Fantastic home in the mountains
Our family of 5 had a great time at this mountain house. There was plenty of room, it was well appointed. The kitchen met all of our needs. We did get a little bit of snow and our rental car with all-wheel tires had a hard time getting out the steep driveway. 4x4 or snow tires are a necessity when the weather calls for even a dusting. .

2024 is the 3rd year we have rented this home for a September fall golf outing. Location, cleanliness and value along with a great kitchen and thoughtful, comfortable furnishings make our group repeat guests. We are already looking forward to next year. 5 stars, no hesitation.

Great place, Quiet Neighborhood
Great place with plenty of space and add’l game room and complete extra family area downstairs. There were only two of us this time, but would definitely book again if we have a big group. There was small glitch when checking in, the access code didn’t work, but Rebecca was extremely responsive and had an additional access area so we were able to get in and with an early check in. There also no paper towels or extra toilet paper but she had a cleaner there within an hour with more supplies. Thanks again for the stay!

Perfect Truckee Family Getaway!
We were so incredibly happy with this house! It had everything we needed and then some! We stayed during Thanksgiving week, so I was vey happy that the kitchen was well stocked with plenty of pots, pans and baking sheets. I loved the coffee bar, the open cabinets and plenty of counter space. The highlight of the house, especially for our teens, was the downstairs game room! They loved playing Pop A Shot basketball and my husband and I had some fierce competition on Ms PacMan. We enjoyed daily walks around the neighborhood and felt we were just a short drive from Truckee shopping and restaurants. I would def recommend this house for a family!

The surprise room on the basement was the big hit for our kids! The room had some arcade games! They had everything (except cooking oil) so we were able to cook a lot. It’s super close to Tahoe Donner. Thanks for making our trip extra fun!

So charming, I want to go back!
If we could go back to this house every time we went to Tahoe I would! It was so cute and cozy. So much room for several people. The management company was amazing, communicating anytime we needed something, and even reaching out ahead of time to tell us arrival information. We had everything we needed, and tons of room to do different activities. Loved it!

Excellent place to stay while visiting Truckee
Place was large and very usable. Great for entertaining and large parties. There were only 4 of us but would accommodate 8 people comfortably. The kitchen space was nice and open to the family room. The toughest part I could say about this property is that we had screen holes and since there is no A/C since it generally isn't needed in Truckee, we happened to be there during the hottest time of the year and left windows open at night. Bugs entered and left me with a frightened teenager (18 daughter). The other thing is the driveway is very steep so snow season could provide difficult parking issues but no issues for us in the summer. The best thing about the stay and the place was the attentiveness of Rebecca, our host. She was amazing and responsive. Not only responsive but she left a bottle of wine for us and checked in on us by calling to make sure all was going well. I am certain my screen issue will be handled because of how diligent she was in making sure we had everything we needed. Thanks for a great vacation, Chris

Very comfortable, but used perfumed detergent
We loved this place and would stay again, but those with allergy sensitivities should check with owner about detergents being used. My husband had trouble sleeping because of the fragrance in the bedding. Thank goodness he didn't have an asthma attack. The owner said she bought perfumed detergent by mistake (I don't know why she continued to use it), so you might want to check with her if you have issues with fragrances. That being said, the house was comfortable and clean. The living room had plenty of comfortable seating and a large TV. The refrigeration was spotless. The last vacation rental was stocked with all kinds of basic foods for cooking, but be aware that the only consumable here is coffee, so bring everything else you need. We were happy that the game room was made available, which was a bonus. We had a lot of fun with an arcade table (yay, Pacman!) and an arcade basketball. Our dog enjoyed the large open area behind the houses, and she was thrilled to find a patch of snow to play in.

Excellent cabin, if you don’t mind some stairs
Truly a gem. We really enjoyed this place even though the stairs were a bit exhausting and our poor baby took a tumble down the stairs while I went to find the baby gate :( Aside from that, this place had a fully stocked kitchen with nice stuff. Plenty of linens and towels. My only two qualms were the stairs and the one window in the master bedroom not having a window covering. Aside from that, truly a lovely place!
