This house was plenty big for our multi generational family of 15. Definitely suited our needs. We spent an entire week here in the middle of the summer. The area is beautiful, close to many mountain lakes and hikes. Kirkwood is quiet in the summertime because the resort mainly caters to the ski crowd, so make sure you have all of your essentials before you check in. There is a general store nearby that sells some basics, but the closest grocery store is 30 minutes away. We took a couple of days drives to South Lake Tahoe, and up to Tahoe City, but after the adventure we were happy to get back to our quiet retreat. The property management office was responsive to a couple of issues we had, unfortunately the washing machine was broken and a new one was delivered on the day we left. The housekeeping service left much to be desired. There was a garbage can full of old food that had not been emptied from the last renters, so the house reeked of garbage when we got there. There are no extra towels provided (we were there for an entire week), and a sign was posted on the broken washing machine that there would be an extra charge if we washed any towels. Not enough kitchen towels were provided for drying dishes. While the kitchen is definitely well stocked, so many of the serving dishes and cookware had not been washed in a long time so they were dusty and filmy. Negatives aside, we had a wonderful vacation week filled with great memories.
