We had a wonderful time. The chalet was so adorable and cozy. A great place to relax and enjoy the natural setting of Lake Tahoe. I loved the smell of cedar walking into the unit. Had an amazing time.

Cute little place with a lot of personal touches. The craftsmanship throughout the whole place was outstanding. Clean upon arrival and a very friendly host. Just be aware that the living space is on top of a garage. There is a very narrow staircase going up there. The view from the balcony was super pretty.

Nice place, It was a warmer day for the Tahoe area, so the chalet was quite warm when we checked in, late afternoon, after look for the a/c control in realized there was no a/c. After opening the windows and get the provided electric fans, the building soon cooled off. In fact the outside air soon cooled to the point in need to close the windows. No a/c was actually needed.Nice visit to the area
