We had been to Lake Tahoe only once before and it was 15 years ago. We stayed near Heavenly during that trip, so we were unfamiliar with the different communities/areas around the lake. I thought being in Tahoe City would be nice/what we wanted, but it wasn't. You are in a neighborhood and the houses are very close to you (like, VERY close), which means no privacy. The street is steep, so when you're on the rooftop deck you're literally staring into one neighbor's backyard watching their kids playing (not ideal) and you're at window-level with the neighbor on the other side (which means they're staring at you). Deck access is via either of the two upstairs bedrooms (not ideal), but worse yet, there is no place to sit outside at ground level. The "front door" is through the garage, so you can't really step outside easily (there is a back door blocked by a high chair and a side door in the mudroom, but they just lead to a tiny gravel backyard with no seating). You have to set up the deck top patio yourself - it will not look like the pictures when you arrive. And then you have to take it all down at the end of your stay. I've rented dozens of homes and never had to do this before. What we were really wanting is to be able to sit outside and eat lunch - but we'd have to carry our food/drinks upstairs, through a bedroom (this is after we set up the patio), and it just didn't seem worth it. Also, while the listing does say this, the rooftop patio is off-limits at 9pm. I missed this in the listing (my fault). Because of this, we never used the hot tub. The home is full of personal photos (I've never had a rental home with personal photos) and personal belongings/clothing in the closets. The bedding is very dated/used and needs refreshed. The mattress on the first floor bed is TERRIBLE. My husband and I couldn't wait to get home. We both agreed it was the worst mattress we've ever had at a rental. None of the bedrooms had dressers, so we couldn't unpack our suitcases. Kitchen was well stocked, had everything we needed to cook a few meals at home. We wished we had stayed elsewhere. If you want to be in Tahoe City (which does have some perks...close to the grocery store, restaurants/bars, easy walk to the lake), and you don't mind being right next to other homes, this house might work for you. It lacked the outdoor spaces and privacy we were wanting for our vacation.

Enjoyed our stay. Matt is an excellent host! House is well stocked and comfortable. Beds are good (though lower bedroom mattress has a bit of dip on one side). Easy walk to downtown or trails. Very close to Safeway. Neighborhood was quite at night (there was some home construction noise during that day, but I suspect that is temporary and could happen anywhere --- it was not at all disruptive).

We had a lovely weekend in Tahoe City and at Matt’s cabin. The deck was a great place to hang out and the cabin is walking distance to town. The kitchen was stocked with all we needed. We also enjoyed the unique art found all around the cabin! I would definitely stay again and recommend to families or couples.

We had 3 couples comfortably stay at this property. The hot tub was a plus for sure!

We had a great time at Matt's property in Tahoe City. We were three couples, attending a wedding at West Shore Cafe and this was a great home base. Was stocked with everything we needed, and the hot tub was a great added bonus! Location is walkable to Tahoe City restaurants, and to the lake! Matt was very communicative and easy to get a hold of. Would recommend this place to anyone looking for a nice Tahoe getaway.

Great Location right in Tahoe City walking distance from restaurants. Matt was an easy and communicative host. Would recommend!

We had a really nice family retreat for a week at Matt's property. The kids loved the foosball table, pool table, Disney+ and games. We loved the hot tub, and enjoyed having everything we needed (dishes, pots, pans) for an early Christmas dinner since we wouldn't see my brother's family over Christmas. We needed a rental suv to take us to the lifts... although there is a ski shuttle from the transportation center in Tahoe City, we didn't use it because it was a bit far to walk to (4 wheel drive was needed due to all the snow). Tahoe City is really nice to walk around, even in the middle of winter. Great location!!

Cute place with all you need. Great location. The view from the hot tub and deck is spectacular. The kids enjoyed all the games. Friendly and responsive host. Can’t wait to stay here again

We stayed here last year and couldn’t wait to come back. Location to restaurants, commons beach, and ice cream shops close walking distance. Every night was movie night on Disney +. Weather was great all week.

Excellent location, clean and comfortable, with an amazing roof deck. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely return

This house was a quick walk to town and a very quiet neighborhood. We enjoyed our stay!

This property location was perfect for walking to town and the lake. It is in a neighborhood so we were sensitive about being quiet at night. One of the best Kitchen - lots of stocked houses I have rented. Kitchen - lots of spices, recreation - games, toys, table games etc. Beds were very comfortable. Outdoor deck was perfect with lots of furniture and hot tub. Owner was very responsive. Great family time, would not. be a party house.

This location was great for walking to activities, coffee shops and dinner each day.

Matt was great to work with and he was very good about communication both prior & during My rental. He was prompt to address an issue with the BBQ. The place worked well for the 4 adults and two teen children. We enjoyed our stay.

Owner was easy to get ahold of and great to communicate with!

In this time of Covid & a global pandemic, a lake getaway is just what my family & I needed. Matthew is a wonderful host. When I had tentatively put it on hold & was still unsure we would be able to go because of another lock down, Matthew called me personally to tell me about the property. I was so glad he did & then I booked immediately. The location is fantastic & the house is so well stocked. Matthew has thought of EVERYTHING! My kids loved the pool table, foos ball & especially the rooftop deck jacuzzi. The weather was perfect (except for a weird hailstorm) & the rooftop was the perfect place to enjoy dinner & drinks. Matthew was also really helpful with some great recommendations on things to do & where to eat. We had a wonderful time & had a sense of normalcy for a bit. Thank you Matthew!

The deck and hot tub were amazing, as were the bedrooms ! The games (foosball and pool table) were a great bonus! We had to leave early due to the fires and possible impending evacuations and the owner was AMAZING was amazing in the situation, even refunded us the extra night!

We loved this house the roof top deck of course. My husband would never go in a hot tub but watching the stars moon and the beautiful night weather he couldn’t say no. Our days started and ended on that deck. We especially liked that you cannot get up there from the outside so we knew our kids were safe. Location we walked everywhere restaurants, river rafting, commons beach and of course ice cream. The owner Matt made everything from booking to leaving easy. Even when we wanted to change our reservation date because of covid. We will be back!

House was nice, great location, walking distance to Tahoe City and the lake!

Moto MTB trip with some river floating in the middle. Great time, Great host.

My family had a great time. ❤️

Matt was super easy to communicate with and very helpful. Would definitely stay here again. Great location in Tahoe City (easy access to hiking, biking and the Lake). The deck is awesome for hanging out. Very nice for families with kids.

This property has it all - location, amenities, really good space and feels like home. Matt was extremely attentive and the beginning and end of our stay. We will definitely return for another stay!
