Very spacious location with wonderful hosts that go out their way to make you comfortable. The ‘Tall Tree lodge’ makes very good use of space and does provide ample bedroom space for families. It does require a fair amount of steps to get up to the house, so consider that if there are folks with ADA needs but otherwise very comfortable and warmly inviting once there!

The cabin is large and well laid out for groups of families with kids given the 2 large, private master bedrooms and the smaller kids rooms w multiple beds. Given the huge amount of snow this year, it was bit harder to get to the Heavenly California lifts than expected, but we still walked to/from and it was easy to make a car drop off as well. Owners were easy to communicate with and have equipped the cabin with plenty of extras to make your stay comfy. If you’re looking for sleek, new & state of the art- look for a different place; but comfortable, close & secluded… then this is your place.

This was was absolutely perfect for our long weekend getaway. We came up with 6 teenage boys for a birthday celebration and the house fit us perfectly. All of the boys took the upstairs bedrooms while my husband and I stayed downstairs. The huge open downstairs was great for hanging out. There were so many outdoor seating areas as well. The hot tub and firepit was great after a long day. There were definitely a lot of steps to get to the house, but this wasn't a big deal for us. The host was very easy to communicate with and showed us around the house when we arrived. This house is old and has been lived in well so don't expect it to be squeaky clean.

The house and yard are wonderful, the location is fantastic. The stairs to the house were a bit hard on the elderly members of my family, but we knew what we were getting into after reading some reviews. The loft bedrooms were also a bit tricky to visualize from the description and it took a few conversations to understand if it would work for us. For our kids, they work great. Better photos or a video tour would be very helpful. All in all, the house was really fun- Great for kids, great for the dog, with plenty of things to get into without even leaving the house. Hot tub was clean, yard was fantastic, awesome mountain biking trail only a couple blocks away, beach down the hill…Hope to return someday. Hosts were wonderful.

Wildlife
The back deck is great for relaxing and watching the wildlife. We even saw a black bear just doing bear things.

45 steps to house
Overall the main living area of the house was nice for a group or family. The house is older and worn. The main issue was the 45 steps to get to the house. It was extremely difficult carrying luggage and our groceries, etc., to the main house. Plus to get to 4 of the beds you have to go through another bedroom or use a very old spiral staircase. There were no written instructions to use hot tub, to use the Roku TV system or departure instructions.

Perfect location!
The location was perfect for our ski trip and the hosts were very accommodating. We did have some concerns regarding cleanliness as there was an obvious ant problem and some rotten food in the fridge. Overall though, our hosts were very responsive to questions throughout our stay.

We had a good time despite all the ash and smoke. The pictures displayed are not entirely correct. There are a lot of steps to get to the main house. Lots of room and it is located close to everything.

We love the Tall Tree Lodge!!
Had such an amazing stay at the Tall Tree Lodge! The location is great and the house is cozy and welcoming. Just a quick drive to the lake and the kids had such a great time exploring the forest in the backyard. We definitely worked out our leg muscles coming and going but it was worth it! Erik was kind and responsive. Would definitely stay again!

Great Stay
Eric and Wendy are extremely hospitable and made us feel comfortable. They were easy to get in touch with and even gave us free food and drinks! We had plenty of space and felt relaxed, the back yard and porch were a favorite spot of ours. This location was also just outside of the main city, not too close and not too far. Perfect for a quick getaway with friends and access to all that Tahoe has to offer. Thank you Eric and Wendy for being great hosts.

Classic Tahoe cabin, with tons of room
We had a great family getaway in this roomy house. Once you get your exercise, up the stairs to the main house, you'll find lots of comforts and fun spaces. The backyard is an open forest, that goes on and on. The beds are comfortable, the hot tub spacious, and we spent hours and hours on the big deck and around the fire pit. Hostess Wendy was friendly and responsive, and answered all inquiries promptly. Could use some instructions on some of the appliances, but all was figured out. Wifi was quick and available. We all agreed we want to come back!

Great location, great hosts
We had a wonderful time. The location was fantastic - we really loved the setting in the woods, there was great space to walk the dog, and it was a 2 minute drive to the California base. The house is very well stocked for cooking, and felt very homey and comfortable. Some might feel it needs a little updating, but everything worked well and it was great for us. The owners were very helpful with suggestions and very communicative. Can't wait to go back. Thanks!

