Nice, well kept home. Great for families. Plenty of cooking and preparation space. Nice, spacious indoor and outdoor gathering areas.

Overall the property was clean and as pictured. While there weren't any structural concerns, cosmetically, the furnishings have seen some wear and a few need attention. Carpet in the main closet seemed to have been patched with multiple types of similar carpet, kitchen cabinetry needs a fresh coat of paint, the oven and cooktop knobs had the references worn off (so you weren't sure what temp you were turning the dial to.) We did appreciate the convenience of having coffee, tea, honey, spices, and the bathrooms outfitted with shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and lotion.
Location was pretty good - just outside the Northern resort. Short drive to Kings Beach and Truckee with plenty of options to gather goods, dine, and shop.

Thank you again for staying with us, and we hope to welcome you back for an even better experience in the future!
on our first night at the property, i had brought some nice steaks to BBQ, only to find when ready to grill that the propane tank was empty. we had to borrow a tank from a friendly neighbor. this was the first of several items that should be an easy fix when getting property ready for next guests, but wasn't. other items were there was no laundry detergent, and two of the bathrooms didn't have hand soap. the location was great as you could walk to the village (i only know this from a neighbor, it isn't listed in the property book) and the two decks are nice.

Hi Tifani, we shared your review with the homeowner, who would like to respond with the following:
-During your stay in early August, we experienced a series of unforeseen challenges, including a town-wide power outage. To address these issues, we reached out to Evolve, our property management company, for support. We acknowledge that many of the concerns you raised in your review were accurate, and we sincerely appreciate your understanding and patience during this time.
-While we did have soap available, it may not have been sufficient to meet your expectations. Since then, we have implemented new protocols to ensure all supplies are fully stocked so future guests won't face similar issues.
-We want to emphasize that we made every effort to be responsive to your requests throughout your stay, and addressed your needs promptly. However, the main challenge was that we were in the middle of transitioning property managers at the time.
-We genuinely value your feedback and are committed to ensuring future guests have a more seamless and enjoyable experience.
Thank you for taking the time to leave your review.
Altogether a great stay. Nice house, well equipped.
I'd given 4.5 stars if I could. There were a couple of drawbacks, relatively minor, but I'm someone who feels 5 stars is for a perfect experience.
The manager was very responsive to our one outreach.
The community center was an excellent place to relax and burn some additional energy after snow activities.
This home was great, we had 6 people stay comfortably! It was a very cozy home and very close to Northstar where we skied and snowboarded. Enjoyed watching 3 feet of snow fall while sitting by the fireplace watching TV and playing cards.
