We had a really great stay at this place in Schaffer’s Mill and would definitely come back. The layout worked super well for us. The house itself just feels good to be in. It’s modern and nicely designed, but still really comfortable and easy to relax in. The kitchen was a highlight—open, clean, and a great spot to hang out whether you’re cooking or just spending time together. Coffee bar was also a hit. Schaffer’s Mill is a quiet, really nice gated neighborhood, and you’re just a quick drive to Truckee and North Lake Tahoe. Made everything super convenient. Overall, awesome spot if you’re looking for a clean, well-designed place near Lake Tahoe. Would recommend it to anyone who’s wanting a quiet luxury spot. Would definitely visit again this year.

We had an awesome stay at this place in Schaffer’s Mill near Lake Tahoe. The house was even better than expected—super clean, beautifully designed, and just felt like home the moment we walked in. It’s a great setup, especially for groups or families. The four bedrooms were perfect, and the bunk room was a huge hit—especially if you have kids. Plenty of space for everyone to spread out and relax. The kitchen was one of our favorite parts—modern, spacious, and really well stocked. You can tell a lot of thought went into the design of the home. Everything felt high-end but still comfortable and livable. Location is also a big plus. Schaffer’s Mill is a really nice, quiet community, and you’re just a short drive to Truckee, North Lake Tahoe, hiking, restaurants, and skiing. Overall, this is one of the best Airbnb stays we’ve had in the Tahoe area. Would 100% stay here again and highly recommend it if you’re looking for a clean, modern, and comfortable place

The place was very clean and beautiful and in a nice gated community. It has enough bedrooms, with big attached bathrooms for all bedrooms. For kids had a separate room with 4 bunk beds.
