Great stay for our family! It was conveniently located a short drive away from the ski resort. The house was big enough for our group of 12. The kitchen was very well equipped and the house was well supplied. Communication was excellent. Would definitely stay here again!

A great weekend getaway

The pre-trip communications were very helpful. The house was the perfect space for my group - 12 guys on a bachelor trip. The amenities were a nice to have. The location was perfect for our activities - Truckee, trail hiking, boat day, and beach activities all within 20 minute drive. 10/10 would stay again! Thanks Bob & RJ!

Great vacation home

We had a great stay in this unique home in Palisades. The location, not far from the resort, was ideal. The house was supplied with all the amenities and the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare amazing meals for our large group. The huge front patio, hot tub, and fire pit gave us extra room to spread out and enjoy the beautiful weather. Our host, Bob, was extremely helpful and accommodating; we had no issues but knew he would be super responsive if there was an issue.

So many issues - house needs help and service was poor

We paid a very high price for this 'luxury' property with a great location... it was not at all worth it. When we arrived there was a smoke alarm squeaking, a filter warning on the fridge, and a disconnected cable box (direct TV) that wasn't working. We called about these issues - someone came out to change the smoke alarm (it wasn't a replaceable battery that we could have changed ourselves). They never did figure out the cable -- it was listed as an amenity but was not available. Those smaller annoyances were just the beginning. The hot water heater broke and we didn't have hot water the last two days of our stay and the heat was broken in the downstairs bedroom - which was 52 degrees and was essentially not usable. We called about the heat and the hot water a number of times; the person who answered told us that someone would get in touch with us and while they did finally call us back (I unfortunately missed the call), we never heard back again despite calling both numbers they left multiple times. With no hot water and no heat and a number of other issues (forgot to mention the leaky sink in the middle bathroom or the broken dishwasher door)... you'd think they'd make a little bit more of an effort to help out. We've been offered no discounts or apologies. The house needs repair. I should say that when the water stopped working we went to see if the pilot light was out on the water heater and found a note left from a plumber dated earlier this year outlining all of the problems -- so they knew there was an issue with the water heater that either the owners or property managers didn't fix. That's really not acceptable. This property is poorly kept and overpriced. Stay somewhere else.

Great location in Olympic Valley

This house is in an absolutely perfect location for Palisades skiing, a very short drive from the parking there (and shops and restaurants too). The best thing about the house itself is the great, large common area, with essentially two living room areas and the kitchen all in one. Perfect for the whole travel group to hang out together. The kitchen is very modern and incredibly well provisioned for cooking. The hot tub is also really nice and was already heated to a cozy 104, and felt nice in the middle of a snow storm. The description of the house on VRBO isn’t totally accurate, though. It’s actually a 5 bedroom house, with a master, a kind of weird extra bedroom that is connected to the master via the master bathroom (with no other path to the rest of the house), two bunk rooms with a total of 8 beds, and another bedroom at the lower level which is shown in the photos, but which was locked and inaccessible to us (which was kind of misleading but not an issue for us since we didn’t need that space). A few weird issues with electrical items, which in the end seemed like blown fuses (more difficult to fix given lack of proper labels on the fuse box). Overhead lights in the master bedroom, dishwasher and garbage disposal all were out until some fuse box fiddling. Power also went out for an evening, but that was a neighborhood issue due to a storm, so nothing to do with the house itself. (In connection with that, we discovered that calling the central Vacasa — the rental agency — customer service is totally useless, but they do have local reps who are more helpful so get in touch with them about issues instead.) Sometime during our stay DirecTV also went out, but that was probably just because of the really bad storm (whether clouds blocking the satellite or snow on the dish). As is probably obvious by now, there was a big storm during our stay which had some negative impacts. Overall though, especially considering those circumstances, the house was very nice.

The patio is huge and our room had access to the patio (rooms w bunk beds) the beds were so comfy , pillows are hotel quality. The kitchen is fully equipped with whatever cookware you may need. Very short drive to the entrance of Shirley Lake Trail which is quite enjoyable! It’s mostly uphill and we stopped at the 2st waterfalls about 20 minutes on the hike and took beautiful photos ! Save mart grocery is a short drive and they have everything! Thanks for the wonderful weekend spent bonding with our family!

Very clean and had everything you could think of kitchen was tidy and well equipped, bathrooms were clean with towels and soap. Had great shampoo and conditioner products.

Mixed

I do not typically leave mixed reviews, but if I’m being honest I need to do so here. On the positive side, they made an exception to their normal rental guidelines, which made the stay possible, and the owner (Bob) was very nice. It was a nice place and the group had a good time. On the less positive side, we had some issues arise from ineffective communication somewhere between the property managers and the owner. Also, the owner lives on site and was a bit too ‘present’ at times (though very nice). Lastly, property managers have been slow to respond to a follow up about an item we think we left behind; (Wife/husband team; Bev responsive, Tuck not so much). Our issues may have been unique, so maybe others need not be concerned, but the issues we encountered detracted from the experience. I will leave it at that and spare you a long write up of all the details.

Lapsed communication, solid result

When our group of 17 arrived in Tahoe to check in, Bev and Tuck informed us that they had booked the property to another group and that we could not stay there. So unfortunately, we did not get to stay in this particular home, which seems from the other reviews to be a great place to stay! After suggesting we stay in a few other properties under their management - which unfortunately were not comparable to this property - Bev and Tuck were kind enough to call a friend of theirs, Charlie, who luckily had a property available. Charlie's house on Lanny Ln was absolutely wonderful, and our group had a great time. We appreciate that Bev and Tuck reached out to Charlie, and we would like to thank Charlie for accommodating us on short notice in his beautiful home.
