Cousin’s trip

We had a blast, the kitchen was well equipped. The furniture is a little old, not enough towels for our group of 11.. but other than that.. the cabin was a nice place for our all girls trip. We would stay again.

10/10 Excellent

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
The host was attentive. The home is privately owned and contained lots of amenities perfect for Thanksgiving. Lots of kitchenware and appliances, chargers, extra towels, toilet paper, napkins, there was bathroom essentials and courtesy detergent. Close to Tahoe City which isn’t as crowded as the Heavenly village area and has lots of great places to eat. There are other cabins close by kinda like a residential cabin area and hiking and snow surrounds cabins in late November. Grill outside with propane was perfect for grilling. Double oven stove. Family games and we left a 1000 piece puzzle. Tvs in all rooms and a great kids room with bunk beds and two twin singles perfect to connect the ps. We would definitely book again!
