When we book this house, we like the way it looked and it was good price however when we arrived at the property we liked even more because this place was very clean very cozy and comfortable and the pictures doesn’t do justice. The owners of this place are great people. We has great communication with them. We stayed during the snow storm of March 1st and unfortunately the roads were closed and couldn’t return home on Sunday however thankfully the host allowed us to stay extra day without charge. I highly recommend this place and would come back in the future.

Everything you’d ever need.
The cabin was great. Very clean when we arrived. Bedrooms and bathrooms were all very well kept. Plenty of towels and toiletries. The owners were very communicative with any questions I had and briefly met the property manager who cleared some now to give us parking for another car. Great location near ski resorts. Would stay here again.

The place was just as described and perfect for our ski vacation. Fully stocked kitchen made it a breeze to cook. Kids loved the living room pit and played there all the time. Property manager was responsive to our questions and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Can’t wait to stay here again on our next trip to North Tahoe.

A great time was had!
We had a great stay at this home. The house is very cozy and warm, We enjoyed the nice fireplace each evening. If you are a bit of a walker, you can walk down to the lake. We did a bit of skiing at both Northstar and Palisades, we enjoyed a trip over to Truckee and to South Lake Tahoe. The house has everything you need, bring yourself and clothes, you will enjoy your time here!

Such a wonderful home!!
I can’t say enough great things! The house was exactly as described and better. Such a peaceful neighborhood. We all felt so welcomed and had the best time being able to enjoy our family time together. The owners and property management were amazing. We had everything we needed to cook meals and sleep so comfy. The sunken living room was great for the kids. They built a fort and all camped out. It was great seeing all the cousins getting to bond and be together. We had the best time and would love to book again. This was such a great home to spend your Tahoe vacation at!! I highly recommend booking!!!!!! Thank you so much VRBO and to the owners!!!

Beautiful and Cozy Perfect Place
This home felt welcoming, cozy and sweet from the moment we walked in. The layout is perfect for groups, with a really smooth flow between the kitchen, dining table, and living room, and even the sliding doors to outside, so adults and kids could all be hanging out and connected, even when the kids were out on the deck playing in the snow and with the icicles hanging from the roof! It was safe for a baby and the rooms all felt very comfortable and pretty. Being in the cul-de-sac made for a quiet stay, safe for the kids to be out, and also so peaceful to go walk in the streets and neighborhood. We loved it and highly recommend it!

What a fantastic place to stay at!
We had a great time at Dave's family cabin. Everything was top-notch. The place was easy to find, very well located, _very_ clean, very comfortable and fitted with quality everyday items like soaps and well-performing appliances. The sunken pit was a delight for our 3 and 7 year old girls. The antique pool table made the stay very special for adults and the game closet was outstanding: Stratego and RISK anyone ? The beds were very comfortable and the thermostat easy to maneuver. We were a 7-people family from 3 to 77 years old and every single person had a great time. Dave was very quick while messaging and did everything to accommodate our requests. We'll definitely be back! Thanks Dave!!
