I’m Murat Gocmen, founder of MG Vacation Rentals Tahoe and a full-time North Lake Tahoe local. For more than a decade, I have built and refined what is now a portfolio of 40+ vacation rental homes managed end-to-end from our Incline Village headquarters. We serve two communities every day: guests who come to Lake Tahoe for the kind of trip they will remember, and homeowners who trust us to manage their property the way they would manage it themselves.
My path to property management started in software engineering. I spent years building large-scale booking systems for global travel platforms. The technology was sophisticated, but it was missing something fundamental: the warmth that turns a transaction into a memory. MG Vacation Rentals Tahoe was built to close that gap. We pair the precision of modern hospitality technology with the kind of local, human service that only a small, owner-operated team can deliver.
Today, our team lives and works in Lake Tahoe year-round. When a guest needs help at 9 PM on a snowy Saturday, the person responding has driven those same roads that morning. When a homeowner asks about seasonal pricing, the answer comes from someone who watches local demand shift in real time, not from a spreadsheet two states away.
MG Vacation Rentals Tahoe operates as both a direct-booking vacation rental brand AND a full-service property management company for Lake Tahoe homeowners. The two sides of the business support each other. Our property management discipline ensures every home we list is genuinely guest-ready, and our guest-facing experience creates the demand and reviews that drive strong returns for the owners who trust us.
Booking a home with MG Vacation Rentals Tahoe is not the same as picking a property off a global platform. When you reserve with us, you reach a small team that personally knows the home, the neighborhood, and the area.
Whether you are planning a family retreat in Tahoe Vista, a ski week in Incline Village, a lakefront anniversary in Kings Beach, or a quiet getaway in Tahoma, our team makes sure the stay reflects the real Lake Tahoe.
Owning a vacation rental in Lake Tahoe is more rewarding when the operations work without you. Our property management service is designed for homeowners who want consistent revenue, properties that are cared for like our own, and a single point of contact who actually picks up the phone.
We serve property owners in Incline Village, Crystal Bay, Kings Beach, Tahoe Vista, Carnelian Bay, Tahoe City, Sunnyside, Tahoma, and Truckee.
To deliver professional vacation rental management and unforgettable Lake Tahoe stays with the precision of a modern hospitality company and the warmth of a small, locally-run business.
For homeowners, our promise is transparent communication, reliable operations, and an ownership experience that lets you enjoy your investment instead of managing it. For guests, our promise is a stay that reflects the real Lake Tahoe, curated by people who actually live here.

What Visitors Say About MG Vacation Rentals
EXCELLENT Based on 130 reviews Posted on Google 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 Google 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 Google 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 Google 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 Google 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 Google 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 Google 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 Google lou ANN DavenportTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very responsive and great view of Lake Tahoe.Posted on Google 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 Google 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!!!
