Great stay at the Truckee "Chalet"
We really enjoyed our stay at this cabin. We had a golf trip with some friends for a couple of days. Very clean, well appointed cabin, with easy access in and out. Very short drive to several of our favorite courses. The host's communication was exemplary and very accommodating. The access to an EV charger was a plus to charge the electric vehicle one of our guests drove up. Would absolutely stay here again.

Lovely cabin!
Just as in the pictures, this is a charming and cozy cabin. We had two adults with two kids plus another friend who came by to hang out and it was the perfect size. Great updates to the kitchen and bedrooms, new bathroom plus the final upstairs bathroom update appears on the way. Good Apple TV set up, clean, organized decor and all the kitchen things one needs. Feels very lived in and cared for, not like a neglected old rental.
The only suggestions were to maybe add an exhaust in the kitchen (we cooked bacon day 1 and it smelled like bacon for a while!) The ceiling fan wasn’t working so maybe that is the exhaust option? That was it! Lovely cabin and we would absolutely stay again - I can see why it would be a great ski lease!!!
