"This is a clean, cozy, convenient place for a visit to Tahoe City. The kitchen is well equiped and the beds are comfy. Just a short walk into town for shops and a variety of good restaurants. A great stay!"

Lake Forest Luxe - Spacious Lakefront Tahoe Retreat, Private Hot Tub, Media Room, EV Charger

10/10 Excellent

"Rarely do I write a review for anything, but this one is worth it!We've all stayed at the house rental labeled as "Luxe", but this one really delivers. This home is basically brand new, packed with all of the amenities of a true luxury home. Smart home features, built in speakers, automated blinds, luxury bedding and linens, and a beautiful new hot tub.What really sets this home apart is the amazing location. Set far off the highway down a long private road, you really feel like you are escaping. A forest of pine trees greets you as you arrive, and the massive windows on all sides of the house really make it feel like you are sitting in nature. A semi-private beach awaits just a few steps down the backyard, and waterfront views are seen throughout the house. Tahoe City is an easy 5 min drive into town.The floor plan is fantastic for families, with three bedrooms spaced far apart, and the kids bunk room (6 beds) is far down the hallway by the garage. Also the separate media / entertainment room was packed with toys and kids couches which kept our two kids happy.I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again!"

"Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We really loved our stay at this house. It is very comfortable and the location is amazing - very quiet but still so convenient to restaurants, shops and outdoor activities, especially being able to walk to Lake Tahoe!!!!The backyard is fantastic for relaxing at the end of the day.The upstairs is a great opportunity for friends and guests. The stairs are a little steep (although still well managed by my 80 year old, relatively active parents) and note that the bathrooms are downstairs. Overall. loved our stay. Would definitely recommend it!"
