Historic yet updated property a ross the river from downtown Truckee. Great location and the house was clean and modern on the inside. They don’t have AC during the summer but provide fans. Had a great 4 night stay for my wife’s birthday - walking distance to all the bars and restaurants- dog friendly too!

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!

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!
