Its got beds, a small Tv, small kitchen, and a few other amenities. We didnt expect snow but we got some on the way up, the home had plenty of space for us to dry off and warm up. Home gets warm quick, so easy on the thermostat.
5 minutes from grocery stores and 10 from downtown. Enjoyed our stay.
4.0 / 5.0
Had a really great stay– everything was great about the place! We didn't have the issue with the cleanliness like the other reviews mentioned. Everything was cleaned and the beds were freshly made and all was tidy! The only weird part was getting a long message from the owner before check-in that was a little inappropriate and threatening. It contained some personal information that seemed unrelated and also had a lengthy paragraph about how the neighbors are quick to call the police for any noises and people have been arrested and put in jail. Here's the last sentence of the very long "welcome" text:"You, or members of your party, may be inconvenienced by having to return to Truckee for a court appearance and be fined. If you want to party, Reno is only 26 miles away"A short reminder to remain respectful of the neighbors would have sufficed but that giant paragraph made us feel pretty unwelcome before we got there. We had absolutely no issue with the neighbors. Nonetheless, still had a great weekend at this place and spent quality snow time with friends!

We were a party of 9 (five adults, 4 kids) and this cabin was a comfortable fit for four nights. Beds were roomy and the bunk beds in the loft have been upgraded to queen bunks, which we were pleasantly surprised to see. Plenty of extra blankets, a bookcase full of books, the garage had ping-pong tables, and there were assorted toys/boardgames available. The kitchen is well stocked with cooking supplies, which we appreciated.
The cabin was unfortunately not cleaned prior to our arrival, which the owner stated had not happened in the five years since he had been using this particular house cleaner person. He offered a partial refund for our trouble of having to do a load of wash and make our own beds upon arrival. Though inconvenient and unexpected, this situation did not detract from our overall vacation.
Some things that may be helpful for others to know when booking this cabin:
1. The water heater has a "vacation" setting, this should be dialed to the "normal" setting, so that the water hot. We were not aware of this setting the first night and had lukewarm showers.
2. If you have a large group, ie, more than ~4 people, you may want to bring your own towels. There were only 5-6 towels available in the cabin. The linen cabinet, where presumably extra towels would be kept - is empty.
3. Bring your own shampoo, soap, toiletries for the bathrooms.
Would we stay here again? Yes, the location is excellent to skiing, which we had come here for.

A well loved family cabin. Was great for our small family. All beds seemed relatively new which was a nice surprise. One shower sliding door needed to be fixed. Overall, very comfortable and convenient to town and resorts.
3.0 / 5.0
I wish I could give this cabin 5 stars.
Some of the cons:
- The downstairs bathroom door did not lock which was very inconvenient, considering there was many of us. Every time someone had to use the downstairs bathroom, they had to shout it out so nobody would open the door, since it did not lock.
- The downstairs shower only had 1 of 2 sliding doors. So, at the time of showering, you have to leave the sliding door in the middle so that not "all" the water gets outside because everything gets wet.
- There was no shampoo, conditioner, or soap. Thankfully we brought our own but I think that should be something complimentary for the guests.
- There was only one towel on each bathroom.
- One roll of toilet paper on both bathrooms (downstairs and upstairs).
- It would have been nice if they had salt for the ice in the driveway. I did not see any and the driveway gets really icy and it is also sort of in a hill, which makes it dangerous and a safety hazard.
Pros:
- The kitchen was very clean and nice, easy to use!
- Although the cabin looks a lot bigger in the pictures, it is very cozy and homey so it's perfect to have a great time with close family/friends.
- Location was perfect, 10 minutes away from downtown Truckee and about 5 minutes away from the freeway which is amazing!
Overall, I think the cabin was great for the price. If they were to improve the things listed above, it would get 5 stars! If you do not mind any of the cons, cabin is great for the listed price!

My second time staying here, they had new furnishings from the year before. Owner easy to contact if need be. I would definitely recommend anyone.
1.0 / 5.0
NO HOT WATER for the entire stay, carpets stained and dirty you have to wear socks at a minimum to keep you feet clean (FOUND THAT OUT WHEN MY 21 MONTH OLDS FEET WERE BLACK FROM RUNNING AROUND), empty fire extinguishers, broken gates, no outdoor furniture or lights to enjoy the deck that also has a broken gate. Do NOT bring young children here. Had to book a hotel room nearby in order to shower before the event we traveled across the country to be at. The list goes on and on, cleaning fees for a house that hasn’t been cleaned and makes you undress the beds before you leave or they threaten additional fees. Appliances that date back to the 90s, windows you can’t see through because of more stains, no clue how the windows are stained but here we are…. Managed by “EVOLVE” refused to give more than a 20% refund because they felt that was fair given the circumstances.
“ I understand this was not the resolution you were looking for. I have reviewed this case with a supervisor. After carefully reviewing all details and documentation available, we have determined no additional refund beyond what has already been provided will be forthcoming. The compensation already processed is fair and reasonable and within the normal range for similar experiences given the details of the case.”
Owner blamed me for not being more diligent about my communication with the broken water heater, I was at the event we traveled for on the day he assumed I fixed the water heater myself…..

