The house is a very short drive to Palisades and Alpine Meadows Ski Resort so you avoid a lot of traffic. The house is not large, but you don't need a big place if you are spending most of the day on the slopes. Appliances, carpet and bathrooms appeared to have been recently upgraded. The beds are very comfortable and the children loved having Apple Play on the TV in one of the bedrooms with bunk beds. There is a computer and desk in the downstairs bedroom if you need to work. The ski clothing and equipment could be stored in a secured area before entering into the house. The only cons are that the the kitchen is very small and the doors could use some re-finishing work. Also, there was no wood for the fireplace so we had to purchase some. The owner/manager is an excellent communicator. . .always responding to messages and providing tips. She should be considered a super host.

I loved my stay at Lanny Lane. It’s very tranquil and private with lovely views of trees from the windows, and a large deck right off the living room. The beds and pillows are really comfortable, and there were plenty of fresh white towels and even washcloths! The kitchen has a good set of pots and pans, plenty of silverware, dishes, and glasses, really everything you need. The living room was comfortable and cozy, with a great sofa and a rocking chair I enjoyed sitting and reading in. They have a nice touch that I haven’t seen before: a little white charger for multiple electronic devises to plug into on the kitchen bar counter and on the bedside tables. I have to find out where to get these and get some for my home. The whole house was very clean, which I appreciated. You enter into a mud room, where you can leave your shoes and coats, which I’m sure helps keep the floors clean. The location can’t be beat. It wasn’t snowing when we were there, and the weather was great for long walks and hikes. If you don’t feel like getting in your car, right across the street is a very long pathway that actually goes all the way into Tahoe City. We didn’t walk that far, but did a very refreshing 4 mile walk. It was a wonderful escape from the city! Can’t wait to return.
