Great Space from the 1980s

Review Date: January 12, 2026

Vacation Date: January 5, 2026

"We stayed here with our family for a ski vacation. Loved the layout of the cabin and the location. It is dated, but clean and one bed was broke in the master suite the we had to put a piece of wood under to hold up. The views are great, we really liked the place, but it could use some updating. The sauna was really great. We would stay here again, but keep in mind it is rustic and has some 1980s charm.

"The house is in a convenient location just 7-10 minutes from the business district. It's a good size, and has a nice view of the water from the living spaces. The kitchen had everything we needed as far as cooking and dining. For the cost, it's a good deal and I would stay again. My only suggestion is to bring your own pillows. I like to have a minimum of two, and those provided weren't in good shape.

"The house fit our needs and was close enough to Squaw Valley for the race. House and furnishings much older than expected and the animal heads on the walls were disturbing, you should consider taking them down and maybe upgrading the carpet and the TV by fireplace. Also check carpet around showers, looks like there could be mold around the edges under. Loved access to fireplace & firewood - awesome. Consider relocating grill to the deck.

Dirty and dusty

Vacation Date: January 4, 2023

"This vacation rents was in a great location, but needs serious help. As some other reviews mention there is carpet everywhere even around the toilets. The carpet seems original because you can feel the grease radiating from the floor. There was popcorn and garbage all over the couch and living room floor when we arrived. I brought my 6 month old with us and I couldn’t even set her down anywhere the entire stay because the entire cabin was dirty. Dishes in the drawers and cabinets were put away dirty, there were no hand towels in the entire cabin. Wo youd wash your hands and have no where to dry them. Old food in the fridge and cabinets.

Better advertised as very dated , not so rustic

Review Date: October 19, 2022

Vacation Date: September 29, 2022

"While the house itself is certainly rustic , it borders on way too outdated , thought I was in the Brady bunch house . There were no kitchen towels , we had to buy toilet paper too . I think the most important facts are old family photos and dead animal heads should probably go , as well as giant , dust fake flower baskets . The cupboards had some oil spill that got on everything we put up there . I’m sorry this is such a negative review , some of the good points were a beautiful peek at the lake and we really enjoyed the fireplace . I think with a thorough cleaning and removing personal 80’s photos it would greatly improve !

Perfect Summer Getaway

Review Date: August 17, 2022

Vacation Date: July 21, 2022

"Super cozy house! As detailed in other reviews, don't expect a modern interior with cutting edge amenities. In fact, there's an intercom system in every room that is definitely antique from the 60s or 70s - and it still works!

Deck was an incredible place to lounge in the evenings and stargaze. Love the quiet neighborhood (we could hear the occasional partying at other places) and the proximity to the lake. Not really a recommended walk though. Getting there isn't bad, it's downhill. It's the walk back that might take a while. There's a nearby bakery that is wonderful and the ride to Tahoe City is super easy. There's even a 7-11 around the corner for stuff like contact lens solution (my sister forgot hers).

One thing I should mention though is that we had my 87 year old Mom with us and the stairs were a challenge. I don't recommend the house for anyone that might have physical challenges.

Also, one evening we watched a bear walk up to the bear box and open it up. It was shut and closed, I don't know how the bear did it. Luckily, we didn't have any garbage in there, but it happened.

Overall, I would definitely go back. It was a comfy place and I had a great time there with my family.

Parkin House 8/11-8/18

Vacation Date: August 11, 2019

"We have been renting this property for more than 20 years so we know and love the "rustic"ness. It is always a little unclear what it comes with but we always end up buying TP, soap, dishwashing soap and other essentials. Dollar Point Home Owners Association added a very annoying feature this year with their amenities "wristbands" which daily you have to go get and wear in order to use the pool, lake tennis courts, etc. Really?, a high end resort where you have to where a fluorescent green wristband all day? Hope they come up with a better system next year. We didn't have to pay for these because we made our reservations before the policy was instituted, however, next year if they keep the same system ($10/person/day) this will add for our family and additional $300-400 to the rental which may cause us to try a different development. All in all we had a great time as always.

Disappointing...

"Tahoe is beautiful and this home has a nice deck with a partial view of the lake -- which we enjoyed. Good location and kitchen stocked with necessary utensils. However, house is not updated. Living room has old, stained chair & curtains labeled with PostIt stating they don't work. Bathrooms have old carpeting, toilet paper in tissue box rather than facial tissues, no bath mat, only enough hot water for two showers. Some might find the huge mounted animal heads off-putting. Not great for those seeking a nice, clean, updated, well-maintained place to stay.

The house is pictured and described exactly as it is, there is no inference that is has any updates. It is an old house with lots of space and a lake view and is priced to reflect this. It is a rustic Tahoe cabin. It is clean and comfortable.
