Gorgeous house in the middle of everything

I stayed here with my husband, dog and three adult children for a week in the summer and found this house perfect for our needs. The house is spacious, very well appointed, and within minutes of everything we needed - a short walk to Trout Creek Adventure Center and a short drive to old town Truckee, Lake Donner, and more hiking/biking trails than we could possibly use. The management company was on top of all of our questions and needs and the check-in/check-out process was super easy. We hope to return next summer for longer!

Great time in Tahoe

We had a great time staying at this lovely Tahoe home. Everything about the reservation process, check in, and check out was super easy. The house itself was nice, with lots of space. Kitchenware could be a bit better with more measuring cups, Tupperware, and foil/wrap options. Also, it was obvious that this house allows pets as there was a lot of dog hair on the carpet. This was slightly problematic for our guest with pet allergies. Otherwise, a lovely house resulting in a great vacation.
