Cozy Mountain Neighborhood
This house is in a great location. It is true to its pictures. The property host was communicative both before, arrival and departure. We never had any issue but it was nice to know there was someone attending if we needed it. Thanks for sharing your home with us.

Great time at the Bear House
We had a lovely time at the house. We enjoyed sledding and shoeing in the backyard and playing fooseball and pool indoors. We loved having our dog with us.

Christmas Holiday
We stayed at the “Bear” house while we were visiting my daughter and her family who live in Tahoe Donner for Christmas. It was a very convenient location for us since she lives around the corner! The stay was very nice and any questions requests we had were promptly addressed by the property manager.

Great stay
Overall it was a great stay in a terrific location. Great neighborhood. House is nicely stocked. Weather was unseasonably cold so we stayed in quite a bit. The games had many missing pieces making them difficult to play/enjoy.

Kid friendly
Two bedrooms and a bathroom downstairs ideal for kids. Primary bedroom comfortable. En suite bathroom small for two people. Kitchen large and generous counter space. Living room is spacious. Convenient location to downtown Truckee and nearby such as markets, coffee shops, other food businesses. All within 10 - 15 minutes from rental.

Perfect short getaway
My family enjoyed our stay at this home. It was a cozy home with plenty of space for everyone. The kids enjoyed the foosball table and the other games provided.
The structure of the home is beautiful inside, yet the living room furniture is a bit outdated. The rooms/beds were comfortable and the house stayed warm with the many space heaters provided in addition to the central heating.
We enjoyed the fact that we didn't have to drive to the Snow Park to play in the snow when there was ample space in the back yard for the kids to play. Access through the garage was great and we ended up using this to exit out of the front of the house as well at different times as the front steps were icy.
Our only complaint would be that the televisions were difficult to operate and worked sporadically.
Otherwise everything was great and we would stay here again.
