This is such a great house that easily absorbed 9 adults! The kitchen is HUGE, perfect for a family get together and lots of cooking. Very comfortable weekend. We are already discussing renting the house for another family weekend!

6 adults and 2 kids ages 8 and 10, we had such a great time here. The cabin was cozy but still had plenty of room for everyone, and for games at the big table and meals all together. There was a record amount of snowpack this year so the hot tub did take one of our party about 90 minutes of work to clear the snow off the cover to make it usable, but it was well worth it. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would come back!

Could not ask for a better location and layout. Ideal house for a large family/families. Separate living areas for multiple entertainment. Wonderful large open kitchen. Bedrooms are simple but cozy with enough beds for 10 people to sleep comfortably.

Excellent house for a long weekend getaway with friends
I stayed here with a group of college friends over a long weekend. We had the greatest time. The great room in the house had space for everyone to relax, play cards, hang out on the deck and cook. This was one of the cleanest VRBO houses I have ever stayed in. The hot tub was a nice luxury after a long day of mountain biking. The town of Truckee was a quick 5 min. drive away and has some great spots for dinner. I would definitely stay here again.

This chalet is everything we could ever want! It was clean, new appliances, a lot of space, quick drive to Palisades Tahoe and overall lovely. The only "issue" would be the very icy driveway, but you can get used to that! We would 100% stay here again when we are back in town.

The home was newly remodeled and questions from property manager were answered promptly. No air conditioning but there was a large portable fan and bottom floor was very cool and comfortable. Upper floor had a ceiling fan and after it cooled down the decks were enjoyable.

Nicely renovated and cleaned up
Garage parking
Internet is stable
Bad
Wi-Fi is using WPA not WPA2/WPA3. Downstairs AP should probably use Ethernet backhaul and maybe not just randomly sit on the floor.
Flooring is uneven in random places
Main TV remote center button doesn't work, breaking pretty much everything. We just used a Chromecast anyways.
Freezer door is all messed up
Ice stuck at the bottom
Light switches are all unmapped, presumably connected to some random outlet not associated with where the lamps actually are
Beds are very soft / difficult to sleep on / are they even queens?
