This house was perfect for our annual ski weekend with friends. The 5 of us easily fit in the main house with a separate room for everyone and the game room over the garage was a major bonus. The hosts were great and made check in and out very easy. Would definitely stay here again.
The beds are so incredibly comfortable and the comforters are so soft. I’ve never have such a comfortable bed anywhere I have rented! So good for family and friends. Wow
Great place. Plenty of room for 10 adults. Comfortable beds, nice jacuzzi, plenty of parking in a great neighborhood about 15 minutes from Palisades.

Serene retreat
The listing said that there were 2 bedrooms with queen beds. The one bedroom next to the hall bathroom was only a double bed so that was our disappointment. Hard for two adults to sleep in a double bed. My recommendation would be to change the listing or buy a queen beds for that room. The house was great other than that!! Plenty of room for all and very great place for family to gather. It is a beautiful home. Love all the sunny rooms and lots of beautiful windows.
Serene Retreat was a great location and comfy place to stay. Generally equipped very well, TV’s Sono’s system, games room. It is a little “rental tired” with things looking worn, frying pans, knives etc old and average cleaning service.
3 generations of family members getting together to celebrate our son and grandson’s birthdays. Nice home, great kitchen, game room over the garage a real hit with the kids.
Only drawback for me was the stairs and traffic noise at night.
Enjoyed dinner at the Sunnyside Restaurant.

This house was perfect for my family. We had 4 children 10 and under, 4 parents and 1 grandparent. We all had plenty of room and enjoyed views.
The home was the perfect size, very cozy and comfortable. The location is ideal for getting up and down the west shore and very close to town. I have one suggestion…… I believe it’s time for new towels, hand towels and wash cloths. Everything else was fantastic!! P.J. Scharer
Our annual generational vacation. This year's location, Tahoe.
Great location. Plenty of room. Enjoyed the game room. It was nice to have a paddle board and double water ring to use. We took a lot of our own equipment but appreciated having extra to supplement. Good location for the beaches west of Tahoe city. We particularly love Sand Harbor beach on the northeast corner of Tahoe where our family has spent many summers. The garbage bin was already full when we arrived but this was quickly addressed by the rental agency.
Myself and four friends rented this house for a girl's getaway. The house was a bit tricky to find because there was so much snow and it sits a little bit back from the road. The house was beautiful but is smaller than I expected after looking at the pictures. We all got our own bedrooms and had plenty of room to roam around. Beware that there are a lot of stairs. We had a few minor issues that were quickly addressed via email.

This is a fantastic Tahoe home. Our extended family had a wonderful winter visit. The home is convenient to Tahoe City, Homewood and Granlibakken (for the toddlers). The rooms were comfortable and spacious enough. I appreciated that there were an endless amount of towels available. The home was adequately stocked with kitchen items. The extra family room was a great play area for the kids and their toys leaving the great room tidy for the adults.

A fantastic home and rental experience! The home was spotless and well maintained. The management company was responsive throughout the process of renting, checkin, and check out. This is a large home with comfy bed, linens, plenty of dishes to cook and serve meals. The separate bunkroom/pool table quarters over the garage was a hit with our teenage grandkids. The primary bedroom was large and on the first floor, with 4 more bedrooms on the second floor. One bedroom on the second floor has an attached bathroom and another full bath on the second floor to accommodate the other bedrooms.The outdoor area was perfect for our grandkids to build a snowman and play in the snow.An excellent family vacation home to make lasting memories!!

Beautiful home for our group of 10. Plenty of room for everyone, nice amenities. The garbage bear box is extremely small but that is the case for the entire neighborhood, not just this home. Overall a nice rental.

This house was perfect for our family. It was spacious and clean. We loved the hot tub and fireplace and used the game room often. We would stay here again!
Great location and great kitchen. We loved having the big dining table in the kitchen for dinner and games. We also made good use of the area in front. Would definitely stay here again.
This home was the perfect gathering spot for our family reunion. So clean and comfortable, and a great location. We can’t wait to come back in the summer!
