THE LOCATION
This rental sits in a quiet neighborhood across from the Truckee Regional Park (under 1 mile) which offers a skate park, playground, large grassy area, volleyball courts, basketball courts, a disc golf course (seasonal) and music in the park (Wednesdays in the Summer). The Park also offers easy access to the beautiful Truckee River Legacy Trail, an all-season paved track (snow cleared in the winter) that winds along the Truckee River with a bridge over Martis Creek and is a popular trail for bikers, runners, dog walkers and families.
A few favorites include the Cottonwood Restaurant and Bar which offers eclectic cuisine in a classic ski lodge setting w/ outdoor seating overlooking downtown Truckee and bocce courts in the summer (walkable from the house through the woods if you are adventurous).
You’re also an easy walk or bike ride from downtown Truckee (1.1 miles). To start your day head to Drink Coffee Do Stuff and for a great meal out, try Moody’s Bistro & Beats, with music every Friday and Saturday, The Truckee Tavern (their cocktails are amazing!), grab some Taco's at Como (Tuesday is Taco Night!) or enjoy two great pizza options at Best Pies or Old Town Tap. The Rock, also 1.1 miles away, offers additional dining such as Fifty Fifty Brewing Company, Thai Delicacy, or Drunken Monkey a Sushi & Japanese eatery. And the Raley's O-N-E Market, Truckee’s newest grocery store, is just 1.3 miles away. You will find many specialty items here, a coffee shop, café with scrumptious sandwiches (great to order ahead for a grab and go) and a fabulous salad and hot food bar which you can eat in the upstairs lounge & bar!
For winter play, Squaw and Alpine is a quick 20 minutes away and Northstar is just under 7 miles. But not to be missed is the family owned Sugar Bowl Ski Resort, atop the summit only 14 minutes up highway 80. For XC style, check out Tahoe Donner, Northstar or Royal Gorge (also atop the summit).
For summer play, where to begin? There are miles and miles of trails behind Sierra Meadows and around Truckee/Tahoe. Truckee Bike (under a mile away) is a great spot to rent townies, mountain bikes and electric bikes. Go see Rachel and Dennis...they would be thrilled to set you up!
There is simply too much to list about this fabulous area and local services! But rest assured we will provide a recommendation for every need and desire to craft your perfect vacation.

Summary: Our stay at Shelly's gorgeous home in Truckee was fantastic. Shelly is a fantastic communicator. Check-in was a breeze and there are easy to follow instructions for everything in the home. The kitchen is very well designed and it was easy to cook in. The home is well appointed and has an artistic flair to it. It was super clean. We felt very much at home. Would go back in a heartbeat!

Summary: We very much enjoyed our stay! The house was just as pictured, very well stocked with all we needed (and we cooked a lot!), and Shelly and Todd were great hosts. We had one slight problem with a hive of yellow jackets on the back deck when we arrived and Shelly responded within minutes and had someone come out to take care of it within 90 minutes. We so appreciated how quickly and efficiently she took care of things from afar! I'd highly recommend a stay here.

Summary: We genuinely enjoyed our stay at Shelly’s house. The house was much better than the pictures and our stay was so cozy and relaxing, we were definitely very grateful to be able to spend several nights there. The backyard was amazing and our pup really enjoyed spending the time there, as well as us. The neighborhood is so friendly and enjoyable for walking our pup, I got to meet some of the neighbors who greeted us, so kind of them… one of them had the “little Truckee ice creamery” truck which is our favorite ice cream in the area :-). We can’t wait to go back and spend more time at Shelly’s house and thank you so very much again Shelly and Todd.

Summary: The house was perfect for our group of 3 couples. All beds were super comfortable, even the Murphy bed we slept on. Good sized great room and dining table were perfect for NYE dining and our son's proposal to his (now) fiance! Very well equipped kitchen and pantry items made it easy to cook full meals w/ ease. Host Shelley was an excellent communicator She alerted me to a small glitch the day of our arrival but mobilized a contractor to take care of the big issue (toilet) and we had no issues at all with it. She also had a work-around for the balky front door lock. Although we didn't have snow until day of departure, the super smart mudroom made shedding coats and shoes easy and warm (it's heated!!). It was really a great stay in a quiet, lovely neighborhood and walkable to downtown which a number of us took advantage of.

Summary: Husband, dog & I spent 2.5 glorious days here. As far as attention to detail, these owners did it right. The home has everything you'll need! It is clean & so comfortable! Amazing location--close to town, restaurants & hiking paths. The fenced yards are great & our dog Max loved romping around in the snow. NOTE to potential renters: the owners have a Nest thermostat connected to their WIFI so they're in charge of the heat. You can override the settings temporarily. We didn't fully understand this until a day1/2 into our stay. It was very cold in Truckee & we prefer a 68–70-degree home. We noted when we'd set the thermostat to 70 in a few hours it was back to 55-60. I texted the owner to ask about this & she thought it strange this was happening. We went & bought a space heater so we'd have consistent heat. We were gone for a couple of hours our first day & came home to a 55-degree home. Texted owner again. She said she'd get her husband on it. Learned the owners have the thermostat reset to 60-65 degrees during the day since people go out & leave the thermostat on as they're enjoying their day. We were blown away to learn that the owners were controlling our comfort level. We can't be sure but we figure our rent covered the 2.5 days of heat we used. It wasn't until Sunday morning that we were promised 70-degree consistent heat until our departure on Monday. Perfect! Again, such a wonderful place to stay as long as you let the owners know your heating preferences.

Summary: The highlight of our stay was the backyard. We enjoyed sitting outside and visiting with our family, watching the dogs play and just quietly reading. The kitchen was wonderful, and we cooked in each evening. The neighborhood was quiet, friendly and we walked in the evening. We appreciated how clean the home was and the comfortable beds were a welcome site each night. If you are looking for a feeling of being at home while on vacation, this rental and location will meet your needs. Thank you for making our visit to see our friends and family so memorable.

Summary: This home is not only beautifully decorated, but also includes all the comforts of home plus an amazing yard. It is located very close to town which was so convenient. It was a perfect place to stay with my family and our dog. The owner was very attentive and accommodating. Thank you for opening up your home. We will definitely be back!

Summary: The house was perfect for us. Very cute rustic chic decor. We loved sitting out by the fire pit and enjoying the stars. Most rentals have very few cooking utensils and seasonings for cooking, but this house is the exception. It had everything we needed to make a meal. The host was very helpful and gave us lots of recommendations of things to do.
