Excellent time in Truckee

We very much enjoyed our stay at the "quiet mountain home" in Truckee. It was a cozy, quiet spot, excellent for bringing along our dog. The completely fenced yard was a great place to play with him when we were not out hiking and sight-seeing. We would stay here again!

Enjoyed our stay. House is quaint, and comfortable. Nice fenced yard for the dogs. Front and back porch comfortable for relaxing but could have been swept and cleaned a bit.

Perfect, clean cabin

i know others have said it before, but the fact that we didn't have to walk on an 1 in thick of carpet from '72 was amazing. This place was super clean and neat, perfect for a small family in a super safe neighborhood. Upgraded appliances, a huge movie selection and warm sheets. We will be back for sure.

Didn't Live Up to the Hype

We booked this place based on the charming pictures, positive reviews, and claims that the cabin was "immaculate." Unfortunately, that was not the case for us. When we first arrived, we were met with a pool of water on the kitchen floor that was coming from the refrigerator, which was stocked with smelly, out of date food items. Yuck! Took pictures and sent them to the owner who informed us that had happened once before, but never while he was there. Okay. The next day my husband was grabbing a mug from the kitchen cabinet and was showered with gloppy old, red wine. Gross! Some clown had put red wine in a mug and just left it in the cabinet. One nice pair of pants ruined and a disgusting mess to clean up! We informed the owner and the response was "Guess I'll have to paint sooner than expected." Really? The kitchen itself is in dire need of updating. The linoleum was literally peeling back from the floor. The guest bedroom in the picture shows two regular-sized queen beds. In reality, one of the beds is only about a foot off the ground, just a mattress with no box-spring. Weird. Our entire family got really sick while staying there, most likely due to the fact that the place was not properly cleaned. One positive aspect is the location and large backyard for kids and pets. Other than that, I don't understand all of the positive reviews. This place needs a lot of work.

Dear Carrie, First, I want to Thank you for taking the time to write a review. I am very sorry that your stay wasn't as enjoyable as our repeat guests. I was really disappointed to read your review. We work hard to deliver an exceptional guest experience and it's apparent this case we fell short. We keep our cabin up-to-date and no one's ever complained about the low profile beds in the 2nd bedroom. as a matter of fact people raved about them and how wonderful they were for the kids.. Thank you for the positive note about the backyard for family and pets and great location. We love to hear families enjoy the beauty of the yard. We are sorry for the accident with the wine. Please let us take care of dry cleaning. Again, we are sorry that you did not enjoy your stay. Hope your family is feeling better.

Great Stay!

We had a great stay at this property! Nice cozy home in a lovely area. The backyard is super nice and our family and dogs loved romping around in the freshly fallen snow. The beds are super comfy. Great location in quiet neighborhood, close to Truckee and Northstar. Looking forward to staying here again!

Incredible place, incredible location

This was the best week I have had in a long time. This wonderful town is in the best spot in the Sierras AND is dog friendly! The hosts are extra super nice and communicative. The house is beautiful and immaculate inside and has the most relaxing backyard space. We had a wonderful week here.

Stay at Truckee Mtn Home

Very nice stay at this Truckee Mountain home. Clean property and great for small family. Fenced back yard which was convenient for small grand children who were with us. Our daughter lives on the same street so it was a particularly convenient location.

Cozy, comfy, beautiful location!

Had a great time. Very cozy and clean. Only tip - the backyard is fenced on only three sides. From the online pics I mistakenly thought it was fully fenced. But we just kept our dog on a leash and all was good! Owner was great!

This is the perfect mountain getaway cabin!

We absolutely loved our time at this cabin! We were looking for a quiet getaway near Tahoe but wanted something away from crowds but still near tubing for the kids. This cabin is very easy to get to, close to downtown Truckee with great shops and dining. The cabin itself is so comfortable and welcoming - we immediately felt at home. We cooked every night and the kitchen supplies were stocked just perfectly. The bedrooms are set up very nicely with multiple sleeping options and we could've easily had another guest with us without feeling too cramped. We also really loved the neighborhood. We walked our dogs multiple times per day and everyone was really friendly, waving hello. I cannot recommend this cabin and location enough! Thank you Kevin for hosting our family, we will definitely be back soon!

Truckee getaway

Decorated beautifully with nice wood like flooring. and new appliances. Beds were very comfortable. We discovered a side of Truckee we haven't been to and really enjoyed the lake paths by the community center. Had everything we needed. TV setup is actually Roku and the Wifi has a 5G which makes it easy.

Cozy and clean, great value!

Well equipped - had everything we needed, especially to stay warm in all of the snowy weather. There was wood for the stove, electric and fuzzy blankets on the beds, and salt for the driveway. It was a quiet neighborhood but central to skiing and Truckee activities. We will definitely be back. Thank you!
