Lake Escape - Lakefront

by Guest
Special place for a special occasion With family members ranging from 3 to 90 years of age, this was a wonderful property for a multi-generational family get together. Celebrating a 90th birthday and a 60th wedding anniversary, Lake Escape afforded activities for everyone. Not new to waterfront property rentals on Lake Tahoe, we found Lake Escape to be as unique and special as any of the others we have rented. A waterfront property with its own dock has always been a prerequisite, and this one did not disappoint. The mid-century modern architecture was fantastic. I highly recommend Lake Escape for any large group looking for a special experience.

Our Best Vacation Yet – Lake Escape is a Must! Our stay at Lake Escape was absolutely perfect! The pictures don’t even come close to capturing how beautiful this home really is. This was our first visit to Lake Tahoe, and it’s easily the most magnificent place we’ve ever been. The lake’s crystal-clear water and the breathtaking mountain views from the deck were unmatched. The house itself was spotless, spacious, and incredibly comfortable. Each bedroom felt cozy yet roomy, and the hot tub was a dream after a day of exploring. Sitting on the deck, soaking in the scenery, was pure magic - we could have stayed there all day. Tahoe Luxury Properties coordinators made our experience even better. They were friendly, responsive, and full of helpful recommendations. Every question we had - before and during our stay - was answered right away. (Thanks Danni & Jennifer!) One of the best vacations we’ve ever taken, and we will absolutely be back. Highly recommend Lake Escape to anyone visiting Tahoe!

Fantastic Location and Stunning Views of the Lake Highly recommend for a family or group vacation, home had all the amenities you would ask for, rated 4 stars as the home was a little dated, not a issue for us but maybe for some.

Incredible Property! I rented this house for my family to stay in while attending a wedding down the road at Garwoods. The house was incredible. It was very spacious, with big common areas, plenty of bathrooms, and a view that can't be beat. The kitchen was large enough to make meals for large groups, everything was very clean, and communication with Tahoe Luxury Properties was easy, with very quick responses. I'm so glad we found this house.

Beautiful and spacious home This property was perfect for a large group. We stayed with the entire extended family which included adults and children, there was plenty of common space and bedrooms and bathrooms for all. The views can't be beat, and the location was so convenient. The house was incredibly clean. It was easy and seamless to communicate with the property managers before and during the stay, they were always quick to respond. Loved our stay!

Perfection This was our first time working with Kristi and the team at Tahoe Luxury Properties, and we could not be happier with their service and the quality of the property. We had a group of ten (10) adults, and the size and layout of the home could not have been better. We used all the amenities, and everything was great, from the kitchen space to the TV, the pool table, and the dock. We cannot wait to do this again.

Beautiful Property! We had 13 family members ranging from 10 to mid 70's - the house was perfect for all of us. Plenty of room for group meals and lots of places for small groups. We absolutely enjoyed our time here and would easily give it 5 stars!

Great family vacation We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. With 13 of us ranging in age from 10 to 72, it seemed there was just the right amount of group space as well as smaller activity space—from a large gathering in the great room to shooting pool, time in the hot tub, activity on the dock, and room for a couple of group meals with a private chef. It was a great family experience!

Remarkable Lakefront Property This home was in a lovely location in North Tahoe. I was able to host my entire family for the weekend, and it was exactly what I was looking for. I especially liked that the master was on the main floor and all the other bedrooms were on the lower floor or apartment, which meant extra privacy for my husband and I. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed for 16 adults.

Beautiful Home We really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home! This was an annual get-together with a bunch of my college buddies (from the 80's) and their families. Positives: - truly unique and memorable home architecture with spectacular lake views - great communal spaces for meals, games, etc for a large group (we were 14) - nice to have the separate apartment for anybody who wants a little more quiet (in our case, a couple with an infant) - central location for Squaw, Alpine Meadows, Northstar Negatives (considering the price point) - Needs some updating, showing a little wear and tear. E.g. broken blender, broken instant hot faucet in kitchen, blinds in bedrooms and baths that don't function properly. - Whole-house speakers are present, but they aren't connected to any entertainment system. We had to buy a bluetooth speaker so we could play music on the main floor. (There is a decent music system in the downstairs game room). - House has plenty of fireplaces, but only provided a small box of firewood which lasted about 90 minutes. Manager Response:

Wonderful house for large family! Our large family had a fantastic week at Lake Escape! I would give the house 5 stars except it could use a little updating. Great view and access to the water! We spent many lovely hours on the deck. The bedding was so very nice....first class. Kitchen well stocked. All in all, a great place to stay!

Incredible Views! When our original rental property for a party of 16 was rendered uninhabitable due to a well/pump failure on Friday night, we were quickly relocated to a nearby lakefront property, Lake Escape, at Carnelian Bay, which turned out to be perfect for our group----spacious and private with incredible lakefront views. Patrick Hall, the operations manager, came by to confirm that all was well at the new location. The house was great and we had a wonderful family weekend, despite the initial snafu. Kudos to Tahoe Luxury Properties and Patrick!

Best Family Vacation Yet Our family of 15 adults made every minute count. We took advantage of every activity available in the area. The house could not have been more perfect. The layout and bedroom configuration were ideal for our group, and the kitchen was well stocked. The large dining room table made it easy for all of us to sit together, and we especially loved the concrete pier, easy access to the lake, and the hot tub. There are a few things that could use a little updating and maintenance, but they were overshadowed by our overall wonderful experience.

Wonderful family vacation This is a beautiful home and was perfect for our three generation family gathering. The deck and dock were also perfect for sitting outside and enjoying Lake Tahoe. The views from inside the home were lovely as well. The kitchen worked very well and the dining room table was large enough for the 12 adults. There was a nearby small table for the children. We have stayed several places at Lake Tahoe with the family and this was the best place we have been. We have already booked for next year!

BEAUTIFUL HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS! Our family had the most amazing Thanksgiving week at this breathtaking property! The views were spectacular, the space was incredible and the snowfall was "icing on the cake"! We were able to ski and come home to a fire in the fireplace and a magical view of the lake. The kids loved the pool table too! The photos do not do this home justice.

Time of our life! No words to describe! It is more gorgeous than the pictures! To wake up and go to bed every day with this amazing view was priceless. We celebrated my 50th birthday with family and friends. Every day was a celebration to enjoy in this beautiful home. We all hated to leave this incredible experience. Thank you for sharing this home with us and thank you Tahoe luxury for always being available for any questions or concerns along the way. It was the trip of a lifetime and hope to do it again and again!

Amazing vacation home. There are not enough words to describe how amazing this home was no how incredibly helpful all the staff at Tahoe Luxury Properties were in making sure we had everything we needed. We had a family of 13 adults and 3 toddlers and it felt in raid le spacious and comfortable. The kitchen is stocked with everything imaginable to make the stay perfect for cooking. The beds and linens could not have been more luxurious. Everything was in great working order. Now the views from the house are spectacular. Sitting on the picnic table at the end of the pier every morning with family and coffee in hand was a perfect start to each day. The concierge services were great. Everything we needed was at the house on the day we arrived. We cannot wait to return. Really hated to leave the house.
