Stayed 2 nights with family to attend some celebratory events in nearby Truckee. Location very central and convenient. Condo was clean and decent size for 2 kids/2adults. Would rated 4 stars relative to the price point for the summer. Had to drop to 3 stars due to the condition of the 2 beds. Basically felt like a hammock.

The mice drops under the kitchen sink. Besides that the lodge was in good condition. Going places they have the shuttle service but you need to call, wait, go, do your thing, call again, wait again, return. No many choices to eat (only the one place open on the resort) otherwise need to drive somewhere, which is not convenient. The property grounds are really amazing, the lodge in itself really good.

Our room was ok, but the tv stopped working while we were there and the fan in the bathroom was broken so it made a loud sound when we turned it on. There was a used hair brush under the sink, so that was pretty gross. Just for next time, please clean under the sink area. It's nice being close to all the shops, though, so I really enjoyed that!
