Charles and Joanne's home was really lovely. It fit our party of 8 perfectly and comfortably. Great stays are often about the details — this home smelled really nice all the time, it was set at the perfect temperature — we never had to touch the thermostat. The beds and pillows were extremely comfortable. The closet was stocked with pool towels and lots of comfortable throw blankets for everyone. Everything smelled freshly laundered...as sometimes you wonder if blankets are ever washed. The pool table, the big TV room, and the hot tub all kept the different ages in our group happy and occupied. The kitchen was very well stocked, and everything was in very good condition. I was impressed to see that the water filter on the fridge read "good" and not "replace." Details. The boot and glove dryers in the garage were a nice touch, and having an electric vehicle was a huge plus to have a charger at the house. Charles and Joanne are friendly, attentive, and responsive hosts. Would return!

Beautiful setting looking out at the trees. Loved the back deck area for grilling and eating outside. All the living areas were perfectly separated for our three small families to be together yet still have private space. The kitchen was well-appointed and spacious. The weather was quite hot (90s) the weekend we were there, and the downstairs stayed cool throughout the day. We went to the rec center pool a couple of blocks down the hill, and the kids had a lot of fun there. We would love to return someday!

Charles and Jo have an amazing place in Truckee, with all of the amenities you could want for a ski vacation. I met up with several friends and we cooked all of our meals in the well-stocked kitchen. The hot tub was amazing after skiing at Palisades. Safeway is about a 5 min drive away (and on the way to and from the ski hill) which was very convenient. Communication was great, the beds were super comfortable, and we really enjoyed playing pool and ping-pong. I would highly recommend this house and hope we can stay here again someday.
