It was a nice location in Truckee. Walking distance to some places depending on your willingness to walk the hills!

I think that this homes shows better in person than photos. It is 3 floor home. Clean home, enough room for several people. Fully stocked kitchen, with pots, plates, cups, kitchen utensils etc. The only thing I wished it provided a little more extra blankets to be available for those unexpected nights that get colder. The beds were decent, no complaints. The bathrooms were all very nice & clean. They even provided little traveling shampoo bottles & soap for those that needed it. If we had not stayed there for work this would have a convenient home for my family to have stayed. The home has an electric fireplace in dining/living room and master bedroom. I would be happy to stay here again. Only 10 min driving downhill to downtown.

We booked this place starting with location. We were skiing Palisades but wanted to make sure we could get to friends near Old Greenwood and Northstar while also enjoying a couple of dinners downtown. This was the perfect location for all of that. Once we knew where, this condo stood out for looking modern and clean. A big bonus, especially given the storm that rolled in, was having the garage with interior access. Overall it was a great place to stay and we will definitely look to return.
All of that said, make sure to read the house rules before you go. They are all well-documented and therefore fair. But

Great property and very spacious for a group of 8 people. We can for a ski trip and had a great time. One downside is that some of the doors don’t have locks including the bathrooms. Also the management is VERY rigid on check in and check out times. We had a young 2 year old in the group and needed a bit more time for check out but they were extremely inflexible. So one star for customer service but other than that this property was great.

Beautiful house. Nice and clean.
It would have been nice to have AC during our summer visit but we would still stay here again.

We come to Truckee a couple times per year, and have developed a few downtown favorites. The cons is clean, has some partial views, a gorgeous master suite. AND we can easily walk downtown or to the Legacy Trail. Just love this place!!

The condo was very clean and fit our needs for the 6 of us. The location was great, near Northstar Ski resort, Lake Tahoe and downtown Truckee.
I wouldn’t recommend if you are traveling with younger children. The neighbor next door came and rang our door bell asking our kids who were just playing hide and seek to be quiet. This was at 7 pm. We thought that was a little excessive, as they were not being loud, just being children.
“Quiet” hours are at 10 pm.

We have stayed at this complex many times but never this particular unit. I do love the location, layout, amenities. Everything was great except the master bedroom mattress needs to be replaced. It’s hard as a rock and extremely uncomfortable. I also wish this complex offered recycling. It feels very odd to throw recyclable items in the trash. Other than that, would I stay here again yes but would ask if the mattress was replaced.
Thank you.

We rented this property for 6 nights. On the first night of our stay, roads into Tahoe were closed so we received a text from the management company the evening before saying we could not get into the rental on the 27th which we understood. We were able to drive into the area on the 28th but late on the 28th received another text that we could not get in until the 29th. We tried to be flexible and looked for a hotel even though we were already in Truckee and had to pay a very high rate to stay at the hotel. Late on the 29th we received another text that we couldn't get in until the 30th so we paid another high rate for a hotel in addition to the rent we were already paying for the rental. I had been texting a lot with the management company, Turnkey regarding the situation and ask for a refund for the nights we were not allowed to access the rental and they said they could only give us "future stay credit". I indicated I preferred a refund since it was them that would not allow us to access our rental and to offset the expensive hotels we had to stay in but just kept getting the same auto generated texts. I tried to call the management company Turnkey to discuss the situation in person. After talking to one staff who said they were not able to help us I asked to talk to a supervisor. After being on hold for 40 minutes I was disconnected. Texting appears to be the only way to contact the management company. Although we were given "future stay credit" using that credit will entail more expensive flights and car rentals. We we in Truckee and waiting to access the rental we booked months in advance so believe we should be entitled to a refund for the nights the Management company would not allow us to access the rental especially since we had to pay hundreds of dollars in hotel since they would not allow us to access it. Once we actually go to the property the property itself was nice.

We enjoyed our stay at this home, it had everything we need. The kitchen was well stocked, we were cooking meals and using the oven a lot. Beddings were comfy, it was a home away from home. In addition, Truckee is a very lovely town. Will definitely coming back in the future.

