Ok
Did not enjoy the home. It is cluttered in design, and the kitchen was a nightmare. Some of the items in there would be considered trash . I really wanted to love it, but there was no balcony furniture for the family to gather outside.The home was not clean!

AMAZING Tahoe Home
The pictures of this place are beautiful, but they do not even do it justice. From the moment we walked up to see a sled out front with a tiny hill, our boys were in heaven. We enjoyed the spacious kitchen, fun games in the garage, and hot tub with incredible views. The location is very convenient to Tahoe City (rentals at Tahoe Daves), Northstar, and Palisades. We even found a fun sledding place nearby too (Granlibakken). The bathrooms and kitchen were very stocked and the host was super responsive. We honestly cannot say enough great things about our stay, and really hope to stay here again soon! :)

Great place in a great location
We enjoyed this spacious home close to plenty of ski resorts and activities. There are a number of cooks in our group and we found just about everything we needed in the well-stocked kitchen. The cozy living room was our gathering place and we got a lot of use out of the fireplace. The hot tub was a popular attraction as well. Bathrooms are equipped with shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. Check out the master bathroom - it is huge and very modern! Overall, a wonderful place for our group to gather!

Beautiful modern & well-stocked home
Nice, newer home with a great deck, BBQ and partial lake views. Very comfy and really well stocked. Hate when the home has 1 roll of toilet paper, no shampoo/conditioner or no dishwasher soap. Not this home, they thought of everything!
Nice layout, adjustable HVAC, large TVs (Sunday NFL was a breeze). Modern bathrooms. This home was a pleasure. Would def stay again!
