Cute as a button
The pictures are real. We loved it! This cozy cabin is walking distance to downtown Truckee, (if its not 8 degrees), and its easy to drive to. There's plenty of room for two adults and two kids. (Might be tight for four adults.) Great walking close by. Mitch, the host, is a joy to work with. Super easy! We'd stay here again in a heartbeat.

Cozy Cabin with Ideal Location
The cabin is very cozy and perfect for a small family. The location is ideal with walking access to central Truckee as well as walking trails along the Truckee River. The cabin is very well stocked and the bedding is very comfortable and our dog was very welcomed. Mitch was proactive in communication of pertinent details of the stay and very responsive when I reached out to hi with information and questions. We would definitely stay at this cabin on a future visit to Truckee.

Cute little cabin
My husband and I loved staying at this cabin. Wonderful location with walking distance to the shops and little restaurants/ coffee shops. Bed is super comfy. Very close to palisade so perfect for our ski weekend. We had such a lovely time.
The only negative was that the refrigerator was smelly so hopefully that can be fixed before the next guest.
All in all, it was wonderful and we hope to stay again!

Mitch has thought of everything. The property has everything you need and is walking distance to downtown Truckee and all it has to offer. Great walking trails for people and dogs are right outside your door. We are a family of 4 with a very big teenager and a dog . It worked out great.

Cute and cozy
While the house is small, it never felt cramped with 4 of us. It has been nicely designed, looks clean and modern, with a great shower. And, even though it snowed continuously for 2 days, the walkway was cleared of snow daily, or more.

Beautiful, cozy cabin near downtown Truckee
My partner and I stayed in this cabin for a writing retreat weekend, and brought our dog with us. The place is perfect for a cozy and comfortable stay in Truckee. It is right next to some open space by the river, and is also a ~5 minute walk to downtown. All of us really enjoyed our stay and will almost certainly be back!

Outstanding cabin and host
We had an Amazingly Wonderful stay at this cabin. It is super nice and very private. Fantastic backyard that has a really nice gas bonfire pit and looks out on the forest surrounded by gorgeous Aspen trees. We will make this one of our regular destinations in the future. Mitch is a really great guy and it was great to chat with him and work with him. Thank you very much! See you next time. Cheers, Brad & Julie
