A Golden Stay
We are two senior couples who needed a pet-friendly property. Golden Bear Pause fit our needs nicely, with 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, a fully fenced yard, and a quiet, well-situated location. The house was well-equipped and clean, with a few minor items that need updating. The management company responded quickly when we had some questions. We would stay here again.

Lovely home in the forest!
The house was immaculate and welcoming. The house was located very close to many beautiful forest trails which we visited twice a day. We found that every amenity was available from ceiling fans to complete kitchen and hot tub! The property manager checked in a few times and was very helpful. All in all a great place to call home. Very easy check in and check out too!

Comfortable and clean house for a family, friends, and dog
Our party of two couples, a toddler, and a dog all enjoyed our stay, and we would come again. Because of the extreme amount of snow and ice on the roof from all the big storms this year, there was a wet spot in the carpet near the wall in the kitchen, but the management company was very responsive and sent a maintenance person out to check. The fenced in backyard was great for easy sledding with our three year old, and our dog had a blast as well (there’s also a bigger neighborhood sledding hill behind the nearby fire station that we love). The furniture and beds were clean and comfortable, but it would be great if the owners could add another bedside table to the downstairs bedroom. We do like to cook, and I would say main thing keeping the house from being perfect is the quantity, quality, and condition of the pots and pans - most are beat up, with loose handles and lids that don’t fit. On the plus side, there is an instant pot and crockpot, as well as plenty of dishware, a coffeemaker, etc.

Great long weekend
We booked this place on the snowiest weekend of 23 Tahoe. The indoor gas fireplaces were so oozy as the snow fell. Plenty of room for the family to spread out and we loved having the hot tub. Would most definitely stay here again!

Summer trip
We were very disappointed in RnR vacation rental company. We arrived on Monday and went to use the hot tub. The lock to the hot tub broke and only 1 jet in the hot tub was working. I contacted RnR and to inform them about the lock and the hot tub issue. I was informed they would bring a new lock and look into the hot tub issue. Two days later I called again. I was informed someone would come out and look at the hot tub but they were very busy and they could not come out until Saturday. We also informed them the water was cloudy. Someone came Saturday and tried to repair the hot tub. No lock was provided at that time. Thankfully we didn’t have small children who could have accidentally climbed in and drowned. Our main reason for renting a home is the hot tub and location. It’s a perfect location but we were disappointed in RnR service. The house is well stocked and the master bedroom bed was perfect.

Perfect for lake wedding weekend
My husband and I stayed at this adorable property last weekend as we celebrated our wedding at a nearby hotel. The house was beautiful, cozy, clean and quiet. The location was great as it was only about 7 mins from the beaches. We will definitely be returning for future Tahoe getaways.

House is rundown. For the price, a lamp or two would be nice. Carpets were dirty — Stains on the sofa. Just found the house disappointing at best. Location is okay. The management company was very responsive & efficient.

Best Place Ever
We love staying in Tahoe and especially at Golden Bear Pause. It is always very neat and clean when we arrive so we leave it as good as possible when we leave too. The house is the perfect size for us. The backyard is fenced for our greyhound. It feels like coming home to us because we rent the same house every time. Couldn't be better!! Melissa Miller

Good floor plan
This house had a great floor plan for our family but it did have a few issues. It would be very difficult to park 2 cars in the garage. There's stuff jammed against the far side and front of the garage. My SUV barely fit lengthwise. The kitchen is over stocked in some things and under stocked in others. The dishwasher lower rack was broken. When I notified the manager she informed they had one on order. Since I had spoken with one of them on check-in it would have been nice to have been told up front. The management company was responsive when I did call. I feel the whole house needs a deep cleaning. The oven racks were quite dirty. They also should do a thorough inventory and organize. I personally will not return.

Great weekend stay in Tahoe
The house was advertised. Very clean and nice. Nice neighborhood close to everything you will need. The property management company was great to deal with. They had great communication and all aspects of the process was a breeze. If you're looking for a perfect home for your small family, look no further.

Perfect family getaway home
The house was exactly as listed and the location was great. It was very clean and a great spot for my family to meet up for vacation. It’s less than 10 minutes from the shops/restaurants/casinos but far enough back to be nice and quiet at night. The couch was big enough for all of us to hang out and watch a movie at night and the kitchen was equipped with everything needed if making a meal at home. Check in was a breeze with keypad entry which was nice we didn’t need to fuss with any keys. Definitely recommend this location!

Very cozy and clean in a nice location. We were clearing some recent snow and the shovel broke. Management quickly sent a new one. Max temp on the hot tub could have been a little hotter for my preference but it was functional and very relaxing.

Comfortable home, great location
Very nice property with my family of 4 adults and dog. The property has a great yard for dogs and we enjoyed the hot tub every day. The kitchen is well stocked with utensils and cookware. The location is very convenient to groceries, eateries, stateline activities, yet we still felt secluded at the home. We discovered a couple hiking trails in the neighborhood for our morning walks. Loved this home and location.

Comfy Home Away from Home
Booking, check-in and check-out were a breeze. The house has all the comforts of a modern home in a very quiet neighborhood tucked among trees. Minutes away from many of the places we wanted to go. Our family enjoyed the hot tub, ate meals in the open kitchen/dining area, and enjoyed a movie night by the fire. Would definitely stay here again when there is more snow to enjoy. I bet it would be fun to build a snowman and make snow angels in the backyard!
