Beautiful views in a peaceful part of Tahoe
We loved the views of the lake from the property from both levels. The host was very communicative and left great instructions for how to get the most enjoyment out of our time there. The part of Tahoe it is in is very peaceful and we really enjoyed not being on the busy side of the lake. Everything we needed was well stocked and did I mention the views! The kids also enjoyed the pool table which added mom and dads peace. Thanks for sharing your property with us!

Had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend at this wonderful house overlooking Lake Tahoe. Close to hikes and gorgeous landscapes. Plenty of sleeping and relaxing space for our group -- the kitchen gets crowded with more than 2 or 3. Just a great place to relax and unwind.

Unique mountainside cabin with incredible views
This property is on the west shore centrally located between South Lake Tahoe and Truckee. It’s a 20 minute drive in each direction. The property is beautiful and we would stay there again in a heartbeat. Precautions have been taken at the property to address any bear concerns. We did see a sow and cubs less than 100 yards from the property while staying there. I don’t think the pics on VRBO do this place justice. Really, really nice cabin vibe in the mountains at this property with all the modern amenities. This property is built on a steep grade so there are stairs from the parking area to the house and stairs from level 1 to level 2. If you have difficulty with stairs, this property could be a challenge for you. For us it was great!

Amazing all the way around
What an amazing house! The views were insane. The house is really nicely spaced out. Perfect for a few couples to enjoy and still have some privacy. Had everything we needed to enjoy a much needed get away. Tahoe is gorgeous. The property owners were super communicative and easy going. Cannot wait to book another stay.

Time Away With Family
Our family took a trip to Tahoe to have a Celebration of Life event for my Father. This property was wonderful, well kept, in a great location (can easily see the lake from deck), and had all the amenities needed to enjoy our stay. The property owners (Linda & Robert) were quick to respond and provided all the detail needed to make the trip easy. We would stay here again if we come back to Tahoe.

Wonderful stay
Loved staying here—location was great, away from the busy-ness of South Lake Tahoe but close to great hiking in state parks and right next to the lake. The house is very comfortable & has beautiful views from the decks and from the interiors, too. The owner was very helpful and responsive. We’ll definitely stay here again!

Stunning and Serene
We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful spot. It had truly one of the most gorgeous views of Lake Tahoe. The rental is extremely well equipped with much attention to detail. The beds are cozy and the setting peaceful. My family enjoyed barbecuing, playing pool and board games and watching a movie together. Yoga on the deck watching the lake in the early morning was the best. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Peace of mind with a view!
We had such a lovely stay at Linda & Robert's property in Meek's Bay. Tahoma is a smaller, quieter town that is 15-20 minutes from South Lake Tahoe and about 20+ to Tahoe City. We enjoyed this serene part of the lake with hiking trails nearby, a beach you can walk to with kayak/paddleboard rentals, and a bike path across the street that you can take all the way to Tahoe City and beyond. The house itself was very comfortable and plenty of room for the four adults staying. A very unique layout - a dodecagon I learned! (12-sided polygon), with a small kitchen at the center that is newly remodeled and had everything we needed to make fresh-ground coffee and breakfast to enjoy on the lovely deck in the morning. The view from here is wonderful and where we spent most of our time. So much so that we regret not getting to play a round of pool, but hope to return and make good on that one day! Linda was wonderful to work with and very communicative. We felt very welcome and would absolutely recommend this property and location.

Awesome view and cozy cabin
This house was exactly what we were looking for in a quiet weekend away. I think it looks better than the pictures. The view is absolutely incredible. Unique round house with lots of exposed wood and beams. Two wood burning stoves make for a very cozy time. The kitchen is a little dated and small, but is very well equipped. Very nice pans and stove with lots of spices and cooking supplies available. Linda was very easy to get a hold of with any questions. Definitely would stay again!

Breathtaking and dependable
Our stay started in the middle of one of the greatest Tahoe snowstorms and Linda was on top of all the things and got us to the cabin at the first possible instant. Not only she did not quit on us because of snowstorm, she continuously gave updates on the state of the neighborhood roads and ensured that the cabin is ready for arrival despite the incredible weather setbacks. She also was above and beyond with the smaller requests we had while staying in the cabin. I've used VRBO couple dozen times and this was one of the best examples of ownership I've seen, you'd never get it from any sort of enterprise-owned properties. As far as cabin goes, I think pictures don't make it right justice - it's huge, views are incredible, kitchen is stocked with everything you'd ever need. Appliances are new (looked brand new in fact), bathroom finishes are very nice too. There are two stoves and a lot of firewood to keep it warm. The cabin has a unique round design, definitely unusual and interesting to experience, there are no square rooms which seem to create more space inside. Plenty of boardgames for the evenings, 5 min drive to Homewood ski base, lots of forest in the back. I think it backs to some sort of wilderness area, was difficult to tell because of snow. It had plenty of hills to build a sledding slides. Did I mention the views?

Wonderful stay with just a couple of small issues
Overall, we had a wonderful stay. The unique circular design of the house and the high wood ceiling on the second floor make it an interesting stay. The four of us enjoyed just chillin’ on the deck, playing games at the table, and playing pool (the pool table was an excellent amenity). I enjoyed making breakfast in the kitchen and then serving them on the attached bar. Being near the beach and having the beach chairs supplied were also very nice. Also, we were allowed on the property earlier than expected, which was a big help. There was a problem with four spiders in one of the lower bedrooms. Also, the mattress was very concave and sunk it the middle, making it very uncomfortable. My son and his girlfriend moved to the second bedroom on the next night and there were no problems. We didn’t report it since we only were staying two nights so it wasn’t a big bother. We were also surprised at the number of instructions and notices, particularly the one requiring us to start a load of laundry. However, this was our first experience with Vrbo or anything service like that, so perhaps these instructions are a normal thing. However, we had a wonderful stay in a lovely house and would stay again or recommend it to others.

Wonderful stay in this Meek's Bay area house!
Our family of four, including 2 teens, had a wonderful 6 nights here. The location was the best with the ability to walk to Meek's Bay just 0.25 miles (even though parking pass if provided) and swim there almost daily after hiking, biking, or sight-seeing. The place is very clean with a well-stocked kitchen that we utilized to cook nice dinners several nights and enjoy eating them with the best view ever on the deck! Linda is a very communicative host and made sure our visit was enjoyable. We will definitely refer this place and come back again.

Wonderful house in a great location with easy access to the lake and Desolation Wilderness hiking.
We all really enjoyed our stay. The angles to the house structure give the rooms a unique feel and offer great views of the lake. Very clean with all accommodations. The free permit to Meeks Bay Resort allows for a nice walk or drive down to the beach in a beautiful setting. The lighting in the master bath and kitchen sink areas could be improved, but this is a minor issue.
