After reviewing several rental offerings via VRBO we selected "Log Lodge" based on the pictures and previous reviews. Being familiar with Tahoe, mostly State Line and South Shore we wanted to find something unique to make our trip to West Shore memorable. ![]() We were looking for a comfortable and charming location that would accommodate my wife and I and our two sons and their wives. Our niece had selected Tahoe West Shore for her wedding location. In spite of all the complications due to weather, we left with a good feeling about our time there and will return at a future date. However, on the days we skied the Nevada side only (we could not get to the top of the mountain until Thursday), once we got used to scaling the wall of snow and ice, it was very convenient to have direct access to the slope.Ĭommunication with the owner(s) was excellent in the months leading up to the trip and during the trip. For this reason, the property was extremely expensive for our party of 9 people with limited skiing in a record snow year. We had to rent a taxi twice ($100 round trip each time) to transport us and our equipment to and from the California Lodge. Plus, most of the mountain was closed for most of the week, and skiing from the Nevada side to the California side of the mountain (and vice versa) was impossible. The weather is not the owner's fault, but the Ski-On/Ski-Off feature, which was our main objective, required scaling a 12-foot wall of snow and ice to reach the Stagecoach trail and lift due to the record snowfall. If you plan to work at the location, prepare to bring a non-T-Mobile hotspot to ensure WiFi Access. The numerous and very nice TVs therefore could not be used for several days. WiFi is dependent on T-Mobile cell towers that were adversely affected by a storm. This was problematic to negotiate in icy conditions with tired legs at the end of the day. There are many steps from street level into the main house. Large garage area is perfect for donning/doffing and storing ski gear. Owner addressed a plumbing issue quickly and shoveled as much snow as possible when the storm cleared. ![]() Kitchen is very well appointed for cooking and gathering. Spacious and very comfortable in the main house, cabin, and studio.
