Gorgeous Lake Home! The house was gorgeous, airy and roomy, with easy, direct access to the lake. The kitchen was well stocked with plates, cutlery, cooking pots/pans/utensils, etc. We enjoyed the hot tub on multiple days. The house has three dishwashers, plus a small fridge on the ground floor to supplement the main refrigerator. We enjoyed our trip and the house, very much.

THE BEST TIME!!!!! Wow!. This home is even better than the pictures. Every detail was thought out when they remodeled this place. My friends and I did not want to leave. Our expectations were far exceeded, and the home was spotless. We even got to check in early and check out a little later. Tahoe Luxury Properties was so great and welcoming. We also hired a private chef - Meghan McFarlin, from Sweet Party. AMAZING chef if you need one. https://www.tahoesweetparty.com/

The Perfect Retreat As a returning visitor, this house proved once again that it is the perfect retreat and escape from the bustling Bay Area. The views, the lake access, the massive kitchen, and the cozy, spacious bedrooms are spectacular - not to mention the excellent communication and hosting by TLUXP.

Amazing What an amazing time we had. Every detail was thought of and the kitchen was gloriously stocked for those that love to cook big meals...we used every amenity. The home is beautiful and the furnishings, beds, linens and decor are top quality and comfortable Everything was exactly as represented and that too was wonderful (often not the case with other rentals). I’ve never stayed where there was nothing to be disappointed about, until now! Cleaning was also beyond reproach...we were very pleased. We’re all ruined and will have to vacation here at TLUXP Summerhouse all the time. Thank you for your attention to detail...all of you a TLUXP were diligent and delightful to work with. Till next time!

Exceeded our expectations! We stayed at Summerhouse and had an incredible Thanksgiving week. When we first arrived the house was meticulously clean and even better than the pictures! The house is beautiful and has all top quality appliances in the kitchen which makes cooking meals very easy. All the little details of this place give it so much character and charm. We would highly recommend and loved the style, size, location and cleanliness of the house!!

Wow Incredible lakefront property! Tahoe at its very best. We stayed with our four kids and the house couldn’t have been more comfortable. Waking up to the waves lapping the shoreline was incredible! The BBQ, hot tub, pool table and dock all got a lot of use. Thanks to the owners for opening up your home! We will be back.
