Wonderful Group Getaway!

This lodge was PERFECT for our friend group getaway. Lots of beds, bathrooms, and of course, the hot tub! The backyard was spacious and had an awesome treehouse. We will definitely consider the location next time we come to Tahoe!

perfect vacation home

We had the most incredible stay at the Secret Garden Lodge, it's even better than it looks in pictures. The house is so spacious and well-equipped, perfect for our big family. The backyard is stunning, full of beautiful trees (and baby squirrels everywhere!), and a perfect hot tub. Super comfy beds, just a comfy house in general. Loved it, will be back!

Great stay!

We had a great time! We stayed over Easter and arrived to a cozy winter wonderland. The warm fire was on awaiting us and the house was nice and clean. The appliances all seemed brand new and the back yard was great for the kids to play in even full of snow. Great distance to enjoy Garwoods and Kings beach for dinners out.

Perfect Summer Rental

We couldn't have dreamt of a more beautiful and convenient rental for our family. Though it's only steps from the beach and restaurants, the house felt like a secluded retreat, with spacious bedrooms and living areas and a fully decked-out kitchen and outdoor grill. Extra credit for the huge back yard with tree house for kids! We will definitely be back.

Great home for the whole family!

The location of the home was perfect. Hiking trails, beach and coffee shops all within walking distance. The kitchen was perfect for all of us to hang out, cook or visit on the back porch. The little ones, spent a lot of time in the tree house, they loved the bunk beds and we were grateful for the high chair! Thank you for sharing your home, it worked out perfect for our family.

Secret Garden Lodge

We loved our time at this beautiful house. The location is perfect, you can walk to the beach in Carnelian Bay, mini golf and Garwoods. The house is very well taken care of and maintained, and it had everything that we needed for 2 families to be comfortable. The backyard is spectacular and a great area to hang out. The tree house and jacuzzi made it even better. Definitely our dream vacation home in a perfect location! Tahoe Getaways communicated very efficiently and everything was very straight forward. We would definitely stay here again!

An Absolute Dream

This place was so beautiful. From the layout to the decor to the backyard… I would literally use this home for reference in building my own home. The place was well stocked with cookware, utensils, and even spices. The soaps that were provided smelled so so good and there was plenty of towels for our large group. The hot tub was a nice amenity as well. We were pretty bummed we couldn't use the fire pit outside, but considering everything else was great, it's hardly a concern. It's walking distance to a dog beach, restaurant and gas station. Nice little walking trails too. My only complaint is that there were old pizza boxes still in the oven. I will be keeping an eye out for this place when we visit again cause it was perfect!
