We had a wonderful time! The house was perfect for our family to relax and spend time together. The loft area was very comfortable, and the kitchen was very well stocked. The high ceilings and design of the place are wonderful. We loved going for walks right in the neighborhood, and it was an easy drive to Sugarbowl for skiing. We hope to come back!

This house is very unique and artistic! We loved the owner's fun style. The house was cozy and in a great location and the check in was easy. The cleaning fee is pretty expensive so we were surprised they wanted us to not only wash our sheets towels and dishes but also put them away and we thought that was excessive given the cleaning fee. The house has some windows and doors that don't open and it was very hot when we were there so it would be good for those to get fixed and if you plan to go when it's hot just know there is no air conditioning. The house advertises to sleep 9 but the upper loft is only accessible with a pull down ladder and only a railing not a wall on two sides so this would not be safe for little kids but it's super cool and we loved the full design. Overall we enjoyed it very much and would stay again!

Beautiful house with a great location. Only issues we found were that the house got really hot when we were sleeping and the "guest" bathroom downstairs didn't have a curtain on the window so you could see into it a little bit from outside up the hill. Otherwise a really great place

We enjoyed it a lot. Comfortable house, more than large enough for our family of four. Backyard was excellent for sledding and playing in the snow.

We had fun as a family relaxing in this beautiful home. We were inundated by snow during our visit and the house was cozy in the weather. The kitchen was well provisioned and the house had everything we needed. This is in a great location. We hope to return in the future.

Set up the hill from town we loved the interior style and cool plan of the house, really nice views, if you end up there during big snow storms as we did it takes a bit of digging to make a path to house but the view is so worth it!

We had a great time in this beautiful home! Truckee is a gorgeous, peaceful town. The neighborhood was quiet and the views from the home were perfection. My family went for skiing and the nearby resorts were excellent. The home was clean, and tastefully decorated/designed. Scot was an excellent host, and easy to communicate with.

Stylish, comfortable, modern, convenient location
Two families plus an au pair and a dog were comfortable during our week at the house with great views of the Tahoe Donner downhill ski area. Kitchen was well-equipped and we were especially impressed that there were Heath Ceramics dinner plates. House is an open A-frame floor plan, so although the young kids were in the loft at the top, they complained that the adults were too loud for them to fall asleep. But overall a great space to fit everyone in our group. The beds were also really comfortable and I slept better there than I do at home. Bathrooms were fine but haven't been updated as much as the rest of the house. Hot water in the shower was sensitive when others were using hot water at the same time. Perfect location for skiing Tahoe Donner - only 5 minutes to the downhill resort area where the kids took lessons and walkable to the cross-country resort area.

Very well appointed house
Overall, our experience with the house and owner was very good. We weren't able to stay at the house for the entire duration of the reservation due to the significant snow storms / road closures but once we got to the property, the house was very well appointed and had anything you could have needed. In general, everything was very clean and well maintained. The owner was responsive in communication and worked with us as we were trying to confirm arrival dates based on weather/accessibility. Would stay at house again.

Nice to find a property that worked bedding wise as we have big kids now. Likewise a place that accommodates pets and found the patio space ideal. The views of the mountains while gathering with family is what we’ll remember the most.

Beautiful getaway for the family
The property was better than we expected. Beautiful and clean. The house had everything we needed and more. It was the perfect size for my family—including our dog! The location was excellent. Quiet, picturesque neighborhood that was close to all the outdoor activities we palmed to do. Our only wish was we had more time to spend here. Great hosts with clear instructions.

Beautiful and serene Truckee home
Scot's beautiful and uniquely designed Truckee home was very clean and fully stocked with all the kitchen amenities one could want. The home is situated in a very quiet area of Carpenter Valley in Truckee with amazing views which allowed for quiet moments of relaxation and reflection. We were lucky enough to see a deer grazing on the grass just beyond the balcony area. Simply lovely. We absolutely recommend staying at Scot's beautiful, clean and serene home.

Scot, thanks for letting me stay at your property. The views are amazing. A couple of comments:
I think I recommend is perhaps new paint in the rooms and bathrooms, and change the color of the carpet in the downstairs bedrooms. The rooms look gloomy and dark, and a lighter color on the floors might add light in the rooms.
The kitchen needs more pans. There was only one available.
There were several lights out, but since it was only me staying at the house, I managed.
You have an awesome property with an awesome view. And the vast trails area close to the house make it a fun place to be, for running, walking, hiking, cycling.
Thanks again!

Perfect place for a family mountain getaway
This home is truly something special. It's beautifully designed inside and out, and overlooks miles of vast, pine-covered mountains. Scot has done an incredible job thinking through how to accommodate many people comfortably in this clean, updated place. There was a snaffu with the cleaning service when we arrived, and Scot responded to our message immediately. He quickly resolved the entire situation and ensured that my husband, daughters and I had a wonderful stay in his beautiful home. Highly recommend, we will definitely be back!

Scot's energy efficient house is awesome! It was great for a group of 6 adults. The deck has great views of the south and west providing great sun throughout the day and excellent sunsets. We stored our bikes on the deck each day/night. The mountain biking can be accessed right from the house via a 5 min road ride to the trailhead. We would love to come back some day soon! Re: Working remotely. The internet speed is fast for those who had to work (all 6 of us at one point). 2 people can take conference calls in the house at any given time, maybe 1 more if you utilize the bedrooms. There is 1 desk to use, and we setup a temporary desk in one of the bedrooms using a dresser.
