Fantastic location!
The house was located just a short 3 minute drive to Tahoe City yet on a quiet street blocks off the highway, making it close to beaches, restaurants, shops as well as the Truckee River Trail….an incredible hiking/biking trail. The house has been recently remodeled and has all of the amenities you will need for your stay.
The host was incredibly responsive to emails and requests concerning our stay….making our visit even more enjoyable. Overall a big thumbs up!
