Chinquapin is a special area located close to Tahoe City and not far from the North Shore. It's ideal for exploring the communities nearby. The Gated Entrance opens to a lush forest area that has areas to hike and leads to a beautiful lakeside community of homes . We have rented several homes for over 40 years - some large and some smaller. The condition of the homes were clean and well equipped . The leasing/sales office has always been available, friendly, helpful and diligent about any needs that we might have. Chinquapin offers a strong sense of serenity and peace. Easy to make lasting lifetime memories here! read more

What a beautiful setting with idyllic sunrises on the lake, timeless and beautiful accommodation, excellent and helpful staff, attentiveness to the details and a memorable all around holiday experience. Can't wait to do it again! read more

we had a fabulous holiday! Thanks to the staff at Chinquapin our place was beautiful and very clean. I can't imagine a more perfect place with views of the lake, magnificent trees and great walking paths. Close to the best skiing and excellent restaurants . Chinquapin knocked it out of the park! We have already reserved for next year. read more

Just finished the most memorable vacation with family at Chinquapin! The condo was gorgeous - amazing lakefront - furniture was beautiful - kitchen and bathrooms all re-done, bedrooms really tastefully decorated. We had no idea it is set on a huge property with a mile of lakefront that gave us so much opportunity to walk and really take in all of the surrounding nature. The Packard Real Estate team were incredible - so helpful with restaurant and activity suggestions and made sure we had everything we needed for our stay. Can't wait to get back to this incredible property again!! What a hidden gem! Sandra C. read more

If I could do a zero I would. We've stayed in here before, but through VRBO not the rental office. Beautiful location we stayed in a beautiful condo. Different experience this time stay away from unit 165. It's filthy. Spiderwebs everywhere athe floor is horrendous God knows what is growing in it. We had to put blankets over the sofas because they were so stained and disgusting. We are only staying one night of our four night stay because it's unimaginable. I'm posting some photos of the floors, the rest of the place is so old and nasty and disgusting. It must be owned by the rental company and used as a last resort. Go through VRBO not the developments rental office. read more

Unit 15 Dirty & moldy, with dog smell. I never write negative reviews but after spending a couple of days I have to warn to stay away from unit 15. The gated community is beautiful and you will be amongst nature at its very best. However, I cannot recommend unit 15! I cannot believe that the property management actually rents this unit. It is filthy and beyond disgusting! It has red old, dirty, wall to wall shag carpet throughout the unit. The 70's dingy kitchen is dirty with crumbs and "God knows what else" in the drawers and cabinets. The bathrooms are moldy and have huge black aunts the size of roaches. The bedroom nightstands are dirty and there are spiderwebs and filth besides the nightstands. The door knobs are greasy and sticky. Yuk... is all I can say about this unit! In need of a major deep cleaning or better yet a remodel! The only reason I gave it 2 stars is because of the location which is amazing! read more

We had rented a 4BR condo in this property during this Christmas. The property is really good and location is even better. We were lucky enough to get a lake side condo where you can get the lake view from bedrooms and living rooms. The beaches outside the condo are having an amazing view of the lake. This property is located near Tahoe City (3 miles) and give better access to different resorts as its in the middle of Squaw Valley and NorthStar Village. There is even a 7/11 store with in walkable distance. We are so occupied with the beaches and resorts that we did not find time to look into other amenities of the property like tennis court, park etc. Pros: 1. Reasonable Price 2. Awesome Location 3. Cleanness 4. Amazing View 5. Management : very cooperative 6. Gated community (Do remember to press # before your access code ;) ) 7. Free Wi-Fi There are few things that the owners/management need to take care Cons: 1. Showers - The showers are fixed and you cannot move them. Even its take sometime to get hot water running. 2. Television - The television was really old (CRT). 3. Need to provide the keys for all bedrooms as its really easy to get locked out when you have a kid with you. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely come here again. read more

Chinquapin is a BEAUTIFUL, wooded, semi-private community that has sandy beaches, numerous docks and a real community atmosphere. Although a few residents may seem a little snooty, most are really, really nice. They also have tennis courts, a pool and sauna for use by their guests and residents. Sizes and views vary, but whatever you rent or buy, you'll have a really great time. read more

I have rented a house here with friends a couple of times, and really enjoy it because there is a beach, walking trails, heated pool, playground, tennis, and boat dock all within walking distance (in a gated community, but still!). It is also a fantastic location right between Tahoe City and the stateline. read more

I have rented here for years. Unless you pay top top dollar, the place will most likely not be satisfactory. Front office is very uncooperative. For example, when we checked in, washed was broken. Also, the units come with one roll of paper towels, one roll of tp and one bar of soap. At $6,000 a week, one would think that they would stock the place for you. It is run like a 2 star hotel. I love this place but it does not meet today's renting standards do to poor management. Also the pics posted here are of the nicest unit on the property. This can be deceiving. read more