The location is great for skiing Boreal and Sugar Bowl. The cabin is comfortable and has a fun, woodsy-feel with plenty of space for up to 8 people. The kitchen was well-equipped with plenty of dishes, utensils, and kitchen tools.

Nice cabin. 3 nice bedrooms with super comfy beds. Garage available for parking a car. Outside deck view is not the best and stairs going down from deck kinda wobbly. Kitchen is well equipped. Overall the cabin pleasant and well cleaned.

Nice place. Plenty of room. Wish there was more outdoor space. The cleaning lady left all the needed towels in the dryer. We couldn't find them until the 2 nd day.

This house has 3 bedrooms and one loft space. Not 5 bedroom as described. But besides this everything works out. Beds are comfortable and neighborhood is quiet. The host did a good job cleaning. The house is not very up to date but it is very clean. Kitchen functions well and there are some cooking essentials like olive oil, salt, spices available. Plenty of cups/plates/pots/pans/bowls/spoons/forks.
In short it was a very nice 4-night stay for us. We are a group of 9 people and completely occupied every room and the loft space. We cooked a lot for dinners and breakfasts. We enjoyed the house. The two car garage is nice.

I took my teenage kids up for a quick weekend ski trip. We all loved the place and had we spent more time, probably could have taken advantage of the books and games. The kitchen had everything we needed too. Great place - highly recommend!
4.0 / 5.0
The place was good and cozy. The downfall was that the garage was about a foot open and when we tried to close it, it would not work. We had to manually close it to avoid freezing the place up. The tree leaning on the house was a bit freaky but that is mother nature. The locks to the restroom did not work so we had to make sure no one was to run in on you.
Overall everything turned out great and made the best out of it.
Thank you for everything!

We had a great time. We were snowed in and had to dig our car out. Apparently no snow service is provided for the property. It’s really needed during heavy snow. We got assistance from a neighbor who worked for the Highway. A huge thank you for arranging to clear the driveway and area in front of the house!

Needs some love
Unfortunately a lot of the furnishings,
Mattresses and upstairs bathroom were pretty tattered.

Awesome place 🙂
Although it is not a fancy remodel house, it is clean and the location could not be better for snow play at boreal. Hand soap bottle kind of broken, but I brought my own, so I didn't mind. It would be more convenient if the closet of all the stocking is accessible, since the staff could accidentally forget to restock some items. Back yard has a lot of snow, kids had fun playing snow sled.

Cute place, relaxing getaway
Cute place, perfect for eight people. It’s a well used cabin, fair amount of wear and tear seen from prior rentals. Well stocked, clean, quiet neighborhood, and perfect for our weekend getaway of six adults. Three private bedrooms, two full bathrooms, games, dvds, and vhs tapes provided. Would stay again.

Fantastic Truckee home
Great home in an easy location to get to downtown, slopes or the highway.
Covered entrance and handy entrance door to laundry area prevented tracking snow all over the house.
Plenty of room, big beds, good heating. Nice kitchen. Could have used more baking dishes or a baking sheet and forks but we made do.
Nice house with great deck and pretty trees.

Cleanliness
The contact was friendly but we rented for 3 nights and checked out after one. I know there is something for older cabins and I’m fine with that. This has nothing to do with decor or age. It’s all complete cleanliness. If was filthy. The first thing when you walk in is see the return air duct. Big, on the wall. There was dirt covering it, the wall around it. The bathrooms had old hairbrush in the drawer with hair, looked like boogers around the master bedroom on the walls. Walls were filthy, it was just not clean. Surface clean I guess. The flannel sheets with print made me feel like I wondered if they were even washed. I appreciate the house lady for getting balloons for my husband and I sent her a check for reimbursement, that was very nice of her I notified the contact the next day that we checked out the second morning and he didn’t even ask why. I took pictures and I am just sad that we had to pay for a cabin for three then after one, drive to get a hotel for two more nights.

