While the cabin was in need of significant repair outside, it was decent enough inside. The hot tub was great. The pet fee seemed exorbitant.
The batteries for both the front door and back door electronic touchpads to get inside, died, and without cell phone reception, it was challenging to let the rental company know.
Our biggest frustration was the inability to communicate with Tahoe Rental Company in a timely fashion due to cell reception. Rather than wait until the hour before check in to receive the entry code, it would be far more comforting and convenient to get it before we leave the house to travel to the location.
Questions I asked were very vaguely answered, and we had a whole list of stuff to do upon departure that I felt our cleaning fee should have covered. I panicked because I forgot to push the start button on the dishwasher, and called about it on our way home. Most of the time we were at the cabin, I was concerned that we would not do something right and be charged extra fees because of it.
The BOOK of instructions was not only TOO MUCH INFORMATION, it was downright conflicting info. In several sections.
This was our first poor experience with a VRBO, though Lake Tahoe itself and the weather were perfect - rain, hail, thunderstorm and all!
