Beds were a little hard but otherwise everything was comfortable. Hot tub worked great. We enjoyed the trail out back for the 4.5 miles walk. Everything worked fine.

Quiet family neighborhood. Spacious home with good beds, nice bathrooms, showers, all very clean. Management was very attentive.
Enjoyed the gas log fireplace. We used the kitchen a great deal and found everything we needed for making meals. We also enjoyed the hot tub outside. The backyard setting for the hot tub was wooded and serene.

Overall, stay was awesome, the only problem was with fire alarms going off inside the whole house, we ended up disconnecting them, as advised by the staff.

This home is just the right size for a family getaway. Lots of space for everyone. The upstairs includes the kitchen, dining area and living room. Lots of space for everyone to gather. The upstairs master was very large and comfortable.
The downstairs has a good size living room with a pool table (that was dearly loved by my grandkids). There is also another generous sized master in the lower level. Having 3 bathrooms for 8 people was just perfect.
The setting, so close to the trees was wonderful. The artwork throughout the home was very well done.
My one complaint, which can't be controlled, was that the upstairs area stayed a little too warm. The outdoor daytime temperature was in the 80s and even though we followed instructions for keeping the home closed up in the daytime hours, opening doors and windows in the evening and putting on the fans, the upstairs still remained very warm. Downstairs was at least 10 degrees cooler. We didn't let us bother us too much.
We would definitely go back to this home again. My 11 year old granddaughter started to cry when we were packing up to go. She loved it and didn't want to leave.
Thank you!

We had a great friend trip to Tahoe. We had plenty of space with the 6 of us.
Although we loved the location, hot tub and great communication, we suggest the following to make the stay better for others.
Fix kitchen floor
We realize this house is in the woods but there were two beds with spiders in them, a huge spider in a bathroom sink, one climbing on the wall and dead ones in window sills. I suggest bug strips.
Ice machine did not work. Water would not freeze. We had to buy ice everyday. Two toilets need handles fixed. The kitchen window is cracked. You list a hair dryer in each bathroom but the master suite did not have one. The jacuzzi is difficult to get in and out of. Needs a foot stool at least. Even though we noticed these things and a carpet that needs to be stretched upstairs to prevent tripping, we still had a great experience.
5.0
Great location. Off the main roads and hiking trails right outside the door. Great layout for a large group and well stocked. Takes 7 minutes to get to the strip so everything is close by. Would definitely recommend this house for a large gathering.

Enjoyed our family’s time away in this spacious home. Location was phenomenal for quick access to snow - backyard opens right up to forest land! Quiet with friendly neighbors.

This was an amazing property to stay in! It had everything you could ever need and more. We spent Easter here with some extended family and hope to make this venue an annual occurrence! The Happy Hiker lived up to its expectations, highly recommend!

Overall had a great time. Clean, roomy, comfortable. No real issues with the property. Made a request for a better large skillet (Teflon was peeling off) and two were on the porch when we returned from our outing. Only suggestion would be to put a dvd player with the upstairs tv as well.

The home was huge! Possibly too big for our group of five. No problem choosing a bedroom. No waiting to use one of three bathrooms. We loved the pool table! The hot tub was a welcome after a day of snowboarding. Ample cookware and utensils for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Shopped at a nearby Safeway. Lots of restaurants nearby if we chose to eat out. Did carry out from Off the Hook and celebrated our son’s 30th birthday at the Lake House Restaurant. House was in close proximity to Heavenly. We drove to the casinos a couple of nights. House was clean and supplied with essentials. Loved everything about the home especially, the gas fireplace. Furniture and beds were comfortable. We would definitely like to stay here again!There was a lot of snow! Everything was white. We did encounter a problem coming home one afternoon. Our SUV got stuck in the snow. Made a call to RnR and the person answering the phone easily guided us through our distress call. I apologize for not remembering her name. She advised us as to how we should maneuver our SUV out of the snow. We did need to shovel the driveway as the snow plow did not come through yet. She texted back with more advice and shortly thereafter a snow plow came to plow. Yay! They saved our day! We so appreciated their quick response.

