Please remember that living in the mountains and staying in a private home means that there are some things we cannot control. For example, weather and harsh conditions have knocked out Wifi and the power before.

While we will try to accommodate all requests, we handle refunds for situations like this (power outages, appliances breaking, etc.) on a case by case basis.

Wonderful place right on Lake Tahoe

Hi - Beautiful place right on the lake - amazing sunrise and sunsets! Very well stocked for a rental - we did not lack for anything (which I find to be unusual in rentals). Very well located too. I think it's best suited for a family of four or five rather than 6-8 people. Highly recommend and hope to stay there again soon.

The Lakefront condo was wonderful. Being right on the water was awesome. The view was amazing. The deck is great. The grounds are beautiful and the walk down to the pier was great. The house is clean and comfortable and well stocked. We did not need anything. Beds comfortable. Your neighbor Karen was an angel who let my daughter and I use their kayaks. They also shared a video of a bear club who walked along the beach. Great location! Tahoe City has several great restaurants. Would definitely rent again. Very special place. Thank you for sharing your home!!

Gorgeous view

Gorgeous view, cozy place. Loved seeing the mountains and lake from the living room and kitchen. I would recommend a new toaster, as it has difficulty heating. The top bunk should be for a small kid, as I had 3 tall teenage boys and that was hard on one of them, although we didn't see the trundle bed until the last morning.

Delightful Stay

We had a delightful stay at this property. It's well-maintained and you're literally just steps away from the water. It's location on the lake allows you to see both the sunrise and sunset, so it's a really gorgeous view. We also enjoyed playing pickleball on the community's courts. Kitchen was well-equipped, stove and oven easy to use and efficient. Large fridge. Comfy couch and TV had a lot of options (not that we watched much being able to enjoy the beautiful lake view and starry sky.) My only suggestion would be for the cleaning crew to check to make sure that the bath towels aren't musty as ours were unfortunately. If we're being charged a cleaning fee and also being asked to start a load of washing before checking out, it'd be good to make sure the linens are good to go for the next group.

And, of course, the view was spectacular. The cover on the reserved parking spot was too low to accommodate our SUV with carrier, but we were able to find parking in the common parking lot.

Great location. Great amenities. Will visit again.

Overall a fantastic property with great conveniences inside and outside the home. We used the fridge, the TV, the outdoor furniture. We also used the Tennis court and the swimming pool. The downtown is walkable and there are many walkable trails. The lock is a bit quirky and it required us to contact the manager. The house is spacious but a bit small for 3 couples and 2 kids. This is a perfect place for one large family or two small families.

Spring Skiing and Sunshine

Our group of 5 had a fantastic time time at the Sanctuary. The view is breathtaking!! The home is very well equipped with anything one would need for meals cooked at home. We took out all the chairs for the balcony and enjoyed cocktails in the sun! Skiing is 10 min away for a last day on the slopes before summer. We loved staying at the sanctuary and will be back.
