About this house rental
Enjoy your Tahoe vacation in this large family home in a desired location of Tahoe City. This home has a large backyard and backs up to the Tahoe City golf course. Walking distance to downtown Tahoe City and Commons beach, and only minutes to major ski resorts. In the winter the course turns into a community winter park with Nordic skiing, snowshoeing and sledding right out the back door. In the summer, walk to Tahoe City, bike the trails along the lake or to Palisades Tahoe, or have a BBQ in the lovely backyard.
This large single story home is perfect for the entire family's enjoyment. Sit back and relax and relish in the famous local family memorabilia. The main living room has a nice gas log fireplace and plenty of seating for movie night. There is seating for 12 for dining, and a fully stocked retro kitchen that you will fall in love with, and with, two supermarkets available within 1 mile; you can stock up on your way in for you may never want to leave!

Great location and facilities, 10 minute walk to downtown Tahoe City. Five minute drive to Safeway and 15 minutes to Alpine Ski resort. View of the lake too! Plenty of bathrooms and storage spaces. Kitchen has all of your needs for a large family gathering. Spacious bedrooms and plenty of deck/yard space. Beds, linens and towels were first rate. Only issues were minor plumbing problems between the kitchen and laundry room utility sinks. TV reception was not great, but we really did not watch it anyway. Played cards and games every night. Tahoe Rental Management Team responded quickly and was very professional. I would rent again or highly recommend to another.

The location of the house is absolutely ideal. Walking distance to trails, lakeside restaurants and tucked away in the woods with an enormous beautiful yard surrounded by trees. I loved waking up every morning seeing the lake outside the dining room window. They have ice skating down below at the Golf Course Clubhouse for families. I loved learning the history of the home when reading the books they have and sitting by the fire. Our family loved staying here for Christmas and the kids had a blast! Will definitely be renting again!

This was our second time renting this property, previously in the snow of winter and recently in the sunny summer. This house is a very comfortable, well equipped place that is very centrally located so that it is possible to walk to Commons Beach on the shore of the Lake, the golf course which parallel the back property line, the zip line course at Granlibakken, many restaurants in Tahoe City as well as Safeway and CVS. The house is clean and well equipped, the beds comfortable, and the patio furniture/grill in the back of the house are perfect for relaxing outside any time of the day. Our first stay was during “Snowmaggedon” in December 2021. Despite the fact that there was two-three feet of new snow daily for almost our entire stay, the house was warm, the drying room inside the house worked great, and the snow removal service came daily so despite the enormous amount of snowfall, we had no trouble getting out to the multiple local ski resorts. If you dream of a mountain chalet with high vaulted ceilings and enormous picture windows, this place is not for you. But, if you want a very functional, comfortable, convenient base for a Tahoe vacation independent of the time of year for a group of couples or a multi-generational family celebration, you should seriously consider this property.

Loved the location of the house. Very close to shops/groceries. We arrived after the big atmospheric storms. Driveway was shoveled and had no issues parking. Plenty of space, dishes, pots/pans. Having the warming room for ski equipment was a plus.The house could be more modernized tho. I had an unpleasant experience that kept me uneasy for 3 days. The first morning, I saw a mouse in the back Master Bedroom that scared/startled me. I did not want to alarm to other families and just moved all our food/bags in the kitchen to higher grounds. It might be good get an exterminator in.

A fabulous place for a family getaway
This place checked all the boxes for us, plus more! It had plenty of room for the four families, the snowy backyard was a winter wonderland for the 4 kids in tow, the kitchen had great space for cooking and conversation, and the living room was a cozy gathering spot. It’s a short drive to a local Safeway for groceries. And, when a heating issue popped up, the Tahoe Rental Company, the rental property management team were courteous, professional and quick to come out with a fix. It was a fantastic experience!

Lucky to have found this
This property was big enough to fit our big group. It has everything you need. I believe I was the first traveler in VRBO so I would suggest to put basics like oil, shampoo and soap. Other than that, what a fantastic place, we kept of playing all the games we found at the house. Thanks for your hospitality!

Great stay during our destination wedding
Property had ample parking and on a flat driveway. Easy access and very private back yard. Home is build in 1951 but maintained and very cozy and warm for all of us that stayed there. We all agreed we would like to gather there again in the future.

Perfect location
This place is perfectly located by all you’ll need to have a great stay in Tahoe. We loved that everyone had their own bedroom and bathroom. The beds were so comfy everyone commented on how well we slept and how cozy the feeling was. The place is not updated but it is clean and well laid out. Really didn’t need anything more. It had fans, ac, heat, fire. Washer dryer in case you need a quick wash. Best of all we easily Parked our boat in the front. Great overall, plan on coming again.

Great Tahoe hideaway
This home has a relaxing cabin feel on a beautiful property, is spacious, and has many amenities. The only disappointment was the backyard patio set and chairs were still locked up for winter. We were there over Mother’s Day weekend, it was warm, and we would have enjoyed it. Thanks for a great stay!

Great home
I don’t think I can say one thing negative about the property. It is very conveniently located downtown downtown and perfect for skiing family. I cooked dinner and breakfast for everyone in the kitchen felt well equipped. We like the extra refrigerator in the laundry room for drinks. Overall, we will look this place up again.

Mom's Christmas Wish
It was my wish to have everyone together for the holidays but that is harder as adult children take on partners with families they also want to spend time with so we picked two weeks before the holiday for the kids, their partners and dogs to stay with us and my mom (85) who moved in last March. Igloo Alley was perfect. Everyone had their own bedroom and bathroom, the three who had to work found quiet corners to be productive, the kitchen was well stocked so we cooked nearly every day and even continued our 30+ year holiday cookie painting party. We walked to town or to groceries effortlessly and watched holiday movies and listened to Christmas carols while enjoying the beautiful view. This house gave me my Christmas wish early. Thank you. We will all be back.

We spent the first week of October at Igloo Alley. We were really pleased with the location; it is only a 10 minute walk to all the shops and restaurants of Tahoe City. In addition, it backs up to the Tahoe City Golf Course and you have a small area of trees that open up to provide a view of the Lake. The backyard is huge with a two large decks, plenty of chairs and tables to enjoy being outdoors. Our dog loved the property with all the trees and green grass. There was a neighborhood black and white dog which like to come around and relieve itself in the yard, which was a bit upsetting to our dog, but otherwise she loved all the birds and squirrels running about. The house itself is very comfortable and quaint. It has plenty of seating in the living room and dining room so that everyone can hang out together. The kitchen was well-equipped with two coffee pots (Mr. Coffee and Keurig), as well as an electric tea kettle. The stove, oven and microwave worked great. The beds that we used were all very comfortable and the bathrooms were clean and well-lit. This would be a great location for a larger family to stay and feel comfortable together, but also have plenty of privacy as well. There is a cemetery two-doors down, which is very fascinating to inspect. It appears that the original owners are buried there, nearest to the golf course with some other family members. They must have been very involved with the community before their passing.I would definitely recommend this very nice home to anyone interested in being away from the hustle and bustle of a resort, but close enough to town to enjoy all the amenities it has to offer.
