The space itself is thoughtfully designed with lovely decor, very comfortable beds, and a well-stocked kitchen that made it easy to settle in and feel at home. What truly set this experience apart, though, were the hosts. During our stay, I had an unexpected emergency surgery, and they went above and beyond - graciously extending our stay while I was in the hospital and showing such genuine care and flexibility during a stressful time. We are incredibly grateful for their kindness and hospitality. I can't recommend this property highly enough and would absolutely stay here again!

The host is very responsive if anything is needed although we had no issues I had a few questions about a few things and they responded within 10 minutes and after questions were answered they followed up to make sure we were OK... I highly recommend this place it sleeps six extremely comfortably. Lots of patios to sit on and enjoy the views and the fresh air. And an empty garage to store paddle boards and kayaks if needed. I feel the value was good. Looked at a few other homes before we booked this and the price seem to be in line with everything else. If not a little less expensive .

I was worried about my new home getting traction, but it immediately started flowing in new bookings thanks to VRA's trusted Airbnb's SuperHost status. The team quickly arranged a professional photo shoot, recommended improvements, and really takes care of every detail. They set up the house absolutely beautifully! I can trust them to vet the guest, enforce local ordinances/ occupancy, monitor cameras, noise sensors and everything in between. Thank you VRA!

Messaged management and expected a response before I left. To my surprise, my message was responded to within the hour. The lodge was really easy to work with on the issue and were incredibly responsive. While most anticipate never having an issue at a hotel, I REALLY appreciate how fast my issue was dealt with and handled. Everything about our stay was as expected. The kitchenette was stocked with necessities, the bathroom was easily accessed and had all the amenities one would need. The bed was comfortable, all the appliances worked and overall, the stay was very comfortable. This lodge is easily accessible and is close to SO many things in South Lake Tahoe. Would highly recommend as the base point for anyone who hasn't been in the area. It was affordable, I felt safe, and my entire experience here was really pleasant. Will be back in the future.

Brandon will not answer the phone once he has your money. The property we stayed at is in disrepair…read moreand its continuing problems have not been addressed in 4 years. This year, a sewer line in the lake broke meaning no running water. After several calls, Brandon had no alternative place for our family to stay. We ended up in a hotel with bags and boxes all around us. We paid for that experience on top of the house rental. He only returned our money for the house after several more phone calls and several more days. The agreed upon morning we left Tahoe and returned to the house to pick up the last of our belongings in the garage, he had his cleaning lady there on the phone to him telling us we had to leave. We told her she could start cleaning and that we would be out of there ASAP. But Brandon called my husband to tell him to hurry and get out. We were easily going to be out before the 11:00 deadline. Why be so unkind if the house had no running water and was unable to be used? RUN, do not walk away from Brandon. He is disreputable. As an update: Brandon messaged my husband to call me a liar about this review. (There were 5 adults on our trip who experienced this.) His unprofessionalism in texting us after what we went through because his feelings were hurt by reading an honest review, just makes my point even stronger. Second update: 8 days after getting home, Brandon is still calling me a liar. Please do read other recent reviews. One on Birdeye just 3 months ago, describes Brandon's response to renters in a situation they had no control of and his follow up contact after reading their reviews which was described as "aggressive and disrespectful." Brandon gets very few details right of this bigger picture he creates below 1. We were not met at the front door when we returned from our day around the lake. There was a team of Douglas county workers out back. They DID NOT say that the damage was solely due to lake levels and DID NOT say that it hadn't been repaired because of lake levels. They were concerned with fixing the line at all (although other properties were able to be fixed that DO NOT share this same wall) because the sea wall at this property was not built properly nor being repaired in the proper way, According to the professionals, the cost of doing it correctly was a point of contention. Douglas county couldn't cough up the ten grand and the owner wasn't either. The line would continue to break each time the waves got rough. One worker commented, "I can't believe they rented this place out." 2. We did not store ALL of our belongings in the garage. We spent 2 days cleaning out the house of 2/3 of our belongings which we crammed into 2 hotel rooms for 5 people. Only the things we couldn't fit stayed in the garage because we couldn't afford another room and Brandon was not interested in covering any of the costs of our move. As no one could use the property, this wasn't an inconvenience to anyone While my husband and I moved belongings and threw away the food and meals we had bought and prepared, my son used the wi-fi to take his online college course. The hotel only had an unsecure connection. We only left some supplements and medicine in the fridge until our departure day. We did not use the fridge other than storage. We had wanted to use the Marla Bay beach to at least be able to swim in the lake, but the codes were changed. My husband *had* asked to sit on the back porch, but everything was a negotiation (nothing was done with kindness) and the house was just a reminder of how awful the trip had turned out. We didn't do that either. 3. We DID NOT stay there for 5 uninterrupted nights before the line broke. It was 4 (details should be accurate) and included , as it has every year, cleaning bathrooms, dishes, utensils, and glasses. To think that including the cleaning deposit in the refund we waited 8 days for was some act of benevolence is laughable. 4. He did print my husband a check. I guess he can celebrate that truth. It was the day before we left and he had tried to postpone the meeting twice because he's busy. He threw an unfeeling "sorry" over his shoulder as my husband left. We cashed the check that day because of our experience. We have never been treated with the indifference that Brandon showed us. We have been staying in Tahoe for 20 years. Sixteen of those years were with other agencies. We know Tahoe is wonderful. We know what other agencies are capable of just as we now see what Brandon is capable of. I'm sure he'll send my husband another text. If Brandon had spent the time and energy to take care of his renters that he has spent responding to bad reviews, he may not get bad reviews. BTW. The helpful score below is from my friends who know me to tell the truth.

