Hosts provided great communication prior to, during, and after the stay. Little extras like ziplock bags and cooking oil helped us prepare meals in-house. The beds and couches were comfortable and the gas fireplace made it feel really cozy. We would definitely return to this house again. The Truckee area is beautiful and we enjoyed the Nordic trails at Tahoe-Donner nearby.

Thank you for your gracious review. We’re delighted to know that our communication supported a seamless experience from booking through departure, and that the thoughtful kitchen provisions added convenience to your time at the home. It’s wonderful to hear you found the furnishings inviting and the fireplace created the warm, cozy atmosphere we strive to provide. Truckee truly is a special place, and we’re so pleased you enjoyed exploring the nearby Nordic trails at Tahoe Donner. We would be honored to welcome you back for another memorable mountain stay whenever your travels bring you this way.

Great Family Stay for Palisades and Lake Tahoe

Excellent house for our family vacation (my husband and I, my parents, my brother and sister in law and toddler niece). Easy driving distance into Truckee, to Palisades Tahoe, and down to North Lake Tahoe. Hosts are very prepared and have excellent communication.

We enjoyed our stay at this inviting mountain home. The owners provided clear instructions and communicated well--not just about the house but also about community events that were happening during our time there. The kitchen was well stocked, the beds comfortable, and there were a variety of toys for our little ones to play with. We enjoyed the trail behind the house that borders a national forest.

Beautiful house in a quiet area, with thoughtful amenities throughout. We really enjoyed the Tahoe Donner area, and appreciated the ability to go to the clubhouse for dinner. It is within 30 minutes of Lake Tahoe, and served as our base for multiple trips there, as well as to Reno. Everything in the house was in good condition, and we appreciated having the garage to park in at night. Highly recommended!

Family friendly home with great snowplay area behind

The house is as described and it worked particularly well for us where we had two toddlers. The owners have made the house very young family friendly. Also there is an extensive forest area behind the house with gentle slopes so we were able to introduce the little ones to snow and tobogganing.
