We had a great time! The location was perfectâclose to everything we needed. The host was very attentive and provided lots of helpful suggestions to make our stay even better. Would definitely recommend!
The location and views canât be beat. The house was plenty big for our vacation. Mailana was very accommodating and responsive! However, the house needs some revamping. The furniture (specifically the couch and outdoor couch) were falling apart and uncomfortable. The wires outlining the upper deck were loose which was a huge safety issue for the kids and dogs. The gate at the top of the staircase was flimsy and frustrating to deal with. And in general the house needed a good cleaning (my kids feet were black within in minutes of walking barefoot in the house) Overall we had a nice stay just feel for the price paid the house should be a little more updated/more attention to detail
Our group enjoyed our stay. Host was the best communicator Iâve ever experienced in a vacation rental. No stone left unturned. The house was amazing and we look forward to visiting again!
Great location on West Lake Boulevard with unobstructed views of Lake Tahoe. Bike/Pedestrian path accessed across street. Close to Tahoe City and evertyhing else on the West Side, including pristine and spectacular Emerald Bay and endless miles of hiking. House is well equipped, and has a private pier, paddleboards, bikes for guest use. Easy must doâs include cold plunging off the end of the private pier, scrambling up Eagle Rock a short walk away, and chilling on the large deck with full-on Lake Tahoe views. We even had a friendly black bear come bu to say hello!
Great Views and close to the the Quaint town of Tahoma.
We had a great time with our family. The views are great! I would recommend this property for 6 adults and 6 children. One bedroom with 4 twin beds if attached to a bedroom which can be a challenge. The primary bedroom as nice, which had a wonderful shower with great water pressure, however there was no door to the bathroom so be prepared. The home is right off of Hwy 89 so expect traffic sounds. The lake, and private dock are right across the highway which was wonderful to enjoy.
The house was fantastic! Such a breath taking view. We had 10 ppl and one dog and everyone was more than comfortable. The only downside is there is no sound barrier from the main road traffic so that was a little loud. We did have a visit from some Bears so make sure to keep your cars locked and super clean. We loved the privacy of our own pier and took many walks along the lake. Was the perfect size for our group
The house is large but cozy. The view over the lake is amazing. Half our tribe went snowboarding at Palisades and the rest of us stayed in and watched the snow accumulate, and boy did it. Very good communication with owner. We had a great time. Because there were 10 of us, a few more comfy chairs or beanbags in the living room would be nice. Snowplow for driveway was much appreciated. Overall, a great place to stay!
My cousin and I stayed at Malainaâs Homewood home in Sept 2024. Even after four days in the home, we could not get over the spectacular view of the lake from the downstairs living areas, the upstairs bedrooms and of course the large deck. The kitchen was nicely updated and no well equipped with dishes and appliances. Note: Fridge is cleared out so guests do need to bring in spices, condiments, etc.
Beds and bedding were nice and comfortable.
Master bath is updated and lovely. The other two baths are small and of older style, but functional.
The basement is loaded with outdoor gear for guest use. The property is not fenced.There is a nice path behind the property for a short forestry walk. We did hear coyotes back there, so beware if walking a d. The walking path along shoreline is spectacular either direction. The dock was a nice perk to walk out onto and enjoy the view.
Our only complaints were: (1) the very important gate to secure our dog on the deck was broken. The road below is quite busy with fast traffic so it is imperative that the gate be closed to keep children and pets safe. We mentioned the broken gate to Melaina, who replied quickly that her handyman would come the next next day, but he did not show up. Then it rained the next day, so it never got fixed for our trip which made coming and going a bit of a hassle.(2) The place could use a deep cleaning. The floors were dirty, even though they look clean, and the baseboards, and some doors and walls need cleaning.
Perfect location on the lake. Beautiful views from virtually every room. Enjoyed taking a morning plunge into the lake off the pier every morning. Great proximity to kayak rental and local deli in Tahoe city. Could not have asked for more! Thank you Mailana!
