The house had 360 views and was so easy to drive to and park in the driveway and the garage (if you need to plug in your car). Two refrigerators made it easy to stock up on groceries if you plan to cook over several days. The young adults played pool, sat in the hot tub, talked in front of the fireplace where we had a nice log fire, skiied, snowboarded, and played board games. The house was well stocked with pots, pans and dishware but you have to bring in all of your own spices, condiments, and anything you might need as ingredients to cook. It is also difficult to find a place that allows dogs and our dog loved this house and it was great fun to have him join the family vacation. Also, the water was hot if you like hot showers and if it's a pet peeve when places only have luke warm water. What else...the management service was wonderful and answered the phone all the time if we had a question (Tahoe Getaways was the management service). I brought paper towels, aluminum foil, plastic bags, TP, soap, dishwasher soap, hand soap, because they said there would only be enough for 1 day but there was plenty there to last at least 5 days so not sure if you always need to bring all of that with you. We would rent this place again!
