10 / 10Outstanding·Mar 2025
Beautiful and comfortable home! Plenty of room for us, our two young adult children and daughter's boyfriend. We loved being able to bring our pup too! Easy location for great skiing and exploring downtown Truckee in a quiet neighborhood. Appreciated being able to park our cars in the garage and how responsive communication was. Would definitely want to stay again.
6 / 10Average·Feb 2020
This was a really nice house and the biggest perks was that the kids loved having three beds to sleep in in the loft. We were very happy to be able to bring our dog with us and the kitchen was nice and comfortable to cook in and we loved the big windows. The places where we felt it needed improvement was there’s not enough cups, there was no aluminum foil or plastic wrap nor any Tupperware. For us the smell of the fabric softener was overbearing we had to re-wash all the sheets and towels. The kitchen definitely needs updated kitchen tools and more cups that can easily be taken care of by a short trip to IKEA. Also there’s no cable but there is Roku I think that’s something that should be disclosed and we were really looking forward to using the outdoor deck which had a lot of snow on it and the barbecue was not usable. Aside from those things we had a really wonderful stay and we would rent this property again with hopes that those improvements were made. The top for my kids was that there was a playset in a zip line in the top for me was that there was a Jacuzzi tub in the master bathroom and wooden floors. Also to it seemed like the carpets could be cleaned Thank you for sharing your home with us we had an unbelievable vacation and overall we really love the house
