We arrived at night and it was not the easiest to find. The layout does not provide a lot of privacy with the main bed being in the loft space. The cleaning products stored in the kitchen made the whole kitchen smell very chemically. The kitchen was also not conducive to cooking, as it is very small. Overall, we made it work, but we checked out a day early and it's not a property we would return to.

Perfect rental for our family of 3 and dog

The rental was very clean and updated very nicely. The location was great for us as we were visiting with friends in Truckee, Tahoe and Reno. The unit was super quiet and peaceful. The check in process was easy and directions given to us were helpful. We came for just a short trip and didn't have time to check out the pool or hot tubs. We will definitely want to stay at this property again and I don't have anything to critique about the rental. Thanks for having us!
