We had a wonderful time. The home was in a good location and very clean and comfortable. We could walk to a forest area with a trail to sled and snowshoe.

Great stay, absolutely loved it!

We spent four nights at the Muletail Lodge and had the best time. The house is just tucked away in the neighborhood to make it peaceful without lots of traffic, but still quick and easy to get to the main road around Tahoe. Coffee every morning on the deck was a great start to the day, and we finished a few nights off the back with wine and a great view of the trees. The management company was incredibly helpful, and we loved how informative the material in the home was. Our first time in Tahoe could not have gone better, and we will be back to this home with friends next time!

Smoky but nice

Enjoyed our six night stay at the Muletail Lodge and especially the visits from the neighborhood dog Blue. As there is no ac and couldn't open the windows because of smoke from the fires, didn't sleep well the first night. Called the management office the next day and they brought over a couple of extra fans. Fortunately, smoked disappeared for the next few days but did come back toward the end of our stay which was no fault of the owners. Property was clean but could use a bit of updating. The location was close to several beaches, activities and restaurants. Our group would recommend the property.

Great stay!
