Gorgeous house in the middle of everything

I stayed here with my husband, dog and three adult children for a week in the summer and found this house perfect for our needs. The house is spacious, very well appointed, and within minutes of everything we needed - a short walk to Trout Creek Adventure Center and a short drive to old town Truckee, Lake Donner, and more hiking/biking trails than we could possibly use. The management company was on top of all of our questions and needs and the check-in/check-out process was super easy. We hope to return next summer for longer!

There were mouse droppings under the kitchen sink. The check out instructions ( one on counter and one by washer) were inconsistent. Otherwise everything was fine

Absolutely perfect!

Beautiful and comfortable home! Plenty of room for us, our two young adult children and daughter's boyfriend. We loved being able to bring our pup too! Easy location for great skiing and exploring downtown Truckee in a quiet neighborhood. Appreciated being able to park our cars in the garage and how responsive communication was. Would definitely want to stay again.

The house was a perfect size and set up. We were a party of 5, but it could fit a few more kids upstairs. Clean, close to rec center and skiing. Great communication from the property manager and comfortable bedding. Remodel and fresh.

Fantastic spot in Tahoe Donner within walking distance of the rec center and local store and a short drive from Truckee and Donner Lake. House layout is great for groups and the wooded backyard is spacious and peaceful. We had a few maintenance issues come up but the property managers were very responsive and remedied the issues immediately. Will definitely stay here again!
