Pets are allowed at the cabin but NOT ON THE FURNITURE, ie: beds, couches, etc. Floor only. If this is not acceptable to you then please find another house. There is 1 bed there for pets. Cleaning up pet hair from the couches etc, will significantly increase your cleaning charges.

Great gently sloped yard for sledding in the winter.

The House itself: The house is just beautiful with rustic antique wall décor like skis, snowshoes, fishing gear, and mountain art. It is light and bright and open, with lots of windows, and a sunny, private location without the traffic noise of busy streets like NORTHWOODS. Very quite a private yet only a couple miles to town.

The kitchen is knotty pine and looks rustic, made to look old and handmade. The kitchen is stocked with dishes, flatware, pots/ pans etc. and has all the modern equipment for all your cooking needs. Fridge,dishwasher,stove/oven, microwave, coffee maker, blender, large Crock pot and a front load washer & dryer. For dining we have a huge, 3' thick log table, 10' long that can seat up to 12 adults.

No snow, but wonderful winter vacation!

Review Submitted: January 7, 2012 Date of Stay: January 2012
We just got back from staying at "Best bang for your Buck". This was our family's 2nd time staying here and once again we had a wonderful time. The only disappointment was the lack of snow, so instead of sledding down hills, we hiked them! This was a great way to start the New Year! My kids, ages 10 and 14, loved having their own room and hanging out by the fire. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and cookware, and the cabin is close to many nice restaurants if we didn't feel like cooking. We are looking forward to coming back soon!!

Owner's Response: Hi Heidi, Thx once again for your repeat rentals. I'm glad to hear your family enjoyed theirselves despite the lack of snow so far this year. Quite unusual to be able to go hiking during the winter. How beautiful it is. We do have trail head's just down the street from the house so you must know about those. Great outdoors terrain. I look forward to hearing from you again soon. Thx, Tor

Outdated and dirty

Review Submitted: January 4, 2012 Date of Stay: December 2011
The house was just plain dirty!!! Cobwebs on the walls, mold in both of the bathrooms, and the kitchen floor did not look like it had been mopped in ages. There was only one roll of TP per bathroom. This may not be the fault of the owner but more the cleaners. The cabin is dated. Lighting was poor with burned out lights. Linoleum was peeling in kitchen and downstairs bath and both showers had mold. My wife actually had the scrub out the showers. Window coverings were poor and falling apart. The dishes were dirty and half the glasses were so old they didn't even hold water.

The house served its purpose and is cheaper than most.
Recommended for:  Pet-friendly, Adventure Seekers
Owner's Response: Very weird review. First time in 8 years I have ever heard these issues. 99% of my guests love the place and no one has claimed these issues. Cobwebs are normal in Tahoe and they reappear a couple days of being cleaned. "Out dated", no it's purposely rustic but nice. In fact we just put up a bunch on brand new wall coverings 6 mo ago. No mold, none. Don't know what you saw but the place is kept clean and nice. It is not the Hyatt Hotel and you didn't pay $1000/night either. You just can't please everyone all the time.......good luck. Tor

November, 2011 Stay

Review Submitted: December 23, 2011 Date of Stay: November 2011
As the Team Leader for a crew of 11 that spent time in this cabin during the month of Novmeber, I can confidently say that the team enjoyed the cabin immensely. We really enjoyed the surrounding area firstly. It was close to Truckee, however far enough away to allow privacy to take in the beauty of the mountainous views. We also enjoyed the home away from home feeling with the large table big enough for all 11 of us, the fire place, the television, spacious kitchen, and quaint decorations. The bedrooms were perfect, large and very comfortable. The space was a perfect fit for 11 people, so I would imagine it could only be more comfortable with a more traditionally sized family. Thank you for your hospitality!

Perfect stay for 3 +50 hiker guys

Review Submitted: September 18, 2011 Date of Stay: September 2011
Cabin is located in a very quiet vacation home development close to Truckee + VERY REASONABLY PRICED. We spend two weeks every other year hiking in the US West and have rented several houses and cabins normally for 2 - 4 night stays. We spent 2 nights at this large cabin mid-Sept and were very comfortable hiking during the days and sleeping soundly at night. Kitchen was well stocked with everything needed to cook and prepare meals. Internet worked perfectly and there was a large dining table to spread out our trial maps and local brochures. Truckee (nearby - down the hill from cabin) is a friendly town for hikers, lots of small restaurants, we found everything we needed. Nice deck out back for relaxing. We enjoyed our stay and when we return to Truckee we will definitely stay here again. Perfect for skiers also it would seem.
