Recent Truckee guest reviews

Great location across parking lot from gondola and ski trail. Only cons were a lot of steps, both up and down to reach the unit from the parking lot and horrible shower head. Unit was easy to find and check-in; TV set-up is a bit wonky with main volume adjustable using the DVD player.

We stayed for a weekend with 2 pups and 4 adults. The place is quiet and clean. Has some good amenities like a full set of dryer/washer and a pretty good dishwasher. Some of the pans have some heavy scratching of the non-stick so you may want to bring your own but the kitchen is pretty well stocked which is nice. The hot water never ran out even with 4 people which is rare for Tahoe so that's a big plus. Bathrooms are clean and lots of towels. The only negative I have was that in the 2nd bedroom, the heater vent rattles when it's on. Shifting the dampers didn't really do anything to stop the air from blowing directly at your head so I woke up with a dry throat every morning and it was a bit hard to fall asleep. Maybe rotate the pillow to the end of the bed instead if you're a light sleeper like me. Overall it was a pretty good stay and would come here again.

The house is enormous, well kept and tidy. Sauna on the ground floor is a great feature. Will visit again.

Where is Truckee, CA?

Conveniently located near Interstate 80 and historic Donner Pass, Truckee is perhaps the most easily accessed Tahoe California town. Crystal blue views of Donner Lake (which has both public and private docks) welcome travelers as they approach from the west. Truckee rests just a few miles away from the state’s border with Nevada and north of Lake Tahoe, making it a perfect home base to sample all the area has to offer.

Among these facilities are pools, spas, numerous sports courts, and more. Guests must present their member passes for access, and four people per pass will be admitted. Please note that a small fee is required to use some of the amenities. In summer, bring the clubs: in addition to the Tahoe Donner Golf Course, there are no less than 13 golf courses around Truckee.