Great location
The place was superficially clean but really needed some maintenance, for example the windows which had could not be looked out as the seals were broken and clouded the view. I had to contact the manager as the code would not work. He had forgotten to email me updated information. He asked me to take out the six bags of unsealed garbage bags in the garage. I declined to do this and he said he would take care of it. It was stinky and never removed for my entire stay.

Very disappointed with this house nice location but the inside was dirty, and dusty!!!
Due to the house been dusty, it was hard to stay without allergies. The bathrooms were dirty as well. The owner needs to improve in bets and cleaning personal ASAP. I have pictures if they want proves. So sorry for any disappoint

Summer vacation 2021
Our stay at this cabin was very pleasant. We did have to get in contact with the owner and he was great at answering all of our questions and concerns. Cabin was clean when we arrived and neighborhood is very nice and quiet. Upstairs restroom was not working properly and we where not able to use bunk beds as one was broken but over all our stay was very pleasant. One suggestion would be fans for the bedrooms as cabin does not have ac and this would help keep it fresh at night. Cabin location is withing many attraction points and activities. We would definetly rent this cabin again if we are in the area in the future :)

Amenities not the best.
Clogged upstairs toilet, lack of window screens. Cockroach and other bugs found inside cabin made the stay difficult to sleep without opening windows to vent. Last minute communication with host, day prior addtl rules and broken bed/garage door. Stay was enjoyable due to location/proximity to Donner and Truckee

Wonderful place
We loved this home! It was perfect for our multiple family stay. The house owner even was in communication with me the entire times. I would totally stay here again if we are ever in the Tahoe area again!

Good location but older home
The house felt like it could use a deep clean. Some of the walls were dirty and there was old meat in the fridge when we arrived. The bunk beds were not in good shape. We didn’t feel comfortable having our kids on the top bunk. The board with the WiFi password had gotten messed up so I couldn’t use the WiFi. Good amount of space and a safe location.

Had a great time. Good location in relation to town and Reno. 1 suggestion is to have a guest book.
Great time for the family at a reasonable price.

Cozy Cabin
We had a blast staying here. The location was great, cabin had plenty of space. The fireplace was cozy and the kitchen appliances were new and worked really well. The place was stocked with dvds and games and the loft area with bunk beds and toys was really fun for our 5 year old.

Good
The place had a lot of room but was a little outdated. The couch was bad, very uncomfortable. But for the price it was a good stay. Beautiful weather!

Weekend Getaway
Booked this place last minute for a mothers daughters weekend getaway. Due to snow chain control, we ended up checking in later than expected. Upon arrival, the check-in instructions emailed were incorrect as the owner had not revised their lockbox code. After a couple attempts in contacting the owner, we got the correct code and entered successfully. The place was clean and comfy with a well stocked kitchen. Perfect for homemade meals that we planned on making. The furniture could use some updating as the couches were just a bit too soft and saggy. There were thorough instructions inside the house that was not included in the check in email, however we still abided by both out of respect for the place. Beds were comfy and plenty of linens if needed. WiFi worked as one of my party needed to do some work. They have plenty of board games and an Apple TV to entertain our kids. Aside from the check-in miscommunication, we overall had a great time there. I’d definitely return for another stay as it’s worth the money.

First that everything came to the cabin in the right time and everything was disorganized and dirty, as if someone had been staying there and left and no one came to clean, the smell in the whole cabin rooms kitchen and garage was very disgusting, the furniture was very old and dirty all the look there was unpleasant, when I wanted to put me in contact with the First that everything came to the cabin in the right time and everything was disorganized and dirty, as if someone had been staying there and left and no one came to clean, the smell in the whole cabin rooms kitchen and garage was very disgusting, the furniture was very old and dirty all the look there was unpleasant, when I wanted to put me in contact with the owner he tell me im sorry but i think the cleaning lady forgotten somebody use the cabin for those weekend???

Homey and great location
This cabin was exactly what we were looking for. Spent a weekend here with my best friends and kids. Plenty of room for nine of us. There was a lot to do for the kids with toys and a bunch of games. They loved the loft area! The property isn’t pristine and updated but it made for a more laid back weekend not having to worry about the kids making too many messes. The location was close to everything but really quiet and peaceful. I would rent it again!

Okay getaway for adults
Descent for an outdoor outing for adults to come and relax. Not quite clean and comfortable for young kids. Furniture needs to be updated especially the couch. It pretty much swallowed me in. Windows were dingy and distracted the beautiful view. Window treatments and curtains were 50% functional. Could not turn on ceiling fan for air circulation. Overall 1-5 I would rate this a high 2 into the 3’s.
