Great stay; great location!

Cannot oversell how great the location was... some places "in Truckee" are not really walkable, or easily walkable. This was great to just pop over to a meal or shop. The place was clean and quite a comfortable bed... at least the one we slept in!

Perfect spot!

Adorable home in a perfect location! My niece and I loved everything about our stay. We loved Truckee and it was perfect being so close to town. We had wonderful meals and ice cream each day and even experienced Truckee Thursday which was fun! We did a wonderful hike near Donner Pass and enjoyed Lake Tahoe area! Can’t wait to come back to explore more!

Wonderful

The home is inviting, comfortable, clean and met all our needs. The location is perfect. We enjoyed morning walks downtown for coffee and breakfast as well afternoon shopping and dinner. The beds are super comfortable and we enjoyed sitting on the front porch and great little side yard. Look no further than Shabby Chic if you need a place to stay in Truckee.
