With the holidays coming up, San Francisco–based designer Noz Nozawa sought a Lake Tahoe rental for a New Year’s Eve getaway with some friends. But when she tried to book a few months out, “Everything left was dumpy, sad—and overpriced,” Nozawa says. Not eager to spend a weekend in those conditions, “I went to Zillow instead.”There, she found a neglected 1970s cabin that had been on the market for six months. “The bathrooms were horrifying, and the kitchen was the worst thing I’d ever seen, whic…
