About this property

Perfectly Appointed, Close to Downtown w/ Summer Backyard Oasis & Hi Speed Wifi

This 3BR/2BA ranch style home sits in the quiet, treelined neighborhood of Sierra Meadows, just 1.1 miles to downtown Truckee. Enjoy the privacy of a large landscaped & fully fenced front and backyard or gather by the custom fire pit and tell stories under the stars.

Rustic-eclectic décor, high end linens, bedding, warm hardwood floors, and an open living concept to gather with friends and family. This is a delightful retreat for your alpine getaway.

The kitchen features granite countertops, a 6 burner Thermador stove and is outfitted with every kitchen gadget desired including an Instapot, Crockpot, Rice Maker, Cusinart, VitaMix, Fondue Pot and Espresso Maker.

This rustic, ranch style, single family home sleeps up to six guests in three bedrooms.
The master bedroom has a queen bed, french doors to a private courtyard (seasonal), and an efficient en-suite bathroom with walk-in shower featuring two rain style shower heads, perfect for relaxation and warming after a day on the slopes.

The second bedroom also has a queen bed and the third bedroom features a double bed, both with french doors offering serene views and access to the backyard. A bathroom with a tub/shower combination sits across the hall.

Head to the front covered porch with seating to enjoy coffee or the bi-level back deck/patio to sip a glass of wine at the fire pit or share a homemade meal at the custom farm table under a covered deck with bistro lights. There is also a large gas BBQ, ping pong table and steel tip dartboard. (Fire pit, Backyard Outdoor Furniture, Ping Pong Table and BBQ are not available in the winter months).

Guest amenities include complimentary hi speed Wi-Fi, a washer/dryer, and parking for a maximum of 3 cars (no garage access). We also offer a variety of games and books. This rental does not have air-conditioning. All French Door sets have a screen system and there is a mobile fan in each bedroom.

THE LOCATION
This rental sits in a quiet neighborhood across from the Truckee Regional Park (under 1 mile) which offers a skate park, playground, large grassy area, volleyball courts, basketball courts, a disc golf course (seasonal) and music in the park (Wednesdays in the Summer). The Park also offers easy access to the beautiful Truckee River Legacy Trail, an all-season paved track (snow cleared in the winter) that winds along the Truckee River with a bridge over Martis Creek and is a popular trail for bikers, runners, dog walkers and families.

A few favorites include the Cottonwood Restaurant and Bar which offers eclectic cuisine in a classic ski lodge setting w/ outdoor seating overlooking downtown Truckee and bocce courts in the summer (walkable from the house through the woods if you are adventurous).

You’re also an easy walk or bike ride from downtown Truckee (1.1 miles). To start your day head to Drink Coffee Do Stuff and for a great meal out, try Moody’s Bistro & Beats, with music every Friday and Saturday, The Truckee Tavern (their cocktails are amazing!), grab some Taco's at Como (Tuesday is Taco Night!) or enjoy two great pizza options at Best Pies or Old Town Tap. The Rock, also 1.1 miles away, offers additional dining such as Fifty Fifty Brewing Company, Thai Delicacy, or Drunken Monkey a Sushi & Japanese eatery. And the Raley's O-N-E Market, Truckee’s newest grocery store, is just 1.3 miles away. You will find many specialty items here, a coffee shop, café with scrumptious sandwiches (great to order ahead for a grab and go) and a fabulous salad and hot food bar which you can eat in the upstairs lounge & bar!

For winter play, Squaw and Alpine is a quick 20 minutes away and Northstar is just under 7 miles. But not to be missed is the family owned Sugar Bowl Ski Resort, atop the summit only 14 minutes up highway 80. For XC style, check out Tahoe Donner, Northstar or Royal Gorge (also atop the summit).

For summer play, where to begin? There are miles and miles of trails behind Sierra Meadows and around Truckee/Tahoe. Truckee Bike (under a mile away) is a great spot to rent townies, mountain bikes and electric bikes. Go see Rachel and Dennis...they would be thrilled to set you up!

There is simply too much to list about this fabulous area and local services! But rest assured we will provide a recommendation for every need and desire to craft your perfect vacation.

Family Event
The house was perfect for our group of 3 couples. All beds were super comfortable, even the Murphy bed we slept on. Good sized great room and dining table were perfect for NYE dining and our son's proposal to his (now) fiance! Very well equipped kitchen and pantry items made it easy to cook full meals w/ ease. Host Shelley was an excellent communicator She alerted me to a small glitch the day of our arrival but mobilized a contractor to take care of the big issue (toilet) and we had no issues at all with it. She also had a work-around for the balky front door lock. Although we didn't have snow until day of departure, the super smart mudroom made shedding coats and shoes easy and warm (it's heated!!). It was really a great stay in a quiet, lovely neighborhood and walkable to downtown which a number of us took advantage of.

Wonderful winter home!
Husband, dog & I spent 2.5 glorious days here. As far as attention to detail, these owners did it right. The home has everything you'll need! It is clean & so comfortable! Amazing location--close to town, restaurants & hiking paths. The fenced yards are great & our dog Max loved romping around in the snow. NOTE to potential renters: the owners have a Nest thermostat connected to their WIFI so they're in charge of the heat. You can override the settings temporarily. We didn't fully understand this until a day1/2 into our stay. It was very cold in Truckee & we prefer a 68–70-degree home. We noted when we'd set the thermostat to 70 in a few hours it was back to 55-60. I texted the owner to ask about this & she thought it strange this was happening. We went & bought a space heater so we'd have consistent heat. We were gone for a couple of hours our first day & came home to a 55-degree home. Texted owner again. She said she'd get her husband on it. Learned the owners have the thermostat reset to 60-65 degrees during the day since people go out & leave the thermostat on as they're enjoying their day. We were blown away to learn that the owners were controlling our comfort level. We can't be sure but we figure our rent covered the 2.5 days of heat we used. It wasn't until Sunday morning that we were promised 70-degree consistent heat until our departure on Monday. Perfect! Again, such a wonderful place to stay as long as you let the owners know your heating preferences.

August Truckee Visit
The highlight of our stay was the backyard. We enjoyed sitting outside and visiting with our family, watching the dogs play and just quietly reading. The kitchen was wonderful, and we cooked in each evening. The neighborhood was quiet, friendly and we walked in the evening. We appreciated how clean the home was and the comfortable beds were a welcome site each night. If you are looking for a feeling of being at home while on vacation, this rental and location will meet your needs. Thank you for making our visit to see our friends and family so memorable.

Wonderful house and close to town
The house was perfect for us. Very cute rustic chic decor. We loved sitting out by the fire pit and enjoying the stars. Most rentals have very few cooking utensils and seasonings for cooking, but this house is the exception. It had everything we needed to make a meal. The host was very helpful and gave us lots of recommendations of things to do.
