We enjoyed our time here; place is thoughtfully appointed with everything we needed. Thanks for everything! The kids didn't want to leave. Heed the warnings about the driveway - it snowed 8 inches while we were there and getting out was a bit adventurous.

Great place to stay

This is a great townhome with a cozy cabin feel that was perfect for our winter getaway. We have 3 kids under 9 and there was plenty of space, a functional kitchen where we were able to cook several meals, it was close to the rec center where we went sledding, as well as many ski resorts, and only 3.5 miles from historic downtown Truckee with lots of shops and restaurants. The hosts graciously stocked the place with everything to make our stay enjoyable and were very responsive. There was plenty of parking and a heated driveway which was extremely helpful with the foot of snow that dropped during our stay. Would highly recommend this property.

Wonderful getaway

Teri and Jim’s condo is perfect for a small family. We were impressed with the layout, new furnishings and cleanliness. It is set up with simplicity but with all the things you might need. The beds, bedding and towels are new and super comfy. The code key access was easy to use and convenient. It is apparent that a lot of love and care went into preparing the condo. We also appreciated the guest gift!

Fun winter break stay with two adults and two young children. From pre check-in to after, Terri was extremely responsive. There was a major storm in the area and she went out of her way to make sure we were safe. As for the home, it was very clean, well equipped and everything was labeled, which was especially nice. We will 100% be back. Thank you for everything.

Fabulous Truckee Condo

We stayed at this property with my partner and another couple for a ski weekend in Truckee and we were all impressed with how clean/spacious the property was and how thoughtful and helpful the hosts were. We stayed during a weekend of immense snowpack and were a bit concerned with the intense winter weather conditions. The property was well maintained, and we were able to safely access the driveway/entry ways. The space was very clean and fresh upon our arrival and figuring out the keypad lock system was a breeze. The hosts were very thoughtful and everything we needed was available to us. Particular highlights were the spacious/well-stocked kitchen and nice refrigerator, security bars for the sliding glass/bedroom windows, and lovely gas fireplace. We were also gifted with a lovely welcome basket by the hosts that included a delicious bottle of Pinot Noir. If this place is available, I would highly recommend booking it, you won't regret it!

Great weekend getaway!

My sister and I met in Tahoe for a few days of skiing. We wanted to be close to Truckee and Sugarbiwl and this was the perfect spot. The condo was beautiful; far brighter and well decorated than the photos conveyed. The original artwork and handcrafted notes throughout were a beautiful understated touch. The kitchen was fully stocked, appliances shiny and new, living room comfy and cozy and bedrooms inviting, with huge beds with layers of warm comforters and quality sheets. The garage was tiny but my Audi Q5 fit (just barely). This winter there was a deep layer of ice at the bottom of the driveway that made it tricky for my sister without all wheel or four wheel drive, so beware of this possibility. The hosts were 100% available to answer questions and assist when asked. We couldnt have had a better experience and would love to go back again and again!
