Amazing stay!

It’s a perfect escape & great for a group, the house is beautifully decorated with very comfy beds, not to mention the water pressure in the shower, so nice after a long hike & swim. There are club passes with an amazing gym & pool. House was perfectly located, close to grocery stores & restaurants if you don’t feel like cooking dinner. Would recommend this house if you are going to Truckee

Amazing stay, see you soon Truckee treat!

Robin's place was fantastic. Very clean and stylish place with everything you needed. In a great location, right in the middle of the trees and 5 min away driving of great places to eat! The host were very accommodating and helpful letting us drop our bags off early and checking in on us regularly to make sure we had everything we needed. Would definitely stay here again!

Clean, modern, comfortable, convenient

Everything you want for a ski getaway - comfortable for when you just want to kick your legs up after a day on the slopes, functional for when you want to cook “at home”, and conveniently located near multiple ski areas as well as plenty of restaurants, coffee shops and stores.

Beautiful Tahoe getaway

Beautiful spacious condo overlooking the pine tree forest. Well decorated with comfortable furniture and games for the kids. Kitchen was well stocked with everything to cook, bake and barbecue. The deck has an outdoor heater which made the evenings very enjoyable. Beds are large, mattresses are nice! Will definitely book again.

Relaxing in Truckee

We stayed in here for 4 nights. It was perfect for our needs. Kitchen had everything we needed, great wifi. This unit is one of 4 condo units in the building. It's on the 2nd floor. We didn't see or hear anyone while we were there. We would definitely stay again if it's available the next time we want to come Truckee.

Truckee Treat

Wonderful condo, close to everything we wanted or needed. Summer heat and no AC made the condo very hot during the day and even at night. Making it difficult to sleep. Would recommend at least having window fans available for this time of year. Condo well stocked with everything else needed. Thank you!

Best getaway and WFH situation - convenient and clean

My boyfriend and I went up to Truckee to enjoy all the beauty it has to offer, and we LOVED our stay!! Everyday we woke up and had coffee & breakfast outside on the patio, facing awesome views of forest trees. This place was so convenient being close to Lake Donner and the town! There was so much space, and everything we needed was in the house (dishes, utensils, pots/pans-- you name it, and SUPER clean) We were able to cook dinner, cozy up and watch the stars at night. I cannot recommend this place enough. I never needed to contact the host because everything was readily available. I can't wait to be back!!

The condo is fantastic but bad experience with Vacasa management

We highly recommend the condo. It was clean, fantastic location. Everything in the description was fulfilled and in perfect condition. We would definitely stay here again. However, the address provided was inaccurate and we arrived late at night. My husband had to wonder around properties for 30 min trying to find the right place. A very unsafe situation. While he was searching I called Vacasa and was assured a local agent would get in touch. Never did. I contacted them again the next day to report that having the wrong address is not safe and never heard back despite being reassured someone would get back to me. Extremely disappointing experience.

Good home but fell short on some things for summer

The home is nice. However, if visiting in summer, beware that there is no cooling (even though it says there is heating and cooling and the home gets extremely hot during the day and remains warm at night. The bunk bed room does not even have a floor fan and we couldn’t use that room at all to sleep in. The kitchen does not have basic items such as cooking oil, vinegar etc which you would expect when booking an expensive property. The previous guests also forgot to leave the guest cards which you need to use (and pay for) amenities and it took vacasa until the next day to get them to us which spoilt our plans for 2 days.

Clean, warm and convenient

This place was well light, clean, warm and convenient. It had hot water and pots and pans and silverware. And a tv with Netflix, etc. There was one flaw, however, which may be a deal breaker for some. It is that there was a terrible ice situation in front of the steps leading up to the apartment. Several inches of slick ice; it seemed like an ambulance ride was waiting to happen. We are a family with two adults, a 20 yr old and 3 kids. Each one of us slipped at least once. I am glad I didn't bring my 78 year old mother. She wouldn't have been able to navigate it. I tried to contact the property manager through VRBO and didn't hear back - but a few days later, after re-reading all of the info that was sent via text, I realized that you must contact Vacasa directly, and this is why my message went unanswered. In conclusion, this place is fine, but if I were to stay here again in winter, I plan to contact Vacasa first to ensure that the walkway problem has been taken care of.
