6.0 / 10.0Average·Jun 2025
The good:Host was great at communication and responded quickly whenever needed and was always helpful.The location is great, walking distance to a little coffee shop kayak rental place, breakfast place, and a dog friendly pretty rocky beach. Good location that is very close to the lake.The lodge is nice with a nice pool and fun games.The bad: We had a bad smell in the kitchen, took the garbage out and it wasn't that, then discovered a dead mouse in a cabinet. Realized the bathroom had what looks like is a mouse trap too.I realize we are in the mountains but we have a family cabin in Utah too, have stayed other places in Tahoe, and Idaho, Montana, etc. And never had a mouse problem. Maybe rather than traps and exterminator may need to routinely come? The host apologized and had the cleaning service come remove the mouse the next day but it freaked me out because I hate mice, especially where we are preparing food and knowing it was decomposing in a kitchen cabinet while we were there grossed me out.
