Relaxing vacation home
A much needed vacation for the week! The property was just as advertised. Convenient to many local attractions and except for the summer heat wave, was a perfect week. Jim was a great host!

Great place
We loved our stay in Tahoe! The location is perfect, close to activities without being in the middle of everyone. It's very comfy and spacious, and the hot tub was the absolute highlight. The house had everything we needed. We were able to cook meals in the well-stocked kitchen, which saved us from having to deal with crowds at the restaurants. The beds were very comfortable, bathrooms were clean, and there was nice space in the living room to lounge and watch movies at night. We also loved being able to have our dog with us. There's a trailhead a short walk up the street that gave her space to run and explore. We all loved the big balcony to sit and read in the afternoon and of course soak in the hot tub each night. Jim was an excellent host and gave us great suggestions around the area. Can't wait to return!

Perfect Tahoe Getaway
Everything was to expectations or beyond based on property description and other favorable reviews. We enjoyed being close to the Tahoe cross country center. Owner was very friendly and checked in with us when the Christmas blizzard was forecasted. Unfortunately we decided to leave earlier than planned due to potential for weather related travel problems. We would definitely like to return in the future.

Great family rental
My husband, two teenagers and I had a great stay at Jim’s place. The house was great for hanging out and relaxing. We loved eating on the deck, reading on the comfortable living room furniture and spending time in the hot tub. We were a 5-minute drive to town and could get anywhere in Lake Tahoe within an hour or so (depending on traffic). Jim was an excellent host, providing access to beach chairs and inflatable tubes as well as good recommendations for nearby activites and restaurants. We hope to come back someday!

The property is in a great location, a few miles from Tahoe City and Kings Beach. It’s also very close to Skylandia State Park Beach. Jim is a great host, very communicative and help with local advice and suggestions. The house is well equipped and comfortably accommodated 6 adults.

Thanks for great review. You were right regarding oven fan. Somehow a blade was bent then hitting housing. Fixed it on my own.

All-around Amazing!
Jim's Tahoe City castle is the perfect place to stay. Miles of hiking/biking/snowshoeing right up the street, all the amenities of Tahoe City a short drive away, and the public lake access less than a 20 min walk. The house is also outfitted with a killer sound system and a great library of books/movies. Even more impressive was Jim's hospitality! He made us feel at home and gave us help when we needed, offering all kinds of tips, and left us plenty of privacy. We stayed for a month, but I'd recommend it for any duration!

Woodsy neighborhood, modern, roomy, comfortable and HOT tub
Larger than we needed (this place could easily handle 6-8) but finding rental with a nice outdoor hot tub always limits our searches. All nice, clean, comfortable and nice outdoor grille which we used. Also close to Tahoe City, where we had three nice dine IN dinners, and we toured many spots all along Tahoe North coast, from West to East side.

Excellent Summer Getaway
My husband and I, along with our two pups, had an amazing stay here and will be back! The property was very nice and the location was perfect. Very close to downtown Tahoe City and only minutes away from the beach and great hiking options. We enjoyed using the BBQ grill on the property and loved having use of the hot tub after a long day of hiking. Jim was a great host, always available to answer any questions and was very welcoming. We can't to come back!

Great stay & location
Had a fabulous time here over New Year's! We're a family with a toddler, and it was fantastic being a <10-minute drive away to the grocery store and Tahoe City. The house is clean and the kitchen was stocked with convenient goods, and the owner was highly communicative and checked in with us to make sure that we had everything with needed. Would definitely recommend!

Fabulous place to stay. Would highly recommend the property and the owner
Went as a family of 6 for Thanksgiving. The property was spacious enough that we had our own time. It was very warm and cosy especially with all the snow outside. The hot tub was great too. Will definitely be back again

Great Family Gathering Home!
Our family came in from Illinois, Philadelphia and Berlin to enjoy a week together of relaxation and birthday celebrations. Initially disappointed that we were unable to go to Yosemite due to forest fires, we chose Tahoe as our 2nd choice and we are glad that we did. When we arrived Jim greeted us and gave us a quick overview of the electronics, lighting internet etc. as well as a few area activities and bikes and rafts etc. We found the home to very clean, with up to date appliances and furnishings. The deck with gas grill, slate topped dining table, lounge chairs and spacious hottub were a definate plus. Though the the air quality and visibility were a bit rough the first couple of days, it eventually returned to normal levels, Great week, we highly recommend it.

Great location, hot tub and patio key!
Great location, just a few miles from Tahoe City. The owner is great - super responsive and helpful. The place is lovely, the patio with hot tub is the star, along with the living room - amazing reclining couches, great TV/system with dish network and premium channels. We spent most of our time on the patio and enjoying the living room setup. Note that while it's listed the owner lives next door (he was out of town during our stay, but rented it out to friends), there is also an apartment downstairs that has full-time renters. While we didn't run into them on our stay, I could hear the baby crying at night and they were doing construction/drilling until almost 9pm on Saturday night, so I was a little disappointed to not have a truly quiet and relaxing experience. Note that during the summer, the house can get quite hot, so opening windows and keeping blinds shut during the day was key to a cool night's sleep.

Very positive
The property was easy to get to, close to Tahoe City and walking distance to the water. Jim, the owner lives next door. He was was there to greet us, offered bikes, rafts, hiking ideas etc. He was available if needed, but also not seen if this is not your desire. The home was attractive, clean, comfortable and roomy, enough for three couples. My only suggestion is have a fan in the loft for air flow (was warm at night) and curtains on the bathroom window, Early morning direct sunlight is blinding. It's a 5 star discounting those two comments.

I should have attempted to reverse the ceiling fan. I had it set for down air, maybe lifting would have been cooler. Will investigate or get a box fan for upstairs. Were you thinking about a curtain in the upstairs or main shower? Thanks Jim

Immaculate, comfortable, mountain treasure
Clean, comfortable, spacious, quiet mountain home located in a convenient location. 4 family members took advantage of the hot tub, washer/dryer, BBQ in this quiet and serene forest setting. Comfortable beds, spacious layout, easy parking, and fully loaded kitchen, this house had it all. Jim welcomed us upon arrival and made sure that our needs were met and questions answered. He recommended good beaches, hikes and other points of interest to make our short week a slice of heaven. Would not hesitate to rent this home again.

Great hospitality and convenience
Our group had an excellent weekend stay for a ski trip at nearby Northstar. We had plenty of room, enjoyed hanging out in the common areas, and took advantage of the hot tub in the middle of a snow storm. We also really appreciated the owner's hospitality - he was welcoming and accommodating. One bit of constructive feedback - some of the kitchen appliances could use updating (old pots and pans, for example), but those should be an easy update (and may not be used by everyone). All things considered, we were happy with our decision and would certainly consider coming back for our next trip to Tahoe.
