Lakefront Relaxation - Lakeland Village #622
Couldn't have been more happy with the location of this townhome! Just a few steps to the private lake beach! The view was wonderful! The home had everything we needed and was very roomy and comfortable! Loved our stay, thanks!

"Modern" Zephyr, 7 min to Casinos/Heavenly Gondola
Lovely home, very spacious, beautiful, and excellently stocked with amenities. Minutes away from the Lake, grocery store, town, etc. Fantastic and responsive hosts -- we helped refill one of the propane tanks and they reimbursed as promised! We will stay here again next time we're back in Lake Tahoe.

Lakefront - Paddleboards & Kayaks - Private Dock
Amazing lakefront property and best place we’ve stayed in Tahoe yet! Incredible views from the main living space. Ryan, the host was extremely accommodating and responsive our entire stay. The use of paddle boards and the dock was a hit with our kids. We paddled to Garwoods, a must on every visit for our family. We had everything we needed from beach towels to kitchen utensils & the bbq. We are very appreciative to Ryan & his family for sharing their lake house with us to make our own memories and we hope to return in the future!

Heavenly Haven Lakeland Village Private Beach
Jennifer’s place was perfect for our family trip to South Lake Tahoe! It was beautiful inside and out and a quick walk to the lake!

Sapphire Shore - Lakefront, 3BR + 1BR Guest
My family and I had the MOST relaxing stay here. We didn’t leave the house! The views from the house were just so breathtaking. And the house itself felt so homey. We had everything we needed. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Dreamy Lakeside Tahoe Condo | Hot Tub | Sleeps 7
Great location! This spot particularly is right by the parking area, so loading and unloading was amazing. Hosts were nice and responsive. Thank you!

Lakefront Tahoe Cabin w/beach access & yard
Great location/setting on the water. Nice grassy area w/seating above the beach. Its an easy property to immediately feel comfortable in: Kitchen was straight forward to work in and the dinning and living rooms were spacious & relaxed w/nice views. Heater worked well and quietly. Bedrooms were comfortable and quiet. 5 minutes to Tahoe City (south) and 5 minutes to Cornelian Bay - lots of beaches and parks near by.

Newly Renovated N. Lake Getaway for Friends & Fams
Alyssa and her husband are super host. Super friendly with very timely, clear instructions. The house is in a great condition in a convenient location close to shops, yet in the peaceful neighborhood. They recommended us a few places to visit, which were spot on! I would come back! Thanks Alyssa for making our visit to Lake Tahoe memorable! Rich!

TAHOE HIDEAWAY: 3B/2.5BA,12 min walk to LAKE TAHOE
Amazing place, amazing location with everything one could ask for

Mid week summer deals! Steps to Lake & GarWoods!
We had such a great stay here with family and friends over the weekend! The cabin was beautiful, in a great location, and the host was super friendly and responsive. One thing that really stood out was how well-stocked everything was, which isn’t something we’ve typically seen at other Airbnbs. The kitchen had everything we needed, from pots and pans to coffee machines, spices, and seasonings, which was perfect since we did a lot of cooking. Just a heads-up if you’re a coffee person: they provide the machines but not the coffee, so be sure to bring your own! The place was also dog-friendly, which was a huge plus. We loved that there were tons of games, activities, and even outdoor gear to keep everyone entertained. You can tell the host really cares about the guest experience, and we’d definitely stay here again. Highly recommend!

Updated Stylish Carnelian Cabin-Garage & Hot tub
We just returned from an amazing stay at Drew’s beautiful home in Tahoe! The house was absolutely perfect for our family — spotless, beautifully maintained, and stocked with everything we could have possibly needed. The location was fantastic, close to everything, but still peaceful and relaxing. The hot tub was a huge hit, and all the little amenities made it feel like a true home away from home. Drew was a wonderful host — responsive, helpful, and made sure our stay was perfect from start to finish. Truly our best Airbnb experience ever — we can’t wait to come back!

