We particularly liked the spacious upstairs rooms. We had fun playing games in the recreation room. The view from the deck was pretty looking over the forest and the hiking trail. Loved the hot tub.

We had a fantastic week in Tahoe while staying at Trailside Escape. This home met all of our needs with one exception. The sleeping accommodations are better for a smaller group, including young kids, but not great for our group that included young adults in their 20's. The room with the twin beds is super small and the sleeper sofa is off the kitchen so there's no privacy. We also felt that the beds could be made a bit more comfortable. But everything else about this home is fantastic and I would highly recommend it for the right groups!

Had a great time with friends and skiing tahoe, we weren’t into the cross country skiing but it is right outside the back door and enjoyed watching all the people. Everything in the house worked well and the open space upstairs provided the perfect place to entertain and enjoy everyone’s company. Only thing I would suggest is adding an extra key for the house. We only had one and was tough at times when the group wanted to do different things.

Was looking to hike right outside my door with my dog and you couldn’t beat this cross country ski/bike/hike location. Plenty of room, wonderful deck, hot tub and ping pong. I (wish I) could live here during the hot east Bay Area summers

Summer getaway
Thr trailside escape was the perfect location for our family vacation and first time enjoying Lake Tahoe in the summertime. It was a cozy home that provided all the space we needed to relax, gather, eat, play and rest. Definitely took advantage of the deck and bbq to cool down and cook meals, the dining table sat our group comfortably, and the game room is stocked with movies and games. Great location, easy access to the city for groceries and drive out to the beaches.

We traveled to Trailside Escape In June 2022. We had 4 adults and 2 children. The property was the perfect size for us and in a great location. We loved sitting on the back deck and watching people hike and mountain bike through the meadow. The house itself is outdated but mostly clean and decently maintained. The games in the family room were a hit with my kids, plus the TVs had DirectTV, Smart TV and a DVD player. The house gets a musky smell when closed up but with doors and windows open, is lovely.
We reported some minor maintenance/cleaning/supply issues to the rental company and they said they would resolve (light bulb replacement, spiderwebs on ceiling, slimy hot tub, dirty carpets, lack of typical spices, etc.). The rental company was easy to deal with and check in/check out were a breeze.
Overall, the house could use a bit of updating, but it was comfortable, spacious, and everything worked as described. My youngest cried for about an hour when we left because he wanted to “go back to the cabin!” Needless to say, we may be returning next summer. And you can’t beat the location if you like to hike!

We had an amazing weekend in this spacious home. We absolutely loved the yard as it was perfect for our dogs and kiddos. It was a chilly weekend, so we got to utilize the fireplace. We do wish that it had a fresh sponge there, or a washcloth to wipe things down. We would have also like to have paper towels. It was clean and a quite little getaway. Thank you!

We stayed over the 2021 Christmas Holiday which brought exceptional snow to the area. The house was warm and cozy when we got there with plenty of room for everyone. It's a short drive to get supplies in Tahoe City. The management company was very understanding and cooperative when the whole region got snowed in and made the slight extension to our vacation easy. Next time I'll pack snowshoes as there's a XC/snowshoe trail literally right in the backyard. The kitchen is roomy and was equipped well enough to cook Christmas dinner for 5.

We were there for memorial and needed a place that would offer space, sanctuary, and solitude - but that would accommodate family coming from different states and so location would have to be close to where we would all gather at memorial (at Commons Beach). This home was perfect. You are in a neighborhood close to main stuff and minutes from beach, but it feels like you are isolated from touristy part of town and neighborhood is so quiet. We especially appreciated private driveway and garage. LOVED coming in from travel to a CLEAN, WELL-CARED FOR home. Fantastic & spotless kitchen layout, though cupboards & drawers could use some organization of pots & pans and utensils. Nevertheless, there was definitely everything needed to prepare meals, just had to dig around a bit. Also, everything you need to come in and get started on your Tahoe time - clear instructions for everything, starter stuff for bathrooms, laundry, home entertainment. On the spot communication from property management, everything is done to make it easy for you. You absolutely will love this place - we were just all so sad due to the circumstances that we could not make use of everything offered. But when we return to Tahoe, we are only staying here. Five stars everything.

This is our second time at Trailside Escape, and will be looking for our third booking soon enough. What we love about this place: Big, open family spaces, (almost fully) fenced yard, dog-friendly, close to Tahoe City, backs out onto ski/bike/hike trails out the gate, is bright and airy and well equipped. Cannot recommend this space enough!

We thoroughly enjoyed our week at Trailside Escape. It’s big, open, bright with tons of room for everyone, including our dog. A short drive to Tahoe City, and a 7-11 close by for the teenagers to walk and get a snack. Kitchen was well stocked with stainless steel pots and pans, tons of dishes, utensils, etc. Super comfy family room. Easy access to Tahoe XC trails right out the backyard, which was amazing. Highly recommend!

Love this place!
The photos did not do this property justice, it was great! The house was huge, and there were 4 adults, 2 kids, and two dogs. The backyard was big enough for all of us to build a hill to sled down, so we didn't need to go out anywhere, but the location was still close to everything. The house was clean and had large windows out to the back yard which was an added bonus. We can't wait to go back.

BIKE TO MOUNTAIN BIKE TRAILHEAD!!!
This property is super close to Tahoe XC which is free to mountain bikers in the Summer months. Hours of trails kept us busy for two days. Great, quiet neighborhood. Awesome deck with a grill and a fully stocked kitchen. We loved it!

Great family stay
Had a great time at this property. The trail in the back was great with some good photo ops along the way. Close to stores and the lake. Kitchen and living spaces are huge. It’s a shame there is so much creaking on the 2nd story since bedrooms are on the first floor. Plus side is that the bedrooms keep very cool being on the first floor.
