floor. The carpets were in disrepair so there was one section with some exposed nails that we needed to cover over with some cardboard and duct tape to prevent getting cut. Kitchen amazingly outfitted and a beautiful space to work. We had a mixed experience in terms of the host and in terms of covid. There was a major snowfall the day we arrived and the neighborhood had not been plowed yet. We had gotten stuck with other drivers in the snowbank with our vehicle just a block away at around 3 pm with my 91 year old mother in the car. When we asked if we could enter the house early because she needed the bathroom and she was cold in the car, we were told we had to wait. In the end we had to wait all the way to 4 pm at which time the the cleaning staff was still there with a little girl. My kids played with her until everything was done and she was quite cute but we had not expected exposure to a little child upon arrival. The house still had scattered toys and juice box wrappers left over from her time there. On the other hand, after we left the house on the most serious of the blizzard days, our host checked on us multiple times to offer us that we could return to the house if we were not able to leave Tahoe, which made us feel very cared for and we are grateful.

Okay place
The location was great. Very nice neighborhood and close to several activities. The space in the house was comfortable for a family with kids and pets. However it could have been cleaned better. The carpets throughout the house were filthy. Also found boogers smeared on the walls in the downstair areas. There were cob webs in windows and ceilings, and built up dirt on ceiling fans.The back yard is nice. It would be better if there were steps off the sides of the deck.

Comfortable most of the year
We felt right at home at this property and unusually well suited to small children with highchairs and toys. Nice yard, lots of room, beds very comfortable. Unfortunately stayed during heat wave and not only no A/C but many windows and both sliding doors without screens so although there were ceiling fans we could not even get a cross breeze and it was stifling hot in house. We would not sty again in the summer.

The pictures do not do this place justice! Wonderful place to stay with family and friends. The house provides a great open space for entertaining and is close to the casinos and stores, but still far enough to be quite and surrounded by nature.

Outdated but functional
I was embarrassed when i arrived. The carpet was dirty and need replacing as well as the beds and towels. I felt bad for my fam that end up joining us. The home in general was outdated except for hot tub which was nice. Aside from that it was functional and had what you need. The price didn’t match the quality.

We enjoyed the set-up of this house. It felt really comfortable. The kitchen is fully stocked and all of the cabinets were labeled which was a nice touch.

terrible neighborhood
Me and my friends came here for the weekend and it was a group of 7 adult woman and we had read all the policy and procedures before we decided to book the home. when we first got to the home we were very pleased with the house it self. the reason why we were unhappy is because according to the home manual quiet time is after 10pm. we got into the hot tub around 7pm and were just talking and laughing as people do when they are together and we had the cops called on us. the owner was much of no help. the neighbors are EXTREMELY sensitive around there. another neighbor would watch us from her window anytime we were outside which just creeped us out. she would literally stand in her window and just stare at us. also it gets extremely hot during the summer during the night so be prepared for the heatwave. some rooms have small fans but not all rooms. the home was nice but if we would have known about the neighborhood being so sensitive we would have went with another house. just make sure you book it knowing what you are going into because the owner doesn't really clarify that.

Response from VrboOwner on Jul 4, 2023
Thank you for taking the time to review and its unfortunate that you had issues during your stay. This a nicer residential neighborhood in Tahoe and as such the neighbors are sensitive to noise. I believe while we ensure everyone understands that after 10PM is quiet time in our neighborhood, we assume that most people will adhere to normal volumes during the day as well. I did speak with the cops as well and they mentioned to us that the sounds were being heard down the road. We also mention in our responses back to folks that book that this is a sensitive neighborhood and we dont want to spoil your fun but if the group is going to be loud then it may be better to book elsewhere. Once again apologies that your trip wasn't as fun as it could have been.

Will return - best rental in South Lake
I don't usually post reviews, and will not be exagerrating when I say this the best rental in South Lake, we've experienced - will definitely rent again. Unlike other rentals we've experienced, this home is well maintained, clean and very comfortable for large group. You can tell the property is not just a rental, i.e. owners treat it as a second home and provide the same to renters. House has a well stocked kitchen (great coffee, hate having to run out for coffee at a rental), comfortable bedrooms with hotel quality sheets, and lots of games to keep kids entertained. Location is pretty nice too, in a quiet low traffic neighborhood.
