Thumbs Up for A Walk in the Woods Very nice place for a family reunion of nine. Open floor plan for cooking, dining, and visiting. Great location for families with a terrific Childs playground for the grandkids and plenty of hiking trails for the adults. We usually stay in Incline village for our summer getaways but really found the Tahoe Vista area a very nice surprise. Very clean and well appointed.

Clean, Comfortable, Perfect Getaway! We stayed over Labor Day weekend with 3 couples, and the house was exactly as described. There was enough room so everyone had their privacy, and also enough room so we could cook together and have enough room to move around. Would definitely love to come back!

Perfect Location for a Family Getaway We loved A Walk in the Woods. The home was perfectly appointed for our group of 6 (2 adults and 4 kids and a doodle) from towels, to pots and pans, to plates, to plastic cups for use while in the hot tub. The home was clean, spacious and beautiful. Our backyard was the Tahoe National Forest with easy access to the Tahoe Adventure Park (think ziplines and obstacle courses) and a short drive to the Lake, Kings Beach and Tahoe City. Tahoe Luxury Properties was communicative and responsive. We can't wait to return again.

The Best! I can’t speak highly enough of this vacation home and the outstanding rental company. From seamless communication to thoughtful touches, everything was exceptional. The home was spotless, beautifully maintained, and fully stocked—including a Ballerini pan, a favorite of mine. Every question was promptly and professionally answered, making the experience effortless. I've stayed in many rentals, but this stands out as the best by far. The added bonus of walking through the backyard into the national park made the stay even more enjoyable. This property reflects a rare attention to detail and guest comfort. I highly recommend it and look forward to returning.

Wonderful Vacation Home Lovely house with enough room for our party of 10. Everything was as described. TLUXP was very responsive, including sending someone to fix a clogged toilet right after we reported it. The hot tub was clean and ready for us to use. The great room and deck were a favorite.

Christmas Ski Trip We thoroughly enjoyed our time here. The layout was great with plenty of space for everyone. The kitchen was well stocked and very spacious and the hot tub was a great place to unwind after a day on the slopes. Space for parking 2 cars in the garage was a bonus this time of year. Would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful Location and Home! We loved our stay in this home. It was located perfectly to allow us to get out and enjoy the beautiful snow and have lots of fun and adventures at many of the local attractions as well as cross country skiing, hiking and sleigh rides, and sledding. We even did the zip lines at Treetop. After our active days, we were grateful for the cozy and comfortable home to return to. We loved it here!

Great house, well-stocked kitchen! We cooked almost every night and were pleased with the well-stocked kitchen. Plenty of pots and pans of all sizes and a good selection of kitchen utensils. The only con in the kitchen was the refrigerator. You often think it's closed, when it's not. It beeps most of the time if it's not fully closed, but sometimes it doesn't. BBQ worked on the deck worked well. House layout was excellent. Great for 2-3 families, depending on how many kids you have. We had three families of three, and it was perfect. Nice big great room so it never felt crowded. Garage has ping pong! Nice that there were beach chairs and beach towels for us to use. Washer and dryer worked great. We really enjoyed our stay. Thank you!

Perfect house Enjoyed the house thoroughly! It was perfect, so beautiful and relaxing! Between the two families that stayed there we had children ranging in ages from 9 to 6. Having the separate living areas between the upstairs and downstairs was so nice. Giving the adults a break from the kids and vice versa, plus a room for grandma to have all to herself. The kitchen had everything you would need with plenty of room to store food. The house is in a great location for skiing and sledding. Tahoe luxury properties were excellent hosts and made things easy. We will definitely stay here again if its available. Thanks!

Will Stay Again! I can't recommend this place enough. The kitchen is stocked better than I expected and made cooking family meals super fun. The layout of the place is great- so open for everyone to be able to hang out and a space downstairs to put the kids if they want to watch a movie. The place was spotless and Tahoe Luxury Properties was very easy to communicate with when I had questions. I would 100% stay here again.

A good time was had by all Great location. Walk just a half block through the woods, and you will be in a park, with baseball fields, a soccer field, a very fun and challenging frisbee golf course, and an adventurous and fun zip line, between trees park. The rental house was very clean and comfortable. We had eleven this time, and enjoyed every day and night we were there. Of course the smoke field basin was odd, we still had a wonderful time. We have rented i think five summers through tluxp, have not had a bad experience once. Feel very comfortable renting from them, wish i could afford to buy some pf them. Thanks had a great time

Highly recommend Lovely house, and TLUXP was super responsive. Great location, and very convenient garage parking. No A/C, which is difficult in summer, but apparently quite standard for Tahoe homes. A well stocked kitchen with everything you need to prep meals. All around highly recommended.

Amazing My husband and I stayed here for a week during Memorial wk and can’t say enough about how amazing of a stay we had @ A Walk in the Woods! The home is perfectly equipped with anything you need and even had all the cabinets and light switches labeled! (Always a perk in a new space). The house itself was beautifully decorated, comfortable, and in a prime location in North Lake Tahoe. The Hot tub on the deck was an added bonus in the evening after long hikes on the trail view beautiful forest views. The location was perfect for us to grab a fresh juice from the juice bar in town in the AM, hit the trails in any direction (north, west , or south) in the afternoon and catch the full moon rising in the evening at Kings Beach! In addition, Ava and Danni from Tlux Properties were amazingly helpful, and made our stay even better! Thank you for an amazing vacation! We can’t wait to keep coming back here every year!

A wonderful property, very comfortable We loved the space, the photos are accurate and it worked for our family- 18 mo baby, adult children, grandparents and even an 81 yo parent. Very comfortable beds, beautiful and fully equipped kitchen. Very close to skiing and hiking in the 'hood is super easy. There is a park with a ropes center very close by, too. You definitely need 4 wheel drive vehicle- we got snowed in for two days which was actually kind of fun! The fireplace is kind of odd- it is gas connected to the room temperature, so we did not have the roaring fire we dreamed of at key times. There is only one zone of heat for the whole house, which was odd considering the home, which is gorgeous, was built in 2008. Still scratching our heads on that one! Loved 'A Walk in the Woods'.

Perfect in every way We are a large family and love to cook when we travel together. This home provided us all the amenities we needed. The hot tub was a plus after playing outdoors in the beautiful back country. It was beautifully but thoughtfully decorated. We only had a problem trying to get the thermostat to adjust correctly to keep the house cool for us. I would rent this property again. Great for winter vacations.

Wonderful Our group of 10 had a wonderful 3 night stay at A Walk in The Woods. The property photos are spot on, in fact, it was much more spacious than I expected. The house was very clean upon our arrival and the guest book provided us with all house info we needed. We loved the open kitchen and large dining area. We also had a chance to grill and take a dip in the hot tub. I'd highly recommend this property and hope to stay here again soon.
