8/10
We had a great three-week stay at the Holland house. Skyland is quiet and secluded yet walking distance to the pier, the lakeshore path, as well as hiking trails up to Chris Crag or south to Blackwood Creek and Eagle Rock.
The cabin is older but comfortable with nice views out to the lake from the living room, two of the bedrooms and from the large deck. Beds were comfortable and the recently remodeled bathrooms had nice make-up mirrors and ample storage. The kitchen had everything you need for a sit down dinner for 8 or a deck party for 30: two coffee makers, a blender, coffee grinder, small mixer, plenty of bowls, gadgets and utensils, baking pans, cookie sheets, two stock pots, cast iron skillets, covered skillets and saucepans and a large gas grill. The washer and dryer were large capacity. The place was very clean but there were also some cleaning supplies, brooms and a good vacuum cleaner for our use.
We did not have our grandchildren with us, but we would have been comfortable letting them out on their own to play outside in the long driveway or back in the fenced backyard. This said, I did not see any highchairs, pack-n-plays, children’s books or games or extra towels for soggy kids or doggy paws.
We found the Holland house through VRBO, but we were happy to see that it was managed by Hauserman. In Tahoe City for almost 60 years, they truly know the West Shore and have several other rentals in Skyland; you could line up several for an extended family reunion!
