    Perfect place to spend a cozy weekend celebrating my parents 50th wedding anniversary. The open concept was perfect to keep everyone together. The seating was comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked, and it was great to have a large bedroom with a full bathroom on the main floor. Easy check-in/out. Clean and exactly as we expected.

    This house is cute and cozy however it doesn’t have that upscale clean feeling that the photos show. Once you arrive you can tell that it is an older cabin that was renovated. Unfortunately you can also tell that the renovations done were done cheaply. There are noticeable issues where the owners did not complete the renovations to cut costs. Such as in the closets down stairs, there is still the old laminate flooring from the 70s. The upstairs bathtub/shower insert has some heavy ant issues. Everyday giant carpenter ants as well and a few spiders are coming through the seems of the shower insert. The beds are also extremely uncomfortable. The kitchen is also very disorganized. The cabinets are so full with so many random kitchen items that it’s hard to find the items that are needed. They also have close to a hundred large kitchen knives all in these random cabinets. I had to do a quick childproofing of the kitchen and move the knives up higher and out of reach of my toddler. Although we had a lovely time in Truckee, I likely will not be returning to this cabin. These are just a few small issues that the owners can change in order to make the home feel nicer for their guests.

    The house was perfect, we had a little issue with a key not working, but the management company took care of it right away. We enjoyed the quiet, super clean house and the kitchen was very well stocked. The towels are very nice (thank you).

    We had a delightful stay in this beautiful home. Great for a family with open floor plan for cooking, dining, movie watching/game playing. I wished I had known I could book directly through Tahoe Signature Properties.

    The only reason I gave 1-star rating is that I didn't have to communicate with property manager. There was no N/A choice. The stay was comfortable. We skied in Boreal, and it was very convenient. Also, the location is convenient to grocery stores and restaurants. The place was clean, well-stocked in terms of cooking utensils and other essential items. There are a few small broken items - towel rod near the sink in the 1st floor bath, but none of these were an irritant. Will definitely consider revisits.
