"Our group of 10, consisting of two families of five, had an incredible stay at this home. It was remarkably spacious with multiple living areas, which gave us plenty of room to spread out, watch movies, and catch the Olympics together. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the pots, plates, and utensils we needed for big family meals, and the beds were perfect and very comfortable for everyone.
The outdoor space was a huge highlight—the backyard was great for playing in the snow and the kids absolutely loved the hot tub. The fireplace made the whole house feel so cozy after a day out. The location is also unbeatable, as it’s very close to downtown Truckee and just a 20-minute drive to Palisades Tahoe. We couldn’t have asked for a better home base and would highly recommend it to any large group!" - Melissa (Feb. 2026)
