Beautiful Tahoe Getaway!

We have stayed at this property twice during ski season and it's amazing. Always spotless and the layout of the space is great! Beautiful mountain views and the owner is very responsive to all of our needs. Very close to Northstar ski resort, I highly recommend.

Amazing property, location and owners

The home is beautiful and couldn’t be in a better location. We had SO much snow and it was just incredible. Easy to get to northstar and very easy to get to the clubhouse, and very close to downtown truckee. Can’t wait to stay again! We had a power outage and the owners were very quick to help us figure out what to do.

Loved It

The house was a perfect place for our group to hang out after golf each day. Amenities were terrific and house was beautiful, clean and well appointed. Way better than staying in a hotel and just about the same price per night per person. Look forward to staying there again.

What a beautiful home with gorgeous views

The property was immaculate, new, and had plenty of space for us to spread out (kids downstairs and adults upstairs). Communication with the owners was easy and they added a nice touch of fresh flowers and a little snack bowl and note for us. Would definitely stay here again.
