Fabulous Location! My friends and I enjoyed our stay at the Stanford Rock house in Homewood. Two blocks from the Lake Tahoe, 10 minutes from lots of restaurants, very beautiful and peaceful location. We enjoyed the hot tub on the deck under the trees, and we walked to Eagle Rock Trailhead for a short hike with a great view of the lake at the top. We did one of the puzzles at the house which was missing a few pieces, still fun though. Thanks for a great stay!

The kitchen was very well stocked, with cooking equipment, utensils, foil, plastic bags, etc. Great sound-system in the living room. Nice TVs, easy to use.
