Had a peaceful time with my son, the water right outside the porch sounds like the ocean at night and great place to skip stones and unplug

Christmas 2024 visit
Views of the lake were spectacular and would come back for another visit. A few suggestions for the owner to consider, would be to upgrade the cable service to include premium apps like Netflix and Hulu so guests can login to their account and watch movies and shows.

Anniversary getaway
Pros: Beautiful view,great location, Good communication with host,
Cons: sewer backed up for half Our stay, Refrigerator very loud Motor (Husband), Heater fireplace motor loud (wife).
If the sewer problem got fixed, I would highly recommend this place but because I know that’s a lot of work being a contractor (won’t get fixed) I probably will not come back to this location.
Still lots of potential for future business

Beautiful spot
Great rustic cabin in a beautiful spot. Steps to the water. Views are amazing. Clean and well stocked other than linens.
We were only left 4 towels and 2 face cloths for a 5 day/4 night stay. I had messages rhe manager prior to arrival to assure that they provided all linens.
We reached out to the management company to get more but was told no.
We had also been told there was laundry on site which was not true so we weren’t able to wash them and reuse. We had to go buy new ones.
Disappointing because had we known we would not be left appropriate quantities we would have brought our own.

80th Birthday
Everyone was so helpful, on the back nine for us for sure.
Had a wonderful spring day, and almost 7 “ of snow on my birthday. We have spent all of our birthdays and in September, it will be our 60 th anniversary at Tahoe Vista. Great summer vacations, thank you all, for some wonderful memories.
