The host was more than welcoming, helping us with information on the house, transportation around the area, snow ski and play areas, and anything else we asked which had not already been volunteered. The hosts were phenomenal. They were quick with responses to our needs and our curiosity. The house was all that the internet description showed and much more. The house was fully equipped with everything one needed in the kitchen, in the living area, the bedrooms, and the bathroom. Just bring your clothes and your toothbrush! The garage was also fully equipped with items we needed to clear the driveway after an 18 inch snow fall. Snow shovels, ice scrapers, a snowblower, material to de-ice, and sleds. Our family of 14 with adult children, grandchildren, husbands, and boy friends along with 3 year old twins had a wonderful five nights, playing games, watching movies, and playing in the snow. The house and amenities exceeded our expectations.I can’t end without telling about location. Close to ski areas and the town of Truckee. It is very easy to give the host and the house five stars. It deserves more.

We thoroughly enjoyed a 3 generation family gathering at this well-appointed cabin. Lovely decor and lots of kitchen ware. There was a big snow in the days just prior and during our arrival. Being a relatively flat lot and near a primary road was greatly appreciated for easy access to the property. There was room for playing in the snow in as well. The decorated trees by the house added to the festive atmosphere. There was also ample parking for our 3 vehicles. The cousins enjoyed the "kids' room" with plenty of books and toys. The gentle rise of carpeted stairs was greatly appreciated by senior members of the group as well as our 1 year old. It helped us all navigate a 2 story property safely. Thank you so much Tracy & Bill for a wonderful week and facilitating memories for a lifetime.
As the weather warmed, the snow shed from the roof.
Nice driveway for the group
Gentle sledding for the little ones.

Why they chose this property

Hiking trails are right out the front door. The snowplow clears our road first so I never have trouble getting to the ski resort.

What makes this property unique

There is a bedroom on the main lower level with a full bath.(No Stairs from entry. Level walk in thru garage.) I will decorate the place for the holidays if you prefer it Holiday ready. (small cost)
