"We had a great stay! Matt's place was big and comfy. The kitchen was perfect for making a large meal for our group. We were super close to Sierra at Tahoe so skiing was convenient. We would love to stay here again!"
"We all had a lovely time at Matt's chalet, and he was available for communication at every turn. Cozy vibes, heated bathroom floors, and close to skiing. Really enjoyed all the amenities such as coffee/espresso, fireplace, and clean sheets. Would definitely stay again and recommend to others!"
"This was the most gorgeous Airbnb I've ever stayed in— a true architectural wonder. And the kitchen was stocked with every tool you might need. I even learned what a danish dough whisk after finding one. Our host Matt was extremely helpful and responsive. Thanks so much!!"
