Weekend Snowboarding/Ski Trip

Very clean, big and open concept, which was amazing. Kitchen supplies out dated, one of the burners does not work on the stove, the toaster was sparking/very hazardous, not safe. The beds are not comfortable.

Great stay! Large, clean, comfortable

We had a great stay at Joyce's rental and would stay there again. It was super clean and comfortable and looked exactly like the photos, so we knew what to expect. Check-in and checkout was easy.Yes, the furnishings and decor need updating, but we knew this going in and were fine with it. There were some things that bugged us a little but didn't affect our stay, I mention them only to make this a more useful review:-The stove is a very old electric and is a bit difficult to cook on-The toaster needs replacing, it burns one side and doesn't toast the other-All of the non-stick cookware needs replacing as it is chipped and scratched-There is a dearth of cooking utensils (only one single metal spatula for instance) and no sharp knives-Silverware, dishware and glassware is what looks like a random lifetime accumulation. Very few drinking glasses, no wine glasses, lots of branded giveaway mugsAgain - this did not affect our stay but it's something to keep in mind if that stuff is important to you.

Great Family Home

We rented this property to celebrate my husbands birthday and ski/snowboard at Northstar. The home fit our family of 6 perfectly and the living space was spacious and comfortable. The home is very clean and while the linens/towels/bedding/kitchen equipment/decorations are from my Mother’s generation everything was very well kept, clean, and functional. We enjoyed our stay and will happily re-book in the future.

This is a great location!

This property is very nice, clean, big enough for a large family. Location is only 7 minutes from downtown Truckee and easy to get to. The neighborhood is nice and gives the real "I'm in the Sierras" feeling, fresh air, nice inside and out! While the decor is a little dated, but didn't effect any of my wonderful time away for a friend's wedding.

DISAPPOINTING

Nice location. Disappointed in the FILTHY, broken down sofas in great room, even the particle board placed under cushions for support was broken. Garage was a real mess and dirty too. Weed wreaths & arrangements everywhere are laden with dust & would be best if removed completely. Needs a new coffee pot that automatically turns off when left . Kitchen has too much junk and needs to be sorted & organized. There were inaccessible burned out light bulbs in the high ceiling, so evening light was poor. We were left with 2 keys, but only 1 worked to open the front door. There was no garage door opener, which was very inconvenient.

Got what I paid for, barely

The housekeeper didn't do a very good job prior to our visit. Upstairs bath was NOT clean (soap scum, hair on counter and shower) Rules given to us after we paid were lengthy and obviously not followed by housekeeper, esp. laundry. Also better instruction on how to unlock the shed would have been useful, as not everyone is familiar with anti-bear sheds.
