Great Truckee Vacation
We stayed here for 4 nights for an end of summer getaway. The cabin was very clean, I was impressed! It was located on a quiet street in a nice area. The communication with the property mgmt team was amazing- they responded right away to everything. We had everything we needed, including the hot tub which was wonderful! The only comment I have is the mattress in the upstairs loft was a bit uncomfortable, but we still slept pretty well. We stayed at a different place last summer but we all agreed we would definitely rather stay at this one again!

A perfect mountain getaway!
From the moment we stepped in we knew this was the right cabin for us! The classic A-frame architecture yet modern furnishings made it perfectly comfortable for our family of 5 over Thanksgiving. All of the bedrooms are spacious and the beds were very comfortable and warm. The house had plenty of dishes, kitchen and cleaning supplies which was nice. I only wish they had a frying pan and a cookie sheet. We only have two complaints: 1) The morning/midday sun coming through the top living room windows is blinding! Some sort of shade option should be considered. 2) The oven kept turning off and on. AvantStay was great and sent out a handyman (on Thanksgiving day) however when he arrived the oven was working. It went out again and sadly our turkey never cooked. Luckily, the cabin is located in close proximity to town so we grabbed a few pre cooked turkey breasts for our Thanksgiving dinner. Besides the oven hiccup, the cabin is cozy, the property grounds are gorgeous, and our kids had a great time playing in the snow in the front yard and sledding out back. Our stay was very close to perfect. I’d highly recommend this location to anyone looking for a relaxing mountain getaway in scenic Truckee, and would definitely book with AvantStay again!

Be Bear Aware
Property was a good fit for the family. Nice neighborhood and easy access to everything. The only problem was the bear/trash container door was broken so we could not use. Notified avantstay when we got there and the last night we put a bag of trash in there and sure enough it was strewn in the street in the morning. I guess the bear knew it was not working correctly. Otherwise, all was good with our stay.
