    The house is in a great location, lots of sleeping space, nice kitchen and appliances. Garage is a bit of a tight fit but lots of room in the driveway. Manager was very good at communicating.

    We had a wonderful stay at this awesome Truckee house. The kids had a great time playing in the snow in the backyard. The house was spacious. The kitchen well equipped and the hosts gracious and responsive. Would definitely recommend and would stay again.

    We stayed here over the holidays and enjoyed this comfortable and well-appointed home. We had a small hiccup getting the heat to work, and the owner Chris was very helpful and available and fixed it in a jiffy! Highly recommended.

    A brother, a cousin, and a nephew stayed here for a family reunion. Aside from an initial difficulty unlocking the door (the electronic key pad is dark until you press it, so they didn't realize it was there), they very much enjoyed their stay. The house has a nice feel to it,and the neighborhood is a beautiful mountain setting, that's convenient to shopping and to the highways.

    The property is very nice. Chris is extremely organized and communicated well with us throughout. The house is well-stocked and kept extremely clean. We'd rent with Chris again.

    We stayed here with friends and found it really well appointed. The back deck has lots of seating and is shaded so a great place for morning, afternoon and evening relaxing!

    Very good neighborhood. There was snow around here although it wasn’t in the lower places. Glacier way trailhead is only a few minutes drive away for snow play and hiking. Safeway is few minutes from the house as well. Hosts were responsive and accommodating. We felt very welcome. Thank you!

    Perfect place for us to stay with our family and 2 dogs. Close to Donner Lake to take the jet skis out. Hosts were excellent communicators and the house is spacious and very well equipped. We will be using this VRBO often in the future for winter and summer travel.
