Granlibakken Tahoe

8/10 Good

"Joshua at the check in was so helpful and nice. We got all situated and found our suite and he helped us with everything!"

Sunny, Charming Three Bedroom Lake Tahoe Chalet In Great Location

10/10 Excellent

"This is a clean, cozy, convenient place for a visit to Tahoe City. The kitchen is well equiped and the beds are comfy. Just a short walk into town for shops and a variety of good restaurants. A great stay!"

NEW Cute Tahoe City Cottage-Close to Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Cabin was wonderful! Comfortable beds, and furniture! Easy walk down the hill into town, a bit of an incline on the return. The air conditioning was a huge plus! We all had a great time in Tahoe City!"

Lake Forest Luxe - Spacious Lakefront Tahoe Retreat, Private Hot Tub, Media Room, EV Charger

10/10 Excellent

"Rarely do I write a review for anything, but this one is worth it!We've all stayed at the house rental labeled as "Luxe", but this one really delivers. This home is basically brand new, packed with all of the amenities of a true luxury home. Smart home features, built in speakers, automated blinds, luxury bedding and linens, and a beautiful new hot tub.What really sets this home apart is the amazing location. Set far off the highway down a long private road, you really feel like you are escaping. A forest of pine trees greets you as you arrive, and the massive windows on all sides of the house really make it feel like you are sitting in nature. A semi-private beach awaits just a few steps down the backyard, and waterfront views are seen throughout the house. Tahoe City is an easy 5 min drive into town.The floor plan is fantastic for families, with three bedrooms spaced far apart, and the kids bunk room (6 beds) is far down the hallway by the garage. Also the separate media / entertainment room was packed with toys and kids couches which kept our two kids happy.I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again!"
