The best cabin in Truckee!

Our stay was incredible. The location of the house is perfect-close to downtown Truckee and 20 minutes from Northstar ski resort. The house was perfect for our two families of 4 and plenty of room to play and great toys and games. The house is beautiful and hot tub was a huge hit with the kids. Andy was the most hospitable host. My family will definitely be coming back!

Excellent hosts; amazing home and experience!

The hosts were fantastic communicators; even though they were several time zones away, they made sure ahead of time we knew how to reach them, etc. The house and property were beautiful and highly functional. We had two families - 4 adults and 3 kids (5-6 years old) and we all loved it. Great kitchen, comfortable living space, cozy bedrooms, and wonderful extras - hot tub, steam shower, etc. Highly recommend this VRBO.

Great winter getaway

Excellent home in a winter wonderland! Quiet easily accessible neighborhood, close to downtown Truckee, Northstar, and Boreal. Excellent host anticipating all of our needs and extremely responsive in the middle a major storm front that dropped 3ft of snow. Their hospitality made our Holiday vacation comfortable and memorable. Home comfortably sleeps 8 as advertised. Lots of room for dinning and lounging!

Spectacular Home!

This place is tremendous! We had the pleasure of staying here for a family get away. We loved how convenient it is to any mountain on the north side. The view of Northstar from the hot tub is fantastic. Watching a film in the surround-sound equipped living room was wonderful. Comfortable beds. Cozy fire place. Incredible master suite. No detail has been left out. This home is amazing!

Fantastic home - easy access to everything!

How does one really review a perfect place, wonderful owners, great access to everything? With 5-stars, of course! Would give more if we could. Andy and Amber were absolutely wonderful hosts, even checking in with us when a big storm was approaching to offer assistance if needed. The highlights of the home for us included lots of living space, great dining area, steam shower (ahhhhhh), hot tub on the deck, comfy beds, and privacy. The location of the home in Truckee meant easy access to every ski resort we love (we went to a different one each day!), a short drive to Safeway and wonderful restaurants in downtown Truckee. If you're looking for a great place in the area, we wholeheartedly recommend this great home that has really delightful owner/hosts.

Elizabeth and her family were great guests! They were very easy to communicate and work with! Having rented our house for a week over New Years, I’m always a little nervous about what condition the home will be in. But when we arrived, it was literally like no one had stayed here! They left everything nice and tidy! We would host them again in a heartbeat!

White Christmas

This property was perfect for our family (all adults). Andy is a great host who attends to every detail and responds immediately to any communication. We stayed over Christmas and were delighted by the ceiling height (tall!) Christmas tree, and other festive touches including outdoor Christmas lights, especially on the Grizzly. The house is very comfortable and welcoming, I particularly loved the little sunroom downstairs where I could read and watch the snow fall. And everyone should try the hot tub while it’s snowing! Overall, this was one of our best Christmas holidays, we all had a wonderful time. Thank you Andy and Amber.

The Best White Christmas!

This was an awesome trip! The house is phenomenal. Very comfortable for our group of 4 adults/2 kids. The hot tub was awesome after a day of snowboarding. The neighborhood is great. The owner was extremely communicative and helpful. We got snowed in and the neighborhood lost power for half a day during a large storm, but the wood burning stove kept us very warm and toasty. I will definitely be coming back!

Best house ever!!

My girlfriends and I stayed at the Finch’s beautiful home for my 40th birthday, and we couldn’t have had a better time! From even before securing the booking, they were super helpful and accommodating. The home was just as we expected it from the pictures. We even talked about it on the way home; how not only was the home beautiful, comfortable, and in a great location, it just has a really positive energy throughout! Cool art, great deck, and all the neat touches inside and out! Great sound system too! Our only regret was that we didn’t book more nights!

Perfect Family Getaway

With everything going on right now, my family and I have been needing to get out of town and just find a place to relax and this house was exactly what we needed. The house is in such a great location with privacy and the views were spectacular. My 8 yr old daughter absolutely loved all the amenities (swing, sandbox, ping pong table, bunk beds) and was super sad we had to leave. The hot tub and grill were a HUGE hit and we literally only left the house to go to the store. The owner Andy was so helpful and easy to get a hold of, I was never left trying to figure out anything for longer than a minute. The Finches were very welcoming and made my family feel right at home. I only hope that all of my rentals going forward are as friendly and accommodating as Andy was. If I could give 10 stars I would! I definitely RECOMMEND this property!!!

Idyllic spot

This home is immaculate and welcoming from the second you arrive. And for us, with an infant and a toddler, having a full crib made a huge difference. The grounds outside are almost too good to be true - so much kid-friendly space for a range of ages! We almost didn’t need to leave the property, but of course we tackled several hikes (and have Andy our host to thank for amazing recs). This space far exceeded our expectations and we made fantastic memories as a family. Thank you Andy and Amber for your hospitality!

About the host

Hosted by Andy and Amber Finch

Host profile image
Andy and I have been married over 17 years, we have two bundles of joy, Amiya Joy who is 7 years young and her older brother Asher Josiah who is 10. We enjoy traveling, some for pleasure, some for work, but we are gone enough to rent out our house, though Truckee will always be our home base. Andy used to compete in snowboarding halfpipe, he went to the 2006 olympics! He now does odds and ends jobs, rental management, construction, commentating at ski and snowboard events, guest coaching, motivational speaking, boat captain on Tahoe, whatever! I am a full time mom, but also do commissioned artwork, work with a whole foods company, teach some cooking classes and teach spin and yoga classes. We are both very involved in our church and community. Our favorite activities to enjoy together are mountain biking and wakesurfing. Andy also loves surfing, snowmobiling, snowboarding, skateboarding. I love cross country skiing, running, horseback riding, cooking, and road biking. Our two little ones already snowboarded, paddleboarded, skateboarded, haha, they are going to be extreme like their parents! We love hosting guests and activities at our house and have the perfect home for it, and that is why we know you will love it too!
Don't hesitate to ask about scheduling your private charter on Surf Tahoe with Captain Andy with a nice discount for staying at the Grizzly Home.

Why they chose this property

As a professional snowboarder Andy had always wanted to live and train in the Lake Tahoe area (he grew up in Fresno, CA). He lived at home in order to save enough to buy this home in Truckee 20 yrs ago. I grew up in Colorado and ended up at school in southern california, i wanted to get back to the mountains and ended up in Truckee, we both love it here and will always have it as our home.

What makes this property unique

Andy loved how open the house is, and the floor plan is an awesome unique layout, with the fire stove running from the bottom floor to the top, so heating is very efficient. There is also a big flat driveway which is pretty essential in the winter time. There are great views and the spacious lot makes it feel like you are truly in the mountains. The location is very central and ideal for Truckee being close to town, the river, Old Greenwood golf course, Ski resorts and getting more sun than any other area in town (we are in the sunbelt).