The property was a great location for kids to freely play in the backyard and they had the whole trail to themselves. Family enjoyed the home but would definitely place personal heaters here and there as some guests mentioned temp got cooler at times.One of the biggest cons to point out is that 2 out of 3 bathroom locks did not work. And one bathroom had a screw makeshift lock that stopped working. If it was not for that. everything else went pretty smooth. Everyone loved the pool table and hottub. I enjoyed the electric fireplace that brought warmth to our Christmas holiday. Neighbors were really nice and we never received a noise complaint.

We planned a family trip in December. The house had the lights on, heater on and music playing. Super clean and cozy. The house was perfect! The staff was helpful. We did experience a power outage due to the major snow storm, but we made the best of it. Will absolutely go back for another stay!

Fun stay at Tahoe
We had a great time in Tahoe at your house. The house was very nice and accommodating, being right on the trail was really cool. Cocktails on the deck with a view after a day at the beach was quite relaxing. The house could use an update and the spa cover is way to heavy to take on and off. Otherwise great times were had and will return. Thank you.

Nice, comfortable, large house near forested area. Convenient to all Southshore activities. Downstairs hot tub, pool table, and large TV for gaming were fun for everyone. Stocked with TP, paper towels, trash bags, and dishwasher/laundry soap. Bedrooms lacking nightstand lamps for reading.

This house was perfect for our family. There was plenty of room for us to spread out or to be together. The beds were comfortable. We liked being a little farther away from the in town bustle, but close enough to get there quickly. We loved it. Check in and out was easy.

We stayed at this property for Memorial Day weekend in 2022. Location is good, trail starts just around the corner. This is a big property but is very outdated with lot of missing amenities. Also hot tub is very small. Many of the restrooms don’t lock properly as well as beds are not super comfortable. A lot can be improved

We got 2 text complaints a day from VRBO for noise complaints when we weren’t outside hanging out once due to it being way to cold anyway. The only time I was outside was cooking hamburgers. Just me because the previous night there was another two complaints. It was absolutely ridiculous. On a Friday night at 6pm I got 2 texts for noise. We weren’t outside once nor had ANY windows open. I was very upset as we were not loud what so ever. Quiet hours were 10 pm to 8am anyway.. On Saturday the same exact thing happened but at 5pm on a Saturday night! It was absolutely ridiculous. Couldn’t even have any fun as we were worried about getting a 2k fine. The house was great, clean, and perfect location. Although, I would never recommend this property to anyone as the neighbor across the street more than likely called for some random reason as no other neighbors nearby were home.

This home was perfect for our annual ski trip. There was plenty of room and lots of things to keep the kids busy. They loved using the sleds in the backyard and were even able to build a snowman. The house was centurally located and close to the mountain. We would recommend this property.

Overall the home was nice. There were several "housekeeping" issues that need to be addressed.
The shower door in the upstairs bathroom doesn't stay shut. Water tends to get on the floor.
Downstairs bathroom next to the bunk beds...the carpet is pulled away from the tile and there are carpet tacks that stick up. Carpet needed cleaning.
Overall, the home worked for our group.

We booked this home for a large family vacation. We were very excited to see that the weather cleared before arriving. Before we arrived, the property manager was very communicative, even sending tips on driving in snowy weather. Made us so comfortable since we flew into Reno and drove to the home. So easy! The home itself was in great shape, super clean, and fully stocked. Our family of 9 all slept very comfortably. we could have even had a couple more people and wouldn’t feel like we were on top of each other, with the separate living spaces. The location was perfect, only 10 mins from heavenly village, less than 10 mins to the nearest grocery store. Would absolutely stay again.

We visited South Lake Tahoe for my husband and his friend’s 40th birthday trip! We loved the house, the open floor plan in the living areas, the pool table and relaxing in the hot tub. Only a short drive to Heavenly village and the casinos. The only downfall was the 10pm quiet time and curfew for the hot tub. Would definitely recommend this house!

This house has lots of recommended features. Excellent top floor with kitchen, dining, living room, fireplace large windows overlooking hiking trails and great forest from top deck. Two bedrooms upstairs, three down with a pool table and hot tub. I had a girlfriend weekend with 6 friends and it was great!
