Great house for families
Publicado el 16 jul. 2021 en HomeAway
This home was used for a 3-night family vacation for six adults and four children, ages 2-9.
Check in process: Super easy. We all traveled to Tahoe from different locations, so we didn't know who would get to the house first. Luckily, the check-in process was so simple it didn't matter who showed up first! Kris was very responsive, even to the couple of texts I sent to him after we checked in to the house.
Location: In a very nice, tree-lined, quiet neighborhood that worked great for the four kids and their bicycles. It wasn't really walking or biking distance to the beach, but we were just a short drive away. No restaurants in walking distance, but they were also just a short drive away.
House: The house is definitely not a show piece, but it was very clean and comfortable. The fact that it wasn't in pristine condition made our stay quite comfortable and enjoyable with the four young kids. The layout was a bit strange, but perfect for us as there were three families staying at the house, and all three families had their own section of the home with their own bathroom. There was a very large, fenced yard that allowed the kids to run free and have a great time together.
Entertainment: Tons of stuff for the kids (and adults) to stay busy. Shuffleboard, pool table, foosball table, outside play structure (although it is in need of major repair and one area is quite dangerous - but parts of it are still usable and the kids had fun), There are three TV's, and one of them had streaming service. Not sure about the other two as we didn't turn them on very often, but they're available if needed. There was a horseshoe pit, volleyball net (but we didn't find a volleyball), and two adult bikes available in the garage. There is also a tandem bicycle, but the chain didn't work when we tried it. It would be great fun if it was in working condition. There is a 1-2 person sauna in what looks to be the "master" bedroom. The big hit was the hot tub which was used multiple times during the day. There is a gas barbecue which we used one night for "steak night." It worked great and seemed to be in good condition. There is also a briquet barbecue available, but we didn't use it.
Bottom line: Highly recommend for a combined family vacation. Lots of things to stay busy even if you don't leave the house, but just a short drive to everything else in South Lake Tahoe.
