The main level features a spacious living area with comfortable leather seating, an over-sized wood fireplace, large flat panel TV and even a cozy corner perfect for curling up with a good book or for a friendly game of chess. Large windows surround the living and dining area (with seating for 8), all with views of the towering pines and the forestry lands which is just a stone's throw from the deck.

A simple but fully-equipped kitchen was just recently remodeled and features all new dining and cooking-ware, kitchen appliances and granite counter tops. Also on the main level of this rustic cabin, are two very comfortably appointed bedrooms. The king bedroom offers another large flat-screen TV and across the hall the queen bedroom has a smaller wall-mounted TV. Both share a full bath.

Looking to sled? The back yard area is perfect with a sloping lot that will entertain the little ones for hours!

Alpine Darling

Sent on 2021-08-19 by Sarita

Overall

The house was not appropriately cleaned. There were numerous cobwebs in several corners of the house, the patio furniture was unusable, the hot tub water was dirty, there were dirty dishes in the cupboards, the carpet wasn't very clean and the hand soap containers were filled low water/soap to the point we had to go out and buy our own. For the price we paid for the house and the cleanliness we were given it was a disappointing experience. We took pictures as well in needed to present. The property itself was beautiful but we will not be returning to this location because of the cleanliness.

Manager's Response

Thank you for your review and feedback about Alpine Darling. We are surprised to hear that you found the house in that condition upon your check-in as we did not hear from your group during your stay and could only assume you were enjoying the home. We do want to assure you that the home was professionally cleaned and the hot tub serviced prior to your arrival but we certainly apologize if there were a few items missed - that certainly is not okay. We take this feedback seriously and have scheduled to have the carpets professionally cleaned and the property deep cleaned.

House was as advertised and in an absolutely unbeatable location. We needed help with a minor appliance fix and Tahoe Getaways was super responsive and addressed the problem quickly. Communication on check in and check out and particulars for house were great. Couldn't have asked for a better experience, and will definitely rent this place and/or others from Tahoe Getaways again. Thank you!

Overall

The location near 5 lakes hiking trail, the ambience of the trees surrounding the property, the deck, jacuzzi on the deck, and the window seat looking out at an incredible view all made for an incredible stay! It truly was an Alpine Darling. I will definitely return. ( A new quiet refrigerator and flooring would be worth the expense to improve the experience even more!)

Alpine cabin

Sent on 2020-07-20 by Ashley

Overall

The cabin is darling and has a fantastic location. The neighbors and friendly and accommodating which made the experience all the more better. The only downside is the off white carpet throughout the house. It was stained and dirty upon arrival which was very off putting. For the amount I paid to stay there, I’d expect more than dirty carpet. Add some laminate flooring and this will be a 5 star spot.

Manager's Response

During the busy summer season it can be a bit difficult to do an entire carpet clean during a one day turnover as it leaves the carpet wet for a few hours. That said, we spent some time after your departure spot cleaning the carpets to ensure they aren't off-putting and in the next week we should have vacancy to clean them more thoroughly! We truly do appreciate our guest's feedback and it helps keep our properties in great shape.

We will definitely rent this house again next time we are in Tahoe. Great location!

It was exactly what we were hoping for from the website description. Great to find games and books there as well. Kitchen was well equipped and I was easily able to feed my tribe of 7. Comfy beds and pillows, so close to Alpine Meadows. We were all very happy with the cabin.

Over the top for what we expected. This place is outstanding. Beautiful views, hiking, close to gondola at Squaw. Stocked very appropriately (and we ate all our meals there). Hot tub in the evenings, feeling very private. A perfect stay, our golden retriever loved it too!!

Overall

Our family love the place. And we bought our 2 dogs with us and they surely enjoy how beautiful the place. They have everything you'll need from cooking wear til the tiny piece you'll ever need. For the kid the only downside was the wifi very poor connection. But you won't need a wifi if you want a quality time with your fam. Will definitely stay again if we'll come back at Lake Tahoe

Ski weekend

Sent on 2019-06-16 by Yen V.

