It’s a beautiful place, in a great community The cabin is equipped with everything you need and more. The only negative is no Air conditioning, which I knew about. But we hit it at a very hot time and there was no breeze at all. Not the owners fault, but it did make it pretty uncomfortable at night. The fans helped and they have a lot of fans, so that was nice. Otherwise the place is amazing! I’d rent it again and let others know about it. Thanks for letting us enjoy you beautiful cabin.

One of our favorites in tahoe so far!

Great location, well-stocked kitchen, and a great layout! We stayed with 3 couples, 3 babies, and a nanny and we had plenty of space! Can't wait to return!

Wonderful Family Home!

This house had everything our three families needed for a comfortable and wonderful Thanksgiving week in Tahoe! The kitchen is fully stocked, and the living room/dining area is nice and open, allowing lots of people to comfortably lounge between the rooms. I would absolutely stay there again, and I highly recommend it to others.
