A great weekend getaway

The pre-trip communications were very helpful. The house was the perfect space for my group - 12 guys on a bachelor trip. The amenities were a nice to have. The location was perfect for our activities - Truckee, trail hiking, boat day, and beach activities all within 20 minute drive. 10/10 would stay again! Thanks Bob & RJ!

Couldn't have asked for a better place!!!

We had a large group celebrating a birthday and "The Bunker" couldn't have been better. Bob and Bill were the best hosts and were there if we had any questions. There are so many highlights of the house, but the patio was perfect for group dinners and s'mores. Awesome rooms & plenty of comfy beds. The location was epic being 20 mins from the lake and 2 minutes from Squaw. I don't know when, but I do know we'll find another reason to stay at "The Bunker!" Thank you again!

So many issues - house needs help and service was poor

We paid a very high price for this 'luxury' property with a great location... it was not at all worth it. When we arrived there was a smoke alarm squeaking, a filter warning on the fridge, and a disconnected cable box (direct TV) that wasn't working. We called about these issues - someone came out to change the smoke alarm (it wasn't a replaceable battery that we could have changed ourselves). They never did figure out the cable -- it was listed as an amenity but was not available. Those smaller annoyances were just the beginning. The hot water heater broke and we didn't have hot water the last two days of our stay and the heat was broken in the downstairs bedroom - which was 52 degrees and was essentially not usable. We called about the heat and the hot water a number of times; the person who answered told us that someone would get in touch with us and while they did finally call us back (I unfortunately missed the call), we never heard back again despite calling both numbers they left multiple times. With no hot water and no heat and a number of other issues (forgot to mention the leaky sink in the middle bathroom or the broken dishwasher door)... you'd think they'd make a little bit more of an effort to help out. We've been offered no discounts or apologies. The house needs repair. I should say that when the water stopped working we went to see if the pilot light was out on the water heater and found a note left from a plumber dated earlier this year outlining all of the problems -- so they knew there was an issue with the water heater that either the owners or property managers didn't fix. That's really not acceptable. This property is poorly kept and overpriced. Stay somewhere else.

Beautifully furnished home

My friends and I stayed here for 3 nights in July and we had a wonderful stay! The kitchen is well stocked w cooking utensils and pots/pans. The furniture was modern & new. The Olympic village is a short 3 minute drive & Tahoe City was a 10 min drive. We would definitely recommend staying here!

We had an amazing time from cooking , sitting in the hot tub, grilling, the family hanging out on the beautiful deck, getting a massage on the massage chair. Enjoyed the sauna. The kids loved the Netflix while we cooked and we enjoyed playing card games. Just what we needed and easily fit for all 20 of us comfortably. Bev responded to us promptly and very kind. Very clean and had everything you could think of kitchen was tidy and well equipped, bathrooms were clean with towels and soap. Had great shampoo and conditioner products. Our family were here from out of town and were very impressed the amenities nearby. Had a perfect day at the lake. We will definitely come back again. Thank you! ❤️❤️

Mixed

I do not typically leave mixed reviews, but if I’m being honest I need to do so here. On the positive side, they made an exception to their normal rental guidelines, which made the stay possible, and the owner (Bob) was very nice. It was a nice place and the group had a good time. On the less positive side, we had some issues arise from ineffective communication somewhere between the property managers and the owner. Also, the owner lives on site and was a bit too ‘present’ at times (though very nice). Lastly, property managers have been slow to respond to a follow up about an item we think we left behind; (Wife/husband team; Bev responsive, Tuck not so much). Our issues may have been unique, so maybe others need not be concerned, but the issues we encountered detracted from the experience. I will leave it at that and spare you a long write up of all the details.

Lapsed communication, solid result

When our group of 17 arrived in Tahoe to check in, Bev and Tuck informed us that they had booked the property to another group and that we could not stay there. So unfortunately, we did not get to stay in this particular home, which seems from the other reviews to be a great place to stay! After suggesting we stay in a few other properties under their management - which unfortunately were not comparable to this property - Bev and Tuck were kind enough to call a friend of theirs, Charlie, who luckily had a property available. Charlie's house on Lanny Ln was absolutely wonderful, and our group had a great time. We appreciate that Bev and Tuck reached out to Charlie, and we would like to thank Charlie for accommodating us on short notice in his beautiful home.
