At the beginning of Alpine Meadows road, you will find the River Ranch, which is a great spot for dining, happy hour, live music, and watching people flow down the Truckee River in the summer time. You will also find a shopping center with a small cafe.
The closest super market is either SaveMart in Truckee or Safeway in Tahoe City. Downtown Truckee is 11 miles away and offers a ton of restaurants, shopping, bars, locale events, and more.

There is the TART, public transportation, which is a great option if you do not want to drive, and you can take this almost all over the valley and around Lake Tahoe. During the winter, we do have a local shuttle that can pick you up at the door and take you to the ski resort.
NO STREET PARKING IN THE WINTER MONTHS. YOU WILL GET TOWED AT YOUR OWN EXPENSE.

Very Good !! Great place!

The house was amazing and the hosts were very helpful! Would definitely book again.
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Feb 2025
The house was very spacious and plenty of room for the 10 of us. Kristine was very responsive to our questions when preparing for our trip. When we arrived the power was off (and had been for about 24 hours). We were contacted by phone and were advised about options should the power not be restored - fortunately, it was restored. Probably would not stay there again due to the number of stairs to get to the front door. Here are a couple of suggestions: 1) supply pot holders in the kitchen; 2) the owners labeled many of the drawers and cabinets in the kitchen as to what should be placed in each - very few items were stored as suggested by the labels. I think it would be nice to have things where they belong for future renters (we tried to place items in their appropriate drawers/cabinets before we left); 3) we could not get the TV in the game room to work.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Feb 2025
The intro picture of this house shows a long staircase, but that is the only indication that the two story staircase is the only access to the house. In winter that is difficult with luggage. The house is set at 55 degrees per California rules, but it takes well over a day for most of the house to get to 72. There is one thermostat, so several of the rooms are not getting to 72. And shortly after 9pm the default resets the temperature to 55. They indicate 4 parking spaces, but the garage is treacherous. Very narrow entry for two spaces with a (likely) weight bearing pole between the two parking spaces. With the ice on the driveway, you have to gun the car to get into the garage, hoping not to hit anything. The living space is lovely, with lots of kitchenware. The management team was quite responsive, but didn't know some of the features of the house. The switches for lights in the house are complicated. Multiple ones regulate important areas, and there were times when you had to play with the different swtiches to get lights on. The bedrooms are all over the house with stairwells between them. Only one bedroom has a bathroom attached. That shower has issues, and the leak issues are dealt with by putting plastic runners over the leak areas. They need to actually fix it because when it does leak, it drips into a bedroom below. Overall, this house would be lovely for a large family to rent in the summer. It was not easy for a group of older skiers who have knee problems.
