Did you know that Tahoe has the most amazing Fall colors? 🍂

The weather is typically still warm and the crowds have gone away, its our most favorite time to visit

Who prefers Tahoe in the Fall vs the Summer?

Who says stairs arent " ?" 🤷‍♀️

After a week at the cabin, our baby girl made going up the stairs look easy. Going down? Well... we're still working on it 😁

Even our 🐕 learned out to use stairs at our home! She is also still working on the down though (stumble* slide* barrel down)

Recent ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ guest reviews!

It's so fulfilling to get a 5 star review. As a host, you put alot of energy into your home (and maybe even a little blood, sweat and tears with those DIY projects!) and it all pays off when a guest loves your home as much as you do.

Fellow hosts- do you continually check your email for reviews after a guest leaves just like I do? 🙋‍♀️🤞

Traveling to Tahoe with kids this summer? Check out our favorite park,

We discovered this local park early on in covid last year and have made it a regular stop with every trip. Its not in a major tourist spot so it is SO MUCH LESS CROWDED!

It has separate a playground for the littles, a huge open field to run around on and the views? Well thet arent too shabby either (SWIPE!)

Located in Stateline off Kingsbury Grade

Who wants to watch the sunset from our hot tub? 🙋‍♀️🌅

We knew having a hot tub at our rental was a no brainer. Guests continually tell us how much they enjoy it after a day on the slopes or an outdoor adventure.

BYO 🍻 or 🍷to make it even better!

My father in law captured a beautiful aerial shot of .

I love how our green roof blends in so perfectly with the towering pine trees. Our home truly is "woodsy" even though we are still in the heart of the town.

And look how beautiful and SO CLOSE the lake is!! When we say walkable, we mean it

A 🐻 & a coyote all outside our house in the same day! Yes, this bear was just strolling around, 1 block away (and sadly, headed for a very busy street).
And the coyote (pic 3) actually ran from the side of our house, just past us on the driveway and down the street.

Looks like winter is officially over and spring has sprung in tahoe!

BEFORE & AFTER exterior paint....
Our "cozy cabin" wasn't so cute when we first bought it in Jan 2016. But I could see the potential! Ever since then we have been making upgrades, big & small.

Which do you like better- dated & faded OR so fresh & so green green? 🌲

Follow along as we share some of those upgrades we have made along the way.

Website with more pics of the entire home in bio.

AFTER & BEFORE, Part II

A couple more decor transformations for your weekend pleasure! Would you have rented it based on the BEFORE pics? 😱🙈🤔 um, no thank you

Once again these are more like "middle" vs "after" as more decor updates are already in the works! Sneak peaks to come soon 🥰

Family room decor make over! AFTER & BEFORE...

I had to do the AFTER picture first bc the BEFORE is Just. So. Bad. Do you see that oversized, lime green lamp?! And those rugs?! 🤯

Updating the decor and furniture was our 1st priority before we starting renting out the home (plus a fresh coat of paint!).

New sectional couch & rustic bench provided some much improved seating. Pairing them with some Lake Tahoe photography & decor on the wall made this room guest ready. We also moved the TV to a much more logical spot in the room.

I should actually call this the MIDDLE instead of AFTER as there are still more things we have planned for this room 🤔😁
