Great house for ski weekend

We had two families stay at this house. It was very clean, spacious, and comfortable. Management was very responsive and check in process was simple. Would definitely recommend and would stay again.

Very dusty on blinds and the smell of smoke or water damage

Enjoyed the views and slept like a rock however the stench was overwhelming even after the windows were opened. Not all homes get rented regularly (im guessing this is why) and i guess thats a blessing to have many choices however the smell of dead rodents or water damage was unfortunate.

Lovely stay

We had a great stay at this very clean and well-appointed property. We had to extend our stay by one day and that process was very smooth.

Wonderful Stay!

This was one of the nicest stays that we've had at a vacation rental.The place was great! I wish we had stayed longer. The beds were very comfortable and everything was very organized, and most importantly - extremely clean. Amazing location too.

Loved it 💕

This home is amazing, we loved the open concept, spending time in the kitchen cooking, enjoying drinks, and just having a good time. The bedroom on the first floor was great for my parents as there is a full bathroom right across, we and the kids were upstairs where everyone had their own bathroom. Easy access to everything and we can't wait to visit in the summer to stay on the deck, it's huge. Thank you Tahoe Signature Properties for a great stay!
