We go up to Tahoe every summer, but this was our first summer at Retro Home. We were beyond pleased. It was a lovely lay out, plenty of room, several reading nooks, well appointed, super comfortable living room, kitchen table to linger at, even following the meals, all around 5 star experience. Thank you!

We had two families and with young kids sharing this home and it was a lot of fun. The house is well set up and in a great location next to the woods and not too far from the lake. Kitchen, bathrooms & back porch looked recently remodelled which was really nice. I had to talk with the Tahoe Rental Company a couple of times and they were a pleasure to work with. The cleaning service is letting the side down - dishes have been put away dirty and floors not completely clean. Towels & sheets need to be replaced, they are old & thin. The house is that great though, that even with these issiues I'd rent again.
Wonderful Place for Family Gathering

We have owned or stayed in Chambers or Tahoma for 50 years. When we arrived at this property, my 36 year old son reminded me that we rented this place 29 years ago. Nothing has changed, which is "not a good thing" to quote Martha Stewart. The sheets and towels are worn out. There is too much clutter in the home. One can lose stuff amongst all the doodads. The drapes were falling of the rods in the living room. The kitchen, glassware, dinnerware and tools are old and disorganized. Lots of old spices, salts and herbs left in the cupboards way past their due date.That said, this rental is not cheap, and guests probably expect something better. The retro vibe is fine, but the place needs to be cleaned up. The management company is great and we will use again.

Before we scheduled the rental we checked the reviews and a lot of them referred to the perfect "grandma's" house...and they were right. Definitely a retro stay but the house had everything you'd need and plenty more. Games for the kiddos, plenty of space for everyone and internet (spotty at times). We had a great vacation and it was nice coming home to Grandma's house after a good day of skiing.
Our retro home does not disappoint, as it has a great old school feel with everything you need for a fabulous stay. We look forward to hosting you again soon. ~Tahoe Rental Company

We first booked Retro home for the location but couldn't be more impressed by the property itself and the service of Cindy and her company! The house is wonderful, the pictures don't do it justice and it is much more spacious than we expected. The bedding has been updated since the pics. The front of the house is also a beautiful new blue (even though we also liked the sunny yellow!) We LOVED the trails that are a 2 min walk from the house. We appreciated the privacy of the yard as described. A pleasant surprise was also how stocked the house was - kitchen supplies, sleds, DVDs, books, games, & puzzles. We hadn't put together a puzzle in years and there was something nostalgic about working on a puzzle by the fireplace while it was snowing outside. I'm sure the wagon was meant for summer gear but our 4-year old loved the quick "ride" down to the lake. Lastly, the service from this rental company is unparalleled. Over the years, I've rented 25+ properties around Tahoe, including the weekend we got married here. This is in my top 3 as far as giving me confidence that our family will be taken care of. We felt "at home" and look forward to returning here AND checking out other properties managed by Tahoe Rental Company in the future.

Aww! Thank you for the review. We really appreciate the kind words. The home is slowly being updated and I am glad you like all the small upgrades thus far. Sounds like you had a magical time with the family, enjoying the snow, the house amenities, the location and all the home has to offer. We look forward to hosting you again soon. ~Tahoe Rental Company

We had a great time in Tahoe and the Retro house was exactly what we expected. Old house with old stuff. Why did we like it? It’s big so there’s room to spread out, we have dogs, and there’s hiking trails right at the end of the street. When searching for a place we noticed that most living rooms had 1 couch and no other seating which makes no sense for groups. This house has lots of seating. Plus it’s a blast from the past we laughed a lot. The artwork! �� The wood deck furniture needs to be tossed it’s so dried out it’s a splinter danger and the cookware should be upgraded.
Thank you for your review. We take them very seriously and will look at replacing after winter season. We are happy that you enjoyed your vacation and the home and look forward to your next visit. ~Tahoe Rental Company

Returned this summer for another fantastic week. The house is roomy, comfortable, and well equipped. Easy walk to Homewood and perfect starting point for biking to Sunnyside and Tahoe City. Chamberlands Beach and Chambers Landing Bar/Restaurant did an excellent job of accomodating social distancing, much better than the scary photos we saw of other too-crowded locations.
We are thrilled to hear about your stay in the home and it sounds like you were able to enjoy the location next to nice bike paths. We look forward to your next vacation. ~Tahoe Rental Company

Tahoe Rental Company was extremely helpful throughout the duration of our stay. Katie was easily accessible via phone, despite it being the weekend. She answered our questions about some issues with the door key and the snow. The location of this cabin was incredibly convenient; we were able to walk from the cabin to the grocery store within 20 minutes through 2.5 feet of snow and could make it to the ski lodge in 5 or 10 minutes with little snow! There was plenty of space in the driveway for our two cars and the house easily lodged all 12 of us, plus a dog. The kitchen was stacked full of mugs, plates, baking plates etc. which made it easy for us to make dinner and prepare food for such a large group. We really enjoyed our time here and hope to stay again!
We are so happy that you enjoyed our home and your vacation. We are looking forward to hosting your future Tahoe vacation.

We enjoyed our stay at this rental home. It was clean and in a great location. This Retro home is truly retro, from the dishes to the decor. We had 11 people in our party and it was very comfortable. The home could use a new kitchen table due to the wear and tear but overall we were happy. We would stay again.

We enjoyed staying in this cabin. My sister and our husbands agreed it reminded of us of our parents home. It's a great lay out with great space. A location we all like and would love to return to.There are a couple of things you should know we called for assistance to replace outside light bulbs and got no response. We were not able to use the swimming pool at Chambers which I had been looking forward to. You could use some new beds and a dishwasher that thing is as old as the house. A new barbecue would be nice too. The problem was the deck. Loved sitting out in the trees but it's an accident that happened. I tripped and fell across a one inch gap, ended up in Tahoe Forest Hospital with a concussion and large bruising across my right arm. The TFH is a beautiful facility and I highly recommend it if necessary. Again we loved the basic house but it needs some updating. This review comes form a long time visitor of the Homewood/ Chambers Landing area.
We are happy Turner enjoyed the cabin and we really appreciate his feedback and are so sorry to hear about his trip to the hospital. We will make sure the owners are aware of Turner's concerns immediately.

The Retro cabin just south of Homewood was a great base for our group of three families including 5 kids and 2 dogs. Plenty of space, big kitchen with all the utensils you would need to cook a hearty meal after a day of skiing. It's called the Retro cabin for a reason, it has the charme as if grandma just left it but it's well maintained and super clean. Special shout-out to Shauna and everybody else at the rental agency, who were very responsive, proactive and helped us big time when we thought we locked ourselves out!
Thank you so much for the great review. We're so happy the house worked well for your group ad hope you come back again soon.

The property was quaint and in a wonderful location but was unclean. We found rotten baby bottles, dried dead bugs and dusty clothes under the furniture. I am disappointed that the check out instructions read to put linen by the laundry room but I am charged a hefty cleaning fee in my agreement. I have used the rental company for a few years now and they are very professional and accommodating, but I was not happy with this stay.
Thank you for the information regarding the cleanliness of the property. Our team is working with our housekeeping staff to prevent this from happening to anyone else in the future. We hope you enjoyed your stay otherwise.
