Steps to the water. Views are amazing. Clean and well stocked other than linens. We were only left 4 towels and 2 face cloths for a 5 day/4 night stay. I had messages rhe manager prior to arrival to assure that they provided all linens. We reached out to the management company to get more but was told no. We had also been told there was laundry on site which was not true so we weren’t able to wash them and reuse. We had to go buy new ones. Disappointing because had we known we would not be left appropriate quantities we would have brought our own. ##### Samantha W. Stayed 4 nights in May 2024 From a partner site ### 2/10 Terrible #### Rose N. 19 Apr 2024 #### Horrible service for Cabin #13 at the Franciscan Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We arrived and found the cabin freezing. The inspection person was just leaving and had turn on the gas stove/fireplace. Went to shower that evening and found the dispensers of shampoo and cream rinse were empty in the shower. Later that evening when the temperature in the cabin was in the 80's we discovered the thermostat was not working. We were able to figure out how to turn off the stove/fireplace but the next morning it was freezing again. We reported the issues to Tahoe North rentals that morning and received a voice mail message from Leila stating they were aware of the problem with the stove/fireplace because the prior renters had reported the issue to them. But the handyman couldn't fix it and were waiting for someone else to fix it. We were not told of this prior to renting the cabin on Saturday, the day before we arrived on Sunday. Also Lella stated that she would bring shampoo and cream rinse by that afternoon. We finally received our shampoo and cream rinse around 6pm after having to make 2 more phone calls starting around 4pm. We left a message for Leila but never received a call back. After our stay we touched base with Kelly Smith, one of the managers, on our disappointing service and he indicted he would make things right. After an offer of 10% off on a one night stay which equated to $23, we have decided to look elsewhere next time we go to Lake Tahoe. We have been renting this same cabin for over 15 years thru the Franciscan and have never received such poor service and experienced problems like this. ##### Rose N.

The little cabin that my friend Sarah found for me was wonderful. The scenery the location everything about it was a great experience. I met a wonderful lady that took me around the surrounding area to visit places I hadn’t seen. Then a wonderful dinner to finish off the stay. ##### Anonymous Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark H. 23 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We enjoyed a nice quiet stay during the "off-season", which is exactly what we were looking for. ##### Mark H.
