Tahoma Cabin; Walk to Lake Tahoe, 2 Mi to Homewood

Reviews

• Great location, cozy home!

  4/5

  We really enjoyed our time in Homewood. The house was clean and cozy. Very comfortable beds! We used the hot tub daily. Some things were tricky to figure out i.e., fireplace, furnace, locking of slider but overall it was a comfortable stay.

• Nice kitchen, nasty carpets

  3/5

  The kitchen and master bath look great, until you turn the water on; it blasts, wasting tons of water, cutting like a knife in the shower, and splashing all over. The wood floors were nice, but the carpet and all the throw rugs, including bath mats, were disgusting. Then we found out the house was going on the market the day after we left, which explains the lack of cleaning before . I don't think a shampoo job will cut it; the carpet needs to be replaced. We enjoyed our stay and were kept busy trying to figure out the trick to turning the gas fireplace on consistently.

• Cute house but dirty!!!

  4/5

  Property owner: They very communicative and provided detailed instructions on accessing the home, rental details, etc. They responded quickly and followed up when we contacted them thinking we left something behind. Location: This is a very family friendly neighborhood on the west shore of Lake Tahoe, where many of the best hikes and beaches are located. Grocery stores were only a 10 minute drive away. The one small inconvenience is that cellular service is basically non-existent in the neighborhood. We have Verizon Wireless and mostly had no cell service or 1 bar for reception while at the house. House: We were the first renters after a period of no visitors in Tahoe so the outside of the house was not tidy and full of brush and leaves on the walkways and back patio. We thought the house would have been cleaned just prior to our arrival but it was quite dusty and we walked into lots of cobwebs in the dining area, garage, and hallway. The kitchen floor was not recently swept and was sandy. I don't think it had been mopped in a while either, because our feet and socks were black after walking around without shoes. The listing advertised having a gas grill available but it was put away in the garage without a tank and unusable without the hose connecting the tank to the grill. The house itself has comfortable beds and sheets/linens/towels that are in great condition. The rugs in the kitchen and living room are very dirty, stained and worn down. The appliances were all in great working order. No detergent was available to use the washing machine so bring your own. Wireless internet is slow and unreliable. Other than a few minor issues, we would definitely stay here again and recommend this rental to other families. Just know ahead of time that you won't have cellular and reliable internet while in the home, no gas grill, and bring slippers and your own detergent.
