About this property
Igloo Alley in Tahoe City - walk to town
Enjoy your Tahoe vacation in this large family home in a desired location of Tahoe City. This home has a large backyard and backs up to the Tahoe City golf course. Walking distance to downtown Tahoe City and Commons beach, and only minutes to major ski resorts. In the winter the course turns into a community winter park with Nordic skiing, snowshoeing and sledding right out the back door. In the summer, walk to Tahoe City, bike the trails along the lake or to Palisades Tahoe, or have a BBQ in the lovely backyard.
This large single story home is perfect for the entire family's enjoyment. Sit back and relax and relish in the famous local family memorabilia. The main living room has a nice gas log fireplace and plenty of seating for movie night. There is seating for 12 for dining, and a fully stocked retro kitchen that you will fall in love with, and with, two supermarkets available within 1 mile; you can stock up on your way in for you may never want to leave!
Ten people (two families or a group of friends) will have lots of space to sleep here, with 5 bedrooms, and 4 bathrooms, everyone will enjoy their own space.

Christmas decorations made us feel like we were visiting Grandma for the holidays. Kitchen was well equipped for our holiday cooking. Historical and family touches brought back many memories of past generations in my family.

Great location and facilities, 10 minute walk to downtown Tahoe City. Five minute drive to Safeway and 15 minutes to Alpine Ski resort. View of the lake too! Plenty of bathrooms and storage spaces. Kitchen has all of your needs for a large family gathering. Spacious bedrooms and plenty of deck/yard space. Beds, linens and towels were first rate. Only issues were minor plumbing problems between the kitchen and laundry room utility sinks. TV reception was not great, but we really did not watch it anyway. Played cards and games every night. Tahoe Rental Management Team responded quickly and was very professional. I would rent again or highly recommend to another.

The location of the house is absolutely ideal. Walking distance to trails, lakeside restaurants and tucked away in the woods with an enormous beautiful yard surrounded by trees. I loved waking up every morning seeing the lake outside the dining room window. They have ice skating down below at the Golf Course Clubhouse for families. I loved learning the history of the home when reading the books they have and sitting by the fire. Our family loved staying here for Christmas and the kids had a blast! Will definitely be renting again!

Reviewer Comments:
This was our second time renting this property, previously in the snow of winter and recently in the sunny summer. This house is a very comfortable, well equipped place that is very centrally located so that it is possible to walk to Commons Beach on the shore of the Lake, the golf course which parallel the back property line, the zip line course at Granlibakken, many restaurants in Tahoe City as well as Safeway and CVS. The house is clean and well equipped, the beds comfortable, and the patio furniture/grill in the back of the house are perfect for relaxing outside any time of the day. Our first stay was during “Snowmaggedon” in December 2021. Despite the fact that there was two-three feet of new snow daily for almost our entire stay, the house was warm, the drying room inside the house worked great, and the snow removal service came daily so despite the enormous amount of snowfall, we had no trouble getting out to the multiple local ski resorts. If you dream of a mountain chalet with high vaulted ceilings and enormous picture windows, this place is not for you. But, if you want a very functional, comfortable, convenient base for a Tahoe vacation independent of the time of year for a group of couples or a multi-generational family celebration, you should seriously consider this property.
It was my wish to have everyone together for the holidays but that is harder as adult children take on partners with families they also want to spend time with so we picked two weeks before the holiday for the kids, their partners and dogs to stay with us and my mom (85) who moved in last March. Igloo Alley was perfect. Everyone had their own bedroom and bathroom, the three who had to work found quiet corners to be productive, the kitchen was well stocked so we cooked nearly every day and even continued our 30+ year holiday cookie painting party. We walked to town or to groceries effortlessly and watched holiday movies and listened to Christmas carols while enjoying the beautiful view. This house gave me my Christmas wish early. Thank you. We will all be back.
Host was very accommodating and even left a little surprise package for us. Made for an unforgettable snowboarding trip, the house was well maintained and comfortable. Clean and very accessible in a great area.

Perfect Tahoe getaway
Plenty of space for 3 families with kids. We had a private sledding hill and snowshoeing right outside the back door. Easy walk into downdown Tahoe City for food, shopping and taking a walk by the lake. Definately coming back!

Spacious house with lake view!
We had a big group(10 people), so didn't have much choice. We are glad that we found this lake view house with 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. It's easy to access and very close to either Northstar or Squaw Valley. We enjoyed staying here for a weekend ski trip!

Location, location, location. The house is close to everything. And the views were just amazing. The backyard connecting to the golf course turned into a huge playground for my kids. It was a great escape from the smoke and we loved our stay.

Excellent getaway
This house is amazing. Lots of space with a homey feel. It has all the amenities so it feels like home. It's located in a great spot. Close to skiing, Truckee, Kings Beach and shopping. I would recommend it to families who want to spend time together. Plenty of room.
Very clean and spacious. Beautiful backyard. So peaceful. Large driveway. Our 5 year old daughter learned to ride her bike there. Had a blast!

Amazing vacation home!
The house is truly amazing. Went with a group of friends for a long weekend and could not have had a better time. The house has so much history it was fun to be a small part of that. The house was big enough for us all to have our own space and came with all the amenities one would need for a vacation. Perfect location for skiing and walking into town for dinner and shopping. Walking distance to the lake made this house the perfect spot for our getaway. Thank you for opening your amazing home to guests like me. Cannot wait to book my next trip back.
This property was big enough to fit our big group. It has everything you need. I believe I was the first traveler in VRBO so I would suggest to put basics like oil, shampoo and soap. Other than that, what a fantastic place, we kept of playing all the games we found at the house. Thanks for your hospitality!

Funky, cool, spacious house with sneaky great view of the lake.
Perfect place for our family of four. We had two different families join us at different times of the week. Kids were happy to have friends close by, and grown ups were happy to have plenty of space. Loved walking to Pete and Peters (bar) and other establishments in Tahoe City. Super easy to get to Squaw and Alpine. We like the charm of the place and some of the family/ history that the owners have displayed on the walls. Look forward to returning next year.

Perfect for large families.....kid friendly!
We chose this rental for a Christmas get-away for our extended family, ages 2 months to 64. The home is comfortable and roomy – enough space for personal privacy, and also for family togetherness during meals and playtime. The spacious backyard was perfect for our grandkids to play in the snow while we watched them through the picture window while enjoying the warmth of the home. Very close to amenities – we walked to town and also the school playground, and the kids enjoyed an afternoon at the ice skating rink. You know a trip has been a success when your adult kids all say “Let’s come back again!” We will definitely return to Igloo Alley!

Loved the location of the house. Very close to shops/groceries. We arrived after the big atmospheric storms. Driveway was shoveled and had no issues parking. Plenty of space, dishes, pots/pans. Having the warming room for ski equipment was a plus.The house could be more modernized tho. I had an unpleasant experience that kept me uneasy for 3 days. The first morning, I saw a mouse in the back Master Bedroom that scared/startled me. I did not want to alarm to other families and just moved all our food/bags in the kitchen to higher grounds. It might be good get an exterminator in.
