"We had a great week at the Tahoe vacation home. In particular, the common space (living room, dining room and kitchen) on the main floor was wonderful and very comfortable for our family. The kitchen was well-equipped. We liked the fenced yard that was great for my daughter's small dog. Erik was responsive and the check-in process was seamless. Thank you!"
