5-Star Luxury Tahoe Cabin! Great Location! Pool Table!Darts! Poker! Ping Pong! Games!

We had our annual high school buddy reunion and we always need a game room, especially ping pong and this house had that and more. We’d stay here again since it’s in a central location and the accommodations were fantastic!

6 of us stayed for a 4-night winter weekend. The cabin was in a great location and not too far from town. It was spacious, clean and quite equipped with fun games. The host, Mike, was very communicative and accommodating. Tahoe had record snowfall a couple weeks before our stay and the highly anticipated patios and grills were completely covered and piled high (approximately 3-4ft) with icy snow. We weren't able to use these amenities the first night, but after talking with Mike, he explained the challenges he's had with the snow removal company. And, despite Mike not being local, he was able to find someone, in a timely manner, to clear off the massive amounts of snow on one of the patios so we could access the grills the next evening and enjoy the patio space. A few things we wish would have gone smoother: 1) We wanted to buy some nice cuts of steak and sear them well on one of the 3 bbqs or the kitchen stove top. Unfortunately, the grills weren't suitable for this purpose as the heat was unevenly distributed. They were better suited for something quick and easy, like burgers or dogs. The professional grade grill wouldn't stay lit long enough to heat up, despite the propane being filled. The two Char-Broil grills would only partially ignite due to clogged burners and had rust and food on the grates. 2) The kitchen was lovely and open, and had what we needed for some easy home-cooked meals. The stove top burners, however, did not put out a ton of heat to get the sear we were looking for on the steaks, so we decided to eat out instead of grill. 3) The downstairs shower drain did not drain well. 4) We didn't have hot water for showers the second night. There wasn't really an explanation and nothing seemed wrong with the water heater. We weren't able to get the jacuzzi tub in the main bathroom a quarter-filled with hot water before the water turned to ice cold. Aside from those hiccups, we had a great time and were able to spread out yet still felt together in the open layout. The games (specifically the pool table, darts and poker table) were a huge reason why we picked this rental and there was always something to do when we were in the cabin. We really appreciated Mike's communication and generosity. He granted us an early check-in that we would have taken if we flew in earlier, and we were thankful for the later check-out. We'd definitely stay here again.
