The perfect location for a wedding at Jake's on the Lake, it is literally a short walk to the lake and restaurants. We really enjoyed the smallbalcony we sat and had coffee and a glass of wine. We cooked in the kitchen one night, which was well appointed. We loved all the personal touches, the welcome package and the comfy bedding and beds. This was a great value and was completely updated. We did not use the pool or other amenities however we did walk around them and they were very well maintained.

Perfect for families!

We are a family of 6 and this condo was perfect for our vacation. Pros: washer/dryer, spacious main bedroom (we were able to comfortably fit our pack and play), pool and hot tub, short walk down to the lake, parking is easy, hiking trails, full kitchen. Cons: no bbq, the downstairs toilet wouldn’t always flush. We would definitely return to this condo!

Good and Bad

The condo itself was good. The design, fireplace and accomodations were fine. Signage was horrible and we could not find it easily even in the daytime. While kitchen gear was okay, they lacked a teflon based skillet which meant that the mismatched stainless steel skillets were difficult to cook in and scrubbing them was a10 minute ordeal, They also provide the smallest possible bars of soap that lasted 3 minutes. Finally, with their poor signage, I parked in an unlined area and at 7:30 AM the property manager knocked on our door and scolded me about being parked in "an illegal spot" and that I had to move my car immediatetly. I complied, of course, but was thinking that if he spent some time putting up some signs, he might not have to be acting like the principal that early in the AM. Other folks shared in the unit's "thank you book" that there were trails but guess what, there were no signs!. Fortunately, the natural beauty of Lake Tahoe won the day and as long as we had comfortable beds and a nice fireplace, I could let go of the other factors

Good Location in North Tahoe!

We enjoyed our time here! Very close to Diamond Peak where our kids were skiing. The kitchen was well-equipped and clean. The gas fireplace was easy to turn on and off and added a feeling of warmth to the living room. The bathroom door handle fell off on Saturday night and the management company was able to send someone within 30 minutes to fix everything which was impressive and greatly appreciated. The only issue was the hot tub closed at 4pm meaning we couldn't enjoy it at the end of the day. Overall, nice spot!

We had a great experience here! Our family loves to cook and the kitchen was well-equipped. The fireplace was very cozy and we enjoyed the amenities of the in-unit laundry and dishwasher. One recommendation would be to offer more comfortable mattresses and bedding. Overall a great stay!
