Wonderful stay!

We had such a wonderful stay at Schaffer's. The team at Tahoe Sig Properties went above and beyond to help, communicate and fix anything that came up. There were a few minor house things like a tub issue but were dealt with easily. We couldn't have had a better time and hope to do it again next summer. Thanks again!

Great property for a ski trip

This is a well-appointed property that is conveniently located to Truckee and Northstar and easy to get to. The house was very spacious and well-stocked with all the kitchen items. We didn't have a chance to take advantage of outside amenities like golf course, spa, tennis courts, pool, etc. but imagine these enhance the stay experience even more so during the summer. Property management team was incredibly responsive. Two considerations for enhancement: the checkout time of 10am is very early based on even hotel standards; the house could be more stocked with games and family play equipment based on my experience of staying at other similar properties of this caliber.

We had a wonderful long weekend. The condo was lovely clean and conveniently located near Northstar. Others reviews remarked lack of wine glasses. Happy to say there are plenty of nice wine glasses to use. The downstairs shower was not working and we received a very generous refund which speaks to great customer service! We will definitely be back!

We thoroughly enjoyed the unit! Very cozy and comfortable and pretty views from the upper deck. We stayed in mid February for a week with our adult kids to celebrate a late Christmas. The house fit us perfectly for 6 adults. We had some issues but they were rectified by Tahoe Signature Properties. Of note, the kitchen knives are dangerously dull and they really need to replace the skillet pans with non stick. We spent too much time trying to clean them! We will definitely book this unit again.

Our stay at Schaffer's Mill was wonderful and relaxing. It was unfortunate the air quality due to the smoke kept us inside more than we expected. We spent a lot of time on the deck, however, we will keep in mind next time we rent, the height of the railing. We were unable to adequately see over and enjoy the golf course! It was quite frustrating and unenjoyable. The townhouse was well equipped with most everything we needed. We look forward to being at Schaffer's Mill again next year --or earlier!

The condo was perfect! We stayed here for 7 nights and enjoyed every minute of it. The place is nicely furnished, very clean and has all the amenities you can ask for. The location is quiet and provides easy access to North Tahoe and the surrounding mountains. Wish we could have stayed longer, but we’ll definitely stay here again during our next visit.

Nice home in great community. Very clean and quiet. The amenity charges are very high given the COVID related limitations. The rental agency was very accommodating. The prior review about wine glasses should be considered. What the owner regards to be stemless wine glasses are juice glasses. Luxury accommodation warrants real wine glasses.
