Our snow removal crews work every day, but we have no control over the county road snowplows that clear the roads.
This street is a primary plow so is done earlier than many others.
4WD and or chains are always recommended. If you come in a small, low-profile vehicle you may have difficulties.
Tahoe has experiences frequent power outages during snow, rain, wind events. We provide lanterns, but sometimes they disappear (or batteries) Golden Bear Trail is a primary plow road.
Make yourself comfortable in this vacation home, which features a fireplace. There's a private balcony. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access is available to keep you connected.
Enjoy the recreation opportunities such as a hot tub or make use of other amenities including barbecue grills.

Easy, cute, nice place
Would recommend this place to stay! The property is as described. My family stayed here for a reunion. We had 2 dogs with us too. The kitchen is very big and has lots of space for cooking and food. There are plenty of spices and things to use to cook. Place was clean and plenty of towels. Easy check in and the garage is big. Fit 2 regular sized cars in there. Quiet and safe neighborhood. Make note the hot tub takes a while to get hot. Only thing I suggest to the property manager is to add water the hot tub and maybe clean it out if possible.

Great House
Our stay was a great one. Our family was happy with all. The garbage container was full to the brim we call the management and they had someone come out the next day and empty it so we could put all garbage in the container before we left.. communication was great. We would recommend this property.

Nice Place
The house comfortably fit the six of us. We each had our own room and the master bath was very nice. Living room/kitchen are well laid out for the group to all hang out before/during/after meals. The backyard is simple but great for our dog. Fully fenced in and plenty of room to run around!

Awesome Family Rental!
The home on Golden Bear is centrally located and a short drive to downtown. Perfect setup for a family with kids or an extended family like us (Grandparents + Parents w/ kids). - we got to stay in the spacious Master Suite upstairs, Mom, Dad + 3 kids camped downstairs. Lots of beds and space to spread out yet come together in the open floor plan upstairs for meals, games or bar-b-que on the deck. We had dogs with us so having the fenced in backyard was great. A usable garage was also a plus. The house is comfortably furnished and has all the needed kitchen essentials yet not too fancy that you worry about the kids breaking anything. Cozy gas fireplace was nice on cool mornings! Would definitely recommend for an active family or extended family!

Excellent Vacation Property
The property was one of the better ones I have stayed at in Tahoe, that accepts dogs. I am a responsible dog owner, so we made sure that our dogs were well behaved and that we cleaned up after them. I always write in reviews for people to pick up after their dogs as not to ruin the chances of available properties for responsible dog owners. With that being said, someone with small dogs were there prior to us because we cleaned up after them in the backyard to protect our reservation and not ruin rentals for others as mentioned above. The house was clean, comfortable, stylish and in good condition. Some things appeared worn due to the wear and tear of being a rental property, but we were happy nonetheless. Check in was easy, instructions were clear, the location was great for our needs, and the yard was adequate for our large dogs. Our dogs were also comfortable and happy. The house is large and spacious. There were plenty of supplies available as well as kitchenware and utensils. Temperature control of the house was perfect and the gas fireplace was a nice addition. We loved it and would stay again as long as Tahoe continues to allow short stay rentals.

Great place!
This place was overall really clean and very nice. It was perfect for our weekend get-a-way. We plan on coming back and bringing our kiddos next time. Love that it has a fenced in backyard and the jacuzzi was a plus but it could use some more towels. The kitchen has everything you need. Thank you for providing such a nice place for us to relax.

Perfect area
This house is located in a fantastic location close to many things but also far enough away to not feel like you’re in the middle of the city. The house is well-equipped with many utensils easy for cooking for a large group of friends or family. Having the master bedroom upstairs to separate yourself from the kids is also phenomenal
