Summary: Large open living/kitchen/dining area was great! Lots of seating. Well stocked kitchen (But needs more than 2 kitchen towels and 4 dishwasher soap pods) Plenty of bathroom towels. Great location! Short walk to the lake/beach/playground etc. and close to good hiking. Enjoyed the photo albums telling the story of the home. WIfi was so-so. Overall it is a great home and large enough to accommodate our whole family. Will definitely come back again. Thanks

Summary: The deck was fabulous, spent a lot of time out there. The kitchen was huge. Plenty of room for everything and everyone. The bedrooms need a little updating. Not all the windows worked. Plenty of bath towels. Very few washcloths or hand towel in bath or kitchen. Overall we had a great time

Summary: The house was really clean and if great shape. The openness of the upstairs makes it really nice and comfortable and easy for your family to hang out and not miss anything even while you're cooking in the kitchen or eating in the dining area. The way the bedrooms are set up accommodated my family really well. It's really close to town, the lake and ski resorts so it's perfect for all occasions. I would definitely rent this house again and recommend it to friends and family.

Summary: Wish Vacasa had been more accommodating. Due to severe weather we tried to alter our dates that we were staying. And they have a 7 day lock period. When you cannot alter dates or get refunded. So we had to pay for 2 nights and only stay one night.

Summary: I didn’t select this house off the bat. Our first choice was smaller (slept 8) but more current/updated and across from the lake. Something weird happened and Vacasa contacted me right before our trip saying our reservation was cancelled because the property owner decided to sell the house and would not honor any reservations even though they claim they (Vacasa) tried. What is weird is that was a few weeks ago but I still see that house being offered on Vacasa with dates reserved for rentals. Not sure why “we” were booted off our reservation...?Vacasa offered two alternate houses and this was one of them. The house has a majestic, vast and impressive living area all on the second level. Three huge log pillars between the dining and kitchen support the vaulted wood ceilings; a lot of big windows showcase the trees surrounding the property; a moderately sized wood balcony wraps around the outside of this second level. Furnishings and aesthetics are a little dated but not offensive or major. It is a HUGE living, dining, lounging, open entertainment area. 1 master bdrm and bathroom upstairs while 5 other bdrms and a full double bathroom are downstairs. There is no ‘backyard’- there is a frontyard grassy area. The fridge had a broken plastic guard rail thing on the bottom- it wouldn’t stay on at all so while that had no effect on our stay, it just gives the impression that the house isn’t as maintained as it should be. The window treatments were all either missing the plastic rod which enables you to control the amount of light so bdrms remained dark - or the cable drawstrings were non existent or stuck and not working. The master bdrm bathroom door lock was completely busted so there was absolutely no hardware in the door piece that connects to the groove in the frame- so yup, if you’re on the jon, the door is ajar so I shoved a bunch of towels on the ground to keep it closed hoping no one would accidentally push it open. Downstairs offers such ample sleeping quarters- u could and should rent this place if you have at least 10 people. Otherwise, downstairs is a little creepy because it is a very cold, long narrow hall set up almost like a dorm. The tv- we only used once to watch one thing. The last night, I wanted to chill out and watch a movie w the kids and the entire system was down- nothing we did w the router, connections would give back the signal. We called in and Vacasa repeatedly stated it was so late in the evening and she wasn’t sure if she could send anyone. It was 7:03 pm and that is a time when families might want to nestle in and watch a show together. The good thing is she did try and place a work order for it. Then a lady called me attempting to run down the list of stuff we already tried and said she was all the way in Tahoe City.... so clearly, she wasn’t thrilled about coming to help us so I let her off the hook because I am not a rude or selfish person. She said she would give me a small refund of some sort. I am not sure how she will plan on giving me that. The house is nice overall and the big selling point is its size and lofty, impressive space for huge parties. It is across from a lake park which is very nice but you have to pay to enter during vacay season. It was open and free for us as it is Oct. but there were no more rentals as they’re off season. Just minor stuff should be fixed and overall, a good place for a lot of people to relax and spend time.

Summary: We came up for our daughter’s wedding in Truckee and this was the perfect house. It had a large kitchen and living room with a beautiful vaulted ceiling and enough bedrooms for all of us! Would love to stay here again.

Summary: Was great, loved the place. One small improvement that would make better is to have common things like sandwich bags, aluminum foil, Saran Wrap etc. not a huge deal but would be a nice touch as other places I’ve rented have a stock of those types of things.
