Great Truckee Home

Felt Like Home, Only Better!

The layout was perfect for our group and the backyard was beautiful! We found ourselves wishing we had an extra day just to enjoy it more. The location was super convenient and the customer service was impeccable. They were always quick to respond to our questions and were accommodating to our needs. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in Truckee! Thank you!

Fantastic Stay in Truckee - would absolutely return

We had a fantastic stay at this house in Truckee! I'm generally very cautious about booking VRBOs that are company-managed (vs. individually managed), however I was *extremely* happy with the Tahoe Signature Properties' communication and all over management. The house was much bigger than I thought it would be, was spotless, had all the spices we could want, and was all around fantastic. We only wish there was a hot tub! The location was great and right near both downtown Truckee & the highway (extremely easy to get to Palisades). The management was very accommodating as your plans changed and very helpful in case issues came up (none did).Overall great stay and would definitely return!

Very Comfortable and Convenient Location

What a wonderful home. We were up visiting for a week. Husband/I worked remotely in the home while son attended an overnight camp in Palisades. We were also up for a sports tournament which lead us to North Tahoe Fields as well as Truckee high. We were centrally located to both. Home is perfect to hang out in while on vacation and also provided plenty of space to be able to work remotely if needed. Neighborhood was quiet and very convenient to stores, restaurants, and walking accessibility was great. House was very clean and inviting. Would definitely stay again.
