Really lovely view, pretty house. The IKEA furnishings starting to show wear, but very comfy overall. Unfortunately we had a number of issues, including no snow removal, missing snow shovel, and poor communication that left us house bound for two days. Neighbors were super helpful digging us out and we flagged down snowblower guys and paid them to help ourselves to help us. We also got locked out of the house one night in the middle of a storm, when the lock failed. Luckily the maintenance guy had given me his phone and he was able to get us a backup key within about a half hour. But super stressful. It felt like we should have paid about half what we did for the overall experience.

Wonderful A-frame style cabin in the hills overlooking Lake Tahoe. AvantStay was easy to communicate with and always responsive. I would stay here again.

The whole house is very comfortable and the location is very good.We were skiing in the palisades and only needed a dozen minutes drive each day, and it was comfortable to sit by the warm fireplace after skiing.There were some minor flaws, the oven was unusable when we checked in, after communication, it was fixed probably after two or three days, so we didn't get the oven to work the first few days.In addition, there is no vacuum cleaner in the room, so it is not very convenient to clean the carpet by yourself, we stayed for two weeks, and I prefer to clean the house ourselves in the middle.
