The condo is spacious and comfortable and we had a nice stay. We were snowed in during a huge storm and found everything we needed to cook, play games, drink wine etc! The extra pantry items for baking were nice! We had stayed in this neighborhood before and really enjoyed the hot tubs after skiing so we were sad to see that the tubs are being fully repaired and out of order but the sauna was nice. The only real issue we had was that the heat seems to be controlled by Vacasa or on a controlled setting and every evening and morning the heat went to 63 even if we put it at 69 so we were cold. Thankfully the fireplace helped us to warm up. We would stay again and hope to come back when we can ski more than one day without being in a huge blizzard.
Overall a very good stay. It's a lovely condo, with good bedrooms and showers/bathrooms. It's centrally located with easy access to Truckee and Tahoe City/Northstar. The jacuzzi wasn't clean which was unfortunate, but other than that everything worked well and was clean.

Stay in Truckee
Wonderful place not far away from the slopes and some nearby stores!
This is a very nice condo. The kitchen had everything we needed. The beds are comfortable as is the living area. It’s an upstairs unit. We appreciated that we could park our vehicle in the garage during winter. We definitely recommend staying here. The complex is quiet and nice. The hot tub and gym is very nice also.
The condo was nice. Very clean, comfortable, well equipped. Our only complaint was the hot tub - the water looked very dirty, none of the three of use wanted to get in it! The sauna was nice though, and great for after the skiing. The access code to get into the condo is too long - we almost got locked out because we couldn't memorize a 10-digit code! Luckily we had a cell phone to look it up. The toilet needs a plumber's love - it rocks around and runs all night.

Hi, Eric, thank you for your review. We appreciate you taking the time to provide us with your valuable feedback. We appreciate our guests' feedback as a means to improve and will consider this feedback to make necessary upgrades. We hope to host you again soon!
We rented this small condo for a weekend getaway for the family and it served its purpose quite well. Well located off 89, close to Truckee with accessibility to both Olympic Valley and Northstar. The carpets seemed quite stained, but other than that, the place was clean. The grill was quite small and nearly out of propane (and was in the garage rather than the deck) but we managed to get our food cooked. Overall, we enjoyed the place and found it was exactly what we needed for an evening refuge after playing in the mountains all day!
Great unit and location, but Vacasa (property mgmt) was very disappointing.
The unit is located right off Hwy 89 near Hwy 80. It was perfect for us because we were attending a show in Reno and visiting with family who live in Truckee. The unit was convenient and comfortable, with easy access to Reno, Tahoe City, and Truckee. It was very quiet outside the hours of the roof project, which Vacasa failed to notify us of. Nearby is the Truckee Crossroads Shopping Ctr with SaveMart, CVS, and a smattering of small businesses. I booked the unit on 8/3/24 for 9/12 -14/24. On Sep 9, I looked at VRBO to see if the unit was vacant the night before our arrival. It was, so I requested an early check-in at 1:00 p.m. I was told it would depend on the housekeeping team's ability to finish cleaning the unit. WHAT? The unit was not occupied the night before our arrival. We found a construction company working on the roof and siding when we arrived. Their equipment was scattered all over the building's driveway. They kindly moved everything when we told them we needed to park in the driveway. We found a flyer taped to the front door announcing the work schedule would be from 9/3 -13/24. We had to close all the shades for privacy because the workers were on ladders outside. The following morning, while we were relaxing in bed, one of the workers knocked on the door and asked if we would move our car. We then had to listen to hammering and banging all morning. I emailed Vacasa and complained, but their response was weak, with no additional follow-up.

Jody, thank you for your review, we sincerely apologize for the issues you experienced during your time with us.
We are so sorry for the disruption caused by the construction. Currently, there is still ongoing construction at the property which is being performed by the HOA. Thank you for understanding and we apologize that this was not made clear to you at the time of booking. We hope to have the opportunity to host you in the future for a much more enjoyable stay.

