David and Phyllis were very helpful in answering any and all questions we had regarding their cabin. We had an easy time figuring out where everything was in the cabin, as well as how to find the cabin and enter it. Regarding the cabin itself, the place is absolutely amazing. There's a large, cozy living room that's great for hanging out and playing board games. The kitchen is fully decked out with a coffee maker, gas-fired stove, dishwasher, and enough kitchenware to cook a feast. And it's about a 5 minute drive from the lakefront and about 10 minutes from Northstar. There's also a Safeway nearby for last-minute shopping. We will definitely be pinging this place again next time our group hits up Tahoe! --Sam Feb-16 ------------------------------------------------------------------- The house was great, the description accurate, and the location was ideal! Thank you David & Phyllis for letting us stay in your home, it was the perfect weekend! Zipporah Feb-16 ------------------------------------------------------------------- It was a great vacation house for a large party with kids. Many comforts of home and extras to make it a vacation including ping pong, popcorn maker,sleds. Very easy to get to, find, park. We all had a cozy, comfortable stay and would love to come back again. Jamie Jan-16 ------------------------------------------------------------------- The place had amazing amenities and was located in a prime location. Our family enjoyed the ping pong table, the foozeball table, and the large hot tub. There was an assortment of board games and we had access to Dave's Netflix. The cabin is about 10 minutes away from Northstar, so it's easy to ride the whole day and relax in the hot tub once you leave the mountain. There was a slight scheduling issue where the cleaning lady was unable to make it in time for our check-in. David refunded a portion of our fee to make up for something that was out of his hands. I appreciate that kind of service. He made sure we were taken care of given the situation. Tony Jan-16 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Their cabin was perfect-very cozy! The cabin is in a great location and the owners were very organized. Instructions were provided throughout the house and all the extra amenities were well thought out. Our stay couldn't have gone any smoother. I would definitely come back again! :) Monica Jan-16 ------------------------------------------------------------------- David was very prompt with replying to our questions and queries. His place is wonderful. Ideal for a large family or 2 small families. Kitchen is fully equipped. Overall we had a lovely experience staying here. Pratibha Dec-15 ------------------------------------------------------------------- The cabin was clean, good location to ski resorts & groceries, close to the Nevada border, well stocked & furnished, and easy to operate with a detailed instruction manual. David & Phyllis are welcoming and accessible. I would recommend their property for large families (7+) looking to vacation in North Tahoe. Jeff Dec-15 ------------------------------------------------------------------- We had the most incredible Friendsgiving at Higher Ground!! The house is beautiful, cosy and so well located (5 minute drive from Kings Beach) and it has literally everything you could ever wish for - ping pong, table football, a popcorn machine, huge film collection, hot tub (complete with heated mats so our feet didn't freeze when we got out!) and we were so impressed with the kind details David & Phyllis had thought of such as welcoming us with a basket of hot chocolate and popcorn kernels. We cooked a huge Thanksgiving meal for 9 and the kitchen had every kind of utensil and dish and pot that we needed! The beds were comfortable and the house was super cosy and warm - there was even a Christmas tree. Thank you so much David & Phyllis - we so hope to return soon!! Gemma Dec-15 ------------------------------------------------------------------- We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful cabin. This cabin was stocked with every thing needed, except for groceries we didn't need to buy anything. All the beds were very comfortable. I wish we spent more time at the cabin. Working with David for booking was super easy. Will definitely try to re-book if I am heading back to Tahoe with a group. Shashidhar Sep-15 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Everything was exactly as described. Perfect for our group and we will definitely be looking to go back. Kenny Sep-15 ------------------------------------------------------------------ What a nice place! My fiance and I booked this place to celebrate my birthday with family and friends, and it did not disappoint. The house is spacious, clean, and has all the amenities you need (plus some you didn't even realize you need) to have a great weekend in Tahoe. Hot tub, grill, ping pong table, ice maker, coolers, movies, you name it - this place has it all! David is a great host, and is easy to get into contact with should you have any questions during your stay. I highly recommend this place, and would love to return with my group again. Thanks David and Phyllis, you helped make this birthday a memorable one! Stan Aug-15 ------------------------------------------------------------------ David and Phyllis were great hosts, very responsive as we were coming into town to get us access to Higher Ground. Once we got into the home, everything was clean, well labeled and organized. Higher Ground is a great place for a family vacation. The listing description is accurate, and it is in a great neighborhood if you want to head down to the beach, or if you prefer a walk through the woods, and want to see some of the local wildlife. I wish we would have had another day to spend there. David and Phyllis have even set up the cabin with Netflix access for their guests. We brought a Roku