Great location with easy access to the mountain and town! The host was easy to reach and very helpful. Our package arrived after our stay ended and to the wrong address. The host was great it helping us locate and ship back to us!
Property accomadated the group very well. Location was great. Kitchen had everything we needed. Owners were very responsive. It was perfect to accomadate everyone's needs.
Had a great stay here, awesome and very responsive host and a nice, cozy home. Very close to Heavenly--close enough to walk if needed! Really well stocked kitchen if you plan to cook plus a nice selection of toys and books for the kids!
Walking Distance to the Heavenly California Lodge Ski Lifts!
Host was super responsive and accommodating. Being walking distance to the Heavenly California lifts saved us from dealing with the difficult parking situation with Heavenly. Parking there can fill up before the lifts even open!
We had a wonderful ski trip to Heavenly, largely due to the quality of the housing. The layout of the home was very good, we never felt crowded in the split-level layout, and the neighborhood was excellent. Walking distance to the California lift for very fit people if carrying all ski equipment, not really possible for the young or old. Communication with the host was excellent, and nothing was lacking in amenities. Hot tub was perfectly maintained, and the bedding and kitchen exceeded expectations. We would absolutely be willing to visit this listing again, as the surroundings were quiet and beautiful, and the housing was relaxing and fun.
Overall my extended family of 8 really enjoyed our stay. The house was comfortable for all of us, and well-equipped with everything we needed (plenty of kitchen items and supplies, towels, bedding, snow shovels and sleds, games, plenty of hot water). It was clean overall though in need of several minor repairs. We did have trouble using the emergency number to contact the owner following snowfall to learn about help with snow removal, and had some difficulty navigating the steep road and access to the driveway during snowy weather. Otherwise location was great as we could walk to the Cal Lodge for skiing and Himmel Haus for dinner, and my kids especially enjoyed playing on the deck and warming up by the fire!
The property is aging and in need of several repairs and maintenance. Downstairs bathroom toilet badly stained . Water service work being done during the stay (which was not disclosed) left us waterless 1st morning of our stay. Be careful on the wooden decks you may get splinters. We did .
Property is an uphill walk 5-7 min (probably not do-able with small cchildren but fine for teens and up) to Heavenly resort (California base) and a 3 min drive into South Lake Tahoe. Host is very responsive and courteous. There are plenty of beds and bedrooms and space to spread out. The hot tub is excellent and the kitchen is a good size, and ghe garage offers space for gear. The hill can get icy if it dumps snow (not the owner's fault) so if you are driving in, ensure you come from the bottom of the hill. Overall had a great experience. We had 8 mid 30-year-olds and we were more than fine walking to the mountain each morning.

Pristine?
I will start with the positives. Great location, one min drive to the Heavenly tram, good communication, nice washer and dryer, and a newish refrigerator. Everything else in the house needs serious attention. Some people just don’t try to make their places “rentable”. The stove is broken, controls have fallen out. Over 1” gap behind the sink where all the grout fell out of the counter. You would have a very difficult time giving the couch away free, my daughter said she broke her butt sitting on it! There was a big wall where it looks like a big piece of art work hung, and they have a Christmas tree ornament hanging there. One bedroom had no shade, so we hung a sheet to block the sun. The bathrooms and kitchen are very outdated. Carpet may be original to 1960. We killed a number of spiders. Overall I would say the place is bare bones as you can get. If they spent $30,000 just doing some basic stuff and getting some furnishings the place could be great.
Thanks,
Ford

great location, but barebones
The property is in a fantastic location if you're here for the skiing, just minutes fro the California base of Heavenly. I enjoyed the quiet back yard and deck. Would not rush to rebook this listing. The property and furnishing are extremely dated and it definitely needs a refresh. Little things were annoying such as the sheets in the master were badly stained and kind of gross and when i requested some replacements got a response that said it was just chlorine stains or something. The couch in the living room was broken and a couple of the cushions were badly sagging. There was a live electric fence on the back porch that is incredibly dangerous if you have kids or pets. The second day I got there the toilet backed up and overflowed. The house didn't have a plunger and it took hours to get a response and then the landlord charged me $200 for coming out to fix it and clean up which I thought was ridiculous. As an ST Rental owner my self I was very disappointed with the quality and responsiveness for this price point One of the worst stays I've had on VRBO.
Had a great time staying at this cabin. Location is great, house was a bit dated. Front door knob was a joke. Overall a good experience but for the price you'd expect it to be perfect and well cared for.
I booked the cabin for a holiday retreat with my grown children and their SOs. We were delayed in arriving due to road closures from storms, but our host, Kayleen, was very accommodating and was able to shift our dates so we could maximize the time we had. The layout of the cabin is great, we felt we had plenty of space. It is walking distance to the lifts at Heavenly, making it very convenient for getting on the mountain. While it appears that the cabin hasn't been updated in a while, it was clean and had everything we needed for our stay.
There are a few not so great reviews that in the beginning made me thing twice. We booked it, we stayed here, and we loved it! Location was great, we got snowed in with the storm so played in the wonderful big backyard area. Hot tub was nice, house was accommodating. Host was very responsive. Great stay! Would stay here again in a heartbeat. My only recommendation would be to possibly clean the hot tub soon, but that’s all i can say other than great house great hosts and a great stay!
Hi, the furniture was bare bones. Internet was suspect throughout the trip. There were a couple rodents (Mice) that decided to hang out with us for the weekend. Light switches definitely need a lot of upgrading.

Nice deck with barbeque and hot tub. Interiors are a bit worn. No air conditioning.
Great property, great location. The only negative thing I would say is that the house could include more fans to cool down the property during the summer, but the wildfires were making it abnormally hot.
This property is accurately described, for the most part, you have to go upstairs to access the main living area, and there is no gas barbecue only charcoal which is not allowed in the summer. It is badly in need of maintenance and a new couch. The deck and hot tub are very nice. Plenty of room for 6-8 people. The beds were comfortable, plenty of towels (no washcloths), and plenty of toilet paper. The kitchen has plenty of plates glassware cooking implements (no large Fry pans, only deep wok style) coffee maker etc. the cupboards are full, there is no where to put any food or snacks other than in the refrigerator. Well the property is dog friendly there is nowhere for them to be outside other than on the deck there is a electric fence on the steps as you leave the gate to go into the back property. So be prepared to walk your dogs in order for them to go potty.
We had one major problem and that was that when we arrived we had no hot water, so I left numerous voice messages on the owners phone which listed in the email for urgent matters I also called the local contact for emergencies and she said that she was the maid and couldn’t help us. So we had no hot water and the owners reply the following day was that we needed to have VRBO find us a new place. We had moved in all of our food and all of our clothing and everything you need for three families with kids so we weren’t about to want to find a new place. After the VRBO people got involved she did get a plumber out and it was an easy fix and she did agree to compensate us a bit for the inconvenience. So it ended well but the owner was not easy to deal with and I felt as though she was being very unreasonable.
