The living room area was not as cozy and inviting as in the advertised photos. Otherwise, the house was clean and comfortable.

Everything was set up well. We were snowed in but the place made it very comfortable
10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2025
We all had a great time in the cozy cabin in the woods. The back deck with the hot tub is a great place to have your morning coffee and relax. It is set back away from the street giving you a really remote feeling even though you are in the middle of a neighborhood. From this house, we walked to downtown Truckee along the Trout Creek Bike path-a 1.6 mile downhill paved bike trail-that was really nice. This home is perfect for a family with 2 children-highly recommend!