stick, as we did not know this, but we didn't even have to break it out when we wanted to relax in front of the tube at the end of the day. New Aug-15 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Wow....amazing cabin, simple as that. The house was clean on arrival with a HUGE hot tub and lots of things to do like ping pong, Foosball, old school Disney movies, great BBQ smoker, and board games for days. Our favorites were the giant size deck of cards and jumbo checkers. There was plenty of frig space for food and drinks. This place even had it's own ice maker, perfect for filling up the cooler when heading to the beach. Very close to Kings Beach (best beach in my opinion, they play live music and serve beer) as well as Incline Village and Tahoe City. Fantastic place, would definitely recommend and stay here again. Sarah Aug-15 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Great location and the house had so many great amenities! We had so much fun between the hot tub, foosball table, ping pong table and more. It was the perfect spot to celebrate my husband's birthday party with friends. Caitlin July-15 ------------------------------------------------------------------- It was almost like the host knew exactly what our group would need the entire time we were there. The home had everything we needed and more, I'v literally never have felt so taken care of. I have stayed at many hotels and Higher Ground is now my favorite place to stay! The location, the neighborhood, and the layout of the home was perfect. Highly recommended! Nick July-15 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you David for your ultimate lodging and we had the great time with our first family trip. We love your house that is right in front of the national park and we took a hike right from the backyard to the forest that was a great experience as well. Your house is full equipped with what we need and very clean. Once again thank you for having us and hope you all enjoy your stay with David and Phyllis. Stephanie Jun-15 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you David for your ultimate lodging and we had the great time with our first family trip. We love your house that is right in front of the national park and we took a hike right from the backyard to the forest that was a great experience as well. Your house is full equipped with what we need and very clean. Once again thank you for having us and hope you all enjoy your stay with David and Phyllis. Vanessa May-15 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Great property. Would stay here again. Great location and beautiful backyard. Felt very welcome. Tyler Mar-15 ------------------------------------------------------------------- David and Phyllis were absolutely incredible hosts! From the upkeep of the house, to the amenities, down to providing the small items you rarely get from an Airbnb, it was a pleasure to stay there. Highly recommend this spot to anyone! Jason Mar-15 ------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 Mar-15 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Great place to stay. House is beautiful and the outdoor area is ideal. Would stay here again for my next trip to Tahoe. – Matt ------------------------------------------------------------------- This place is great for a family vacation or a get away for a group of friends. The cabin has everything you need and was impeccably clean. Looking forward to going back in the future. – Joshua ------------------------------------------------------------------- Awesome place, just like the pictures. Very clean and no surprises on arrival. Owners were easy to reach and made sure I was properly informed. Had a great weekend with the family and would book again! – Jonathan ------------------------------------------------------------------- Great communication during the booking process and during our stay. The house has everything you need, it is very clean and looks just like the photos. I would highly recommend Higher Ground and look forward to returning! – Erica ------------------------------------------------------------------- David was a great host! We communicated mostly through email, and he was extremely prompt in replying to our questions. The cabin is cozy, warm, and gorgeous. It accomodated everyone in our group of 9 comfortably. It's also in a great Tahoe location a few miles from NorthStar. I'm very particular of cleanliness, and it was exceptionally clean and well kept. The host also left personal touches for us like coffee, hot cocoa, and popcorn. My only complaint is that the hot tub was not available during our stay, but I'm aware that a repair man was called, so this shouldn't be an issue for future guests. I highly recommend Higher Ground and look forward to staying again! – Peining ------------------------------------------------------------------ We have really a wonderful time staying in the nice house for our Thanks giving. The house is like the home, it has nearly everything you want. And the house position is good, it is closed to the North Star, and closed to the lake Tahoe. Thanks for letting us have such unforgettable memory there. We will still want to choose the house when we have a group of people to Tahoe. Highly recommended!!! – Zhou ------------------------------------------------------------------- We didn't get a chance to use the jacquzzi but that was a nice amenity to have. So many great amenities! Will definitely be coming back! – Christina ------------------------------------------------------------------- We came here over Christmas and it was just great. We stayed two nights and had 5 adults. It was just perfect because each couple got their own bathroom and there was plenty of space. I think even with 10 or more people you would be completely comfortable here. beautiful scenery and great mountain air. It's a great retreat from the city and a great