Good: clean, nice neighborhood, and near shops and restaurants. Property management is responsive via email. So so: beds and furnishings are on the older side. Mattresses need replacing. Picnic table shown in patio photo is not there. Bad: 1/2 roll toilet paper, no toiletries, and no laundry/dishwasher detergent. Dish soap was watered down. Should state BYO in ad. Property management team states will cancel your reservation if you do not provide ID & respond to their survey within a week of reserving. Should also be stated at time of reservation.

Adequate Tahoe rental

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house had the basics (heat works well) and was as described online- but was not terribly clean (we stumbled across dirty socks & trash left by previous renters) and the driveway had not been cleared after a previous snow, leaving it very icy & treacherous. I called the rental company to let them know that they are not getting their money's worth from their driveway-clearing & cleaning services, they asked for pictures which I sent....with a "thanks for the feedback" in return.

Would not stay here again

After staying at this cabin with my family of 5 I was very shocked that it received such great ratings. The location and sleeping arrangements were fantastic for our family. Unfortunately, the positive comments stop there. The cabin was filthy. Upon our arrival our seven year old found toys on the floor by the couch. Our 13 year old found multiple makeup items in the bedroom. The carpet and kitchen flooring was disgusting. The bedding looked like it had not been washed in years. I could go on about the cleanliness but you get the picture. Our family has stayed at many VRBO"s and has never experienced a place that is not stocked. We had 5 towels, 1 wash cloth, 1 kitchen towel, & 1/2 roll of paper towels left out for us. No spices, no salt or pepper to cook with. We had to purchase spices, paper towels, oil to cook with, among other items that are usually in a VRBO. Due to these issues we would definitely not recommend this place.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, communication
Coming home after what was supposed to be a snowy getaway was a relief. My first and last experience with Vrbo was filled with frustration. The issues started before our arrival. I filled out multiple forms, confirmed there would be no parties, and ensured the cabin would be ready by the promised 3 PM check-in. The day before, I requested contact details for assistance but received a delayed response minutes before check-in time. The number provided led to a hotline no one answered. After battling traffic, we arrived to find a cleaning crew that wasn’t aware of the booking. They began cleaning at 2:51 PM. We requested to enter due to the cold, and they allowed us to sit inside while they cleaned, finishing around 4 PM, an hour past the promised check-in time. I reached out to Vrbo for compensation, requesting a late check-out. Their responses were vague apologies without addressing the issue. Attempts to escalate the matter were unsuccessful—no follow-up calls, no compensation. The house itself was disappointing. The heating only worked on the first floor, leaving the upstairs freezing. The bathroom door upstairs couldn’t be opened from the inside. Vrbo’s customer service offered apologies but no solutions. The whole experience highlighted poor management and communication.

Carnelian Bay Cabin

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I hate to complain, but we arrived a little after check in time (3:00) & beds had not been changed, dirty towels in washer, crumbs on floor, dishes in dishwasher, etc. Obviously cabin not cleaned. Contacted host & he sent housekeepers. Three showed up & did not speak English. They brought clean towels & paper products & then were going to leave. Told them beds needed changing. They went upstairs & changed bunk beds & said all beds were done. After they left I went upstairs & lifted quilt on queen beds, sheets were all balled up at foot of bed under quilt. NOT changed. They only straightened quilt. I refuse to sleep in beds not changed from previous guests. Contacted host again & he sent another housekeeper. She did a better job, but after seeing first housekeepers cleaning(?) I never felt place was covid compliant. I went to Safeway & bought Lysol wipes & wiped down everything myself. Wasted first day. I told Host I feel we should receive a partial refund. He said he would review request once reservation completed. So far nothing. Otherwise, Cabin was spacious, neighborhood was quiet & Host was quick to respond. Would not recommend to friends.

We wish we could have stayed longer

All I can say is, We LOVED IT. We took our family here for a few nights and were completely blown away with our experience. This place was very family oriented, which we appreciated so much! ! The house was sparkling and decorated beautifully. AND THE BEDS!! They were like sleeping on a cloud. The location of the home was perfect. We were not ready to leave and will definitely be staying here again soon.

Outstanding management , Great place, Recommended.

Our group enjoyed staying at Jason's house for our 4 days in spring. The house is spacious, clean and very comfortable. We have young kids and it was good for them too - . It’s in a quiet neighborhood. Jason is a wonderful host, responded immediately and made sure everything was OK. We’d love to stay there again when visiting our friends.

An absolutely lovely place!

There are several reasons while we especially liked this property. First, the location is great. It's a very quiet neighborhood, wide streets, almost no traffic. Yet, it's close to almost anywhere you need to go. The beach is only about a 7-minute walk, and it's a beautiful area for walking or biking. The house itself is comfortable and well equipped with cooking/eating utensils, bedding, towels, and furniture. We found the beds to comfortable and we all slept well. A big plus for us was the supply of games on the shelves in the living room.

Loved this place, can't wait to come back

Our host was extremely responsive to some questions I had and his place was great. Tons of room, loved the deck out back with a barbeque(including coals and lighter fluid!). Definitely an excellent value and highly recommended if you are looking for a place that is more tranquil than South Shore. If you are looking to try paddle boarding, I definitely recommend Watermans Landing(Also great Pannini sandwiches!) which was a 2 minute bike ride down the hill. This is another great perk of this Cabin, it's really close to the lake.

We really enjoyed our stay!

We really enjoyed our stay despite rainy weather. There were lots of board games and when the rain let up there were trails at the end of the road to hike on. The kitchen had everything we needed and the gas freestanding fire place warmed the whole house making it cozy. Great place for a family with children! Beautiful surroundings and an 80's throwback feel to everything in the cabin down to the VHS tapes :). We'll be back! The host was easy with communication and entry instructions! PS. To a previous reviewer of this place, turn the water heater on when you get there like the instructions on the refrigerator say and you'll have plenty of hot water ;).

Great rustic cabin - we love tahoe!

Couple of issues at check-in, but we had an okay stay. The cabin would be great for a large college party as it offers a lot of beds but it is not comfortable for a family with kids under ten. Linens on the bunk beds were a little on the older side, but added to the charm of the place. On the bright side, WiFi worked well on multiple devices at the same time and we had a great time adventuring around Tahoe

Beautiful place and location

Great large house with four separate bedrooms, a living room, kitchen, and a family room. It was also a great location. It was nice to have all the amenities of home (kitchen, washer, dryer). The house was clean and comfortable. I would definitely stay there again.
