Perfect family getaway house!

Our family of grandparents, adult children and grandchildren …and 2 dogs… had a wonderful stay. The living area was huge with lots of seating. The kitchen was over the top stocked with dinnerware and glasses, and any device you could imagine x 3. It was so close to Tahoe City for anything we needed, and minutes from Commins Beach, playground, x-country ski area, and off leash area for dogs. Hot tub was a plus!

What a perfect cabin for a large group! The house is very spacious, thoughtfully laid out, and impressively well organized and stocked. From the fully equipped kitchen to the ample seating areas, everything made hosting our big group feel easy and comfortable.We especially appreciated that each bedroom has its own attached bathroom, which gave every family plenty of privacy and made mornings so much smoother. The common areas were large enough for everyone to gather without ever feeling crowded.The kids absolutely loved their bunk bed room — it quickly became their happy hangout spot and made the trip even more special for them.Overall, the home was clean, welcoming, and designed with larger groups in mind. We had such a wonderful stay and would gladly come back again!

It was a great property for our annual family Lake trip. It was well stocked and there was plenty of room for everyone. The kitchen was perfect for cooking big family meals and the dining table big enough for everyone to eat together and for game nights. We played ping pong, enjoyed the hot tub, and rode bikes. The property management team was very responsive when we had a minor issue and we are already looking at going back.

Loved this home!

We were three families who came for ski week and loved our stay at this home. It was beyond well stocked in every way and incredibly comfortable. There was more than enough room for everyone to spread out and wonderful spaces for everyone to come together (dining table for 12, large wraparound sectionals, large hot tub, etc). We would stay here again in a heartbeat.
