Great vacation house for a family vacation

The house is beautiful and is accurately represented in the listing. Plenty of room for 8 guests. We loved sitting on the comfortable patio furniture on covered deck and the hot tub was a life saver after a long day of skiing. Kitchen and living room are perfect for entertaining. We will definitely visit again.

We had a wonderful week at Tahoe! We loved the house! It was clean, modern-rustic, wonderful beds and linens, good bathroom and kitchen supplies, spacious, comfortable sectional leather couch, warm fireplace, fun hot tub, nice outdoor grill, great neighborhood, and short drive to the base of the Palisades. We would definitely rent this house again!

Wow, what an amazing home!

Thank you for sharing this beautiful home with us! We had such a great time. We were surprised to find a large flat backyard with aspen trees ( not pictured) with a hammock, cornhole game, dart board… Great location, private and quiet, yet so close to the village. The patio is awesome for outdoors dining and just relaxing. Loved the hot tub after a day of hiking and exploring. Inside everything is new, kids had fun in the bunk room with their own play area, adults enjoyed time in the living room. 3 families had enough space to spread out but also enjoy time together. We highly recommend this home and we’ll definitely be back. Thank you Tahoe Signature Properties for the awesome service!
