Creekside at Alpine is a fantastic place to stay for a variety of reasons. The house itself is beautiful, clean, well equipped and extremely well located for skiers or those just looking for a quiet, relaxing location. There is no view to equal that out of the massive windows overlooking the creek or stream behind the house. It even made doing the dishes a pleasure. While we were a little worried about the loft (5th bedroom and bath), it worked out just fine. For skiers, Alpine Meadows, Squaw Valley, Homewood, and Northstar are all within 25 minutes or less (Alpine is only about 3 minutes away). For shopping, Truckee and Tahoe City are both nearby.
There were a few minor maintenance/housekeeping issues to report. Those that come to mind are the lack of garage door openers, the lack of a stopper for the drain on the main floor bath tub, a broken electrical outlet behind the bed in the main floor bedroom, a running toilet in the loft bathroom, a loose door just below the kitchen sink (right side) and the false drawer just above it that had been scotch taped to hold it in place, and perhaps there could be a few more teaspoons added to the plentiful silverware. These are mentioned only to help the owner keep up with a fantastic home and they in no way detracted from a great vacation.
We would and already have recommended this house to friends that are considering a trip to Lake Tahoe.