Private and Comfortable
Very comfortable, well stocked, 2nd floor (18 steps to front door) condo. Private deck with view of woods. Kitchen is well stocked with staples. Well maintained and very clean with the exception of carpets which were in need of cleaning. No A/C which could be a problem for some in Summer, and it was unusually warm during our stay, but Truckee cools off at night so we were OK. The availability of a couple of small portable room fans for bedrooms (or bring your own) would make the infrequent heat a non-issue. There is train noise as other reviewers mentioned, but closing windows when weather is cooler (and the hum of portable room fans) should help. Location is good within easy walking distance to supermarket, CVS, Starbucks, a few local restaurants and a neighborhood brewery. Nice, fairly new neighborhood. Price paid was quite reasonable compared to nearby hotels and comparable properties. We would enjoy staying here again.
Pros:
- Nice place that worked well for our group
- Bus stop to the Palisades picks up ~4 min walk away
- Hot tub just a couple min walk from the property
- Access to garage and sleds
Cons:
- Sent two messages to property manager (it's a management group not the actual condo owner) and didn't get responses on either - there wasn't a way to message them through a text or the emails that Vacasa sent either, just a phone number
- WiFi was spotty - wouldn't recommend working from here if you have to take video meetings

March 2022 Stay
Clean and comfortable! Brought sanitizing wipes to wipe down surfaces, door knobs, sink fixtures, toilets, light switches, etc - white wipes stayed white! Condo was not dusty. Kitchen fully stocked with cooking and eating utensils, plates, pots, pans, strainer, cutting board, etc. Frig was spotless, as were the microwave, stove top and oven. Didn't use the dishwasher, looked clean. Washer and dryer worked and came in handy. Lots of extra towels, linens, blankets in the closets along with board games and dvds.
Location is safe and quiet, in walking distance to McD's, Village Pizza (very yummy), Save Mart plaza. 8 min drive to Donner Lake Kitchen (superb food and service) and Donner Lake. 12 min drive to North Star. 18 min drive to Kings Beach. Near train tracks but the train sounds were quite faint and did not wake us up. We didn't get to use the pool and hot tub as they were closed, maybe next time. There was no bbq gas grill on the patio which was mentioned by another review - no biggie. Wifi was fast enough to do some unexpected work, thank goodness.
Would definitely book again with Vacasa, especially this condo.

Thank you for your review, James, we are happy to hear you overall had an enjoyable stay. Please know that we do keep the grill in the garage during the winter months to prevent damage. We apologize for the inconvenience and hope you have the chance to host you again!
Rented this place for a week. It was very comfortable. Close to downtown Truckee, good restaurants, and skiing. Nice private view. We had a few small issues checking in but they were resolved right away and the communication was stellar. I will stay here again.

A great condo!
This condo was comfortable and charming! The location was great, in a cute little neighborhood and within an easy distance to everything Truckee and Tahoe City have to offer. The single floor layout was cozy and safe for kids. I wish I could do 4.5 stars, as I only wouldn't give it all 5 due to the broken washing machine (which I wasn't made aware of and tried to do a load but ended up with a mess), the hot tub was out of order which was a bummer, and just a few small kitchen items for cooking seemed to be missing. Other than those tiny things, the beds and furniture were comfortable and the showers had great pressure. I would recommend it to a friend and absolutely stay here again!

Mostly great place
This condo was clean, comfortable, spacious and well-equipped. There are 2 downsides worth mentioning-the condo does not have air-conditioning. This won't be an issue for most of the year, but when we stayed in late July it was uncomfortably hot in the condo (above 83 degrees Fahrenheit inside). Second, the management company is national, not local. most of the time this won't be an issue, but when something goes wrong (in our case the washer/dryer weren't working)they seem to lack the ability/knowledge to quickly address issues.

Hi Frederick, We are pleased to hear you enjoyed your visit! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your valuable feedback with us. We're sorry for the misunderstanding surrounding your interaction with guest services. Please be assured that we are in contact with our local staff to address any in-home issues as needed. We passed your comments about the AC along to our local manager to review and we appreciate guest’s preferences as a means to continually improve. We look forward to hosting your next stay!
Definitely 5++. The photo shows a couch that looks old, but when we entered the condo, we were wildly delighted to find that the entire condo perhaps was recently fitted with high quality, matching furniture; artwork on walls is as delightful as the new furniture. The unit has NEST for temperature control, which functions smoothly. Kitchen is fully stocked with common ingredients and quality plates, silverware. Linings are soft.
The unit is 3 minutes walk away from grocery and restaurants, but quiet, with a large patio overlooking a trail. My daughter and I love this place, will definitely return!
