Great yard to play
The home was clean, comfy and met all my family’s needs. We stay in this area every year and the back yard is the best of any we’ve stayed at. Kids were able to sled from the side yard to the back yard and had plenty of space to have a snowball fight, built snowman, etc. We didn’t use down stairs but tfw king bed and 2 twins upstairs were very comfy. Plenty of hot water! Never ran out.
Feedback:
More info on how to manage the house would have been nice. Many homes we stay in have a more lengthy welcome email or book when you arrive. This home had a few notes on the wall and that was about it. A very miner thing but would have been helpful and saved some time. Also, the pull out couch has an air mattress in it! Didn’t remake it til night 2. A note for that would be nifty.
Kids would have loved it if the jets in the master bath worked.
No utensil holder in the dishwasher made it difficult to fit all the dishes in.
Never figured out the dvd player. Not sure it was even connected. We brought lots to watch so it was a bummer but the tv had Disney plus so that was enough.
Also we learned to turn off the fire place around dinner time to allow upstairs to cool down before bed. It gets pretty toasty up there!

Nice and convenient
7 of us stayed and all really enjoyed the property. It’s really close to the grocery store as well as bars and restaurants. The properties amenities are about 5 mins away and you use the guest pass and each person pays $16 to use them per day (all day use). I’d say the only two complaints we had was the air conditioning didn’t go throughout the house and not all of the bathrooms had fully stocked towels (we later found the towels in the dryer). We assume the housekeeping just forgot to put them away so it wasn’t a big deal for us. Overall we really like the property and it looks great as well.

Springbreak in Truckee
Overall, my family and I had a wonderful stay. The house was very clean and had majority of everything we needed. The area was beautiful and close to town. Just a few minor issues, such as, the bathroom door on the main level tended to get stuck and it appears the there was a minor leak with the toilet in the first floor bathroom. The items didn't hinder our stay and I'm sure they would have gotten fixed if I had contacted the property management but we were too busy enjoying our vacation.