Overall

We had a great ski weekend at Squaw. The place is 10 mins to downtown and same to Squaw for skiing. Everything felt very closeby. Spent a lovely snowy ski weekend with friends. The rental is run by a business and we called them for questions—communication was good. Overall was pretty smooth. Bathroom amenities were limiting (was told to bring extra toilet paper which we did and kinda weird that they didn’t just have an extra roll there). They have kitchen utensils and towels. The living room space is beautiful with tall windows and was a good hangout area.

Last minute Mountain Biking trip. Reserved this bad boy like 7 days before. Perfect location. Awesome views from right out side. Really close to resorts. The house was clean and homie. Very relaxing place after hours and hours of downhill biking. My friends and I had a blast with no problems. I would defiantly rent this place again.

Overall it was good, the only issue was 3inches of snow in June. :( . We werent able to do everything we planned the weather was not beach friendly. The rental was good, but next time ill look to rent later in the summer so we can take advantage of the horseback riding and beaches. It was a nice rental.

Overall, an enjoyable stay. Several lights were out and we could not get the DVD player to work. Comfortable beds, plenty of towels, the hot tub was appreciated, nice and clean. There was nothing in the kitchen cupboards except salt and pepper and a few old spices so bring everything (every other house we've rented had odds and ends (non-perishable) left from previous renters). This one had nothing!

Come again, still LOVE this place: trail behind house, calm weather in the valley, house facilities, close by Tahoe city, Biking/Jogging trail along creek, nice neighbor, and adorable neighbor's dog (name is Wilson)

Beautiful house, great location, some wear and tear

Sent on 2016-05-07 by Dan

Overall

My group had a fantastic winter in this cabin. A few things stood out: - The location was unbeatable. Being so close to the mountain was a big win. - The staff at Tahoe Resort Property Mgmt was great. I worked closely with Beth at the beginning of the season, and she was always quick and clear in the help she provided. - The house's interior was in good shape, with some signs of wear and tear on older fixtures such as the cabinets and fridge. - The fireplace caused us the most problems, with some sort of backdraft allowing smoke to come back into the cabin. Even with a strong fire going, the cabin would get a bit smoky over the course of an evening.

Lovely Place to Stay

Sent on 2015-12-28 by Susan

Overall

A great place for a pre-holiday family gathering. Warm and cozy, clean and well-equipped, and well-located. Many thoughtful details (games, DVDs, W/D, fluffy comforters, extra linens). Snow-covered driveway did require chains/snow tires to get up several times so be aware. Also loft beds are not for late sleepers since voices rise from living room nor is the bottom double bunk bed for older adults due to low overhead. Nevertheless, a truly lovely place to stay.

The home was perfect, felt like you were in your own home. They lay out was great, the loft upstairs had its own bathroom which was fantastic, T.V with games and then down stairs 2 bedrooms. I think my favorite place was the living room with the best fireplace ever and the the hot tub on the deck. TV

Great "Base Camp" for Tahoe Area

Sent on 2015-10-12 by Daniel

Overall

We had a great experience staying at this cabin. While it's not on the water, we still were able to enjoy our days by the lake, on the golf courses and in the restaurants knowing we had a quiet, comfortable play to rest our heads when we were done. Only negative was all the road construction going on, but I guess that's Tahoe in October.

Meticulously maintained beautiful home

Sent on 2015-06-09 by Yoni

Overall

My family often rent houses when we visit Tahoe or travel. This home is by far the most beautiful we've ever visited. What struck me was how well maintained this home was compared to other rental properties that we've encountered elsewhere (it's not that other properties are dirty, this property was just extraordinary). The shelves were packed with books, board games, video games and DVD's. Our 1.5 year old son had a blast going through some of the toddler books. The kitchen is also stocked with nice and clean glassware and cookware. The only downside was having to take our trash to the recycle center ourselves. Highly recommend both the property and TahoeGetaways!

Great location close enough but not too close. Home was well presented and very clean. Being so close to hiking trails , beaches and shops helped us to plan our days with a 10 and 5yr old very easily. The home had enough desperate areas to be alone if u wanted to, or all together without changing anything. A great home base for the week and would definitely go back...!