I gad a nice time in South Lake Tahoe, staying at the Marriott's Timber Lodge Resort. I appreciate…read morethe cleanliness of the resort and the rooms. We stayed in a three-bedroom so my son and daughter's family could have their own space and bathrooms while sharing a living room and a kitchen. We were able to cook breakfast while the kids slept in and heat our leftovers from dining out, with the stove, dishwasher and full size refrigerator. We also took advantage of washing the kids swimwear in the washer and dryer in our room so they could rewear for the next day. I stayed in the 3rd bedroom with an adjoining door and had my own sink, microwave and small refrigerator when I wanted to sit on the loveseat and watch a different TV show in my room. There were 8 of us. The pool is so much fun for the kids. There's also a splash pad, and plenty of room with lounge chairs. There's two or three barbecue areas with tables with several barbecues to use. There's two best part is not having to clean it, because staff are there to keep it clean. Activities are provided for guests in the lobby or at the pool. There's a game room with several video games and we took advantage of the fitness rooms. I enjoyed the crafts we made and cookie decorating in the activity room. There is only one restaurant, Fire + Ice, on the property, but there are so many restaurants and stores right outside the gate from the pool and the lobby. The Gondala is right next to the hotel as well. So convenient to in the evening when there may be music and activities going on. We enjoy making s'mores, which the sell for $5, in the evening by the fire pit.

Location in heavenly village is perfect for any season, as the gondola for skiiing is right outside the lobby, there are hikes in walking distance, and a short walk or drive to the lake. My biggest pain point Valet parking can take forever and is a pain and that it is the only Option. They only have one restaurant on site (fire and ice), which I didn't try. Check in time is 4pm, but unfortunately our room still wasn't ready until after 4:30pm. We stayed in a party of three two bedroom villas and they were all spread out. The pool area is nice and has a number of grill areas. There is also a kids craft and game room. No daily housekeeping though.

We rotate ski resorts, and always rent a large house. We like to cook and hang out after a long ski day. This year, we rented this house. I'll start with the positives: It is conveniently located- less than a 5 minute drive to the ski resort (you could walk but there's a pretty good hill to get there and it would be tough in the snow). The house is humongous- you can hang out together or find space to do your own thing. It has a great theater room, ping pong and games downstairs. The indoor pool is great, hot was clean (though small for this size house), the outdoor patio with fireplace is wonderful. The sauna and steam shower are unexpected bonuses! All of these things are great, but the main things you need in a house this big are the things that need attention. The bedrooms are small- the beds aren't bad- mattresses are comfortable though the blankets need replaced. There are quilts and then 'couch throws'. The biggest complaints about the bedrooms were the lack of any type of dresser or place to put clothes- we all just lived out of suitcases bc you couldn't unpack them. Also, just be aware that the bedrooms all have shared bathrooms (in case this is an issue for your group). Finally, the bedrooms in the basement were extremely hot and we could find no temperature control for the 3 rooms so we had to open windows. Our biggest complaint is the kitchen. It is really bad. I've attached pictures of the pots and pans- they needed to be thrown out quite some time ago. There are only a few pans and bakeware (2 baking pans to be exact) and what's there is practically unusable. The baking dishes were cracked down the centers. There are plenty of steak knives though they desperately need sharpened. The toaster only works on one side and barely at that. The dishwasher- well.... the front door is broken- sharply broken around the handle so you have to be very careful opening it, and the racks are missing inside so you cannot stand the plates or anything on the bottom rack- it is usable for only large bowls or pans. The bar stools have leather seats which are all split and torn. The floor is buckling around the kitchen cabinets. The stove was really nice, and the double oven was great too. However, there were no kitchen hot pads or oven mitts, very few kitchen serving spoons or spatulas, etc. There were 2 coffee pots, which was nice but they are older and do not have auto shutoff functions. The kitchen is the most important part of the home when you have a large group- they generally prefer to cook rather than find dinner reservations for 14 people. This kitchen was really a disappointment. There were other things that just really decreased our impression of this home. The parking and driveway are challenging at best. And while there are 2 lovely washing machines and dryers, the doors open in the wrong direction (an easy fix), and the dryers are stacked and are way too high! We had to get stools to reach the controls (men and women- not just short people). The control box for all of the coax cables (cable tv, internet, etc) are hanging out of the wall (see pictures). Considering the money paid for this home for 1 week, I would expect much much more. In summary, this house is a wonderful property that is in great need of TLC, with the kitchen being the biggest problem- a couple of thousand dollars at Target to replenish the kitchen would make a world of difference.

Just my 2 cents! Back at Tim G. Folks dont drink the cool aid this guy is peddling. Definitely get the insurance if you book here because they definitely WONT work with you even if its an ACT OF GOD situation. This guy is trying to make it seem like it was just a simple snow day weekend. The fact is ALL hwy 80 was closed, hwy 50 closed the majority of the time.

It is also priced higher due to location to the Heavenly gondola, but other than location convenience there are better condo deals in the area with more upgraded features for around the same price.