Tall trees grove.
We had a wonderful time staying at your cabin. Very spacious and well equipped. The dogs loved the wide open backyard. Perfect location, and on a heavy snow day, we were able to ski all the way from Heavenly into the backyard! We will definitely come back to stay again. Minor concern: hot tub could use some work in the jets. Thanks for everything.

Exceptional Home
Our pre-holiday getaway to South Lake Tahoe was fabulous thanks to Erik and Wendy's amazing cabin/retreat. This place is conveniently located near beautiful Heavenly Village and offered all of the amenities we wished for. During this time of uncertainty, family time and making wonderful memories is number one! So happy we got away to the much needed change of scenery. Making delicious meals in their well stocked kitchen, playing games at the huge family size dining table and being surrounded by amazing scenery was priceless. Plenty of room for big families and groups. The kids had a blast with fuzeball and the many channel options on the big screen TV in large comfy living area. We loved the nightly outdoor firepit and the indoor fireplaces, too!! We all enjoyed the hot tub on the back porch as the snow fell! Truly a winter wonderland - private yet close to everything. Thank you for the forever imprint our trip to your exceptional VRBO made for all of us in South Lake Tahoe! Living life full and knowing it can change within seconds inspired us to go forward with our vacation plans- so happy we did!!!

Tall Tree Lodge - Best rental house in Tahoe!
We had a small gathering to celebrate the engagement of our son and soon-to-be wife. Tall Tree Lodge had plenty of outdoor seating /space so that we were able to properly distance ourselves and follow CDC guidelines for the pandemic. Wonder were immediately responsive and went above and beyond to accommodate a couple of special requests! We have probably rented two dozen houses in Tahoe over the years, but this was, by far, the best. All guests mentioned how special and perfect the house was for our special occasion!!

Amazing stay
This place is out of the extraordinary, we came in a group of 11 and there was more than enough room for us. Erik was there when we arrived and he showed us the house and what to expect. BEERS & PIZZA?! Yes, Wendy and Erik did that! I would highly recommended this place to any gatherings. The back yard into the wilderness was my favorite spot, the jacuzzi was a bonus. Upstairs master bdrooms have so much space and the bed feels great to sleep on, not those hard cardboard ones. Bikes & beach stuff all ready for us, if we needed it. Everything you see in these photos looks soo much better in person. I would mos def come back and book this place again. Lastly the stairs, i had my workout for the weekend. Overall we had a great stay.

Beautiful Home in the woods!
Erik and Wendy were wonderful hosts! They let us check in early and check out late since we had our boat with us and we wanted to take advantage of the lake one more day. There were 11 of us for a family trip and we all fit comfortably. Such a great place! We loved it!

Great stay in Tahoe
The cabin was perfect for us. More than enough space for a family of five and a dog. Easy access to mountain trails, and very close to restaurants and shops as well. The kitchen contained everything we needed and we were even able to take advantage of the grill one night.
I highly recommend this property and would definitely stay there again.

Relaxing Paradise
Fun place to stay!! Lots of little areas to spread out and explore. Close to all of South Lake. Owners were amazing and super responsive. Our kids thought it was the coolest house ever. One thing to note, there is a TON of stairs up to the house and inside. It would not be good for a new walker, older person or anyone with an injury.

Great location! Pet paradise
Great house with lots of beds and big bathrooms. The backyard is like your own forest. The dogs couldnt wait to roam around in the morning and all through the day. The hot tub was gorgeous with lights and gets hot. The owners were so nice and set up the outside fire pit w fresh wood. They also left pizza and beer in the fridge for when we arrived. The heater was super easy to use as well as the huge livingroom tv. I was able to work easily with the strong wifi. We logged into our Vudu and Netflix easily. The house is super close to heavenly and the casinos. Our Toyota tundra fit in the garage as well so no worrying about bears getting into it. Quiet street. Definitely would recommend.

Nice place in a great location
Our family enjoyed our stay. The owners were easy to communicate with and very accommodating. The house itself is large, comfortable, and peacefully situated in the woods. Very close to the CA Lodge at Heavenly and near some great hiking. Also only a quick trip into town if needed. Overally really enjoyed our stay.

Guys Ski Vacation
The property is as advertised. We had plenty of room for our group and especially enjoyed the large living/dining room and kitchen. Plenty of room for large groups to congregate. The loft bedrooms are perhaps a little awkward in some situations but it worked fine for our group.
