Often when you stay at VBRO properties, they are much smaller than they look in the photos. This one was the complete opposite - it was huge! The place was clean and well-stocked. It would be great for a family with older kids because the downstairs has two bedrooms, a full bath, and a family room. Then there is another family room/social space upstairs too with a primary bedroom/en-suite! It was convenient to Northstar and Palisades, but would also be really great in the summer - you can see the lake from the front patio area and could walk to Gar Woods for some drinks and dinner. Definitely would stay again! Only tip I would say is it we were there in Tahoe in the winter, and the upstairs has gorgeous cathedral ceilings, so it can get a little drafty. They had a few blankets, but you may want to make sure you have a few sweatshirts or blankets of your own if you run cold!
