NICE ACCOMODATIONS

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Condo was perfect for our small party. Balcony had great view of the lake. Kitchen was stocked with all items needed for cooking and meal prep.Had problems with refrigerator keeping food cold causing beef to rot, milk to curdle. This was truly unfortunate for us and increased our expenses. Rated 3 stars because of this. Rental process was easy and seamless.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My wife and I were married on the lake 25 years ago. We've ventured back to Tahoe ~ 15 times since then and have stayed in Carnelian Woods many of those times. Peaceful Escape offers the best views of the lake of any of those places. Other things we totally enjoyed were the very well appointed kitchen; the unit being clutter free, the fun and funky decor as well as the clean, super comfortable beds and furniture. You'll love it!

A highly enjoyable stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Peaceful Escape lived up to its name as a condo was perfect for my 5 day stay - very quiet (with minimal noise from neighbours), equipped as described and with a lovely fireplace that made it homey and cozy, and just right for unwinding and relaxing whilst taking in the fantastic views. It's also close to the car park, making unloading and loading when arriving and leaving super easy. And management (by Trent) is very professional and very quick to respond to any queries. A highly enjoyable stay - thank you!
