Almost great

We stayed here and went skiing at Sierra at Tahoe. Great location, Convenient to restaurants and Sierra. Extremely convenient parking right in front of the door. Nice interior. Kids loved the bunkbeds. Nicely decorated and renovated. Only complaints related to noise: the walls are thin and you can easily hear the guests in the next room. Also, the heater is noisy and makes banging noises which woke me up. The kids slept fine and it is their favorite place to stay in Southlake Tahoe.

It was a cozy little room, with good amenities. Only thing is the walls are paper thin, you can hear the room next to you clearly with conversations. It’s was hard to get quiet or peace.

Needs cleaning improvement

We stayed in cottage 2 Bayview, which is a 2 bedroom condo. It’s tiny. It worked for 3 of us, but will be too tight for 4 people for sure. Living area sofa is a two sitter, three people can only fit in sitting tightly close to each other. Kitchenette is fully stocked and very convenient, but lacks dishwasher and hot water has no pressure. In general it’s a newly renovated place nice and modern, but it lacks general cleaning. There is so much dust on the door trim and shelves and watermarks on tiles in the bathroom, looks like cleaners are doing really poor job. I provided my feedback to property management, hopefully they take it to consideration.

We booked this place on Christmas Day for two nights and when we arrived, the place was not cleaned at all - at all…. There were towels everywhere (also on the floor), and the bed was a mess… anything that you can imagine. We called and messaged the contact multiple times to talk about alternatives with no response…. We then subsequently called multiple times and still no response….. We have also reached out to have Expedia to contact the property but also had no resolution. We had no option on that day, but to move to another hotel at the last minute, on the Christmas Day, and of course at an extremely high price. We have contacted the property for a refund, but received no response either. While looking at all the reviews now, it seems this is not the first time the visitor has this issue…. So just be mindful.

Worst place in South Lake Tahoe. AVOID!!!!!

It was absolutey disgusting..to say the least. The beds looked as if they justvrolled out of them 5 seconds prior to me arriving. The trash was full in all rooms, cups and sink were like a toddler was learning how to make coolaide and spilled every lasy drop on the counter... i could feel the bed bugs plotting on me as i walked in. I immediately left and was promised a refund, but have not had any luck getting that back. The "landlord" will not answer any calls.

One of the few times I’ve stayed at a place and had to leave the property and request my money back. Very poor lighting conditions (can’t see much in room at night. Floors weren’t very clean. Top bunk bed didn’t seem sturdy— pulled mattress on floor for daughter to sleep on. Air conditioning did not work, and when we asked how it worked, was told the property didn’t have air-conditioning, which was not advertised. Staying in July w just a ceiling fan did not work for us. On the second night after a long day of activities, we came back to the room and found a weird smell coming from the bathroom. Shower was backed up and had standing water which smelled like sewer/dirty water. Called the next day and was told the plumber would come out. Plumber couldn’t fix the problem and we were told would show up sometime the following week. After so many inconveniences, we decided to pack up and find other accommodations. The property manager/contact was very accommodating and did get back to immediately, which is the only reason I’m giving it more than one star. Unfortunately, I would not recommend staying here in this location.

There is a lot of dust on the cabinet and countertop. The toilet paper box in the toilet should be updated. Everything in the room is the same as in the photos. There is a coffee machine in the room but there are no coffee capsules. There is a pack of opened coffee powder. I raised questions after checking in, but I didn't receive a reply from any landlord
