Permit #: 031162
Occupancy: 6
Get ready to make the absolute best memories with friends and family in no time when you make Truckee Secret your next home-away-from-home. When you arrive, you will be greeted by that classic cabin exterior, yet as soon as you step inside you will realize this getaway is anything but your average mountain retreat. Contemporary furnishings, tastefully decorated, and floor-to-ceiling windows are just scratching the surface when it comes to reasons why this home is so special. When everyone has had their fill of skiing, hiking, or exploring downtown Truckee, there will be no delay in relaxing with a home-cooked meal, as the fully equipped kitchen has stainless steel appliances, a gas range, and beautiful countertops to assist with preparing any recipe. A small work desk is available if you need to get some work done while enjoying the view. Kick back in the living area next to the warmth of the gas fireplace and stream favorite movies on the flat screen TV as days come to a close. Or, summer nights can easily be spent out on the deck for a family cookout.
