We would recommend NOT staying during the summer. NO AC and the house stays at about 80 all day. We bought a box fan to help circulate the air and donated it to the house. The deck was ok, but faces South so it’s very HOT all day. The carpet in the bedrooms is very old and stained. \*\*\* there is a serious lack of parking especially when all the neighbors are parked on the street. The BBQ propane was empty!! Garbage bin was full from last visitors. The toaster only toasts one side of the bread. The ice maker did not work, but I fixed that. There is plenty of pots, pans and dishes for cooking, but the stove is a hassle to keep lit . There’s a nice 9 hole golf course and it actually has really good food. ##### Jeff T.

Tahoe Getaway This property was perfect in layout, square footage, and location. Great walkability to stores, the shore, and fitness walking and just far enough away from the busyness to be private and serene. There's a honey-do list that needs attending (new grill, bev fridge, main floor couch, downstairs shower curtain, pocket door in primary bedroom bath) but those are easy and a local handyman could shore that up in a day or two. Despite the honey-do list I'd stay here again and recommend it to groups ranging in size from 4 to 8. ##### Emily N.

Our youngest two loved the bunk beds, and our teen liked having her own room. The layout and location were great. Sledding and playing in the snow was all walkable within a block from the home, and the parking in the garage kept our car snow-free. All the photos and descriptions were accurate. Very close to restaurants, Kings Beach and grocery shopping. We had a few small hiccups - the wifi information that was sent was totally incorrect (wrong network name and wrong password). We located the router and thankfully it had the network/password listed. Several items of furniture were broken/damaged (dining chairs). There were bags of trash from previous guests left in the garage. Overall this was one of our best VRBO stays, and we would definitely stay here again! ##### Matthew G.

The house surpassed our expectations and was so comfortable for our family. Having an extra room downstairs for the kids was a bonus and the main space upstairs was roomy, accessible and very family friendly. Loved that the house was somewhat shaded and stayed fairly cool a good part of the day. The deck was lovely and the master suite was great. We received quick responses when we had questions or concerns. We already rented the house again for next summer. Thank you for a fabulous vacation. ##### Rick B.

My sister's family I my family both stayed in this house for three nights. We had a wonderful time and really enjoyed this house. The house is very clean and well equipped. The location was great for the kids to play in the snow and to the local restaurnats and Safeway which is right around the corner. the kids really liked playing in the snow in the backyard and on the golf course the house back up to. We will definitley come back to this house as it suited all our needs and was very comfortable. This is a beutiful new home in a great location in Northlake Tahoe. I would highly recommend this place to any of my friends. ##### Christopher L. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Teresa D. 2 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great cabin near the lake We stayed at Tiger Chalet for several days after Christmas. The cabin has a lot of space. The kitchen/ family room is very cosy. The furniture is very comfortable. Everything is well maintained and the kitchen is stocked with a lot of dishes and pots/pans. We made dinner at the cabin each night and that worked out great. The Safeway is right down the street and there are many ski resorts nearby. There wasn’t much snow on the ground when we were there. But we went skiing at Mt Rose and there were plenty of open runs. Tahoe Dave’s was amazing to rent skis. We just rented for the day with the option to keep our equipment for another day. Northstar was fun to visit for nightlife in the evening. It’s nice having the lake close by. Definitely recommend! ##### Teresa D.

