Positives:
1-the host, Shannon, was great throughout the entire process, pre book, pre arrival, during stay. She was extremely responsive via email.
2-location was awesome. Very convenient to hikes, grocery stores, Gar Woods (a must stop for drinks and ambiance), Tahoe City and Incline Village. Easy drive from Reno airport.
3-the house itself. Comfortable sitting and inside eating, great deck with views, and great gas fire pit area with 8 chairs at lakeside.
4-dock and buoys were great to have. We rented a boat for 6 days and being able to keep onsite saved so much time vs if we would have had to pickup & return it daily.
5-furnishings inside and out. Kitchen well stocked with utensils, plates, glasses. Outside there were paddle boards, kayaks, large Maui mat, etc.
Negatives - and really these were very minor and did not impact our time.
1-location- the house is on N Lake Blvd, so you do hear traffic (worse on weekend) up until around midnight and it starts up again by 6am. 2 uppper level bedrooms are on the roadside so had to sleep with windows closed for the most part. This is the trade off for the overall convenience of the location and wanting to be on the lake.
2-the house probably needs a deep clean, including the grill, though again overall it was fine (spiderwebs in windows, etc)
3-while the grill and water toys were available, an upgrade to the grill and a nicer 2-person kayak might be in order.
Overall the house made for awesome vacation!
