Everything was as advertised. We styed in a nice cabin with all amenities and access to the lake and a hill for sledding behind the house were a bonus.

Another great stay!
This property is just right for us. Wonderful view and location just far enough away from the city to feel good. Plenty of amenities. Unfortunately they were doing 24/7 road construction just next to the property, but they moved far enough away in a day or two and it was fine after that. Nothing to be done and not owner's fault. Lake was full which always makes it nice. Already booked for next year!

Ideal location
Amazing location! Great spot for a family summer vacation. The outdoor spaces are so awesome. The large porch, big grassy area, the swing set, the boat house deck, access to paddle boat and kayak, and of course the lake! Hard to beat this combo. The inside of the house is quite outdated, but it’s a decent amount of space, well equipped, and seemed pretty clean. We would have preferred a slightly more updated interior, and upgraded bedding/pillows, but the location and outside features made up for where the house was slightly lacking. I think we’ll be back!

Lovely
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this cottage. We loved the wrap around porch with a perfect view of the lake. The yard was amazing; we only wished for some comfortable chairs down on the grass and especially on the boat house deck. We ended up purchasing some on our own to use and donating them to the house. The kitchen was well appointed and easy to cook some fantastic dinners! We could see some updates were being made to the doors ( with the pieces of wood we had to step over to go outside) but that was a small price to pay for the comfort of our stay. We will be back.

very disappointing
Sorry Erin, I was so disappointed when i walked into your cabin. There is so much deferred maintenance there. Carpets were full of black stains, door screens hanging by a thread,slider did not lock, many, many other problems. Needs an upstairs window covering as main road is so close to the property, anybody can see in. The very next day I went out looking for another place to stay. Because I prepaid for 4 nights, I stuck it out. I am returning to the Lake, but would not stay at your cabin again. You were so nice on the phone that i didn't want to complain.

Great location, cute house
Let me start by saying that I would absolutely book this home again. The lakefront location absolutely can not be beat. It is serene and beautiful and the views are unmatched. Access to the rooftop of the boathouse is definitely a huge plus. It’s the perfect place to hang out and enjoy the beauty that is Lake Tahoe. The house is well appointed, and even the pull out couches are extremely comfortable. We were a bit surprised to see that the upstairs bathroom did not have a door, so there was a bit of maneuvering to make things work out with 7 of us staying in the house. There is the one bedroom upstairs, and the stairs are immediately out the door, so if you’re staying with young children I would keep that in mind. I know my kids, and they are a bit of kamikazes sometimes so I might be a little bit nervous staying with younger ones. The water heater kept up extremely well with a large group, which was definitely a plus. Kitchen has enough pots and pans and dishes to cook and serve food. There was also a blender, some electric skillets, and a regular coffee maker. There is a Safeway nearby for any grocery needs, and multiple 7-Eleven‘s if you just need something small and quick. It is a short drive in to Kings Beach where there are more food options, tenders and easy drive into Incline Village and the state line area with casinos. Erin was attentive and quick to respond to a couple questions, so that was greatly appreciated. For the price and the location this house is a definite find. I hope to come back with my family soon so they can also experience the beauty that is Lake Tahoe.

Perfect Family Vacation
We had a great time and everything was as pictured. The home is older and a bit disorganized but cozy. The amenities were great. We used the paddle boat and kayaks. There were only 2 life jackets in the house which was fine for us given we only had 1 person under 12yo. I was surprised there were no beach towels and we ended up purchasing some which was fine since we drove vs flying. The bugs were to be expected but a bit too much for me at times, lots of spiders in the house. It wasn’t the cleanest place I’ve ever stayed inOverall we had a great time and will hopefully revisit in the future.

September long weekend
The outdoor living space and amenities are unbelievable! The pictures do not capture the deck, grassy area or the lake access. Our group of two couples was comfortable with the indoor living space. The kitchen was well equipped — the only suggestion would be a few more coffee cups. I would absolutely stay again!

Cozy home with amazing Lake Tahoe views and access! We stayed over Thanksgiving and it was a perfect weekend refuge. Was great for a winter stay, can only imagine how perfect a summertime visit would be. Super close walk to GarWoods for drinks or dinner. Extremely comfortable beds too!

Lakeside Paradise
We rented this two bedroom house to ring in my son’s third birthday, and it was perfect. The house was clean and is nicer than the photos. The view was gorgeous. The best part was the direct lake access and large, shaded backyard. We had a piñata for him in the backyard. We used the owners paddle boat and took him out on the lake, which we all loved. Seeing Lake Tahoe from the water was a first for me; it’s so beautiful and peaceful. We also loved the swing set that overlooks the lake, which has an adult seat and toddler seat. This was the perfect spot to celebrate his 3rd birthday. Thank you, Erin and family!

This is our second time to stay at this property so that means we just love this place! It's perfect for kids especially now that the weather is warmer. They were in the water almost all day. The owner and her family were very welcoming. Check-in and check-out were easy as usual. We're actually going back again in September!

Amazing Host! Wonderful outdoor space
We took a last minute 2 night much needed break and we are so grateful to Erin for making our short stay worth every second from check in, to assistance with our watercraft she was so responsive, we felt welcome before we even arrived. We love Tahoe in the summer and this home was perfect being right on the lake. Our kids enjoyed the water toys, crawdad fishing, skipping rocks into the evening and jumping off the private dock for a swim. My kids loved the swings and chilling under the pine trees which offered lots of shade. We also enjoyed warming up on the sunbathing deck after a swim and watching the sunset in the evening. We can’t wait to be back again for a longer stay. THANK YOU Erin!

This property is right on the water with water toys and a sundeck. I was awesome. The house is small but seems large with a big living area. Erin is a wonderful host, we had an incident that was our fault and she was very kind with having us fix it. She was very available and helpful. I would definitely stay there again.
