Perfect stay!
We had a great time in this cozy home! It was perfectly situated between all of the things we wanted to do while in Lake Tahoe. Everything was very clean and the fireplace was the PERFECT touch for the first snow day of the season! The neighborhood is quiet and quaint. Would definitely recommend for a couples trip!

Fantastic location and loved the property. The only slight complaint is that there are only two uncomfortable outside chairs on the deck. We would liked to have more comfortable outside seating to accommodate all of us.

Great value near homewood
This was a good value for the price as the location is very convenient to homewood. Our only complaint is the lack of a dishwasher, the loud noises from the heating unit, and the lack of two twins for kids (as opposed to one double in the 2nd bedroom). Otherwise it was clean and nice and I appreciate the quality of the cookware and dishes compared to other units

Family trip to Tahoe
We gather in Homewood with our family every year. We stayed in the Bear's Den in Tahoma which was only 4 miles from our gathering. It is also very close to Meeks Bay, where we met our adult kids and grandkids for the day. The Cabin was perfect for the two of us but would also accomondate another couple or kids if needed. Everything was clean and well stocked with the basics. We would stay there again.

Had everything you needed. Needed a bit of work on the property, following the winter, couple of broken fence panels and the winter shutters still up on one window. Inside the property was fantastic, had everything you needed for a comfortable stay. Kitchen was well equipped with all the pans you would need.

Good but could be better
Lovely cottage in a great neighborhood close to Homewood Ski Mountain, local restaurants/markets and a short drive to Tahoe City. Beds were comfortable , bathroom was well stocked with towels etc. Driveway was plowed and could easily accommodate 2 or 3 cars. Checking in was a breeze. A few things that would make the experience better: The kitchen / great room is a great space with soaring soaring ceilings. The challenge is that there was only one heat vent in the ceiling above the cabinets (that we could find) to heat the largest open space in the home. To get adequate heat in that area the back half of the house was too warm. The listing advertised a “coffee maker”, well there is indeed a coffee maker however it is an old school stovetop percolator that I had to Google how to operate. I would have expected a “Cuisinart coffee maker” that is more modern and easily operable. The kitchen also lacked glassware but there were an abundance of spices etc in the cabinets (go figure). Overall a good stay but definitely not worth the price compared to others homes we’ve stayed at in the area this year.

Customer Service and Winter Safety Issues
While we have enjoyed this property in the past, customer service and winter safety issues have made it so I will not rent from this property management company again. Our anticipated arrival coincided with a severe winter weather warning. We called to ask if we could arrive just one hour earlier so as to avoid being on the summit or on the road in severe weather. The company said they would have to follow protocol and eventually emailed us well after a time that would have allowed us to leave early, meaning we ended up on the road at the worst of the storm. Later, the neighbor informed me that the property had been empty that day, so this was not an issue of cleaning - just disregard for our situation. Second, on arrival at the house we found that no firewood. The house has a heat system, but it was inadequate for the conditions and power was flickering regularly in the storm. Luckily, a kind neighbor provided us with firewood. While I am sure the company will say that it was our decision to travel at such a time and we should have inquired about firewood, a company that manages remote properties in severe winter conditions certainly could demonstrate more care for the safety of its customers. If a severe weather refund is not available, more specific guidance and support to navigate the conditions would have simply been kind and humane. I hope the owners of this lovely property will consider finding a different management company.

We loved this property so much! The house was nice and clean and up to date. Full kitchen with all the bells and whistles. Close to nice coffee shops and restaurants.

Nice Tahoe getaway
Great house in our favorite neighborhood, have been vacationing in Tahoma for years. Nice sized bedrooms, comfortable beds, house is nicely decorated and was very clean. Overall the house has all you need, but if you do plan on doing a lot of cooking "in", may want to bring a couple of extra pans (there were only 2, cast iron, and a sauce pan). Not a huge deal, but there is also not a dishwasher. Enjoyed the house, would definitely stay again.

Cute Tahoe cabin
This was a great place to stay for a long weekend in Tahoe. The proximity to hiking trails and beaches made it easy to maximize on outdoor activities. The location is also very close to a market if you wish to cook for yourself rather than go out to eat. The property was very clean and cozy and stocked with the essentials to allow for a comfortable stay.
