Enjoy the perfect combination of rustic charm and contemporary touches in this beautiful cabin just south of Tahoe City proper. With warm wood accents and a beautiful wood fireplace, this retreat will be just the place for year-round fun! Whether you have come to soak up the sun on the sand or want to shred fresh powder at one of the world-famous ski resorts, there will be no delay in fun to be had. Though venturing out will provide ample amusement, this home base has everything needed to have a cookout in the backyard as the sun starts to slip behind the trees. Not to mention the fully equipped kitchen also awaits to whip up a warm meal on chilly winter nights. Don't worry about being disconnected, as this home also has free WiFi and flatscreen TVs for your convenience.
This home will offer the perfect amount of seclusion while still being close to all of the action. With Tahoe City just two and a half miles from your front door, grabbing a bite to eat or checking out the pristine sand and blue water at Commons Beach will be a breeze. If you brought along the kiddos, don't hesitate to head over to Tahoe Treetop Adventure Parks for some zip-lining. Not to mention, the hiking and biking trails around the lake are all amazing. Come winter, the skiers will love making their way to Scott Peak or Homewood Mountain both less than four miles away.

Awesome place
Cabin was great, well stocked, great location. Only downsides are as follows:Floors were dirty and needed to be swept upon arrival. Not a big deal.There’s a jacuzzi in 2 of the property’s pictures and it was one of the reasons I chose the property. It wasn’t until later that I saw a note about the hot tub being unavailable. I feel like they shouldn’t include any hot tub pictures if it isn’t a feature you’ll get to utilize.All in all, great property and would return for another visit.

Dark, gloomy and outdated
This place was so dark. Each room had one light and was very gloomy as the lights were not bright. The rooms lacked outlets so it was hard to charge our phones/electronic devices. Everything creaked and was very outdated. Some of the bathrooms had no locks and the doors did not fit the frame so you could see through the crack. The front door did not lock from the inside so it was dangerous for our 2 year old who wanted to open the door since there was no way to lock it from the inside. It only was locked from the outside (PIN number).
When we got there, the entire front yard was trashed and there was garbage everywhere. So gross. We took pictures. I can’t believe they would rent out the place looking so trashy.
The Wi-Fi also did not work so we spent 2 hours trying to reach customer service but the calls kept failing due to lack of Wi-Fi. It was so frustrating!
We received an email to extend check out (which was 10 am btw) and the link kept on saying error. I tried calling that same day and was on hold for over an hour. I quit trying after that and tried again the next day only to sit on hold another 30 min and finally reach someone who said they couldn’t assist and if the option was available I would get a link. I explained that I did get a link but it keeps saying error. Trying to contact them was a total nightmare. It is a company called Vacasa and they clearly do NOT care as much as a privately owned rental. I would NOT ever recommend using a rental by them.

Great Location
We stayed at this home with 3 families. The house is bigger than you think but also still cozy. We have a great time. We wished the kitchen was better stocked for cooking and the restrooms had locks otherwise no complaints.

Unacceptable issues and injuries sustained
I am requesting a full refund for my recent stay. From the moment we arrived, our trip was riddled with issues. The house was dark, and freezing. There were no instructions anywhere for operation of heaters or thermostats. There was also no firewood to attempt to heat the home. We located space heaters throughout the house that we turned on, and immediately went to the store to purchase firewood so our children were somewhat comfortable. The poor design of the chimney and flue just resulted in smoke filtering through the house which took over a day to dissipate. Within 2 hours of arriving, an upstairs toilet was flushed and water poured over the bowl, ran into the next room, and dumped through the floor to the dining room in the lower level. We used the few towels in the home to sop up the toilet water. We then proceeded to wash the towels to find there was no laundry detergent. So that resulted in a second trip to the store which would later prove to be pointless because after 3 hours of running the dryer, the towels still did not dry. We also called to ask for help and none was provided. It was not until 3pm the following day were we provided with a plumber and fresh towels so we coukdnt shower that morning. We opted to leave the house as much as possible to spare everyone the embarrassment of the home we decided to rent for our family holiday. After a solid day and a half, the heat finally started to pick up. We could not get the wall heater in the upstairs bedroom to work, but in opening it, found a dead rat. I’m certain this is not sanitary, and potentially toxic. To top all of this off, without any warnings in an apparent child-friendly home, my son burned his foot on the hallway floor vent - a severe burn that sent him screaming and left him with undeniable burn scars. This house needs significant improvements to be rentable. I am not seeking medical damages and not pursuing any type of legal action at this time, but am requesting a full refund. I have photos of some of the issues we encountered including my sons foot, the dead rat, and the toilet water on the dining room floor and bathroom. I look forward to your prompt response.

We had a great time and everything was perfect! Great location where you can walk or drive to several different activities. Having the fire at night when it got cooler was a definite plus. Only thing missing was the lock code for the hot tub in the check-in materials.

Wonderful Stay
We had an amazing time in this house. The size was perfect for the 6 of us, and there was plenty of bathrooms. It was perfectly clean and nicely set up for us when we arrived. The house was also stocked with almost everything you would need except food. My only complaints are that the boat took up almost half of the parking space so we had trouble fitting cars and the house is right on the highway so the sound was fairly constant. I would have liked for this to be disclosed on the listing but otherwise, everything was wonderful.

No Communication or Information
This is nice cabin, although a bit dark with all the knotty pine. Nice location too with a big yard for sitting out. The problem is with the management company. We were charged for a hot tub, yet it had a lock on it without a code. We couldn't get TVs to work, no instructions on cable info. It's been nearly three weeks and I still have not heard back from Vacasa or VRBO despite numerous emails and calls asking for assistance. This is the last time I will use VRBO or Vacasa since their customer service is so poor. Because they've chosen to ignore my requests, I'll have to deal with VISA to get a refund for things I was charged for yet couldn't use. Shame on you, Vacasa and VRBO.
