Tucked away in a quiet section of Tahoe, guests of this classic home will be able to enjoy close proximity to local restaurants and activities while still taking in the area's natural beauty. Grill up delicious meals on the spacious back deck while the kids run around the enclosed backyard. It'll be easy to go from outdoors cooking to indoors prep, with the conveniently located full kitchen right by the deck entrance. The entire home is ground level, so no one will have to struggle with stairs inside. If you're visiting during the colder seasons, feel free to light up a fire in the wood-burning fireplace and enjoy a board game in the richly furnished sunken living room. The room-darkening shades will ensure that everyone gets enough rest for the next day's adventures.

Things to Know
Tahoe is home to many animals. You may experience bears, raccoons, mice, and other animals. Meadows are home to many rodents. When these areas are filled with water or snow, these animals move to homes in the area. You may experience these animals in or near your home.
Streaming services are available with guest accounts.
Lake Tahoe is a mountain town, and the internet signal is different than in big cities. When there are not a lot of people in town, the internet is high-speed. As the town fills up and people stream, the internet will ebb and flow.

Cannot Recommend

Our last VRBO review was Five Stars. What a disappointment this rental was. Kitchen very poorly supplied, although glasses for every kind of alcohol. Coffee pot couldn't make much other than warm brown water even with special dark roast Sumatra grounds. Dangerous drop down into front room in three places, only one of which was adequately marked. Beds on one bedroom only inches off the floor and no closet in that bedroom. Same room no bed lamp. Slippery floors a hazard for walking. Light switches in odd places, not easily accessed, e.g., hall light switch in the middle of the hall. If using the toilet in the second bathroom best not be claustrophobic. All in all, would not rent again and can't recommend a stay here. Two restaurants on Emerald Bay Blvd. for dining are Sonny's BBQ and Margarita's for delicious Mexican food and drinks with great service. .

An overall miss

I will say that this property from pictures was a good find. Generally it is represented in the photos. However it’s more about what else is/isn’t there that made this rental a miss. One, the neighbors across the street has at least 8 vehicles that are parked in the street on a rotating basis. It can make it difficult to back out of the driveway. The backyard is rough. My older kids utilized a hammock we bought but otherwise could not “play” in the yard. The grill had no tools/utensils so grilling was difficult. There were a lot of other things regarding the property that were a miss: Not enough hangers No dresser in master 2 towels per person per stay No extra beach towels, did include 2 chairs No spices or extras for cooking No storage containers for left overs Tv in living room says “overheated” frequently Only one working remote Does get hot at night. Two box fans provided but loud No fitted sheet on master and only heavy down comforters. No laundry items provided The floors are very creaky and loud Not enough toilet paper/paper towels/dishwasher tabs The stove fan cannot accommodate anything that has a remote amount of “smoke” The garage is a small one car unit. Could not fit an SUV or Truck. Also, the ability to extend your rental to a late check out disappears so if you want it’s do it right away. The communication with the renters, which is a company, was poor and frustrating. There are a lot of rentals in Tahoe for similar prices.

South Lake Tahoe getaway

We appreciated the layout of the house and the amenities it had to offer. The house was centrally located to the things and places we enjoy. We took advantage of walking through the nearby meadow in the mornings. A couple of things to work on would be to fix the screen door that leads to the backyard (kept falling off track) and the vertical blinds( only 5 work). Also the outdoor furniture is not sturdy and BBQ pit did not ignite and no lighter available. Would have liked to hangout doors more if it was possible. We will definitely book this listing again in the future. Thank you.

Tahoe Mountain home

This home is located in a quiet neighborhood, close to some trails, bike paths, and a short drive to restaurants and stores. It has a well-equipped kitchen and comfortable beds. It was a nice spot for our family and a good home base for all kinds of Tahoe adventures.
