I’m Murat Gocmen — licensed real estate agent in both Nevada and California, full-time Tahoe local, and founder of MG Vacation Rentals. My path here wasn’t traditional. I started as a software engineer, building systems that powered large-scale booking platforms. While those platforms were impressive in speed and automation, I noticed something missing: genuine connection. Guests became numbers, and local character faded away.
I started MG Vacation Rentals to bridge that gap — combining cutting-edge technology with personal, local service. We run things efficiently, but never at the expense of a warm welcome or quick, human response.
Local Expertise – I live and work in Tahoe year-round and know each neighborhood, season, and property nuance.
Full-Service Management – From professional staging and photography to hot tub care, snow plowing, and 24/7 guest support — it’s all in-house.
Proven Income Results – Our homeowners benefit from accurate revenue projections backed by real data from managing 40+ local properties.
Hands-On Care – We treat every home as if it were our own, and every guest as if they were family.
Our guests don’t just get a key to a house — they get local recommendations, a clean and ready home, and the peace of mind that someone nearby can handle anything that comes up. Whether it’s finding the best ski runs after a storm or recommending a quiet beach at sunset, we make sure your Tahoe stay is more than just a trip — it’s an experience.
Whether you’re a homeowner looking for dependable management or a guest ready to experience Tahoe, MG Vacation Rentals is built to deliver professional results with a personal touch.
Breathe easy — your Tahoe escape starts here.

EXCELLENT Based on 130 reviews Alexis Costa2025-07-11Trustindex 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! BeUnique Fitness Fitness with Farida2025-07-09Trustindex 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. Aileen Ayoub2025-07-07Trustindex 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!!!!

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 !! Alex N2025-07-02Trustindex 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! Henry2025-07-01Trustindex 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. Nicholas Haan2025-06-30Trustindex 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. lou ANN Davenport2025-06-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very responsive and great view of Lake Tahoe. Mary Tanagho Ross2025-06-19Trustindex 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! Pam Power2025-06-16Trustindex 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!!!
