Fireside Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"This was a fun location to stay at. We enjoyed all of the amenities that the lodge offered."

HEAVENLY-Waterfront-Mtn Views-HotTub-Pool Table-Dock

8/10 Good

"We recently stayed at this property with a large family group and overall had a good experience. The location is excellent, and the house is very well equipped for large gatherings. There were plenty of appliances, ample seating on the patio, garage and driveway parking, and lots of entertainment options including games and a pool table. The home is especially well suited for families with children, with many child-friendly items available. It is a great setup for large families, particularly during winter months when outdoor activities may be limited.Future guests should be aware: 1) Obtain and print the rental agreement before your arrival. The person named on the rental agreement must be present and able to provide identification in order to access the community facilities. We were not aware of this requirement before our stay and were therefore unable to use the pool and other amenities as our group had planned. 2) The listing states there is space for four boats. During our stay, only two spaces were available because the other two slips were occupied by boats that were being leased. Guests planning to bring multiple watercraft should verify availability in advance.Overall, the property worked well for our group and has many strengths. With clearer communication regarding amenity access and clarification of boat slip availability, it would be an excellent choice for large families visiting Lake Tahoe."

3 BDRM 2 Bath Cottage in South Lake Tahoe Walking Distance to Great Restaurants

8/10 Good

"Our weekend stay was defined by an excellent interior and top-tier hospitality. The house is beautiful interior design with lovely communal areas and private sleeping quarters. What truly sets this cottage apart is how exceptionally well-stocked it is—we were greeted by an abundance of towels, a very generous supply of everything we needed, and a completely outfitted kitchen with high-grade cookware and appliances. Setting an example for other VRBO hosts!Our host was highly communicative and proactive. When the VRBO website suffered a major outage during check-in, leaving us without instructions, the host immediately stepped in and did everything possible to manually guide us inside. We don't blame them at all for the platform's glitch; their rapid response much appreciated.Note that the home sits directly on a very busy street with fast-moving cars, creating substantial noise. Earplugs are highly recommended for light sleepers. Fortunately, the traffic dies down around 9 PM, ensuring peaceful nights. Highly recommended!"

Basecamp Luxury Tahoe Keys waterfront retreat

10/10 Excellent

"This was a fantastic experience! Justin was very communicative and considerate. Even when there was a snafu with the transaction due to a VRBO process failure, Justin stepped up to make the experience smooth. The house was perfect and clean. Very awesome place! Highly recommend!"
