We traveled 1800 miles for a small family wedding and never felt more at home. The pool table, ping pong table and Jacuzzi were more than enough to keep our 3 teenagers occupied. The views wer exquisite. The people were friendly and the weather was beautiful. We all enjoyed our time here tremendously. Hope to return again soon. Your Hurricane Rita evacs.

Great Stay!

Review submitted: April 21, 2013   Date of arrival: April 12, 2013

We loved staying at this house! Our kids had a great time playing in the forest, and we had a great time playing pool, soaking in the hot tub, playing cards on the deck, and looking out over the forest and mountains. We skied Mammoth and Kirkwood; what amazing scenery on these drives and mountains, and what excellent spring skiing! The house and deck were so comfortable when we came home to relax. The furniture and decor were very tasteful and comfortable. I have told many friends to stay at this house; it was an excellent value. Thank you!

disappointed

Review submitted: March 15, 2013   Date of arrival: February 20, 2013

the place would be nice if it was cleaned before we arrived we had to wait at a casino for 8 hours till they cleaned it we lost a full day and did not get refunded.
all furnishings are 30 years old, beds all have holes in the middle of the mattress's, the couch bed had springs hanging out of it not useable, the other couch when you sit in it your butt hits the floor.
the hot tub was filthy smelled like sewer water and the jets did not work at all.
We left a day early, we told the owner of all the issues and he showed no concern.

B-day trip to Tahoe with friends

Flaviu B. ()
Review submitted: February 7, 2013   Date of arrival: January 23, 2013

Me and my friends stayed at this Stateline property and had a great time. The place was clean, with small exceptions that I have reported to the owner only for the purpose of disclosing the conditions of the house at arrival, so it does not create a problem at departure. Vince, the owner was very nice and polite every time I reached out to him during the stay and he was easy to contact.

The hot spa was not working properly but owner offered to fix right away (much appreciated). Also the propane tanks were empty, but we went and replaced them and owner gladly refunded the money, not just the cost but a bit over on top of that. I am assuming for the inconvenience and that gesture shows a lot of character. For that reason alone I would gladly stay and recommend this property to everyone.

Overall, the cabin was clean and in good shape. Lower level master bedroom was my favorite, with a feel of (Tahoe cabin design). Ping pong table was in the garage and we did not get to use because it was way too cold up there. But there was pool table to entertain us, the hot spa, the swings under the deck (brilliant idea Vince) and the beauty of the view and surrounding nature of the property. Also the floor plan of the cabin allows visitors to seat in deferent areas of the house but still be part of the party. Very well designed and furnished. The cabin is being advertised as sleeping 12 people. This is not to degrade the cabin, but I would recommend that if you have a party of adults only, max 10 people is what the cabin sleeps. Luckily we were 9.

The description of the cabin was accurate and expect to find even more and better than what you find on the web page. Location was great, close to heavenly, casinos, and stores. Property was clean, and well maintained. Owner provided the highest level of customer service that you could expect from any individual or professional. Great job Vince (before the stay and after the stay). I would 100% recommend this cabin to friends, relatives, anyone and surely would try to stay here again.

Cabins in Tahoe could be a gamble, but this cabin is your lucky ticket.
GO STAY and ENJOY!

A great place to stay in Tahoe!

I just want to say thank you for renting your home to me and my friends. We had a wonderful time and could not have asked for a better vacation. The house was perfect for the number of people and someone was always playing pool, in the spa or playing a board game. We also enjoyed snowboarding at heavenly and your home was in the perfect location for snowboarding, as well as going to the casinos. Your home is also perfectly located to go on hikes and to explore the forests of lake tahoe. I will definitely recommend your vacation home to any of my friends and family. Next time, I'm staying for at least a week!

Hey Vince,

I wanted to follow up and thank you again for opening up your home to us for NYE. We had a great time and will be sure to reach out again for future trips. I just wanted to circle back to make sure we left everything in satisfactory condition. I went down the departure checklist to be sure, but wanted to reconnect with you to make sure.

Many thanks,

Adam

Our family loves this fun luxurious home and returns every January. The hot tub and decks are really large. The yard is great for sledding. The views are lovely.

Wow! Great Views! Great Layout! Comfortable!

GeoffSF (San Francisco, CA)
Review submitted: October 13, 2009   Date of arrival: March 11, 2009

We stay in vacation rental homes in Tahoe a few times per year in all seasons. This place stands out as a great value! The house is much nicer and more comfortable than the photos and description. Everything was clean and in great shape. We really enjoyed the big wrap around deck and access to the national forest in the back yard. The open floor plan with everything all on one floor makes it feel really comfortable. We would like to move to this place. Our kids and grandkids don't visit that often, so we usually don't need a house this big, but we will be sure to reserve this place when we do. We loved being so close to the ski lift and live entertainment at the casinos.

"Your house was great and all six of us enjoyed the weekend.
No significant problems to report with the house.
The roads were clear and it was easy to get around town.
It was very convenient to get to the slopes at Heavenly.

None of us had ever entered Heavenly on the Nevada side
and it was considerably less crowded than the California side.
The Jacuzzi was used several times and enjoyed by all.
We found everything we needed in the kitchen and plenty of blankets, pillows and TOWELS.

Nice place!
I have rented many places in different locations for vacations over the years.
Usually they are marginally as advertised.
We were very pleased to find that yours was better than expected! Thanks!"

"Vince,
Just wanted to let you know we had a great time at your house.
It was more beautiful than the pictures showed.
The pool table was a huge hit, and the hot tub was perfect after a long day of golf.
Everyone thanked me a million times, so I figured I better pass some on to you.

Hope to stay there again some time in the future; maybe for a winter ski trip!

Thanks for everything,"
