Reviews

Megan

What a treat this vacation was! The house is amazing. The bedrooms are SO comfortable with their en-suite bathrooms, luxury linens and towels, and tvs. We loved the kid room with bunks and a ton of space for them to chill after a long day. I felt like I was at a 5 star resort. I loved waking up and having coffee on the back patio. (The kids preferred the back patio for making s’mores in the fire pit at night!) The location is amazing. In 24 hours we biked along Lake Tahoe, ate and played in downtown Truckee, sat by the resort-style pool and enjoyed a little pickle ball and tennis. Everything was at our fingertips. Loved loved this vacation. Highly recommend this house!
