We had a fantastic stay! The home was exactly as described. It was clean, spacious, and really well-equipped. Everything was comfortable and welcoming, and communication was easy throughout. We’d absolutely stay here again!
6 / 10Average·Jul 2022
PROS: clean, roomy for small group, convenient location to downtown Truckee. CONS: front door could not be accessed (battery dead). Necessary assistance from management; finally entered via garage. Stairs to front door and stairs in garage to first floor are extremely steep and long. A significant consideration (and potentially dangerous) for elderly, handicapped, or small children. Transferring luggage from ground to first level takes an effort. And the reverse to leave property. Driveway is steep grade with no level parking, other than in garage. Very carefully able to drive (large) Acura MDX SUV through narrow opening. No instructions for TV!! Management sent assistance; individual also struggled; a trial and error process. Property appears much better in photos, especially bathrooms. Primary shower is quite small and dated. Bathrooms appear not upgraded at all or in recent years. Would have been nice if back patio had been cleaned and set up with chairs, table and umbrella. If Cons are not a factor, property is good for a large family or small group.
