Family Fun @ Zen Mountain Retreat

This home is well equipped and very comfortable. Great accommodations for gathering friends and family. Everyone gets a nice room. While we don't have young kids, this home is well suited for them. The living space has ample, comfortable, seating and the kitchen is exceptionally well appointed for a rental property! Neighborhood is great; walkable with beautiful views, close to town, restraunts and grocery. Pool table and hot tub were nice amenities. Property management was responsive, which was a huge plus for us during our snow filled adventure! Highly recommend.

Wonderful Family Home!

This house had everything our three families needed for a comfortable and wonderful Thanksgiving week in Tahoe! The kitchen is fully stocked, and the living room/dining area is nice and open, allowing lots of people to comfortably lounge between the rooms. I would absolutely stay there again, and I highly recommend it to others.

It’s a beautiful place, in a great community The cabin is equipped with everything you need and more. The only negative is no Air conditioning, which I knew about. But we hit it at a very hot time and there was no breeze at all. Not the owners fault, but it did make it pretty uncomfortable at night. The fans helped and they have a lot of fans, so that was nice. Otherwise the place is amazing! I’d rent it again and let others know about it. Thanks for letting us enjoy you beautiful cabin.

Pleasant stay

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was a little bit of a rough start. Things were not cleaned, floors, beds looked like they had been slept in and made by the previous renter. The Bbq didn’t work, there was dog poop in the back yard which need some care as there are spider webs everywhere. And we could not figure out the fireplace even following instructions. The office was quick to help with some of these things. As far as the house. Great location, quiet and comfortable. Great to have the extras as we used the hot tub everyday and there were things to play with. Definitely would stay again. Tahoe rental just needs to do a sweep making sure everything is ready to go for guests.
