Reviewer Comments:
This is the third year we have enjoyed this home. The location is great, the square footage is awesome, super layout, well-equipped kitchen, nice TV and sound system, great yard, wood-burning fireplace is fantastic, big garage, and walking distance to Garwoods. My only disappointment is in the quality of the details. It's either gone downhill or hasn't been maintained well, as I have seen no attention to upkeep over the years. The pictures on the website are at least 4 or 5 years old because they weren't accurate when we arrived a few years ago. I guess allowing pets for many years takes its toll (though we don't personally own pets). The living room rug is absolutely gross, and there is no longer a side chair. The throw pillows and throw blankets look completely gray, ols, and disheveled, so when we arrive, I toss them into the closet because I can't bear to touch them. The living room sofa has no structure; you sink into it and the pillows and cushions are completely lumpy. The bedding is good and the beds are comfortable, but the blanket in the closet that I added to our master bed apparently had tons of sand in it because I woke up with sand in the bed for 3 days before I realized that's what it was. The bath towels smell mildewy, and there are not enough of them for everyone to use the hot tub AND take a shower with a dry towel. The carpet covers on the toilet seat aren't my style, but the idea of how old they are kind of creeps me out, so I always toss those into a closet or drawer upon arrival, too. I gave all of this feedback to the management company a full year ago, so I was so shocked to see all of the same stuff and same conditions when we arrived again this year. Tahoe Getaways is always so great, so I don't get it - is it the owners? The price is going up for next year by a couple thousand more than we paid this year, and I can't figure out why, so we are not re-booking. It's disappointing because besides these details, it's a fanta