Mountain Azure Tahoe
Great place for a quick bachelor party weekend! Host was communicative and a joy to work with. The backyard is nice and the house is gorgeous.

Spring Deals! Walk to beach, Hot Tub, Fenced yard!
Very spacious house, conveniently located close to Lake Blvd, providing a short drive to Kings Beach, Northstar, Tahoe City, and the Alpine and Palisades resorts. The house is quite spacious, with plenty of sitting space, a good kitchen and dining room space. There is room for 4 cars in the driveway, plus one or two in the garage (depending on your parking skills ;-), which is nice. My friends and I are already thinking of trying to rent this lodge again next year (although this review may make it more difficult...). We had a small issue with the hot tub -- it was perfectly usable (it is really big too), but the jets did not function correctly every time. This has been reported and given Madelyn's responsiveness, I am confident that this will be solved.

Stunning Tahoe Donner retreat
Great stay for family with a dog. Good location, comfortable home. Would stay here again

Beach Club Perks 4BR Family Cabin in Tahoe Donner
Ken is an outstanding host. He is extremely responsive, proactive and a terrific, efficient communicator. He also set (at least for me) the gold standard for "before you get here" communications, in the form of a 89 page (!) guidebook to the property, the surroundings, restaurants, ski-shops, where everything is and how everything works. Whoa! When I asked Ken for recommendations for Ski rentals, he steered us to exactly the right place within an hour. The cabin was spotless, well-stocked, and in every way as described. Zero surprises, which is how it should be. I can 100% recommend Ken and am looking forward to renting from him again.

Muhlebach Family Retreat
When you close your eyes and envision the perfect house in the mountains for you and 9 of your friends, it’s actually this house, bobbing up and down, waiting to open its doors to you. Hot damn, we loved staying here. 🤠🤠🤠This is a great place for a large group and would be great to enjoy with kids, too. So much space and almost everyone had their own bathrooms. We loved the open layout, huge kitchen and dining room table. Beautiful fireplaces in the living room and primary bedroom were a mountainy treat. Location is fantastic and only 10 mins to downtown Truckee (our favorite Tahoe town with great restaurants and nightlife). We had plenty of room for 5 or 6 cars including the garage area. The hot tub on the porch was used multiple times a day and we just really enjoyed the home. Matt was a great host. He was super responsive and helpful throughout. We appreciated having shampoo and conditioner in the showers, extra toilet paper etc. thank you Matt!! 🎿

Spacious Donner Lake Family Home & Hot Tub
We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful cabin near Donner Lake! The place was spotless, cozy, and had everything we needed for a comfortable getaway. The setting was peaceful and scenic—perfect for relaxing or exploring the outdoors. The hosts were incredibly kind and responsive, making check-in and communication super easy. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, charming cabin in a great location

4 Little Bears at Tahoe Donner!
We had a fantastic stay for the 2025 ski season! The cabin was both cozy and well-equipped, making it the perfect home base for our trip. The linens were neatly organized, which made laundry a breeze. The kitchen was impressively stocked—even a Vitamix! The board game closet was a treasure trove, with a huge selection of games and even toys for kids. Our 1-year-old is definitely going to miss the toy power tools! The location was also ideal—secluded enough to feel peaceful, yet just down the hill from the park-and-ride for the Palisades shuttle. Thank you for being such thoughtful hosts! We’re already hoping to book again next season.

Stunning Retreat w/ Panoramic Views, Hot Tub
We stayed at Steve's place during spring break, and just caught the end of the spring skiing. The master bedroom has an amazing sunrise, the kids loved the arcade, the hot tub had a fantastic view, and the chef's kitchen was perfect for home cooked meals. The layout of the space was perfect for our family of 5 + au pair, and props to the architect for the use of space, we've stayed at many airbnb's and this was one of the best combinations of space + views for our family.
