Great location and a cozy vibe!

We had a great stay at this charming house. We enjoyed the amenities and relished in the peace and quiet of the neighborhood. We also experienced a short drive nearby shopping and restaurants. The snow was cleared when we arrived which created a very welcoming environment.

Fun stay in Carnelian Bay

Well-maintained property; great for a family. Only minor issue was the Nest thermostat didn’t work well — heat was off when we got there and kept turning off every few hours.

Great little house in a perfect location

From start to finish, the experience booking and staying at this rental was great! My point of contact, Bethany, was very responsive and helpful with all of the questions I had. This was a really well equipped rental. The kitchen may have honestly been one of the best equipped rental kitchens I’ve used. Paper products and extra blankets and towels were very well stocked and we really didn’t want for anything extra. The fireplace is such a cozy touch and the whole place felt very comfortable and homey. Most importantly during ski season, the hot tub was size-able enough for all 5 of us adults, and the heat in the house was strong and warmed us up quickly! I’d definitely stay here again.

Very well equipped kitchen and organized

This is the most well equipped and clean rental I have ever encountered in Tahoe. It is clear the owners take good care of the property. I really appreciated having adequate cookware, storage bowls, a nice set of kitchen knives, etc. There were plenty of towels. I would have appreciated an extra set of bed linens since the washer/dryer is so small. Also, we were only give 1.5 roles of toilet paper for the full week, which we ran out of at the end of our stay. Other than that, the cabin is wonderful! Very nice place to stay.

Classic A Frame Feel with Modern Touches

This property is a charming Lake Tahoe stay. Very clean, with a good layout. A lot of the finish appears new and thoughtful, for example, great marble work in many places and a large pebble floor in the upstairs shower (you get a massage while you shower). Public access to the lake is about a block down the hill. The kitchen has all the tools you could wish for, but didn’t have any provisions beyond salt and pepper. Not a big deal, but if you’re going to cook, you’ll need to provision the basics. We loved this place and we will stay again.
