A home for loved ones
The Bay Area couple knew they wanted a second home that felt like it was “totally their own.”“When we went up to Lake Tahoe, we’d always look at homes for sale,” Linda said. She and Craig regularly stayed at vacation rentals but were interested in something more permanent and reliable. “We like to invite other people. During one of the last times we rented, we chose a bigger home so that we could have our son, his wife and our younger daughter with us.” A second home they could enjoy with loved ones was a priority, and their Pacaso meets that need perfectly. “With Pacaso, we know where we’re going to go,” Linda said. “We know the home is high quality, we know we’re going to enjoy being there and we know it has enough room. I love knowing that we’ll always have the space to invite others.”They were initially uncertain about whether they would be able to schedule time to use their home when they wanted it. However, they soon learned that they could book stays at their Pacaso during important times — even ski season, their favorite time to visit.
Beyond their expectations
In addition to being in their favorite destination, co-ownership enabled Linda and Craig to choose a beautiful, spacious home without having to compromise. “We were just reminded that this was way better than what we could have done ourselves,” said Craig. “This home is grand ... I like that the Pacaso team takes a lot of the work out of it.”Like every Pacaso, Linda and Craig’s second home is fully furnished with amenities, decor and accessories. Recalling their first stay, Linda said, “It exceeded our expectations. It was just like I remembered, but then there were also little extra things.” She added, “We invited another family up with us, and I was so happy getting to putz around the kitchen and cook something for everyone.”In addition, the Pacaso has two of the couple’s non-negotiables: a hot tub and plenty of space for their dog, Fern.
