Location was great.
Beds are comfy.
House needs some serious maintenance and updating.
Overall it was ok.
We really enjoyed our stay. We have a very anxious dog, and typically he is antsy to be in places where there is sign of other dogs. In this case, he had no issues at all. The place was clean, instructions straightforward, and location was perfect for a getaway. We also liked the ambience and interior decoration of the cabin. It had a vacation vibe.

Reviewer Comments:
Nice location in a friendly neighborhood. We appreciated the older style cabin without stairs to access the main entry for a family member with mobility challenges. Great BBQ and outdoor dining area was enjoyed by our family. Upstairs rooms were beautiful and spacious. Downstairs is a bit crowded with two large beds! We did two day trips to Erhman Mansion and Meeks Bay but otherwise relaxed at the cabin. Overall a nice getaway spot.

Tahoe Rental Company
While the cabin was in need of significant repair outside, it was decent enough inside. The hot tub was great. The pet fee seemed exorbitant.
The batteries for both the front door and back door electronic touchpads to get inside, died, and without cell phone reception, it was challenging to let the rental company know.
Our biggest frustration was the inability to communicate with Tahoe Rental Company in a timely fashion due to cell reception. Rather than wait until the hour before check in to receive the entry code, it would be far more comforting and convenient to get it before we leave the house to travel to the location.
Questions I asked were very vaguely answered, and we had a whole list of stuff to do upon departure that I felt our cleaning fee should have covered. I panicked because I forgot to push the start button on the dishwasher, and called about it on our way home. Most of the time we were at the cabin, I was concerned that we would not do something right and be charged extra fees because of it.
The BOOK of instructions was not only TOO MUCH INFORMATION, it was downright conflicting info. In several sections.
This was our first poor experience with a VRBO, though Lake Tahoe itself and the weather were perfect - rain, hail, thunderstorm and all!

Pungent Smell Overrides this Nice Cabin

Rented on the first hot day of the year, walked in about 7pm, and was smacked in the face with a pungent dog ****/body odor near the couch, stairs, and whole upstairs area. Revolting. It aired out a bit overnight with the windows open but the smell came back the next day with a vengeance. Stayed on the lower level thankfully so we didn't have to deal with the smell. Texted management and they sent a guy over, he said he could smell it but it smelled like apricot but was a bad odor. He said he didn't have anything for the smell but put down baking soda to try to help. It didn't. My husband threw up when we came home after that from the smell. We found an Air Wick plug-in and that helped keep the stench away to bearable levels on the last 2 days we were there out of 5. There is water damaged wood all along the upper roof line of each side of the cabin and some downstairs near the kitchen. There was a ladder on the side of the house and a tarp on the top of the cabin, so roof work was being done or needed to be repaired. Maybe the smell came from that. Everything else was nice. Clean, well kept, and had a nice welcoming ambiance. Everything worked without problems including the stove, shower, lights (there are several switches everywhere and it takes a couple tries to figure all them out), locks (took a second to figure out the deadbolt), tv (took a min to figure out), heater, and the Jacuzzi that we really enjoyed each night. Other than the smell, it would be nice to have the closest in the downstairs room to use to hang clothes (it was full of stuff), at least one extra garbage bag, one recycle bag, a roll of toilet paper for each night stay in each bathroom, laundry detergent, dish washer detergent, and cooking oil. The pictures downstairs by the dining table are held up with duct tape and look to about to fall, those should be hung properly. Management responded quickly through text, even when I locked the keys in the house. Would not stay again due to the smell.

The cabin was exactly as described. Met all our needs. The bear wires that prevent break-ins were not a problem. Although small, it had everything we wanted including a larger area in the back. One note, although the property limits parking, the parking limitation on the streets is for the winter months. Walkable to lake. Hot tub and BBQ available and easy to use. Steep stairs to the upstairs.

If you love the west shore this is a good location. Not far from Tahoe city close to Emerald Bay. We only used the upstairs bedroom but it was comfortable. We had a weird cold snap for August and used the fireplace a lot- very cozy!

Cute and cozy cabin in the woods. They installed a new range during our stay and it’s an amazing one! Pet friendly and neighbors are very nice too. Great location. Rental company was wonderful to work with.
This cabin is a perfect location between North and South Lake Tahoe. It’s out of the busyness and very quiet. The jacuzzi was so nice on cold evenings and mornings. It was a perfect layout for our family with 3 adult kids. Very easy access to all of Lake Tahoe, especially Emerald Bay and other areas south and west.

Stayed for the snowiest winter in history. It was a blast.
This property is fabulous! We loved the location and access to activities!
The property was outstanding! The “bear garbage” was FULL when we arrived (which left us little space for OUR garbage). The upstairs beds were amazingly comfortable! The downstairs beds and fold out couch were not very comfortable. The interior decorating was top notch! We will definitely stay here again!!
The cabin was well equipped and very clean. It was great for my family. We cooked thanksgiving dinner in the kitchen. The kitchen had just about everything we needed. We would definitely stay here again.
