Relaxing stay
We enjoyed a very relaxing stay with three generations of family for a week in July. The house is very comfortable and well equipped. The location was stunning, the Truckee River was incredible and just steps off of the deck. We had an amazing vacation and really didn't need to leave the property (we did of course)! The highway traffic does get loud, but settles down in the evening. The evening breeze kept the house cool all day. Thank you for a memorable week!

Palisades ski trip
My partner, dog and I drove up to ski a few days at palisades. While the weather was unkind to us, the home offered plenty to keep us occupied for the inclimate weather. The sauna and hot tub were amazing after a day of skiing and felt like our own personal spa, along with countless board games and card games to enjoy. The home is so cozy and spacious and well stocked with essentials. Also less than 10 minutes to the ski resort! The only downside I can think of is the noise of traffic because you are right off the main road, but nothing at all that took away from the experience. l could not recommend this home more and we are hoping to return next time we visit Palisades!

Winter escape
Cute and easily accessible home just outside ski resort area and Truckee. Quick access to Lake Tahoe. Hot tub was super, especially during the sudden snowstorm that left us with over 14 inches of snow overnight. Great experience, would recommend and stay again!
