One thing to know before booking: not all of the cabins are directly on the water. There are cabins…read moreright along the water, but there are also some across the street. My husband and I originally thought we had booked one right on the water, but ours ended up being across the street. It was still a super quick walk, so it wasn't a big deal, but if waking up directly to the lake is important to you, definitely double-check which cabin you're booking. We stayed here for three nights and had a great time. The location is honestly one of the best parts. You are so close to the water, and it's a really nice spot for a family trip, a weekend getaway, or just somewhere comfortable to stay while enjoying the area. I wouldn't necessarily call it a romantic cabin getaway, but it was perfect for what we needed. Another thing to keep in mind is that there are certain times of the year when the cabins don't have the AC running. We visited in the middle of September, and it did get a little warm during the day, but the temperature cooled down a lot at night and we slept great. They also provided fans, which helped. The cabin itself was clean and comfortable. The staff was kind and helpful when we interacted with them, although I wouldn't say the service necessarily went above and beyond. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend it, especially for the location. Just make sure you double-check your cabin location when booking if being directly on the water is important to you.

The layout is perfect for a family with a lovely master bedroom, heated by a gas fireplace, and a cozy bedroom on the opposite side for the kids (queen and twin). The open-concept kitchen was well appointed (no dishwasher, but not necessary) and sparkling clean. The living room is heated by a flickering gas fireplace. Well placed couches on either side of the fireplace invited reading and snuggling. The west Tahoe location was fantastic. It is a 10-15-minute walk to the nearest beach, Chambers Landing. Lots of hiking nearby, including the short but stunning walk up to Eagle Rock - wow, what a view! The cabin is situated in a residential area, but feels very private. Very dog-friendly! The management even provided dog bowls and waste bags. Our only complaint was the wifi. It didn't work at all and that was quite frustrating as we needed it for work.

I stayed in a smaller room this time which was the Mountain Hideaway located all the way in the back corner. Since this unit doesn't have a full kitchenette the breakfast and free snacks at the office was included in my stay. But this room did have all you needed from a sink, to a fridge, and a electrified stove which I used to make breakfast one morning. The fridge gets really cold so just watch out your stuff on the top rack may freeze a bit. The room came with a nice tub which I used every night to relax my body. The heater they have in this room works really well and kept me and my doggies warm throughout the day and night. They come and clean your room everyday so this is a major reason why they request for your dogs to be well behaved. I'm coming back here again I hope in the summer. Its located 1 mile from Homewood resort so if you ski or snowboard it's really convenient, especially if your kids are fur babies. Thanks again for another amazing stay, and I'm glad I got to try the breakfast they made it was really good.

Though clean, entering the room we were flooded by a perfume smell that lasted for the stay. Watch for the 1 hour cancelation policy after reserving. Yes, you have 1 hour only. They have a very extensive do's and don'ts list for the residents. Why? I appreciate the heads up, but it certainly raises questions why it's necessary and requiring multiple consents when booking. Past negative experiences? They also strongly encourage buying vacation insurance. Factor that added cost when considering this choice.

The cabin includes a kitchenette - stocked with necessary cook and dishware, a bathroom, a fireplace and private front patio to sit and enjoy the peaceful and fresh air. We will definitely be back on our next trip to the North Shore.

I'm writing this review in hopes that the owners see it. For the past 10 years, our group of 7…read morecouples has taken a grand ski trip together. We rotate ski resorts, and always rent a large house. We like to cook and hang out after a long ski day. This year, we rented this house. I'll start with the positives: It is conveniently located- less than a 5 minute drive to the ski resort (you could walk but there's a pretty good hill to get there and it would be tough in the snow). The house is humongous- you can hang out together or find space to do your own thing. It has a great theater room, ping pong and games downstairs. The indoor pool is great, hot was clean (though small for this size house), the outdoor patio with fireplace is wonderful. The sauna and steam shower are unexpected bonuses! All of these things are great, but the main things you need in a house this big are the things that need attention. The bedrooms are small- the beds aren't bad- mattresses are comfortable though the blankets need replaced. There are quilts and then 'couch throws'. The biggest complaints about the bedrooms were the lack of any type of dresser or place to put clothes- we all just lived out of suitcases bc you couldn't unpack them. Also, just be aware that the bedrooms all have shared bathrooms (in case this is an issue for your group). Finally, the bedrooms in the basement were extremely hot and we could find no temperature control for the 3 rooms so we had to open windows. Our biggest complaint is the kitchen. It is really bad. I've attached pictures of the pots and pans- they needed to be thrown out quite some time ago. There are only a few pans and bakeware (2 baking pans to be exact) and what's there is practically unusable. The baking dishes were cracked down the centers. There are plenty of steak knives though they desperately need sharpened. The toaster only works on one side and barely at that. The dishwasher- well.... the front door is broken- sharply broken around the handle so you have to be very careful opening it, and the racks are missing inside so you cannot stand the plates or anything on the bottom rack- it is usable for only large bowls or pans. The bar stools have leather seats which are all split and torn. The floor is buckling around the kitchen cabinets. The stove was really nice, and the double oven was great too. However, there were no kitchen hot pads or oven mitts, very few kitchen serving spoons or spatulas, etc. There were 2 coffee pots, which was nice but they are older and do not have auto shutoff functions. The kitchen is the most important part of the home when you have a large group- they generally prefer to cook rather than find dinner reservations for 14 people. This kitchen was really a disappointment. There were other things that just really decreased our impression of this home. The parking and driveway are challenging at best. And while there are 2 lovely washing machines and dryers, the doors open in the wrong direction (an easy fix), and the dryers are stacked and are way too high! We had to get stools to reach the controls (men and women- not just short people). The control box for all of the coax cables (cable tv, internet, etc) are hanging out of the wall (see pictures). Considering the money paid for this home for 1 week, I would expect much much more. In summary, this house is a wonderful property that is in great need of TLC, with the kitchen being the biggest problem- a couple of thousand dollars at Target to replenish the kitchen would make a world of difference.
