About this house rental
// This home is a short term rental only
**DOGS CONSIDERED**
This rustic mountain chalet is very close to downtown Tahoe City, yet far enough out of town to experience a relaxing getaway! The home features a nice new outdoor hot tub on the side deck overlooking the nursery and woodsy setting, with a gas grill (summer only) and low, fenced-in backyard, great for a little dog or one that doesn't like to jump. The interior offers high cathedral ceilings, slate floors, and a big rock fireplace all make this property a cozy retreat. The lower level features a sunken living room with a porthole window, complete with TV/DVD, HD cable package, and Bluetooth speaker. An open floor plan offers a dining area with a large dining table with seating for 6 and picture windows. The kitchen features knotty pine paneling, tiled counter tops, a wet bar, and counter stools.
Each of the two downstairs bedrooms have queen beds, with a fully renovated hall bathroom. The master bedroom is up the spiral staircase and features a queen bed and an updated 3/4 bath.
Only a 1/2 mile walk or bike to town along the bike path. This is a great spot for 6 guests who want to be near the action in Tahoe City!

We had a great experience at the Bechtold property, you cannot BEAT this LOCATION! Walkable to pastries at Tahoe House and a great health food store nearby, 5 min to downtown Tahoe City, river rafting, grocery store, it met all our needs for being close to shopping and fun and beaches, hikes.
The deck is lovely and hot tub very clean. Overlooks a nursery and lots of trees around it doesn't at all feel or sound like you are right off a main road. It's a quiet neighborhood and the house well appointed.
Loved that there are so many fans in the house to keep running to stay cool. Would definitely rent this place again.

Only difficult part was tandem parking the cars, but no issues overall.

We enjoyed snow play in the long driveway and yard. The house is well designed and reflects classic architectural choices of the 70’s. I really liked the trash compactor which held our discards for the 5-day stay without needing to be emptied.

Everything was clean and enjoyed the hot tub. The house is walking distance to town and Tahoe House for coffee and good euro food.

This cabin had all the basic supplies one would need to be comfortable. The fans in bedrooms were appreciated as the days were warm. We had plenty of linens and paper products. The rental company personnel were helpful. We were especially happy we could bring our dog.

This was our first Vrbo rental and we had a wonderful experience. Communication was on point leading up to our stay. Once we arrived, the property was clean, stocked, pet friendly (except a few big stairs) and comfortable. It’s located in a quiet neighborhood, fenced backyard and with a garden nursery within walking distance. A very short driving distance to eateries and shopping. We drove about 25 min to Patton Beach since it was listed as dog friendly and it didn’t disappoint. Easy to set up chairs, blankets and paddle boards right into the water. The day before our departure, we received clear instructions for leaving the property and making sure trash was locked in the bear bin. Definitely recommend property.
4.6
This is my favorite area of Tahoe to stay in. The house was a little bit older, but that was not a problem for me, it was advertised fairly, and the location was exactly where I wanted to be. Would definitely stay again.
4.6
Enjoyed our stay, size,patio & hot tub were fine. Beds we're comfortable but a King in the master would feel great. Place needs a thorough cleaning. Couches are dingy & torn, beautiful windows are dirty. Hot tub wasn't serviced during our stay, so I can't tell when it was last cleaned: scary. Road noise is busy and windows don't open easily for cool air. Located behind large nursery so heavy equipment runs frequently. Last thing, the sofa in loft isn't there! Manager did drop off a air bed, fine for 10 yr old. Place has great potential but needs a freshening up.
4.6
Property is very clean and important aspects such as kitchen and bathrooms have been updated and nice. Architecturally the house is pleasing, especially large round window and fireplace. Furniture is dated, but functional. One downer, is house is very close to route 89 and commercial properties thus traffic was loud and constant.

I would recommend this property. I stayed with a party of 5 and we had plenty of space. Everything was working (fireplace, hot tub, Internet) and we had no major issues. The place looks like it does in the photos. I called them property manager several times with questions and always got prompt answers. It was great to have wood on site for the fireplace.
Minor feedback / advice for hosts and future guests
- With all the snow this winter, the entry steps were basically an ice trench. Watch your step.
- In the hot tub 3 of the 4 bubble jets were not functional but I think this has been true for a while.
- The kitchen was pretty well stocked but we couldn’t find Tupperware for leftovers
- Cable TV works but was not connected to Internet for streaming services
- Bear fencing at entry doors doesn’t have step-by-step instructions

Our family of four had a lovely time at this cabin. The living room area was so cozy with a fireplace and the best view out a unique large porthole window! The wifi was solid, the hot water was never a problem, and the kitchen had everything we needed. The location is just a short drive to grocery stores, Granlibakken, Commons Beach, Za’s Lakefront restaurant, and a Tesla charging station. There was too much snow on the ground to really enjoy the back yard but maybe next time!
4.6
Property is close to Tahoe City, about 10 minutes from Alpine and 15 minutes from Squaw. Comfortable “vintage” style mountain home. Love the large circle window! Only reason why I rated 4 star and not 5 star is some features of the property are dated. Otherwise everything was very clean and we enjoyed our stay! Would stay again.

Reviewer Comments:
This was a really cool little cabin in a location that's close to a lot of activities, grocery store, restaurants, etc. However, they conveniently left out some of the negatives in the listing. For example, the pics make it look as though this is in a secluded location and it is NOT. It has a jacuzzi and it technically works except half the water jets were missing. That said, we enjoyed our stay. The place was very clean, the kitchen was well stocked with pots pans etc and a wide range of utensils which made making meals easy, and there where plenty of towels, pillows and linens provided for a comfortable stay. Would recommend, but if the jacuzzi was the draw for you, you might be a bit disappointed.

We had 5 adults, very comfortable. Not fancy but had everything imaginable, kitchen stocked, linens. Place very clean. Enjoyed the hot tube in the snow!

It was a perfect rental for our group of six. We loved being able to walk to Tahoe City and to the local corner store. Great place to relax but convenient to local restaurants and needs.

This cabin was the perfect place for our family to rest and relax after biking, skiing, and attending event at Palisades. The layout accommodated 5 of us comfortably and the fenced back yard was perfect for storing bikes out of sight. TV setup was awesome for late night movies too. It’s nice, not too fancy and very homey. Would definitely stay again!

A very good rental option but MGMT should provide a manual for the TV/Cable/sound system. Fireplace tools were all broken. MGMT delivered a new poker. Conflicting info on trash pickup- notices said Friday & Tuesday. Good selection of pots/pans except no small sauce pot. Mgmt also delivered a 2nd shovel for epic snowfall so, they were responsive.

The house was very clean and cozy. We really enjoyed the hot tub. My only suggestion would be to add more towels for the hot tub. There were only 2. Also, the outside deck was full of droppings from the trees. Perhaps when the house is being readied for guests, a good sweeping of the deck and hot tub would be great

Everything was as described and we had a great time. It was a bit hot for sleeping with no AC but that's normal for Tahoe and we expected it.

We had a lovely time with our family here. Awesome location, very near and yet we felt secluded at the house. Very clean, well-stocked kitchen. Just one note is that it was super hot inside the house and the fans didn’t quite make it comfortable. We had a little hard time sleeping. Wonder if you could bring in portable AC for hot days?

We really enjoyed the home. Would 100% recommend
