The location is perfect for a winter getaway nestled by the end of a cul de sac, and fairly easy to get to since all the streets are plowed regularly. The home itself had an excellent setup for kids who can share bunk beds, and sizable rooms with large beds for those who worry about equitable space among larger groups. The open concept works very well when cooking in the kitchen and wanting to be part of the conversation in the living room. And despite the numerous stairs that might keep some folks concerned, we spent most of our time on the top floor anyways so it was of no concern in the end. Lastly, I personally love the outdoors, so when trying to find places to rent with enough yard space for the kids to safely play became difficult to pin down this beat out all the rest hands-down since it backs up to national forest with a short hike up the hill to see all of Lake Tahoe in an unobstructed view. It’s so beautiful! Looking forward to renting this place again!
