Great place in Truckee
The house was perfect for our group. The athletes on our team had everything that they needed to recover each day and prepare for the next day of competition. They had a blast in the game room and cooking meals together.

Tall ceilings. Fun pool table in the great room. Huge backyard to sled in. Home provided 5 sleds which came in handy!
