Great getaway home

Wonderful home. Well-equipped for everything we needed (even down to the mini cuisinart and hand blender)! The hot tub was wonderful and layout was perfect for puzzles and games with friends and family. Bunk room was a total hit with the teens.

Wonderful Space for Family Time

John & Diana's space was ideal for our family gathering: my partner & I, our 3 kids; my sister and brother-in law, their 2 kids. Enough room for all of us to have some personal space, and ample cozy common areas for group play and connecting.Bonus is the outdoor space in the back, where kids make-shifted their own sledding run.Thanks for providing such a wonderful space for our family holiday!!Wendy

Wonderful stay

We stayed here with another family and we all had a wonderful time. The house was spacious and clean, and had everything we needed. The garage was a nice addition and allowed us to park one car and all of our bikes safely. If we come back, we would rent the same house!

Cozy Mountain Getaway

LOVE LOVE LOVE this home. Amazing kitchen, open family room, beautiful back yard perfect for happy hour, large hot tub, and so many beds! The appliances are all top notch, great house for cooking and sharing quality time. They also have the game shelf of all game shelves. The internet is strong and their smart tv's and sound system is great. The Tahoma market is within walking distance and has a huge selection of groceries and a yummy deli. The family bunk room is huge and has its own bathroom. There are actually 3.5 baths in the house! Our family enjoyed our time at the home and would definitely return. The owner is so friendly and helpful, and even found and returned a pair of glasses that we forgot in the house.

Great house! Probably needs a new property manager

The house is incredible. Great location, lots of room, well taken care of and clean. I would definitely stay here again. The property management left a lot to be desired. I had to call them 5 times to talk to someone, and got out on a 20 minute hold when they forgot about me. The door obviously has a code, but they didn’t give it to us so we had to drive to Tahoe city to physically pick up and drop off the key. It’s the first time I have ever had to do that with a VRBO. They mentioned a garage door opener but didn’t give it to us. The garbage cans were completely full when we got there, so we couldn’t throw anything out and had to keep all the trash in the house during our stay. Overall the house is amazing and the property management was just an inconvenience but very easy to fix all of their problems.

Winter Wonderland Get Away

The house is top notch & the owners are great. Very comfortable w/many amenities. The property management company however could be better. 1 contact number they provided was for vacations in Hawaii, not Lake Tahoe. We were provided a code for the house at first that didn't work & no key or garage door opener. I was told they would submit a work order in for it & then never heard back. I tried to reach out to them during a power outage & never heard back.

Lovely Tahoe home base

We had a great stay at John's home! Great location and neighborhood, comfortable beds and couch, and everything we needed in the kitchen. Would have appreciated working fans to supplement the ceiling fans as the bedrooms got warm. Encourage the project management company to more proactively offer the door code instead of keys, that was perfect for us but we had to go to the office to discover that was an option.

Excellent property, challenge to sleep 10

As our family was a group of teens, kids and adults it was difficult to use the three bedroom layout for ten people. The teenagers ended up crashing on the couch and the bunk room had empty beds. However, the house was lovely, clean, furnished well, and an excellent location.

Great location!

Overall my family and I had a good time at this house the location and the house itself was great for families plenty of space and the way they set it up made it comfortable for everybody John was great at communicating the biggest issue we had is with the leasing office that they worked with the manager Esmeralda was very rude and poor communicating we asked for an early check in she said that that it was possible and to call around 1 o’clock she didn’t answer till 4 o’clock and let us know that our house would it be ready till maybe 430. They don’t let you know until a couple days before check in but you have to go pick up the keys at the leasing office in Tahoe city which was a complete nightmare at 4 o’clock the whole reason why we picked this house is that we could avoid that area they don’t allow early check-in‘s because the leasing office doesn’t want to and then when we finally got to the place it was not properly cleaned it was broken glass on the kitchen floor that one of our family members stepped on & cut their foot and glass in the dishes that someone just left and food all on the table chips crumbs hair on the towels… Kitchen ware was completely outdated . I spoke to the owner and they did give me half of my cleaning fee back which was nice but I feel like the full cleaning deposit should be given back . I love the location of the house but I wouldn’t want to deal with the leasing office again and having to pick up the keys when they have a lockbox for the house cleaners but they don’t trust the guest to check in themselves really weird ?and they have a neighbor that watches the house constantly if we left the garage door open for 20 minutes the owner would call and let us know to shut it bc of bears which was nice but they definitely have a extremely noisy neighbor so if you’re OK with people watching you at all times and dealing with a rude leading office And late check-in to a semi cleaned house this rental will work for you!

About the host

Hosted by John Lyons

Host profile image
The owners are Northern California natives and have been spending time in Tahoe all their lives. The house is operated by Wells & Bennett, a professional property management company located close to the house & with excellent attention to detail.

Why they chose this property

There's a saying, "The West Shore is the Best Shore". Tahoma is perfectly situated in the some of the least developed shoreline of Tahoe, yet is centrally located. In winter, the house is 5 minutes from Homewood, 20 minutes from Squaw/Alpine, and 45 minutes from Heavenly. You can ski the entire Tahoe area. In summer, there are vast expanses of state park and national forest land, accessible within a short walk from the front door. Hiking and mountain biking options are great, & there are trails not widely known or crowded. There are great beaches in the area - Chambers Landing, Meeks Bay & DL Bliss are close. Tahoe City is under 15 minutes drive. Stateline and the casinos are about 40 minutes away. The West Shore is known for it's "old Tahoe" vibe.

What makes this property unique

Cathedral ceilings and tall slate fireplace plus warm wood detailing just make you feel good from the minute you walk in! Skylights throughout allow you to enjoy sunlight during the day and the stars at night. The large lot allows for privacy in a natural Tahoe setting. It's our happy place and we want all our guests to enjoy it!
