Views did not disappoint, exactly what we were looking for each morning and evening! From photo to reality this was it. Property was in good shape inside. Honestly with kids be prepared for climbing lots of stairs, its a workout especially with elevation. Not a deal breaker just be prepared to plan your journey up or down to minimize extra work. 1 TV which was nice to use briefly and keep nights calm with kids, no tv's in bedrooms. Mudroom at front door was nice to put gear, suitcases etc. Kitchen had a lot more seasonings and spices that we expected, was nice to have the options. Nice big fridge and ice maker upped it for us when we were doing outings each day. Parking was a little confusing, need to read the instructions clearly. Only downside we had was the neighbors speaker system blasting and vibrating the walls when they were there. The walls in the living room joining theirs must be thin - we heard plenty of drunk conversations including the forehead smack of "turn it up". Sort of took the 5 down to a 3.X pretty fast, caused a bunch of stress for my kids too. Long as that one part is managed/smoothed out you should expect a wonderful stay here at the Black Bear Lookout!
First time in Tahoe with our kids. We came into town for the golf tournament and stayed for a few days to enjoy Lake Tahoe. We loved the location and every person enjoyed the beautiful views from their bedroom. Pros: the views, location, communication, clear instructions, Cons: the ceiling fan in our room didnât work and we are used to a fan so we missed the air movement and it was hot in the evenings so we didnât sleep so well. I recommend fixing the fan and installing one in each room. There are nightstands and hanging closet organizers for clothes. I recommend actual dressers which would be much nicer. We couldnât find where to put the trash since there was not great signage in streets and thatâs no fault of the owners. Since there will be cleaning people coming anyway, it might be better to just have renters put all the trash in one bag and leave it tied up and knotted in the trash can just inside the front door. Of course if people stay longer and have more trash during their stay, they would need to find the garbage dumping place earlier; this just wasnât our situation since we had such a short stay and didnât really have much trash.
We were very excited for our stay, until we got questioned about my momâs service dog who we ended up not taking because we felt less welcomed. After the back and forth and getting told Iâm not telling the truth we took the chance and didnât bring the service dog. This was very upsetting. When we arrived the place looked cozy and warm but when we got settled we noticed all the dirt and grime all over . Not to mention there was like 5 or 6 stories. There was dust on all the light fixtures long stringy cob webs hanging down from chandeliers and used toilet paper rolls set out for us to use. The carpets were all stained but I do understand that to some degree. Also The thermostat the whole week we were there was hit or miss. The fireplace didnât work and there was no BBq. The cons definitely outweighed the pros. The only pro being the gorgeous view! Last thing I will say about this place is that when we took the teach out as asked we had to go all the way down and around to get to where we needed to dump it. This was such a far fetched ask. I would not recommend this place!
My family and I saved this property for four days, and it was one of the best vacations weâve ever taken. The views from this property are absolutely stunning. Having the bedrooms on each floor allows for family members to have their own space which really enjoyed our time at this property. While we were there, we experienced a snowstorm and the house was supplied with all the things we needed to clear the pathways and the vehicle.
We stayed for 6 nights and really enjoyed our stay. Make sure to bring soap for showers (hand soap in bathrooms, but no soap in shower areas) and laundry soap if you plan on doing it.
Some nice updates have been done, but it would really be spectacular if the carpeting in the unit was replaced, as well as drapes that fit the 3rd floor bedroom.
Directions that the unit is on the opposite side of the unit would be helpful because the entrance is not seen from the road because of rocks that block the view. Also, parking for the unit is not right next to the unit, but on the other side of a separate unit.
Great property with a beautiful view!
Beds were comfy and clean kitchen was clean and had basic essentials. The only thing that was not mentioned in description was that this property had multiple levels with stairs which was difficult for my 2 year old. Other than that this property was great!
The house is in need of a deeper clean. In the surface it was clean but looking closer it needs more cleaning. At the foot of the sofa behind the magazine table there is an old dirty sock that it appears has been there for a while
What a view!!! Absolutely loved the view and the entire unit. It was clean and was well stacked. I just wish they had an Iron box. Would definitely recommend and stay again!