place to stay if you are planning on doing any snow activities at NorthStar, which we did. The home itself is very well labeled and organized as far as what goes where and where to find extra items. There is a game room/garage that we loved to play ping pong. There and board games galore in the living room. We didn't get a chance to use the jacquzzi but that was a nice amenity to have. So many great amenities! Will definitely be coming back! – Christina ------------------------------------------------------------------- 5 stars for the house, amenities & location. The property was easy to find and spacious for our group of 11. However, I have to lower the overall experience to 3 stars because the owner was deceitful. The house was not serviced before we arrived so I left a message to inform the owner. He called about an hour later to let me know there was miscommunication with the cleaners, and offered to cover our dinner for the inconvenience. Not sure if the cleaners were at fault or if the owner failed to notify his cleaners that he had guests that weekend. When I got back to the house after grocery shopping, I confirmed that the cleaners were indeed there and asked to have the cleaning fee waved instead of dinner. The owner verbally agreed and we left it at that. When I followed-up with the owner after checking-out, he took his word back, and would not refund any amount because the cleaning was ultimately performed and could not be refunded because it was rolled into the nightly rate. Since we technically did not pay for cleaning, it could not be refunded. The owner should not be passing this burden onto his guests, but rather dispute this with the cleaning service. He did however let us check out 2 hours later so we could stay and watch the 49ers game, but then later used that as part of his argument to compensate for the house not being cleaned when we arrived. Lesson learned -- Get everything in writing (or record phone conversations), and file claims with airbnb within 24 hours of check-in. Airbnb graciously compensated us with a $100 credit. – Serena ------------------------------------------------------------------- I went there with a group of friends, and it was great! The location was good, right next to Northstar and not too far away from other mountains. The house was well-stocked with everything we would need for a weekend trip and we loved the ping pong table and foosball table. We would definitely stay there again! – Christie ------------------------------------------------------------------- Me and my friends had amazing time at Higher Ground in kings beach. Place felt like a home. Everything was clean and ready before we arrived. It looks just like the photos on the Airbnb. Location is great and it is close to most of the mountains. David was a great host! He explained everything through email and called me before arriving at the cabin for entry instruction. We really enjoyed the place,we wish we had more time to spend over there(URL HIDDEN)️ - Guga ------------------------------------------------------------------- Incredible place. Great for a group. Conveniently located and David is THE MAN! – Jake ------------------------------------------------------------------ This cabin was wonderful to stay at. It was clean and had a good offering of high-quality amenities. The hosts were very responsive which made us feel even more welcome. Highly recommended! Will ------------------------------------------------------------------- We stayed over February Ski Week with two families and the unit was clean, comfortable and perfect for entertaining adults 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 ------------------------------------------------------------------- David's response is always very quick, and responsible. The cabin is well maintained and has a few nice items such as boot wamer/pingpang table/fuseball table ... even popcorn machine! It was a nice and easy experience. – Jingwen ------------------------------------------------------------------- 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, awesome hot tub on a large back porch, and 2 large 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 switch does what. We were even able to take a nice hike into the National Forest from the backyard. I would definitely stay at Higher Ground again! – Chris ------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 imrpessed by. He is very friendly and easy to work with! I can't wait to come back to stay here again for my next Tahoe vacation! – Connie ------------------------------------------------------------------- Fantastic house for a weekend break with friends. Very comfortable and close to the lake. Would definitely come again. Thanks! – Hugh ------------------------------------------------------------------- Our stay at Higher Ground was amazing. The location was beautiful and quiet, and the house was comfortable and accommodating. Thanks to David & Phyllis for a great place! – Cody ------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 ------------------------------------------------------------------- We talked several times, and David always gave me the information I was after. A very friendly person. – Donald ------------------------------------------------------------------- Higher ground was an amazing cabin perfect for a large group of friends to get together for a holiday weekend! The home had great little touches and decorations that made us feel right at home. Will definitely try to stay there again! – Danielle ------------------------------------------------------------------- Spent a weekend with 10 friends and we all had a wonderful time. The home is in a great location, being a 10 minute drive to Northstar Ski resort. The place is stocked with everything you need and feels super homey. The owners try make it easy for you to enjoy your stay there and provide all the information you need. – Mike ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 found the residence very comfortable and spacious. There were also more amenities than we could use, such as a fussball table, ping pong, and hot tub. The 3 aspects of the rental that could have been improved are: 1. we didn't receive the lockbox code until the day we were leaving which is too late for us. If we didn't have a smart phone this could have been problematic. 