Tahoe Tavern Properties Rentals

My friend’s family owns a condo in these properties and i have got to say, I’m glad we took a trip up there. I cant say much about the people that take care of the rental houses and bookings, so i’ll just talk about the amenities and the view.
First off, the properties that face the lake are in a semi circle, and the lawn surrounding the inside is really well kept. Lush and green, great for sunbathing or playing outside with your family or pets. I’m sure in the winter time, it gets quite snowy and PERFECT for making snowmen and igloos. The properties look out toward the lake and the view is GORGEOUS, no matter what angle. Some of the trees block the lakeview from upper levels, but you can see a peep of the lake and its still breathtaking.
When you walk toward the pier, the water is so clear and pretty, and you can see the shallow bottom. People have moved around rocks to spell their names or acronyms for messages so that others can see from the pier. There is kayaking and jet skiing and other water activities that are available along the rocky shore. the view from the middle of the pier is pretty too, as you watch the boats go by. Very peaceful. Theres a lifeguard on duty that watches over people too. the wATER IS SO COLD THOUGh):): freeeeeeeezing
Inside the cabin is pretty nice. Everything looks comfortable and has a nice touch to it. Every condo has a patio that looks out to the lake. next to the lake, there is a beautiful swimming pool if you dont have the guts to jump into the freezing lake. And if you want to do some cardio and work out your legs/​butt and do the stairmaster… there are a bajillion steps leading down to the pier (: There is a garbage dumpster outside so you may dump all trash at the end of your stay. There is an overhang/​garage (?) in front of each condo in which 2 cars can park.
And whats great is that the town is within walking distance! so if you get too drunk doing some vacay in one of these places, you can walk it off by strolling down to the market and grabbbing some munchies heh

Need a place in Tahoe? This is not it. Where do I even start. Well, this was for president’s day weekend and I will take the blame or starting to plan this late. We were scrambling for a place and this was the only one place available. Initially it seemed ok since there options were pretty nice. But once I booked it, i got a call a couple hours later to say it was taken. Then a couple days before the trip, we got another call that this 2^nd place was not available due to a failure. And was offered a rather crappy replacement. The final place we were offered was a significant downgrade at the same price — until I pushed and was given a slightly better price. But at this point it felt like a bait and switch.
Then 2 months after the rental, i get charged for extra cleaning. We were told we left the place in a «mess» because we left CLEAN dishes on the counter — which needed to dry. The dish towels were damp and the dishwasher was already full. In addition, we were blamed for creating 12 loads of laundry — I don’t even know how this is possible. They had sheets for 3 rooms and towels for 9 people. We didn’t magically create more laundry that what is to be expected. I have stayed in many tahoe houses and have never been charge any extra fees.
Everything is just a little shady and I can’t recommend it to anyone. Try hard to find another place. The place was fine but not stellar. This is probably the only saving grace of the place, the fact we were able to get a place for the weekend.
