I’m Murat Gocmen, a licensed real estate agent in both Nevada and California, full-time Tahoe local, and founder of MG Vacation Rentals Tahoe — a North Lake Tahoe–based vacation-rental and property-management company.
My background began in software engineering, where I built large-scale booking systems for global travel platforms. Those systems were efficient, but they lacked the personal warmth that makes travel memorable. I created MG Vacation Rentals Tahoe to combine cutting-edge technology with genuine local service, so homeowners and guests alike experience both precision and human connection.
We manage homes with efficiency, but never at the expense of that personal Tahoe welcome. Our team lives here year-round, so when guests or homeowners need help, the response is real, local, and immediate.
Local Expertise – Living in Incline Village, I know each neighborhood, weather pattern, and seasonal demand trend across Tahoe City, Kings Beach, Carnelian Bay, and Tahoma.
Full-Service Management – From photography and marketing to hot-tub maintenance, snow removal, and 24/7 guest communication, everything is handled in-house by trained professionals.
Proven Performance – Our data-driven approach provides accurate revenue forecasting using insights from managing 40+ local properties across North Lake Tahoe.
Hands-On Care – Every home is treated as our own. We inspect, prepare, and present each property so owners can earn confidently while guests feel at home.
Guests don’t just receive keys to a house — they’re welcomed into a Tahoe experience curated by locals.
Each stay includes:
Personalized recommendations for trails, beaches, and dining
Professionally cleaned, fully stocked homes
Fast, human responses for any issue
Whether it’s a family retreat in Tahoe Vista or a ski week in Incline Village, every stay is built around comfort, trust, and genuine connection to the Tahoe lifestyle.

What Visitors Say About MG Vacation Rentals
EXCELLENT Based on 130 reviews Posted on Alexis CostaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We unfortunately had to cancel our Airbnb with Murat and were set to receive only a partial refund but he graciously fully refunded us and got back to us in such a timely manner. So nice to do business with him, would highly recommend!Posted on BeUnique Fitness Fitness with FaridaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was by far the best Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in. The home was equipped with absolutely everything you could possibly need, it felt like visiting my mom’s house, where every detail is thoughtfully taken care of. The space was spotless, beautifully organized, and filled with small touches that made it feel extra welcoming and comfortable. You can tell a lot of care and love went into setting up this place. I would 100% stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a truly stress-free and cozy stay.Posted on Aileen AyoubTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We spent the weekend at this amazing property. We fell in love with the spacious yet cozy home. The property owner’s attention to detail was evident. Our 8 year old and, surprisingly, our teenager were both sad to leave. Close to the beach and plenty of activities. We would love to visit again. Absolutely recommend!!!!Posted on Kishore MurariTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have rented Murat's home in Lake Tahoe. From the Get go, Murat's communication has been very professional, quick, informative and polite. I have requested for super early checkin and Murat graciously accepted my request. This truly saved sooo much time for our group of three families and made it soo much more wonderful trip to Lake Tahoe. I immensely appreciate Murat for this kind gesture which is very rare in this business. Thank you soo much Murat !!Posted on Alex NTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We headed up to Tahoe for a boys golf trip and this place did not disappoint! It was extremely easy to navigate to off the main road but still felt secluded up in the pines. I had no idea but what a great location too. Very walkable to a handful of places (casino/bars) or a very short drive to everything you need. Moon Dune Beach was close and felt private and whitecaps pizza spicy Hawaiian… we got it 3x! The place was quaint and felt like a true mountain cabin but with plenty of space for everyone with a great common area to relax and unwind. Multiple patio areas made it great to enjoy the great summer mountain weather. Mgs place had everything we needed and the bathrooms were super clean and fresh almost like staying in a hotel. Furthermore, the garage space came in clutch! You can easily fit two small cars in there and a great space to keep golf bags/beach stuff! All of this came at a pretty killer rate considering the location. Would def recommend!Posted on HenryTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wonderful home that is exactly how it is in person as the pictures show and summary sum it up. The host is very helpful and quick to respond. The house is super cozy and clean as can be. Hot tub is frequently kept up to par. Even the porch got washed. Highly recommend the host and home.Posted on Nicholas HaanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We would like to express our sincere gratitude for MG Vacation Rentals understanding and flexibility when we had to cancel our reservation. They were very personable, responsive, and generous in their response to our situation. We very much look forward to being able to stay with them in the future.Posted on lou ANN DavenportTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very responsive and great view of Lake Tahoe.Posted on Mary Tanagho RossTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our family had a spectacular time at this beautiful home in Incline Village! It was in a perfect location, in a peaceful neighborhood, moments to the best beaches in north Lake Tahoe. The host was incredibly helpful with any questions we had. The house was well equipped to cook and eat meals while overlooking the lake view. It was a 10/10 and we hope to be back to this home soon! Our kids loved it! Wholeheartedly recommend!Posted on Pam PowerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I spent a week at this property with my family last week & I have to say it was one of the best vacations ever! The house was amazing! The decor so cozy. Loved that each bedroom had its own en suite. The views were amazing. There’s a porch that you could sit out on day & night! It was very clean and had everything we needed! Kitchen was modern & the hot tub & sauna were an extra bonus, plenty of linens too! It’s so peaceful & perfect in every way. Hope to go back soon!!!
