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.

Fantastic property & hosts

This home is exceptional for families with elementary school-aged children, fun amenities for adults and children! Lots of games & toys, plus, HOT TUB! Hosts were incredible in helping us to navigate our travel home in the middle of a snowstorm, interstate closures, etc...in the end we were all very comfortable and safe despite challenging weather!

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!

About the host

Hosted by Andy and Amber Finch

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).
