Very comfortable lay out!

This house was perfect for a family of 5. Two 15 year olds and a 12 year old. Very comfortable lay out with everything that we needed. House came nicely outfitted with everything we needed, shampoo, beach gear, etc. Location is tucked nicely into the woods with a VERY nice backyard hang out area. Private and large,. All around very pleased with the property!

Spacious & Inviting

This beautiful home was very accommodating for our family (6 adults and 5 children). We loved the sleeping arrangements and huge kitchen, where all of us were able to eat meals and play games at the large kitchen table. Be prepared for an over-heated kitchen and living room in the hot summer months as there is no AC. Even 3 fans in these rooms could not lower the high temp! Thank goodness all the bedrooms stayed cool.

Wonderful stay for two families!

We had a fantastic time staying at Christina's place and it perfectly accommodated two families with two kids each (age range 2-7). Our group grilled almost every night so the deck dining + grill set up was just perfect, and the kitchen is really nice as well if your group will be cooking. Everything was really as-advertised, and having the yard where kids could play within sight of parents prepping meals was a major plus. Highly recommend this place :) I saw another review comment on bringing a fan and appreciated that heads up -- it was really hot during our Tahoe trip and if you're planning a trip at a similar time, I'd recommend bringing along a good fan to help cool the bigger rooms down; worked perfectly for us.

We live in San Francisco with our 2 children.

Why they chose this property

Living in San Francisco, we wanted a vacation property which allows for easy access to the outdoors for our children. I love that while cooking, I can watch the kids playing in the backyard all year round.
