The house lost power during a storm that resulted in an areawide power outage. The house had no power backup, and no source of heat as the house had no lighters to light the gas stove. We eventually borrowed a lighter from the neighbors since the roads were covered in a foot of snow so we could not drive. We had a reservation for 5 nights, and left 1 day early as soon as the roads were drivable since there was no power. We asked for a refund for the 1 night we could not stay and the 2 nights without power, and were refused any refund or compensation. Storms in Tahoe area in winter are fairly common, so strongly recommend you do not stay here in the winter.

We stayed over for a week. The house is conveniently located, clean, spacious and comfortable, with tons of board games for the kids. It was beautiful to see all those beautiful trees in the back. Also, the light incline on back of the house provides a fantastic spot for sledding. Would recommend and would come back.

Overall was great. Just a few recommendations. Bed on main level was too hard and needs replaced. Kitchen should have dish towels, common seasoning (salt, pepper, garlic and some cooking oil) and hot pads.

What can you say about this house. They had everything we needed, from board games, to lawn chairs, to life jackets. We wished we could have stayed a bit longer :). Thank you for the great place! Would definitely come here again!

The house is spacious and has everything which is described in the ad. The location is good, the neighborhood is quite and within a 10 minute ride you will be in South Lake Tahoe downtown. The Kitchen has a good fridge, some good pots and also 2 or 3 usable knives. But you should know, that there are absolutely no pantry items provided, not even salt or sugar. There are also no foils or ziplocs or whatever, so you should bring your own. Most annoyingly for us was the absence of kitchen towels. There is Dishwasher detergent for one cleaning per day. The BBQ hasn’t been cleaned in aeons, it was so dirty that I almost threw up. Around the BBQ lay half a dozend dead roaches but I am not complaining about the roaches, I am aware that they are part of our ecosystem, I am complaining about the gross BBQ which of course attracts cockroaches to come into the house. I told vacasa about this problem and they said, that they will send someone to clean the BBQ but no-one came. The cleanliness inside of the house was good though. Some of the beds where squeaky , and the mattress in the MBR was pretty much worn out. From the windows in the house you can watch the wildlife in the woods, which is great.

Perfect for our family peaceful and very clean No ac but many fans were available. Great customer service. Will come back because our kids live this home

The property was very nice. The neighbors were nice too. Far enough away so that it's more private, but close enough to activities. We thought that it could have been cleaner (ie white bath rugs. white doors), fresh smelling bedding. We wanted to hike in the forest behind the house which was a top selling point, but we had a visit from a bear and decided not to take a chance. Overall, we would rent it again.

Very clean and great place to enjoy with friends and family

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had four adults with plenty of room. Home was clean and the beds were comfortable. The home is close enough to town and far enough to be surrounded by beauty.

This property is an ideal place to stay when visiting South Lake Tahoe. We really hope to come back here again as soon as possible and I can’t recommend it enough! However if I had to be a critic for a few things here and there I would say that there were a few problems with the following: 1. The upstairs toilet did not work properly and was unusable the entire stay. 2. The Wi-Fi would not work even after multiple router reboots. 3. The Cable TV strangely has a very limited number of actual channels available, seemed unusual. 4. Many rental properties provide K-cups for their Keurig coffee machines, would’ve been nice to have a few coffees stocked at the cabin for in the mornings. All in all the cabin is a fantastic place and we look forward to returning! And the Turnkey liaison we dealt with for the toilet issue was very quick to respond and extremely helpful. Thank you! :)

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our second time staying at the gold dust house. It had everything we needed for our getaway to the lake.

Underside of upstairs toilet seat was dirty from previous guest. Two sets of dirty towels. Some of the kitchen utensils were dirty. Kitchen faucet nozzle was loose. Ice maker was clogged with ice and required clearing. Foosball table was rickety and one corner was broken. The Spectrum cable and WIFI were not functioning upon our arrival. We had to spend half a day of our vacation with the Spectrum tech's who were cable to get the cable working but not the WIFI as the home owner's routers were old and would not connect to the network. The Spectrum tech was nice enough to loan us a router for the weekend so our college student could take their final exam! Nice home, plenty of space, but don't let the pictures fool you--this place needs some work.

We were so impressed with the property! It was very clean, spacious and comfortable. The location is perfect. It's about 10 minutes to town, and in a very nice neighborhood. There's a network of biking trails all around the neighborhood. We needed a few things during our stay and the house management team was very responsive and helpful. It was really a great experience all the way around. We only wished that we had more time there! we could have used several more days to continue enjoying the stay!

I traveled here for a family get together with my sister and dad. The house was perfect. It has a nice, large, well stocked, open kitchen. The seating around the family and living rooms were very comfortable. The deck overlooking the forest is so peaceful and a beautiful spot.

Really enjoyed the property. Our group had an unbelievable stay at this house. Highly recommend

All the outdoor activities were close by so we enjoyed bike riding and beach kayaking. Although a lot of people were at the beach, people were courteous and nice. We might visit here again.

This house was everything we imagined and more! Turn key made it very easy to check in. It was very clean and well kept. The house is located in a neighborhood that is very quiet. Overall, we had a great stay and would stay here again!

This property was excellent had a good time all our needs were met just wished we could have checked out a little bit later and checked in a little earlier

Great place to stay!

The house was fantastic, spacious and clean. There are lots of games to play, and two large living rooms for watching movies. Close to town but secluded, with easy access to Heavenly and Kirkwood. We will definitely come back.

Good neighborhood. Quite. Nice roomy house.Cable channels can be improved. Not much selections with old movies. Could not figure out how to play DVD's.

The house was clean and it had everything we needed, it felt like a home away from home.
