We stayed for New Years Eve day through the week and had the most amazing time! Booking was a breeze---and the owner, Simon, sent a welcome letter immediately which helped us to prepare for our stay. He was helpful and responsive to any questions--even though he, himself was out of town and celebrating New Years.
We were allowed to use the 3 car garage and that was super helpful since there is no parking on the street when there is snow and we had 5 cars--far to many for the driveway alone. The house has all the amenities we needed, was clean, and LARGE! My huge family was able to reconnect together in the large kitchen/family area or retreat to one of the living areas/bedrooms for some quiet time. The only "awkward" thing was that one of the bedrooms (looks like an office/bedroom in pics) could only be accessed by walking through another bedroom or the outside patio door. Not a big deal for us, though---it was all family and we had no issues with it. We aso wish the hot tub was open for use, but I get that it could be a bear to deal with in the winter with draining after guests, etc. The kids made due in the large master tub instead! :)
The house is close to everything--a less than 30 minute drive to Northstar and Truckee......close to the waterfront for a lake viewing, close to sledding, delicious restaurants in the village---we ordered $500 worth of sushi (enough to feed an army) from the local sushi place and it was AMAZING and fresh!
Long story short, we cant wait to go back to Tahoe in the summer and would stay here again in a heartbeat!
