This home is a 10/10 for sure! The large, beautiful home in a spectacular location would be enough for praise but the amenities are too good to believe. The game room, the pool table, the stocked kitchen, the real wood fireplace, the rope swings, sleds, kayaks, every appliance you might need, a medicine cabinet that has every first aid item imaginable, and 3 great bedrooms plus sofa beds. And somehow the setting is perfectly remote while being only 5 minutes from the lake. We're already planning our next visit.

Pictures don’t do it justice.
We had a great time. It was so relaxing. There was so much that was provided which I didn’t expect. The house was very clean and organized. Originally we were going to bring our dogs, but I didn’t want to worry about them with having 2 young children too. The dogs would have done fine with the way the property is fenced off so now I know for next time. We slept in master bedroom with our 2 year old and 10 month old and couldn’t hear anything upstairs which was great.

What a wonderful stay!
We had planned on using the house as home base for outdoor activities for 4 adults and 2 teens, but the weather had something else in mind. We experienced rain during much of our visit and had to hole up in the house. However, the fireplace, TV area on the second floor made it a wonderful place to hang out. Highly recommend!

Our Favorite Vacation Home
Just wow! The property is stunning. And the house has such a wonderful cabin vibe. So much space for kids to sleep (there are foldout couches in the play room). We loved the outdoor swing and played on it for hours. The property is fenced so dogs can run around. Also stocked with everything you could possibly need. So many small details that made the stay lovely including the medecine cabinet and fun magazines to read. Highly recommend!! We’ll be back!

Beautiful property. Well maintained. Had everything we needed. Tons of activities to do on site including games, hiking, lake access, rope swing, rock climbing wall, and more. Close proximity to grocery store and day trip to South Lake Tahoe is a must. My family can’t wait to return!

Incredible place for a family gathering
We came here from Virginia to meet up with our two kids and their families and my wife's nephew and his family. The house is very well stocked with bath towels, beach towels, basic spices, games, and water toys for the lake. There are multiple places to gather -- front porch, reach deck, game room, living room -- so we never felt like we were on top of one another. We had 8 people for four days and 11 for 3 days. We want to come back!

The house was spacious and welcoming, and well-stocked with supplies. The kayaks, paddleboard and floaties were a big plus as was the proximity to the lake. Pool table and games provided fun social time for all ages. Alex promptly answered all my questions. Everything was in place, so our group only had to enjoy our time together. Would come again.

Fabulous Family Fun Time
We loved staying at this house with our extended family. The many sleeping options gave us the flexibility to give everyone a great nights rest. We really appreciated all the smaller details they had onsite like shampoo, trash bags, baggies, bug spray and laundry soap. It felt like a home and we didn't have to spend time heading to the store to refill these items. We were there 4th of July weekend and were lucky enough to get to enough Sly Lake because they included their annual pass with the rental when the lake was full to all day users. The AC units also kept up with the 114 degree heat wave which was the most fabulous surprise about this home. Thanks for thinking of all the details Alex!