2. the house is older, and air distribution uneven, so some rooms were too cold and others a bit warm. 3. the dishwasher was broken, and water had been sitting in the washer for a while because it smelled. When I emailed the owner to let them know, I did not receive any response. Not even a thank you or apology for the inconvenience. I found this a little rude, and expect more considering the cost of the rental. – Irving ------------------------------------------------------------------- Nice clean house in good location. We enjoyed our stay. Only let down was that the dishwasher only worked for one day and the hot-tub didn't want to get hotter than 92deg. Otherwise a nice house. Daniel ------------------------------------------------------------------- David and Phyllis were great! They responded in a timely manner and gave us all the info we needed in one go. There was a manual that answered any other questions we had regarding the cabin. The cabin is great! It's small and homey, yet spacious enough for 10 adults to feel like they have enough space. The hot tub with the heated pads outside was an added bonus! We love the addition of board games, books, and ping pong table. It added to a great bonding atmosphere. The kitchen is well stocked and great for cooking large meals. – Benjamin ------------------------------------------------------------------- Amazing cabin! Definitely felt like home, David was very welcoming and the house was really well prepared. Thanks for an amazing weekend! – Cindy ------------------------------------------------------------------- Our group and 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 neighborhood close to Northstar and kings beach. Thank you for renting to us! – Courtney ------------------------------------------------------------------- We had an amazing time! The house has the perfect location. Less than 10 minutes to Northstar. Also only a mile or two from from beach. House had all the amenities and extras you could want. It was very clean. Everything was nicely laid out. Beds were very comfortable with extra pillows and blankets available if needed. Shower had tons of hot water. There was 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 definitely stay there again. Side note: my husband and I arrived 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 ------------------------------------------------------------------- I had a fantastic weekend here with a group of friends during the winter season. The house is incredibly well-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 sports 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 ------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 10min 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 alll necessary details for a pleasant stay and even pre-heated the house for our arrival. – Andreas ------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. – Bobby ------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 ------------------------------------------------------------------- David and Phyllis were absolutely incredible hosts!

Highly recommend this spot to anyone! – Jason ------------------------------------------------------------------- Great property. Would stay here again. Great location and beautiful backyard. Felt very welcome. Tyler ------------------------------------------------------------------ Our stay at higher ground was wonderful! It was spacious enough for a group of 6 adults and 2 little children with room for more (kids). The house was beautiful, clean, and cozy, with lots of amenities and a a fantastic hot tub. The location is a short walk to kings beach (maybe a 20 min walk?) and was in a quiet neighborhood surrounded by trees. The king bed downstairs was like sleeping on a cushy marshmallow!!it was so comfy I literally checked the tag of the mattress to see the brand (for future purposes). Also, the host were extremely responsive and helpful even though they live out of state they went out of their way to make sure we had all the information we needed for our stay. It was a great trip and we didn't want to leave and talked about when we might be able to come back altogether! I would highly recommend this listing. Thank you David and Phyllis:-) – Vanessa ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you David for your ultimate lodging and we had the great time with our first family trip. We love your house that is right in front of the national park and we took a hike right from the backyard to the forest that was a great experience as well. Your house is full equipped with what we need and very clean.

Overall we had a lovely experience staying here. – Pratibha ------------------------------------------------------------------- Their cabin was perfect-very cozy! The cabin is in a great location and the owners were very organized. Instructions were provided throughout the house and all the extra amenities were well thought out. Our stay couldn't have gone any smoother. I would definitely come back again! :) Monica ------------------------------------------------------------------- The place had amazing amenities and was located in a prime location. Our family enjoyed the ping pong table, the foozeball table, and the large hot tub. There was an assortment of board games and we had access to Dave's Netflix. The cabin is about 10 minutes away from Northstar, so it's easy to ride the whole day and relax in the hot tub once you leave the mountain.