It was surface clean. There were dirty dishes in the cabinets. The furniture was really broken, and the couch has never met a vacuum. The toilet broke while we were there which was no surprise as it was held together with garbage bag ties. I really wanted to enjoy this house considering the great location, but the house is just not maintained. ##### Koreen D. Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2023 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 6/10 Okay 9 Feb 2013 #### Has some issues The house is comfortable but we had major issues with hot water. The hot water shuts off in all the showers within minutes. We could not figure out how or why this was happening but it was such an inconvenience. Also it would have been nice to have a real burning fireplace while in the mountains. Given the fact that this home is of relatively new construction I am surprised that the house has an electric fireplace in the living room. Overall, nice, but I would not rent this house again. ### 8/10 Good #### Carly W. 27 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great spot, lots of amenities, but could use some improvements Had a great weekend here with some girlfriends,however,tragedy almost struck when the curtain rod in the downstairs bathroom fell when one of us was in the shower. Luckily nobody was gravely injured, but head injuries, especially in the shower,are pretty bad news & could really ruin a weekend. The pantry & fridge had lots of partially used stuff that was handy (coffee,tea,flour,sugar,mayo,white wine,ketchup). However, there were lots of lightbulbs out (above the master bathroom tub-again a safety issue) & some under the kitchen cabinets. The hot water was only lukewarm in the master shower, which was unfortunate because then we had to use the shower downstairs with the broken curtain rod. The owner responded eventually, saying the downstairs shower was an odd size & that it’s been an issue for a while, evidenced by the fact that it had previously been glued back together, but they sell multiple sized tension rods on amazon, so I’m not sure it was that hard to fix. The toilet paper holder in the same bathroom also came out of the wall, so the downstairs bathroom definitely needs some help. Overall,the place itself was great, I’m just disappointed we paid so much per night because there were definitely some improvements needed for such a high rental rate. ##### Carly W. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Jen W. 10 Mar 2024 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy #### Not as Described!! Go Somewhere Else! This is NOT a “spotlessly clean,” “luxury” chalet with a hot tub. When rented, we limited the search to properties with hot tubs; this had that box checked. It does NOT have a hot tub, but there's one between it and the neighbor’s house. When the neighbors partied in it late one night, we knew it wasn't ours. To compensate, our host asked if we wanted them to ask the neighbors if we could go in their hot tub. We declined (think Saltburn bath). The property does have two small jacuzzi-style bathtubs. The listing also had a game room with a pool table, but no room or table exists. Additionally, the counters were smeared with grease, scuff marks on the walls were patched but not repainted and then scuffed over again, there was dirt on the entryway bench and floor, a mirror was cracked and taped over, the cabinets in the kitchen were misaligned, Teflon-scratched pans filled the cupboards, the kitchen faucet leaked and was stuck in spray mode, faucets in the bathroom leaked at the base, hairballs were brushed under the rug in the bathroom, a half-ripped open box of Valentine's chocolates was left out, and one of the rooms had broken blinds and no privacy. The house isn't bad, but it's fallen into disrepair. Though apologies were given, no compensation was offered; we still had to pay a $300 cleaning fee, a non-refundable $59 damage fee, and a refundable $500 deposit. There are far better, more honestly described properties around the lake with hot tubs that cost less: go there! ##### Jen W.

The home could use some TLC to rise to the occasion that the location provides. The railing for the upstairs deck was loose and seemed unsafe so our young kids did not get to enjoy the deck as much as we would have hoped. The table umbrella only provided some shade to a deck that was sunny most of the day, while the well shaded yard did not have any table or sitting area. These may not typically be an issue with the customarily perfect weather, but we visited during a particularly hot time for the area, and without an air conditioner (and only one small fan indoors) we were looking for escapes from the heat in the shady/breezy areas. Ceiling fans would also be a welcome addition for the warmer times, but we understand that this may not the norm in this area and could be costly. Additionally, the fence separating the yard from the neighbors yard had fallen down, so did not provide any privacy or safety for our kids to play. We’ve been lucky to stay at a number of VRBO houses and have come to expect certain creature comforts, some of which, like a blender, working cable/satellite (the dish had swung to point down) and wine opener, were lacking. We did appreciate the beach chairs and beach toys that were at the house, and understand these types of things are never guaranteed. With a bit of work and investment in some small, but important, items around the house, this could be a wonderful place to stay for many families to come. ##### Jessica S.

The description was accurate, the owners were responsive, but we had some issues that tainted our vacation. The distance to King's Beach is 1 mile but still too far to carry your needed items for a day at the beach so you end up driving anyway. The Safeway grocery store was conveniently located 0.7 miles away. The large living room/dining area and kitchen was great for family time while cooking and eating. We had continuous issues with getting hot water for a shower. After 1-2 minutes it would go completely cold and we would have to shut it off and wait for a couple minutes. Sometimes it came back on but there were several times it did not and we had to either finish with a cold shower or reset the instant hot water device. We travelled with 4 teenager boys and had no cable for 6 out of the 7 days we were there. I had to meet with the cable company 4 times (one of which they never showed) and spent a couple hours on the phone with them over the week. I understand this was not in the owner's control, but I would have appreciated compensation for the time I spent getting them their new cable hardware and equipment. We were offered a free night but I would not stay in this home again. Another issue was the road noise. Very loud all night so having the windows open for fresh mountain air was not an option without ear plugs to sleep. There were also heavy smokers in the house next to us and every time we opened a window the house was filled with cigarette smoke. The cookware was old and the non-stick coatings were flaking off into the food so we were limited on what pans we could use. Some of the pans still had food on them from previous renter's use. The outside table was caked with old food and took about 20 minutes to get clean upon our arrival. The house was OK but not nearly as nice as the one we stayed in the previous summer so we will go back to that one for our future vacations. ##### Camille K. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Crystal I. 22 Aug 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Updated home in great location My group, 3 adults and 2 kids, stayed in this beautiful home for 7 nights and absolutely loved it. There was more than enough space for everyone and the location is awesome. You are walking distance to Kings Beach, restaurants and even Safeway! My family and I would definitely consider staying here again. ##### Crystal I. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2022 ---
