"Great property, the area is Quiet, close to Tahoe City, and the beach access was the best part. Parking is easy. Our host was very accommodating. We ran into a small issue 5 days into our 7 night stay when the HOA decided it was time to paint the building and the owner was not aware. We did end our vacation early, but Greg was great and provided a monetary refund for our inconvenience. Would definitely stay here again."

Tahoe Mountain Retreat

10/10 Excellent
"The property is exactly as presented in the photos. It is a beautiful residence- spacious and well furnished. Quiet and private, with a breath-taking view of the lake. Our whole family absolutely loved it. We enjoyed cooking meals in the well stocked kitchen, and didn't eat out the whole week. Stores are conveniently located nearby so we easily grabbed forgotten ingredients. We used the jacuzzi every night.Something to consider is the pet policy. My son's asthma kicked up the first night there, and I suspect it is because the hosts allow guests w/pets. The house was very clean, but someone with sensitivity to dog dander will feel it. (this is not the first time this has happened when we've rented) However, with allergy medication, my son felt better by the next day and he enjoyed himself the rest of the week. : )"
