5.0 / 5.0
We really enjoyed our stay in this home. It is lovely, and sits in a nice neighborhood close to the Lake. The location was a few minutes from the restaurants and shops of Tahoe City, but very quiet. We were surprised by the bear wires, given that we had never traveled to the area before, but got used to them quickly. I would happily recommend this home to others.
5.0 / 5.0
Beautiful home in very quiet neighborhood. Located quite high up the side of a mountain area. Home had all the amenities we could possibly want however, the TV Wi-Fi was a bit spotty. Property management was very very helpful. I thank them for their hospitality. We would definitely stay in this home again of course it’s in one of the most beautiful places in the world, Lake Tahoe.

My friends and I enjoyed our stay in this home. Our only complaint is not being provided with the small things like soap, shampoo, kleenex. Otherwise, it was great.

We enjoyed our stay very much. The property is beautiful, well decorated and clean. We had an issue and the property manager responded very quickly. Our 2 year old twin granddaughters enjoyed their bunk beds and play room.

We had an incredible stay! The house was awesome for our family of 5, and my parents joined us for a couple of days. Great location. The Sauna and pool table were fantastic. The bedrooms were great, and the beds were comfy. The dining area fit our family and my brother's family very nicely. The only slight drawback was the Smart TV in the main area was a bit dated, and didn't have Disney or Apple TV app options for the kids. Otherwise, everything was top-notch. Would happily stay there again.

We enjoyed our time together at this home. It met our expectations and needs for a family vacation. We would certainly stay there again. Great location to the activities we wanted to do. Quiet neighborhood. The roads were even kept clean with all the snow we had. Communication with rental company was spot on. Perfect memories were made.

We really appreciated staying in this beautiful and cozy home, very well situated, not a far drive from skiing at Palisades. Everything was terrific and very comfortable. This home is well appointed and there was plenty of space for our family of five. It was a welcoming place to return to after our days of skiing. Our young adults loved the pool table and sauna. Views of the pines were spectacular from the many windows, especially after the snow storm. We would recommend this home to any of our friends!

We always look for a house that has separate bedrooms and living room space for teenagers and adults. This one fit the bill.

This was our second time staying here and we loved it just as much as the first. Tons of room, games for the kids, pool table, sauna, stocked kitchen. What isn't to like about this property. Will be staying here again in the future for sure.

Lovely stay during the extreme snow event of 2023. This home is well up the mountain from the lake but with many homes in that area. While 4 wheel drive is recommended in the winter the roads and driveway were incrediblely well maintained. The owner makes the garage available so our cars were warm and dry. The home very well equiped and maintained and quite roomy. Great for family groups will a great play room for the kids. The kitchen and living room were also great and comportable for us adults. Thank you to the hosts and rental service company who present and responsive to our calls.

House was juat what we needed for 2 grandparents, 2 parents, 3 young ones in bunkbeds.
Our only problem was all the unleashed dogs.
1, known as Merlin, chased and scared my little granddaughter.
Not happy about all the dogs running loose.
Besides that, it was a wonderful vacation home.
5.0 / 5.0
Very nice house, confortable, great social areas, too bad we couldn’t use the BBQ in the terrace. Kitchen very well equipped, very good utensils, cutlery and glassware, makes a difference when cooking, drinking a good wine or mixing your favorite drink.

This home was beautiful and much larger in person. It had all of the amenities, games, and a fully stocked kitchen. It’s a quick drive to Palisades and downtown Tahoe city. The neighborhood was quiet and beautiful. Check in and check out were super easy and I will definitely plan on staying here again. Thank you for a lovely stay!
4.0 / 5.0
Good location and has good amenities overall. We had a good time!
Some things that we realized after booking:
1. There’s a separate check in process that requires downloading a separate app
2. I wish the listing explained what cleaning items are covered and what not on Vrbo so guests know what to expect upfront. We paid for hundreds for cleaning fee but were still requested doing quite some cleaning per rental instructions. This includes running the first load of bed sheets.
3. It’s hard to know if the blankets on the sofas and the beds are cleaned.
4. One of the bedrooms is right next to the garage which we didn’t realize. People would need to walk through the bedroom to get to public area to avoid heavy snow at the front door.
That said we still had a good weekend at the rental. We quite enjoyed the sauna and playing pool.
5.0 / 5.0
Fabulous home! Great location. We especially loved the kitchen, pool table, games and sauna. Crazy the amount of snow right now. I was bummed to hear there was a neighbor complaint about using the driveway to turn around. We’re a very respectful family, so that was odd. I’m guessing there’s a history there. That doesn’t take away from our wonderful experience there though. Thank you again!

