Paola was absolutely great and understanding. We originally had the property booked for the end of August when the fires were happening, Paola graciously allowed us to reschedule our reservation. Paola was also kind enough for us to check in earlier and check out later. I love that the property had everything we needed in terms of utensils, plates, cups and even body wash, shampoo and conditioner. It was very thoughtful. It was a great experience.

Our family group of 6 adults, 4 kids, and 2 dogs stayed in July. The house was big enough to accommodate all of us comfortably with futons to spare! The deck and main living space are great and we had plenty of room to eat and play. The kitchen was well equipped to make big family style meals. We appreciated the games and books. Overall the house was very kid and pet friendly, aside from a set of stairs open on one side. The house was a short drive to the beach, and we really enjoyed evening walks on the forest service trails easily accessible in the lovely, quiet neighborhood. The house does not have A/C, and most of the windows do not have screens. In the 90+ degree heat the house got very hot during the day. It did cool down at night - but then we had bugs through the open windows. The upper and lower bedrooms have minimal ventilation options and were warm pretty late. There were two portable fans, which we put in those rooms. I think this would be a cozy house other times of year, but we probably would not rent in high summer again. Also, the only entrances to the home are through bedrooms up narrow stairs - the couple staying in the room with no door had to go through other people’s bedrooms to get in or out - not a big deal for our group but worth knowing in advance.

Paola’s house was perfect for a spring skiing trip to Northstar. Paola was very helpful and communicative. House could comfortably sleep 10 and was reasonably priced for the area. 5 mins from the grocery store and lots of cool hikes close by. Would definitely recommend!

Our host, Paola, was very responsive and helpful. We loved the hikes right from the front door, and our son found places to fish nearby. The lakefront at King’s Beach is also a nice scene. Don’t miss the Mexican market in town! All in all, we had a great stay.

Great house in a very convenient location.

My group had a great time at the cabin over a long holiday weekend. The large kitchen and open dining area allowed for us to all comfortably socialize and relax. The covered deck was so enjoyable to have during the hot afternoons. The check-in/out process was seamless and we would definitely be interested in returning!

Paola was simply WONDERFUL to work with. His communication was impeccable!This cabin is situated in the woods, in a very peaceful and quiet location. The location is perfect, half way between Incline Village and Squaw/Alpine Meadows. The VRBO listing is represented 100% correctly. We WILL be back again.Because the house was cleaned and ready, Paola allowed us to check in early the day of our arrival date. I Emailed the request for an early check in, and since it was ready..He said no problem. Really a dynamite cabin. I cannot say enough good things about the property owner-Paola.... Very honest, genuinely nice, and immediately responds to questions.. Thank you very much Paola!Phil / Rancho Mirage, CA

We can't guarantee that you will wake up on Christmas morning to a foot+ of fresh powder but the main living area of this home is ample in size and warmth for a family gathering of 6-12 comfortably - maybe more if you are not in the home as much as we were! The kitchen was large enough for 2-4 cooks working together - we were there Dec 22- Jan 2 so we had many holiday meals and baking projects going! The kitchen is adequately equipped and when asked Paola, the owner, with whom I communicated sought to get a few extra things for our stay!That leads to other highlight of this home's experience - Paola. As I think about becoming an owner/renter, I can not imagine the time and patience Paola lent to our stay! I began with questions a month out from our stay and she consistently and promptly answered each one! Leading to the aforementioned supplies left on the counter with holiday tablecloth, dish towels and enough decor to keep it festive! The location would be another highlight of the home. We included some real estate tours in our stay and we were able to cover the better part of North Lake Tahoe from the Kings Beach location. The street and the home's driveway are served by snow removal services and we were able to move about easily in the snow!We would recommend and also like to thank Katie tahoe adventure company for finding a guide - also thank you Kelly - for a Christmas snowshoe hike (30 minutes from home near Boreal); and lake tahoe snowmobiling for a great Boxing Day tour with more awesome lake views (right down the road from the home). There is a loft area for some mat workout space - if all the outdoors is not enough but for the gym rats - guilty - we thank high altitude fitness for the great facilities and visitor membership options (15 min from home in Incline Village); for Pilates junkies - guilty - thank you Dusty the sanctuary for a great private - also great massages the sanctuary (15 min away near casinos/stateline)Paola has some great restaurant recommendations in her visitor book. As noted, we ate at the home often but we loved The Grid for some of our (football) bowl watching - some of the best bar food we have had! And the friendliest bartender we met! Overall our family's first white Christmas could not have been better! It was a few of our first time to Tahoe and it will not be our last! If I do become an owner/renter, I hope I take some lessons from Paola in the area of customer service! Enjoy!

Early summer is a perfect time to enjoy Tahoe and the House is located in a great spot to be able to enjoy the lake and/or the mountains.

We had several family members come in from out of state and wanted a large vacation home to accommodate 11 adults and 1 child. There was plenty of sleeping room for all of us, and the kitchen living room was a perfect gathering place for meals. The instructions to open the home and take advantage of all the amenities, including the hot tub, were spot on. We only spent 4 nights and everyone was sad to leave. We would have rated our stay 5 stars but the steep stairs to access all the levels was a little difficult for our older guests to manage. Other than that, the property had everything we needed to make our Tahoe vacation perfect. Thank you Paola Dozzo for making our first VRBO rental stress free!!

My group of 6 friends rented this house in August for a 3 day weekend getaway. Our requirements for the rental were: fully equipped kitchen, patio and bbq grill, hot tub, and close proximity to the north shore, so this was the perfect vacation rental for our needs. We liked the layout of the bedrooms, and they were all spacious and comfortable. We especially loved the open space between the living room, dining room, kitchen and patio. It was great for entertaining and spending time together in these common areas. We made all of our meals in the house, utilizing the bbq grill both nights. The patio was great for hanging out after dinner and enjoying the peaceful quietness of the lake. The house was a short drive (<10min) from grocery stores and the local beach so it was very convenient to get to. The owner was very easy to communicate with and the rental process was straightforward, so we would love to rent this house again in the wintertime, as it is very close to Northstar.

The home we stayed was great! The house is spacious and comfortable, we loved the light in the living room and the spectacular view from the deck. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable, and having 3 bathrooms was a plus for 8 people. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed to cook each night. We also found they had lots of spices, probably left over from previous renters ;). Every night we came home from a full day of awesome skiing, we would have the hot tub ready for us in the beautiful context of the nature of Tahoe. If we had any questions or concerns Paola (the owner) was always very helpful and cheerful, great girl! I definitely would love to return to this house for our next visit to Tahoe!

My wife and I have stayed here twice in the last few years and can't say enough good things about the space and the house's owners. The open common space with large, well-equipped kitchen; adjacent ample dining room; and big, super-comfy living room are perfect for getting friends and family together for shared cooking, group meals, and lots of fun and laughter. The light from the large windows is just wonderful, and we love the number of private sleeping spaces that offer a cozy sanctuary for quiet reading or rest. Hot tub. Large west-facing deck. Minutes to Northstar and King's Beach amenities. Everything you want from a summer or winter rental.

My boyfriend and I had a great time at this lovely home. Perfect place for some rest and relaxation. Great views. Great location. We will back in the winter!
