Stayed with our family for a wedding and the property had everything we needed!

This was an overall great spot for our group of friends 4 day Tahoe trip, during which we went hiking at the bi-state park, boating, walking at the lakefront and going to casinos. At the house, we enjoyed cooking together, eating together at the big tables inside and outside, watching tv together and playing pool, fooseball and darts downstairs. Cooler and beach towels came in handy when we went to the waterfront. Beds were comfortable. A few criticisms: We found the upstairs to be a bit warm, especially in the afternoon and evening. In the kitchen/ dining area, We wanted to open the window to help but there were gaps in between the frame and screen that let bugs in, like tiny flies and mosquitoes, so we kept it closed, sat near the sliding screen or sat outside. A circulating fan for the shared space and bedrooms would have been helpful. We saw a few bugs in the bedrooms and bathrooms, like spiders and ants. Some bedrooms had stains on the sheets. One fitted sheet had what appeared to be plastic melted onto the fabric. One guest got scratched by it. Lighting could be improved in the bedrooms, like recessed lighting or a taller lamp.

We rented this home for 4 nights with 5 families and it was perfect! Great setup with bedrooms away from living room areas, really close to Heavenly, and it has a fantastic sledding hill in the backyard. Communication with home manager was fast. Would stay here again. Thank you!

Super equipped, clean, had everything you need in a home close by the attractions

In short, I cannot be more satisfied with Jackie’s house. It is clean, cozy, and comfortable, and it looks way better than the online picture. If I was the owner, I will update the pictures so more people can enjoy it. Its location is very convenient, 12 min drive to Heavenly Ski Resort, 12 min to downtown stores and restaurants. I don’t know how Jackie can manage to response my message so quickly. The information I received is precise, friendly and generous. The contract clearly mentioned everything that need to be aware for arrival and departure. Everything works well. The communication between me and Jackie is fast and efficient. I just want to leave several comments for the people and me(as reminder cause I will surely come back again) that is reviewing this house: 1. Drive a 4wd or bring a snow chain(and learn how to install it) if you come in winter. Snow plow did a very good job, but they cannot clear every tiny spot on the ground. 2. Bring a small humidifier if you travel with kids in winter. Tahoe air is so dry which can cause the bleeding nose for kids. 3. Shopping around, compare, and come back to rent this place. Thank you Jackie and your lodge.

Plenty of space, great backyard for sledding, excellent location for those wanting to be near Boulder and Stagecoach. Will stay again soon.

Excellent all around. The incredible roof top patio was a surprise and a treasure. More than enough chairs, games, pots pans, etc for 14 people. No squabbles over bathrooms because there were plenty. And the stars at night were exquisite

This place was fantastic! Very close to everything you’d want to do in South Lake Tahoe and a beautiful scenic patio. We loved staying here!

Had a great time. Jackie was very easy to work with and quick to respond to questions. Listing was accurate. No A/C did make the nights a bit warm as this was July. Great location. Overall great place to stay!

We had a great time. Cabin was exactly as described.

We had a great time at the Castro lodge! The property was large and spacious and had everything we needed. The outdoor deck was awesome for us as well. We had more than enough beds for everyone and we were totally comfortable. This is a great spot to stay if you’re visiting the Tahoe area with a group.

We just checked out yesterday & today the Owner is blaming us for a broken laundry room lock & door & it was not even us! We have a very responsible crew that was there & I assure you we did NOT break that lock or door! Yesterday when we were packing up to leave we were trying to put all the towels in the laundry room per her instructions & the laundry room door was locked!! We did not even open the door. We better not be charged for anything!"

First off, Jackie is an amazing host. She did an awesome job keeping me informed about the property. She even provided a cute welcome basket full of goodies and even face masks. Overall, this place is a great place for a family getaway. It is equipped with baby gate and high chair which was perfect for my toddler. The game room was a plus. I really enjoyed this home.

This was a very nice cabin. It was well equipped with everything we needed, clean, and most of all had a huge hill in the backyard that the kids spent endless hours playing in the snow. Jackie was a wonderful host and very communicated the whole time. Overall happy with our stay.

The house was great and was fully stocked. We totally loved the house and beds we’re very comfortable and it had clean sheets. The house was perfect for our family

My family really enjoyed our stay here. The backyard was awesome and we didn't have to take the kids anywhere to go sledding. They were able to sled in their own back yard. It was great. Stores are also very close by.

If I could give this property a TEN star review I would. Our group of close friends and family children included stayed for 2 nights. The love and attention to detail put onto this house was so impressive. The bottom level was perfect for the kids. A huge TV, a pool table, Foose ball table, tons of snow toys and a closet FULL of games. Even a cute little bookcase full of books. You don't need to bring ANYTHING but your clothes and your toothbrush and food! Completely STOCKED kitchen LOADED with anything you could want or need. The fireplace was so cozy. I really felt at home. The house is beautifully decorated and the grounds were a beautiful snowy playground of fun!! Our communications and messages with the owner Jackie were very pleasant She was so helpful and a quick to respond to any questions or concerns. We LOVED this place so much our ENTIRE group decided we will make going there a tradition!!