I really love this place, so cozy and nice! My husband and I took kids and mom to spend a weekend there, we had a great time! Maybe English isn’t my first language, I don’t know how to express, all I can say this place is really clean, organized and really really cozy! Easy to find, great location as well. Will rebook again in the future:)

Enjoyed our 3 night getaway in the snow. Having never stayed in this part of Tahoe we enjoyed the new experience. Easy location to head north to Incline Village or South for fun in South Lake Tahoe. Loved the upstairs area, the pool table, sauna and overall look and feel of this home. I also appreciated the extensive TV channels so I could watch football.
5.0 / 5.0
Our family of 6 enjoyed our stay at this home. Wonderful quiet neighborhood with views of the lake. It's some distance from Tahoe City, not walkable. Kitchen is well equipped for cooking. We were here on a very hot weekend and the house has no AC. There are fans that keep it barely livable during the day and comfortable at night. Home needs new pillows and linens, but otherwise a very nice place for a family getaway.

We rented Challies Chalet for 10 days in July, 2022 because we had previously owned a home in Talmont approximately 3 blocks away from Challies Chalet and enjoyed the quiet neighborhood, the Paige meadows trails, and the Tahoe Park HOA beach that comes with the houses in that neighborhood. This is an older house with 3 bedrooms and a huge recreation/family room with pool table and sauna. The master bedroom is large, but the other 2 bedrooms are very small, one being a bunkbed room that has approximately 3 feet between the beds. The street is quiet and borders the Paige meadows wilderness. We enjoyed our stay but would like to advise future renters about a serious issue with the neighbor across the street. Within 5 minutes of arriving he was telling my wife to move her car, that it was parked in front of his driveway, when it was actually parked in front of a conservancy lot (permanently preserve open space) that he had created an illegal dirt driveway on without a curb cut and was driving all his trucks and equipment over to get to the dirt behind his house. This neighbor also had a large snow clearing bulldozer blade parked permanently in the street by his house. The 4th night we were there we had dinner on our deck in the front of the house with our friends who were staying in another cabin in the HOA development. We are all in our 60s and are doctors and health professionals. The neighbor called the property manager at 9 pm to complain about the noise we were making, which was absurd, we were simply barbecuing and eating dinner outside from 7-9pm. He also complained about the cars parked on the street by our friends. According to the property manager (Tahoe Rental Company) there was a law passed in the last 60 days making illegal to park on the street if the house is a short term rental. Another issue with the property management company was they insisted I pay $100 for a broken ceramic horse on the book shelve that was broken when we arrived.

I would have the owners clear out a couple of cabinets so that the renter could put their groceries away. There is absolutely no space other than that all was great.

Excellent property, almost exactly as described
This is a beautiful house in a quiet, very nice part of town at a higher elevation. The listing is managed by the very professional Tahoe rentals group for which I have only the nicest things to say.
The property itself is well maintained, has abundant kitchen supplies and utensils and high quality cookware and appliances.

This house is on a very quiet street, that is near hiking trails and open forest area. There is enough of a slope and enough room to sled on the side of the house. The street to get to the house is really steep 12% grade so might be a problem for people without 4 wheel drive. There is a sign that says chains recommended if snowing or icy. But not deal breaker just have to be really careful in the snow (duh lol) we really enjoyed the house. The sauna and pool table were great and overall the house is in great shape with good furnishings. I had read on other reviews where people complained about toilet paper and paper towels not being enough for a long stay and they start you with 2 extra rolls in each bathroom. we brought extra paper towels and just ended up taking a roll of tp for one of the lesser used bathroom. More tp would be nice for longer stays but we did have enough for 6 people and 5 days. 6 days would have been ify. Kitchen was very well stocked lots of spices and nice plates cups etc. there was also a mixer and a crock pot. I would stay here again. We really enjoyed the quiet street and went for a lot of walks. 8 mins to save mart and lots of nice places to eat close by. (8-10 min) also lots of books and games. The only thing i disliked was the heat control. the themostat in the master bedroom controls the back of the house, upstairs and downstairs (master bedroom and game room) and took a while to get the downstairs warm without cooking in the bedroom. But we got it figured out. The only other thing would be i would like to see some better pots and pans, we made everything work of course but some new pans would be nice. great trip and we cant wait to be there again. thank you for sharing your house with us.

Challies Chalet was a perfect getaway spot for a Great Tahoe experience! Sits up on the hill above Sunnyside, away from traffic and close to Page Meadows trails. Expansive kitchen, dining and living room area opening out onto deck on one side and master bedroom on the other. Pool table w/extra living room, Sauna, 2 bedrooms and garage on bottom floor. Private beach access next to Sunnyside is wonderful perk! Thanks