I appreciate that kind of service. He made sure we were taken care of given the situation. – Tony ------------------------------------------------------------------- It was a great vacation house for a large party with kids. Many comforts of home and extras to make it a vacation including ping pong, popcorn maker,sleds. Very easy to get to, find, park. We all had a cozy, comfortable stay and would love to come back again. – James ------------------------------------------------------------------- The house was great, the description accurate, and the location was ideal! Thank you David & Phyllis for letting us stay in your home, it was the perfect weekend! – Zipporah ------------------------------------------------------------------- David and Phyllis were very helpful in answering any and all questions we had regarding their cabin. We had an easy time figuring out where everything was in the cabin, as well as how to find the cabin and enter it. Regarding the cabin itself, the place is absolutely amazing. There's a large, cozy living room that's great for hanging out and playing board games. The kitchen is fully decked out with a coffee maker, gas-fired stove, dishwasher, and enough kitchenware to cook a feast. And it's about a 5 minute drive from the lakefront and about 10 minutes from Northstar. There's also a Safeway nearby for last-minute shopping. We will definitely be pinging this place again next time our group hits up Tahoe! --Sam ------------------------------------------------------------------- Loved this house! The description is totally accurate. It's like home away from home - the owners have thought of everything. There was literally nothing we needed that the house didn't have. The kitchen is fully stocked with all of the tools you might need for cooking, the house is stocked with extra linens, games, snow sleds, hot tub, and two washing machines among many other things. Oh and the kids LOVED the popcorn machine which they used several times. The rooms are very comfortable - downstairs room has a king bed, and upstairs there is one room with a queen and a twin, and another room with a queen and two bunk beds (sleeping 4 kids plus parents). The house is also about a 5-10 minute drive to Northstar, and under a 5 minute drive to the nearest grocery store. I would absolutely stay at this house again. Highly recommend. – Anne ------------------------------------------------------------------- This cabin was very warm, welcome and cozy. It had everything we needed. All beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked with equipment. It was perfect for our group of 10. We hope to stay again at Higher Ground. – Brittany ------------------------------------------------------------------ We loved the house and hopefully will able to come back next year. Thank You! – Julie ------------------------------------------------------------------- House was great! We played a lot of ping pong and foosball, and enjoyed the giant hot tub. – Curtis ------------------------------------------------------------------- My group and I had a really amazing time at Higher Ground. I had planned on arriving later than some of my friends and David gladly coordinated with me so that whomever arrived first had access to the house- turns out I was first after all but the fact that David went out of his way to accommodate our fluctuating arrivals was very helpful. The house itself couldn't have been more convenient and comfortable. Our group went to the beach one day and were pleasantly surprised to find beach chairs, a frisbee and some floaties all waiting for us in the garage. The beds were comfortable and clean, and the house is wonderfully positioned on a culdesack which makes it feel more private. All in all, it couldn't have been a better stay. Thanks again David! – James ------------------------------------------------------------------- Responds fast! Lovely home! It was everything I could ask for! – Jen ------------------------------------------------------------------- David was extremely helpful and communicated all the information well. The place is just as advertised (maybe even better) and was a good getaway spot for our group of friends. Peaceful backyard setting in a forest and nice hot tub! GC - Giancarlo ------------------------------------------------------------------- A group of 11 really enjoyed our stay at Higher Ground! David and Phyllis have put in a lot of touches to make this a great vacation home. The kitchen was fully equipped with all of the appliances and extras one might need. There's a ton of summer recreation equipment (ping pong table, tennis rackets, hot tub, grill, ice cream makers, etc). The air conditioning is also great! This cabin is a 30 min walk from Kings Beach and stores. – Christina ------------------------------------------------------------------- We spent a fabulous five night vacation at David and Phyllis's home. The awesome amenities are what made this rental so special. We've stayed at other Airbnb homes, but have never had such a well stocked kitchen, loads of linens, two washing machines and dryers, beach towels, patio chairs, toiletries, and even a hot tub. David answered our phone calls or texts right away, and was so helpful. You can't go wrong by staying at Higher Ground! It's has a great location, and is comfortable and spacious for a large group. Best of all, we were able to see a bear with 3 cubs, coyotes, blue jays, and many squirrels! – Gloria ----------------------------------------------------------------- David called me a day before and made sure everything is ok. Clearly comunicated how we get into the house, the wifi password and double-checked the most important rules. Our stay was super-smooth, everything worked as expected. I especially liked the small text hints all over the place, e.g. "to close this door, pull the handle up first" or "this light is for the patio". We also liked the hot tub, which had different jets at each seat so you can get a reasonable massage after a though day. The only problem were missing sponges for dish washing, but as the shop is super-close, we just got some. Thanks David & Phylis, Would stay again! – Peter ------------------------------------------------------------------ We really enjoyed our stay at David and Phyllis' home in Kings Beach. The house was fantastic with great amenities, including a large hot tub. We found our stay here to be very relaxing, and really appreciated the fact that everything was helpfully labeled to make it all easy to use. It was the perfect base for a stay in the Lake Tahoe area. – Matthew
