We've stayed in Truckee and Northstar many times, but usually with other families who take care of choosing and booking the places we stay. This time, we wanted to enjoy a few days away with just our family and our two small dogs. We love to travel and stay in nice places, and it can be difficult to find a nice and clean place that allows pets.
This house was wonderful! It was clearly professionally cleaned (I am always surprised by other rental properties that charge cleaning fees but expect us to do most of the work before we go) and was spotless when we arrived. The kitchen was well stocked with good/newer/quality cookware, utensils, flatware, and dishes, as well as dishsoap, detergent, paper towels, etc. There was plenty of firewood to use in the woodburning stove/fireplace. Appreciated the saucer sled in the garage - my kids loved it :) Also appreciated the dog dishes in the laundry room. Beds were comfortable, and there were plenty of extra linens and bedding. Also plenty of towels (would have appreciated some washcloths, that that was not a big deal). Our pups and our kids LOVED the backyard, which was covered in snow when we arrived. We received several more inches during our stay and it was such a treat for family. No issues with Wifi and we were able to log into our streaming accounts without any problems.
This was one of the best visits we've had to Tahoe, and was definitely one of the best homes we've stayed in. We would love to stay again :)
