Family ski vacation
The house and location exceeded expectations. The house was like new and fully equipped for guests to enjoy, including beautiful towels and good WiFi. Tahoe Getaways provided great service. The Mountaineer Shuttle service made our daily commute to the lifts very easy, door to door.
