Summary: My family plus in laws were very impressed with this home and the attention to detail. It had everything we needed and then some. Clean with extras of all the things you would usually have to ask for... but never had to ask. The location is close to a grocery store, gas and the bare essentials. However if you are unfamiliar with the area... you will get none of the bustle or similarities of tahoe. Quiet and remote is what you are getting. Overall we were so pleased with the home and enjoyed the small adventures in the area while relaxing in the quiet space.
