Whilst the location was great and the room very clean a better star rating would be 5/10. When I opened the wire screen door it fell off. I contacted owner who was quick to respond, advising she did know about the issue (maybe a good door should be installed correcting an already known issue). No aircon, but there is a fan in the cupboard which helped. On the second morning I was woken by someone in the garage at 4am (attached to the small unit) who kindly left the motor running for a few minutes before leaving - this is the main reason for the low score. I did contact the owner about this, but had no response. Oh well, the bed was comfortable and I used the place to sleep in only, so it did the job. Nice view from the outside space.

Everything was great - it was a very quiet neighborhood on the river,. I think you should say that the next door neighbor is a fishing guide. We would have booked with him had we known. Suggestion - we are over 80 and mildly tech-savvy. It would be helpful if you had written instructions in the house for operation of the TVl - we couldn't use it. Also for the BBQ. Same thing. Laminated instructions would be very helpful.

This place was awesome. Nice and cozy. Has everything you need. its about 15 minutes from Downtown Truckee and about 15 steps to the river. This is my second time at this spot and I’m already looking forward for the next trip up. Owners of the property are extremely kind and helpful. Thanks again, Rachael and Matt.

Great little spot for a couple’s Tahoe/Truckee getaway. Just minutes away from all the recreation in the area. Also very close to the Hirschdale entrance to the Truckee-Pyramid Trail.

The unit was exactly what I was looking for - has everything needed for short vacation. The owners are next door and very friendly and helpful. Even did fly fishing with Matt (owner) which I did not plan ahead and it was great.

Great location and easy check in. I really loved the location of this property and what a treat to be able to bring my dog. The owners were. Very responsive and easy to get ahold of. It’s a cute unit attached to the garage. This place is great but the floor was very cold and I had to use towels/pillows to block the drafts from the closet and doors. Also the bed was pretty uncomfortable. I had a hard time sleeping. Great shower though and beautiful view!

The unit was perfect for what we needed. It had everything we needed in a small space. Great view of the mountains and the Truckee River. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again in the future. Thank you very much! Mike and Kim

The apartment was ideal for our purposes. We spent most of our five days there with family who live in Truckee. Getting in and out was simple, the location was ideal, and the river added beauty. Great!

The unit was fine, some nice interior decorations mixed with deferred maintenance issues. The listing was perfectly clear that it would be important to open the windows at night to let in cool air, given the lack of AC. That would have worked great...if the screen door were functional, which it was not. The door was too broken to use, not only falling off track at the slightest pressure but also leaving a huge gap that let insects fly in (and being so close to the river, this was a major phenomenon!). Other drawbacks included a lingering scent of old cigarette smoke, a deck surface badly in need of sanding and repair, and other small details like tattered curtains and flapping insulation stripping. The location was lovely in terms of the river view, mountain air, and frolicking wildlife. However, there is no escaping the fact that you are very much attached to a garage and looking directly at the host's equipment-littered backyard and back deck. We often worried that we were invading the freedom of the host's kids to run and play freely - they were very respectful but we were so obviously in their territory. One final, small detail/hint: the coffeemaker is a Keurig and only 2 pods were provided, so make SURE you bring pods or your own coffemaker. We brought backup beans but couldn't use them. Altogether it was a fine stay but felt overpriced.

I booked this house for two nights for a solo fishing getaway, it was absolutely wonderful. The owners/family were awesome, made me feel right at home. The house had everything I needed and being that close to the water was an added bonus. Can’t wait to head back up.

We were looking for a location close to Stampede Reservoir as our adult kids & grandbabies were spending a few days there. We don't camp anymore but wanted to be nearby. (20 minute scenic drive). This place was perfect, quiet with pretty view of the Truckee River, train tracks (quiet) and valleys. Deer were comfortable wandering through in the early morning or dusk. Great BBQ! Kitchen is small, but we had plenty of room for what we were doing. Beds were comfortable, shower great and super clean throughout! We'd definitely re-book!

This is a small but well appointed apartment built onto the end of the owner's garage. Has a nice deck off the living room. Bath is small but functional and has a great shower. Kitchen is again small but dishes for two are supplied as is Keurig coffee makings and a microwave. Bed comfortable. An oddity is the refrigerator in the bedroom but not a problem. Neighborhood is very quiet with kids playing in the street. All in all we enjoyed our stay.

My boyfriend and my Corgi (dog) and I had a wonderful winter weekend stay here in early March. We were able to snowshoe right out the backyard, and stay cozy at home watching the snow fall. It was perfect for a true city getaway: peaceful, relaxing, private. And was still easy enough to reach from the highway (I-80) for any trips in to town (Truckee) for supplies or socializing. The apartment is attached to the back of the hosts' garage, a separate building from their house. The hosts were quick to reply; kindly plowed the driveway and around our car; and we respected each others' privacy (no in person interaction or visits despite proximity). I would visit again and recommend it for a peaceful time in the mountains!

Quiet hideaway

Property was clean & bed was comfortable. Host was quick to respond to questions. Listing should specifically say no air conditioning. We wouldn’t have booked it had we realized that. When I asked that question after reading the guidelines I was told what to do to help keep it cool. They had a box fan but we brought a stronger fan with us and needed both. Our first night was so hot it took quite awhile to fall sleep. By morning it was cool but then it warms up through the day. It would help if there were ceiling fans or fans in the windows to draw air in. Other than that it was good but be aware if you’re staying here during the summer that there isn’t AC.
