About this house rental

// This home is a short term rental only

**DOGS CONSIDERED**

Calling all hikers, bikers, and cross-country skiers… this is the one for you! The location doesn’t get any better. The backyard of Trailside Escape opens up to the meadows of the Tahoe City Nordic Center. Adventure is literally at your doorstep!

The home itself is an ideal blend of form and function. Enter on the lower level which contains all 3 of the bedrooms. Two bedrooms, one with a Queen and one with a Twin plus a set of Twin bunk beds, share a guest bathroom in the hall. The ample King master bedroom has a TV, walk-in closet, en-suite bathroom complete with jetted tub and separate shower, and sliding glass door leading to the backyard.

Upstairs, enjoy the open great room with kitchen, dining area (table seats 8), and living room with large sofa, wood burning fireplace and half bathroom. French doors lead to a cozy and well-equipped family room, featuring game table, wet bar, flat screen TV, and gas fireplace. For larger groups (maximum total occupancy is 9), the family room also offers a plush Queen sofa bed and a full bathroom.

Just off of the upstairs living area, a spacious deck with gas grill (SUMMER ONLY) and table for outdoor dining overlooks the tranquil meadow behind the house. On the lower level, a luxurious hot tub awaits. Ping Pong table for guest use as well

The community known as The Highlands sits just two miles east of downtown Tahoe City. This quiet residential neighborhood offers a serene setting and beautiful meadow views, but is just a five minute drive from the many dining, shopping and recreation options in Tahoe City.

Skylandia State Park and Beach is only a mile from the base of the Highlands neighborhood. The sandy beach features a pier and swimming area. While the beach itself is not pet-friendly, dogs are welcome in the park area. Skylandia Park provides barbeques and picnic areas, hiking and biking trails, and gorgeous lake views.

During ski season, it’s just 15-20 minutes to Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows, two of the premier Tahoe ski areas. A single lift ticket provides access to both resorts, and the Squaw/Alpine Express offers between-mountain transportation every 20-30 minutes. Five other amazing North Tahoe ski areas are also nearby.

Bedroom 1 - Downstairs Master, King Bed
Bedroom 2 - Downstairs, Queen Bed

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was my first visit to Tahoe and some of it was wonderful but other aspects were disappointing.Sand Harbor beach was crowded and dogs are not allowed so to access the lake we had to hike to Chimney Rock and further to Whale beach but each place was beautiful and few people due to the hikes. Beaches with easy access do not allow dogs which is disappointing but due to negligent owners it is understandable.The Highlands neighborhood is wonderful, long time friendly residents and excellent trail access through woods and paved roads. All dogs in the woods were off leash with attentive owners and all were friendly. Great hikes.Gas prices are unreasonably high, over $6.00 per gallon and lakeside restaurant entrees are $50.00 and none allow dogs on the outside patio areas.The best part of Tahoe is getting out hiking and exploring, the woods, the lake, the skies and stars are breathtaking and cost nothing to enjoy.

Overall this is a lovely property. All of the bedrooms are downstairs and stay relatively cool, although there is a bit of a basement feel to the downstairs. For us, the best part of the house was the view from the upstairs deck and spending time on the deck in the mornings and evenings when it was cool. While the back yard is somewhat fenced in, the fence doesn't come all the way to the side of the house, so there is no way to let your dog out in the back yard and know that she can't just walk around the side of the house to the street. That was disappointing. Also, the house was advertised as having a dishwasher and when we arrived a sign on the dishwasher said it was out of service. Handwashing piles of dishes every day while on vacation, when I am used to having a dishwasher at home, was a BIG bummer. Parts of the house have been updated and parts haven't, (i.e. no baseboards and painting needed, carpet in bathrooms), but again, overall, it was a lovely home, and the management company was very friendly all along the way. Also a nice quiet neighborhood and when in the backyard, you can't really see any nearby neighbors. I would stay here again, after making sure the dishwasher worked. :)

We stayed at this house in the summer, and found it enjoyable. The location is great, and near bike and walking trails. It is close enough to Tahoe City to pop in and get what you need, but far enough away to be in a relaxing and quiet neighborhood. The house is well stocked with cooking gear (although a little beat-up, as you'd expect from a Tahoe rental). Good grill outside, and a large kitchen for preparing meals for everyone without bumping into each other the whole time. Lots of space in the house for relaxing and hanging out, especially in the TV area with couches, a table, and bar space. All three bedrooms are downstairs and close to each other, and the "kids room" is good for families that need enough beds. The management group was very responsive to messages, and check-in/out process was straightforward.

The house was as described and perfect for our group. It was clean, comfortable, quiet, and spacious. The kitchen was well appointed and we cooked several meals. Overall, the house had everything we needed and was conveniently located to downtown Tahoe City. Like most houses in the area, there is no central AC, but that was not an issue due to the cool nights and abundant fans. Even with above average temps, we were cool and comfortable. Communication with Hauserman Rental Group staff was excellent prior to and during our stay. We didn't have any issues during stay which resulted in a need to contact them, but I am confident we would have had an immediate response. We would definitely stay again.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our second stay and we are ready to book for next year! We love this house for its location (best hiking trails, 4 minutes to dog beach, 10 minutes to Truckee River) and size. It’s comfortable and great for kids. We appreciated the new fridge this time (might be time to update the other appliances and some kitchen accessories, but we made do). Hausserman was responsive with a leaky dishwasher and overflowing bear trash can. Thank you and we’ll see you next year!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a fantastic week in Tahoe while staying at Trailside Escape. This home met all of our needs with one exception. The sleeping accommodations are better for a smaller group, including young kids, but not great for our group that included young adults in their 20's. The room with the twin beds is super small and the sleeper sofa is off the kitchen so there's no privacy. We also felt that the beds could be made a bit more comfortable. But everything else about this home is fantastic and I would highly recommend it for the right groups!
