Lake Tahoe is special. Having your entire family together during the holidays is even more special and this residence is the right answer. The location, home amenities, layout, perfect "degree of separation" for the bedrooms, and neighbors are all awesome. The hot tub was the perfect respite after skiing and sledding with the grandkids!
A couple of weather-related tips: (1) Bring a kit with you with lanterns, flashlights, candles, and power sticks. If/when the power goes out, you'll be more prepared than others (PS: Thanks for having the BBQ ready with a full propane tank!); (2) During the winter, thank the snow removal service with a smile and a 6-pack. You'll reap the rewards, not to mention he's a very personable guy!
