12 Reviews of Property 78680 in Truckee, California

The property was clean, it was right across from the lake, the view was good, and it wasn't too far to get restaurants, etc. We appreciated the break the owner gave us when we brought our own towels and sleeping bags. The owner was responsive with our questions about the property and nearby amenities.

The issue we had was not being able to access the internet and finding no paper towels and only 3 napkins when we checked in. We called the three numbers (including the emergency one) we were given, but no one returned our calls. Fortunately, someone in our group had a roll of paper towels in his car. As a previous guest said, it's a long walk uphill from the parking area to the front door.

Otherwise, we had a very pleasant stay and were fine with the facilities.

My experience was quite interesting here. The cabin was nice with a beautiful view of the lake. There was a lot of things to do at the cabin including games, cooking, & movies. I had a great weekend here.

This is a great condo in very nice condition. The view of the lake and the mountains behind it is pretty astounding. The condo is very easy to get to and close to town in Truckee for shopping and dining. We very much enjoyed our stay and would consider using this condo again when we go back to Tahoe. My only complaints with the unit are: there is not much heat in the place and you have to use in-room portable units in the bedrooms, which heat fine but are hard to get to maintain an even temperature and you are forever adjusting them up and down. There was a lack of paper towel and dish soap provided in the unit so cooking and cleaning was a problem for us, luckily we did not eat in too much so it worked out okay. Condo is a bit of a walk up stairs from where you park, but that is only any issue when you are moving your luggage in or out, it is fine the rest of your trip.

We ejoyed an amazing week in September at this townhome. The property itself was well layed out for my family of four and the grand parents. We found the accomidations to be well appointed, clean, and nicely kept. The location was perfect with a short walk to the private beach, and easy couple min drive to great hiking trails or downtown truckee. We had a great trip and are looking forward to returning this winter for a couple ski weekends

This is our third visit to the property; once last winter, once in July and now we just got back from a trip in the fall. The unit is clean and well appointed. The location is perfect regardless of the season, with ski resorts, the lake, and town all being very close. The owner has been a pleasure to deal with, and his cleaning and maintenance crew do a good job keeping the property in good condition. The only potential downside I could see is if a renter had a disability that did not allow them to climb stairs as there are about 8-10 to get into the unit and there are two levels inside the unit. It is a wonderful unit with a great floor plan and amazing views of Donner Lake and the mountains.

Loved this location and the private beach (a small walk down the lake, not directly across). Bring your own toilet paper, dish washer soap, laundry soap, soap for showers, etc. as we had to go out and buy. It is a very long walk up from the car to the unit - the unit is the second row from the street. Two long staircases. Many small problems - including the BBQ did not work and looked like it has not worked in a long time; someone there before us used coals on it. Could not even remove tank to try to refill propane (as owner suggested). Part of stair step up to the unit is missing. Bring your own fan for summer, as upstairs gets hot and the fan provided had some issues (on/off switch had to be operated with a knife). Kitchen is very small and only suitable for one person to work in and is not "new". 80% remodeled is a stretch - clearly the place is from the 70s. Window coverings only partly cover the windows (so you cannot keep out the morning light). Also, it took, very long to get our deposit back (3 weeks after we were there), yet was forced to pay the deposit immediatley upon booking (many months in advance). But, location is great and they let us bring our dog (for an extra fee); and had plenty of room for our 3 cars. My husband also loved the fishing at Donner Lake (but would have loved to BBQ his catch).

Pros: Close to Sugarbowl and Northstar. Great views of the lake. New electric stove and dishwasher. Rooms are decent sized. The gas fireplace upstairs was very nice and warm.
Note: The bunkbeds were not as pictured (it's only 1 bed - twin on top, full size bed on bottom with a pull out trundle).

Cons: Unit is much older than the pictures look: with exposed wiring for ceiling lighting, a small galley style kitchen (not part of the 80% remodel obviously). Central heating didn't work for downstairs - signs all over the unit indicating we should not use the wall heating unit. The bathrooms downstairs were extremely cold! The owner did provide 4 freestanding heaters but one didn't work and they're not so safe to use with small children. The unit is set back about 75-100 feet away from the garage so if you have a lot of bags or gear it's not very convenient, and the steps/path to the townhome was very icy and not maintained by the townhome association so my kids slipped on the stairs a couple of times.

We had a wonderful stay at this property! Great proximity from the highway, super close to Truckee and Sugarbowl! The accommodations were super, comfortable, and very clean! Would highly recommend this place!
