Anniversary get away

Enjoyed our stay. House is quaint, and comfortable. Nice fenced yard for the dogs. Front and back porch comfortable for relaxing but could have been swept and cleaned a bit.

Didn't Live Up to the Hype

We booked this place based on the charming pictures, positive reviews, and claims that the cabin was "immaculate." Unfortunately, that was not the case for us. When we first arrived, we were met with a pool of water on the kitchen floor that was coming from the refrigerator, which was stocked with smelly, out of date food items. Yuck! Took pictures and sent them to the owner who informed us that had happened once before, but never while he was there. Okay. The next day my husband was grabbing a mug from the kitchen cabinet and was showered with gloppy old, red wine. Gross! Some clown had put red wine in a mug and just left it in the cabinet. One nice pair of pants ruined and a disgusting mess to clean up! We informed the owner and the response was "Guess I'll have to paint sooner than expected." Really? The kitchen itself is in dire need of updating. The linoleum was literally peeling back from the floor. The guest bedroom in the picture shows two regular-sized queen beds. In reality, one of the beds is only about a foot off the ground, just a mattress with no box-spring. Weird. Our entire family got really sick while staying there, most likely due to the fact that the place was not properly cleaned. One positive aspect is the location and large backyard for kids and pets. Other than that, I don't understand all of the positive reviews. This place needs a lot of work.

Great Stay!

We had a great stay at this property! Nice cozy home in a lovely area. The backyard is super nice and our family and dogs loved romping around in the freshly fallen snow. The beds are super comfy. Great location in quiet neighborhood, close to Truckee and Northstar. Looking forward to staying here again!

About the host

Hosted by Kevin O'Gara

Kathleen & I have been married for 33 years & we have been visiting Truckee at least twice a year for over 30 years. When the opportunity arose to purchase a property here, we did not hesitate. We absolutely love Truckee & the surrounding areas. There are so many activities to particiate in here (all year round) that I cannot begin to list them. We try to visit as often as possible and hope to one day live here full time.

Why they chose this property

We chose Truckee because it offers so much, during every season. We really enjoy the Glenshire neighborhood because of the location and peaceful feeling the area has.

What makes this property unique

The Glenshire neighborhood is wonderful, very quiet and a great location. The home itself is modest but offers so much to visitors. There is wildlife everywhere from a herd of deer that wanders through the back yard to squirrels & rabbits (to mention a few). There are decks on the front & rear of home, that allow for bbq's and family time.
