The place was great. Well-appointed and a FANTASTIC location. Light sleepers might struggle with the train but the host thoughtfully left earplugs for guests. Would stay here again.

Knowing the home and location worked well for your stay—and that small details like earplugs made a difference—is truly rewarding for our team. - Your Tahoe Signature Properties Team
This home was very close to the downtown area (3 blocks), which allowed my wife and dog to easily walk over when they wanted. The heater works so well we had to take off blankets and turn the temperature way down at night. The kitchen is adequately stocked and some previous tenants left some spices. The check-in and checkout was easy and the condo was modern and clean. We'd stay here again!

The home had everything my boyfriend and I needed for our three night stay. It was walking distance to lots of restaurants and shops in Truckee and about 20 minutes to Palisades where we loved the skiing. The place was cozy and warm and great communication with the property managers.

We absolutely loved this house, it's history, the location, and how welcoming this boat was. The ability to explore Tahoe, walk to an incredible kids playground, be a block for downtown, and have an enclosed outdoor space was perfect. The host was responsive and very helpful.

Excellent nice multi-bed/bathroom town home with immediate access to everything in Truckee downtown.
What a wonderful time! The property was very easy to find. It was so clean - even the pillows inside the pillow cases smelled clean - none of that smell of repeated use. The house was exactly as described - an old little cottage type home converted into a sheik little rental. It was adorable. It was warm and cozy. The fenced in yard was great for our little dog and the kids to explore. They left little gifts around for the renter and a coupon - we WILL be booking again. I guess it’s Tahoe Signature Properties. They were communicative, welcoming, and responsive. You had the privacy of a rental with a full kitchen and all the cleanliness and detail of a hotel right down to having someone on call to help you if needed. It’s also amazing that’s it’s right down the street from the center of town. We will be back for sure and will also be keeping our eye out for other properties rented via this company. Happy Mother’s Day indeed! Thank you!

Cannot oversell how great the location was... some places "in Truckee" are not really walkable, or easily walkable. This was great to just pop over to a meal or shop. The place was clean and quite a comfortable bed... at least the one we slept in!
