It was a little warm during our stay, so no AC was a tad uncomfortable during the day. Neighborhood was quiet. Upstairs bathroom is in one of the bedrooms, so that was a little awkward for our family. But overall we enjoyed the stay. ##### Mendi N.

The moment we stepped in we loved it right away. Had everything we needed. You can tell the owner put a lot of thought into it (ex: heater/ac unit in each room). It rained the whole weekend but we made the best of it in a great property. Tahoma is a wonderful place to stay if you want to get away from crowds and tourists. The fancy hot tub was a big plus ! ##### Deidra C.

Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 14 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Enjoyed our time at Tahoe! We very much enjoyed our stay! The house was updated and clean and was very warm and welcoming. Our daughters loved the doll house in the upstairs bedroom which kept them entertained for hours. Our only disappointment was that the house had a new hot tub (that looked amazing!) but we were not allowed to use it. Also I would have greatly appreciated access to some beach equipment such as beach towels, beach chairs, etc. since we did not fly out with these items from Chicago. After communicating with management, I was told the house had beach towels but I could not locate them. Overall we had a great stay and we would definitely come back in the future if we make it to Tahoe again. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 This review is from a guest who booked and stayed through a partner site and can't be verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Russell L. 28 Jun 2024 #### Tahoma stay Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: House was nice with with good amenities, but the back yard and patio were under construction/renovation....would have been nice to be warned of this as we were unable to enjoy the rear yard/grill/patio during our 9 day stay. 2nd floor bath had a water leak (rugs were soaked upon our arrival). Contacted rental company who responded quickly, but attempt to fix leak wasn't done until the last day of our 9 day stay...still leaked after repair (had no cold water in sink for 9 days). 2nd floor shower had not been cleaned prior to our arrival, nor had gas grill, but I guess they thought we wouldn't use grill due to condition of rear yard/patio. ##### Russell L.

The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Well appointed, great location. Downstairs bed is like sleeping in a hammock (if you like that then this is the bed for you). This is our second time at this property and one of the beds was replaced from last year, along with its squeaky bed frame, so that was an upgrade from last stay. The backyard is torn up and under construction (tarped piles and plywood to walk across the ground to get to the BBQ) that wasn’t mentioned anywhere on the listing, so that was a disappointing aesthetic to the yard, however, we saw a new hot tub in the yard and thought we could overlook the construction of yard if that meant we could get in the jacuzzi, but it wasn’t setup yet (another bummer). The upstairs AC unit made terrible noises and I informed the management via text and NEVER received a reply for the entire time we were there. The welcome gift bag was a nice touch that was added from our last stay. The checkout process expects you to wash all dishes, laundry started, strip beds and empty all the trash, so be prepared to handle all of that by 10 AM on day of departure. ##### Kelli S. ### 10/10 Excellent #### luke d. 10 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Core memories!

Stayed 9 nights in Jun 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### domenic a. 15 Jun 2023 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### half of a rental The place was relatively clean except for the persistent smell of body odor on the beds and blankets. The biggest disappointment was that there was no useable furniture outside. Two picnic tables were there but they were broken into pieces. There were no chairs, no leaves or branches were raked, no propane tank for the bbq. So, the weather was beautiful but we could not enjoy sitting, eating or drinking outside of the home...something we had hoped for. We paid to rent the entire home but only could use half, the inside. In fairness, we should be given a refund for not being able to use the outside of the home since it is advertised in that manner. Last point, VRBO rentals are getting out of hand with "cleaning fees" and "cleaning instructions". This owner had a long list of cleaning instructions for the guests "strip beds, load washing machine, load dishwasher, wipe down counters, take out trash..." which would be fine except that they are charging a hefty cleaning fee. So, they want us to clean and also to pay someone else to clean -- this practice is wrong. You can't have it both ways; either I pay someone to clean or I do it. I don't get penalized for not cleaning my hotel room or bed and breakfast room...so, why should VRBO be able to continue charging for this practice? The location of the home was nice. Neighborhood was quiet. In general the place was fine but the owners and rental managers need to deliver what is promised and paid for in advance. ##### domenic a.

The house is well stocked with everything we needed in a small quiet neighborhood close to the bike paths. We brought some of our own but they have many games to choose from to play. We loved the the back patio for morning coffee, dinner and drinks. I'm only giving an overall 4 stars due to the fact the heater did not initially work when we arrived, which was a loose wire, we fixed on our own, a leg on the chair in the living room was so wobbly we were afraid to sit on it, we also fixed that. They charge a hefty cleaning fee yet they ask you to even strip the beds and start laundry (which we did) before departure. We always leave rentals as we find them so it didn't bother us but you should be aware. Overall it is a great property and we would love to visit again. I cannot forget to mention the neighborhood dog Kya that visited us on the patio every night. We are dog lovers so we really got excited to see her every night. If you are looking to relax enjoy the lake and mountains, this is your place! ##### Kristina W.
