I had a fantastic weekend here with a group of friends during the winter season. The house is incredibly wee-stocked, including the kitchen, where we cooked an amazing dinner, the bedrooms, each with a separate bathroom, the living room with a ton of games and fireplace and the garage with all kinds of sport equipment for all seasons. We made great use of the hot tub, ping pong table and foosball table. It is a 10 minute drive from town where we rented snowshoes, 5 min. drive to Safeway, 5 minute drive to Lake Tahoe and 5 minute drive to N. Star Ski Resort. The pictures do not do it justice. It was really wonderful. David and Phyllis are extremely helpful and well organized making everything really easy to plan and use once we were there. Amber

We had an amazing time! The house has the perfect location. Less that 10 minutes to Northstar. Also only a mle or two from beach. House had all the amenities and extras you could want. It was very clean. Everythoing was nicely laid out. Beds were very comfortable with extra pillows and blankets available if needed. Shower had tons of hot water. There were 6 of us taking showers. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking ware, cutlery, storage, dinnerware, appliances. Everything one would need for preparing meals. We will definately stay here again.
Side note: my husband and I arroved late Thursday night. My husband found that the hot tub was not working. I spoke to David the next morning and hot tub was fixed THAT DAY!! Ernie, the hot tub guy was very nice and professional. We loved using the hot tub over our weekend stay and we were very pleased at how quickly the issue was resolved. Jeanine - February 2015

Our group had a very fun and comfortable stay at higher ground. David made it very easy to book and get into the house. The decorations were very nice and amenities made it feel like home. Plenty of extra blankets and towels. There was more than enough space for everyone to eat and socialize together. The house is in a very nice eighborhood alose to Northstar and kings beach. Thank you for renting to us! Courtney

We talked several times, and David always gave me the information I was after. A very friendly person. Donald

The house was clean, spacious, orderly and had everything we needed and more. Clearly labeled and easy to understand how to operate everything. I would love to stay there again and the whole process was very easy. Angela

Our stay at Highter Ground was amazing. The location was beautiful and quiet, and the house was comfortable and accommodating. Thanks to David & Phillis for a great place! Cody

Fantastic house for a weekend break with friends. Very comfortable and close to the lake. Would definitely come again. Thanks! Hugh

Good location, clean and comfy. More fun than expected: fosball in the garage. The combo doesnot work, but David returned my call timely and fixed the problem. Yi

We stayed over February Ski Week with two families and the unit was clean, confortable and perfect for entereaining aduilts and kids alike. David was very responsive in answering all questions and getting us setup with access and information prior to our stay. I would recommend this cabin as it is 10 minutes from ski resorts, lake/beach access, grocery stores and restaurants. We would come back for a repeat stay at "Higher Ground". David

Higher Ground is an excellent place for a large group. There are plenty of things to do at the house - ping pong, foosball, board games, digital piano, anwsome hot tub on the large back porch, and 2 largh flat screen TVs. The only thing missing is a sound system to play your favorite music on (bring your own). Everything is labeled making it easy to find things and figure out what wall swithch does what. Were were even able to take a nice hike into the National Forest from the backyard. I would definitely stay at Highter Ground again! Chris

David's response is always very quick, and responsible. The cabin is well maintained and has a few nice items such as boot warmer/pingpang table/fuseball table...even popcorn machine! It was a nice and eacy expreience. Jingwen

I brought a group of 10 to stay at Higher Ground for Memorial weekend. We absolutely loved the cabin and had a great time! As others mentioned in their reviews, the small details really make the cabin feel like home and shows that David really cares about the guests that stay in his cabin. Everything is labeled, making figuring out light switches or finding things in the kitchen incredibly easy. There are instructions for things that may be hard to figure out (e.g., locking the back door is hard to figure out but there are instructions helpfully taped right above the handle) as well as a binder provided with lots of great information like how to work the hot tub, nearby restaurants and their menus, etc. There are lots of extra amenities provided like fun board games, movie classics, beach towels, beach chairs, tennis rackets, and lots more, which we loved. My group also LOVED the old-fashioned popcorn maker. Coordinating my stay with David was extremely easy and streamlined. David always responded to my questions within hours, which I was very impressed by. He is very friendly and easy to work with! Connie

David was great and responsive! Replies to any questions were usually answered within the same day and instructions provided were clear. The cabin was well located, about 10 minutes or less to Northstar and 5 minutes away from Safeway and the lake. It was perfect for our group of 9 and had extra beds to spare. It had everything we needed and more! The cabin was large enough for the group and it still feels very cozy. Definitely check out the huge hot tub in the back with forest as your backdrop. Kitchen was well stocked with every kind of pot/pan one would need to create a feast! I would definitely come back again and it was nothing but praises from everyone in my group. Highly recommended.

Higher Ground was the perfect cabin for a weekend trip to Tahoe. It is a short drive or walk to the beach, and it is just 10 min. drive from the Northstar Skiing Resort. The house had all the amenities you could want; from a Spa to beach towels, washer & dryer, board games, Netflix, ping pong, to a waffle iron. David provided us with all necessary details to a pleasnat stay and even pre-heated the house for our arrival. Andreas - February 2015

David was very friendly and made the experience hassle free. The House was great and was fully stocked with anything you might need. We especially enjoyed the hot tub and ping pong table. I would highly recommend the location to anyone. James - March 2015
