We loved our trip at this cabin, however we got off to a rough start due to a few different things.
The house temperature was in the 20's when we arrived. So cold that the toilet water was frozen. Someone had come by the cabin to turn on the gas heater just before our arrival and tracked snow all throughout the cabin with no attempt to clean up after themselves. We attempted to use the oven for dinner that night and whoever had cooked in their prior did not clean the bottom of the oven, so when we were preheating it smoke started coming out due to the oil burning on the bottom.
The cabin has a nice wood burning stove to heat the downstairs portion of the cabin, however since the cabin temperature was so cold when we arrived it took a long time to build a fire hot enough to push all the cold air out of the chimney so the smoke was entering into the cabin instead of out the chimney. Needless to say, every item we brought with us smells like smoke from the woodstove and the oven.
With that said, I contacted the staff to remedy the toilet and smoke issues upon our arrival, and the staff was helpful and we resolved the issues. I do however think that all these problems are easily avoidable if they clean a little better between guests, and prep the cabin earlier for new guests arriving in the winter.
All in all, this cabin is in a great location and gives you everything you need for a stay in Truckee. Also the hot tub on the back deck is a very nice feature!
