It was so much fun to stay in this house with our big family - lots of space for teenagers to spread out (bunk rooms & guest house) but also congregate all together for meals together and games in the living room. Not bad to be directly across the street from Lake Tahoe either! ##### Lori M. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Abby B. 16 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Family Trip to Tahoe Fantastic location right by the water! We were looking forward to paddle boarding right in the morning and the location was perfect. We could easily walk across the road right to the water. Enjoy the beautiful lake right from the porch. Traffic was a little loud but being next to the water allows you to overlook that. Great in-laws quarters above the garage. The house was extremely well situated with everything you could need and close by to lots of great restaurants. Great bunk room for the kids. Loved the additional option of late check out (fee) if available! We’ll definitely be back! ##### Abby B. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### kelly b. 8 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy This lovely Westshore lake home is in the perfect location. We were able to walk across the street with boards to paddle every morning. While there is some street noise, I believe the house has double paned windows as it was perfectly quiet with the windows closed. The house is clean and neat. I would have enjoyed more closet access for hanging clothes but that is a small detail. Kitchen is lovely. Living room super comfortable. ##### kelly b.
