This is a terrific location to stay in Lake Tahoe - peaceful, quiet and close to the lake. It's just a long block to the lake, with two beaches to choose from, and there is a Safeway right around the corner for all your cooking needs. There is a wonderful marsh area nearby that was just beautiful to walk through and watch the geese. We loved that the forest is right out of the back door and had all of our meals and coffees there. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking items, the beds were comfy and the place was very clean. The clawfoot bath was a nice place for a soak. The kids loved having their loft space up there to watch movies. Here are the only "issues" we had. Our code did not work at check-in (we called, they gave us one that worked - so not a problem); there was no welcome guide when we arrived, so we spent a long time trying to figure out how to turn on the gas fireplace to heat the home (it was very cold that first night.) The trick was to turn the gas on at the fireplace, then use the wall heater by the stairs. The tankless water heater gets loud when you use the hot water. The furniture arrangement is awkward in the living room/dining room area. We solved that by moving the table from between the tv and sofa, pulling the sofa forward, and putting the table off to the side (don't worry, it all went back when we left.) Other than that, it really was a great place to stay. Thank you to our hosts! (ps - hammock in pic was ours)
