The home is the perfect "cozy Tahoe cabin" vibe. Overall really loved it. Although a few "know before you go" tips:
1. The summer picture of the house is a bit deceiving- While the detached bedroom is well appointed, it is detached from the main house (it looks like one large house from the pictures). And in snow and cold that was not ideal.
The snow was NOT cleared for us and after traveling 4 hours with toddlers and infants in the car, we had to shovel 6 ft of snow down two long walkways to even get IN to the house. We didn't bother with the detached room on the first night and had to cram and sleep on the floor etc for the first night there.
2. Advertises as a 5 bedroom- but only if you don't want privacy. The detached room is a bedroom with a loft that has two beds in it. So...FYI.
3. I had read previous reviews and noticed they said a lot of the lightbulbs were out. We were surprised when we arrived that sure enough, those bulbs were all still out. Being "snowed in" and not being able to see much out the windows, the room was a bit dark and having better lighting would have been helpful.
4. The appliances need to be updated! Good luck cooking anything and have it come out ok! lol. Also.....only one tiny fry pan, one large pot (no smaller pots to cook soup etc). Needs an update on amenities and, appliances and lightbulbs.
5. For over $1,700 a night, we expected a real coffee pot, not "Motel 6" Keruigs. So while there we went out and bought a coffee pot to use. * Only a Keurig in the detached room too.
6. Was disappointed to learn the fireplace was gas and did not put out any heat to speak of. (But gas fireplace in detached room did! ).
7. Garbage bin was filled to the brim...so we could not put garbage out. (management hadn't emptied it).
Overall, who ever is managing the house is slacking. They came to clear the snow for us on our third day there....long after we took time out of OUR day to shovel 6 ft high snow a good 12 ft.
Again, the house seems like a great fit for a summer vacation and hopefully these things will be taken care of. When paying over $7,000 for three nights, our expectations tend to get higher. When the little things aren't maintained, it robs you of your ability to relax as you are dealing with what should be ready for you....for that price.
Id rent this house again in summer only. And hopefully by then the "little things" will be taken care of .
