Nice main bedroom, rest of the house was hard to keep warm. The stairs had not been shoveled in several days so there was a solid chunk of ice on every step that we had to deal with for them.

Great family getaway

We stayed at this property with my infant, toddler, and parents. We were very impressed with the location and amenities. We were stuck indoors for 2 days due to smoke, but the house is so bright and spacious that we didn't go stir crazy. We would stay here again.

Perfect weekend getaway

We really enjoyed our stay! The house location was perfect for our Truckee river rafting adventure. It was well stocked, clean, shower was great, and the bed was very comfortable. Having the extra fans around the house was a big plus since it was quite hot during our stay.

Unique and Cozy! Great location!

We loved our stay! Such a unique layout and feels so large on the inside. It's also in such a great area, we loved walking through the neighbor hood and we also visited the nearby Tahoe Donner Cross Country Ski Center, only a five minute drive away. We had everything we needed for our group of five. The property management was also very professional and made check in/out very easy. We'd love to stay here again.

Great place

Had an amazing time. This place DOES have air conditioning despite confusing messaged both in the home and on the VRBO page. The communication with Vacasa management in Truckee was fantastic. They went well out of their way to ensure our stay was comfortable. Only problem was spotty wifi throughout the trip, but we were exploring so much that we werent at the house that much for it to be an issue. Would stay here again!
