We had a wonderful stay! I'm sure this property is equally beautiful in the spring and summer - it sits on a large lot with a huge fenced area. Great hot tub, comfortable beds, gorgeous private setting with a beautiful peekaboo view through the trees. Close to Tahoe City and easy to get to and from. Great stay.

Excellent home as accommodations were excellent for our family of 6 plus baby. Enjoyed the wonderful spa and large yard for games. The area was beautiful and the golf was perfect at the local golf club. Perfect home for a relaxing time with family. Thank you!

Ember Ridge Retreat
My spouse and I enjoyed this property immensely due to its size and semi-secluded location yet easy access to the main road. We would give it five stars, but for the fact the primary double mattress is one of those pillow tops that are very uncomfortable for those accustomed to a king firm. The staff is amazing! When we reported that the microwave was not fully functioning one of them picked up and delivered a new one. That is top notch customer service. We will be engaging Tahoe Getaways for our next visit.