Lovely house for our family of 5 in a quiet area and close to bike/hike trail for kids. The house was equipped with everything we needed for our stay. Communication with PM was easy and the house was thoroughly cleaned before check in.

Having a garage to park was awesome. We only used the main floor however if we had more quests would have been perfect utilizing the top floor with 2 bdrms and another bath. This unit had everything we needed for a pleasant stay. All in all, there's nothing more I could have asked for.

Horrible experience! Tried to cancel 5 days in advance due to COVID. I get that part and I’m not upset about that.
Made the best of it and went on day 2 of the 4 day stay.
Arrived at 3:30 and turned around and left at 7:30!
Upstairs bedroom slider door latch was broken, none of the TV’s worked. After wasting an hour troubleshooting with someone from Turnkey…. a handyman was sent out to look at everything. We went to dinner and he let himself in. When we got back, we decided to leave altogether. There were NO INSTRUCTIONS on how the TV’s or remotes worked. We were afraid to turn them off for fear we could not get them back on. The AQI in Truckee was 350 (smoke) so there was nothing to do but watch TV.
The only way Turnkey staff will interact is by text…. Very inefficient!
WHAT A COLOSSAL WASTE OF MONEY! Will NEVER, EVER use VRBO / Turnkey ever again!

We have stayed many places in the Tahoe/Truckee area and this was by far thee nicest! Beautifully well maintained place with nice amenities! The fireplaces, large tub, patio area... the list goes on and on! The neighbors are super nice and friendly! There is some traffic noise during the day, but subsides at night!!

This property is beautiful and was perfect for four adults and two children. The kids loved the jacuzzi bathtub in the master bath. We loved the area. It’s close to many beautiful settings. The major downfall about this property: it was too hot, especially upstairs. Owners need to consider installing air conditioning.

If you are looking not to talk then this is the place for you. We had a complaint one night while watching the baseball game that we were too loud at 8:45 at night even though the neighbors across the way were playing loud music past 10:00. During our stay they sealed the driveway and were told that we needed to be off the driveway from 9:00-7:00 that day. We did as were told and left the entire day and came back after 8:00 that night and parked. The next morning we were woken up by the neighbor pounding on the door and verbally attacking me. We were not told that they didn't complete the work the day prior and needed to be out of the parking lot the next day as well. Again, we left for the entire day. What was supposed to be a fun family get away turned into nothing but stress. When we reached out to management, they apologized.

Overall my family and I had fun. The home was clean when we arrived. It was spacious, so we had enough room to seat around each other. Only issue we had was that their was no air conditioning. So 2 of the upper floor rooms did get hot during the day. Other than that it was fun

I needed to do some work in person with a business partner. We stayed at this great place and really enjoyed the layout for our work and for our overall stay. Very clean and nicely decorated. Had all items needed in kitchen and bathrooms. Only challenge was getting in -- but the property manager was extremely responsive on text.

Overall: I would give this house a 3.5/5. The house could use some fixing but the rental company (TurnKey) had great customer service. House: This house is in a nice neighborhood and very walkable to parks, a path, and a few restaurants (try 5050 Brewery, Drunken Monkey sushi, or Mountain Valley Meats [butcher shop] off Brockway Road!). This house was in decent condition but not exactly as was expected. The house was decently clean but a more thorough cleaning under the sofas and beds would have been appreciated. The toilet paper holders in 2 of 3 bathrooms were falling off the wall, which made them difficult to use. The water in the primary bathroom tub was lukewarm at best. We cooked almost all meals at the house and found the oven door incredibly hard to open (you really have to muscle it to open the door all the way) and the dishwasher door flops open, as though it needs to be levelled. There also appears to be tension between the owner/neighbors and the rental; we woke up one day to bags of garbage on our doorstep that we assume were wrongly placed in the neighbor's trash can in the bear locker and the neighbor's music/movies could be heard in the primary bedroom and living room late into the night. TurnKey team: The TurnKey team provided great customer service throughout our stay. When we arrived we found only 1 kitchen dish towel; we contacted the TurnKey team and they coordinated with us to drop off more towels. We let them know about the garbage that showed up on our doorstep and we coordinated both where it should go and scheduled an additional pick-up because the appropriate trash can in the bear locker was full.
