General overview
Our townhome is welcoming and comfortable. I love that it is surrounded by natural beauty with mountains, lakes, forests and wildlife.
There are many amenities in our neighborhood including hiking and biking trails, swimming pools, hot tubs, a golf course, tennis and pickleball courts and more. Some of these amenties are available for a daily guest fee.
Also, the town of Truckee is a charming mountain town with many restaurants, grocery stores, other specialty shops and several lakes and resevoirs nearby.
Lake Tahoe is a 30 minute drive and is not to be missed. Reno NV is about 30 minutes away as well.
The space
Entry is on the first floor where there are two bedrooms, 1 with a kingsize bed, and the other with a bunk bed (bottom is full size, top is twin). There is also a full bathroom (with bathtub and shower) and laundry room.
Upstairs includes a bedroom, with a queen size bed, a bathroom with shower, a full kitchen and a living/dining room with smart TV.
On the third floor is a loft with a sofa that converts to a full size bed and small desk. There are also books, toys and games. We also have 3 decks, one at the entryway, another off the king size bed and one off the main living area.
Guest access
To enter our home there are a few steps to get to our deck. Inside, our home has two sets of stairs, one of which is necessary to get to the main living area.
I would not think our home would be a good choice for people who would have difficulty navigating the stairs.
Notes
One of our 4WD cars may be available if needed.

Although I didn’t meet Sandy and Nancy in person for their short stay at my condo , I feel like I did as our communication was very good and they kept me updated on their plans . They treated my home as their own , and made sure to leave it in the condition they found it . I was glad to host PLU members that were visiting local family , and their stay tied in nicely with their extended trip . Sandy and Nancy were easy and uncomplicated guests , do not hesitate to host them if they come knocking ! -
Nancy, Sandy, and their nephew were great guests and left the house in perfect condition. Nancy and I communicated frequently prior to the exchange and then I was able to seamlessly hand off communications to my mother-in-law, who lives in the house being exchanged. I was out of town during this exchange period, but heard nothing but good things about Nancy from my mother-in-law. I appreciate Nancy for taking care of our house, as we would hers. We look forward to staying at Nancy's place! -
Thank you, Esther. Wendy was awesome, welcoming, warm and friendly. She waited for us the evening of our arrival and showed us around the house and explained any little quirks. We felt so comfortable with her and in the house. Such a warm, cozy home!. We look forward to your visit in Truckee.

This is our first part of our hospitality exchange. Sandy and Nancy are just awesome! Even though we have never met before, it feels like long lost friends. We had some nice long conversations and shared life experiences. We enjoyed their stay so much that we have scheduled our next exchange! We look forward to visit them in California soon!! -
Sandy and Nancy were great guests and very easy to communicate with. They stayed in my house for over a month and were respectful and courteous. They left it very clean and took excellent care of my house.

Sandy & Nancy
We are retired and love to travel, meet new people and learn about new cultures and places. For the last few years we've spent winters in Baja. Nancy was a chiropractor and I was a birth and postpartum doula. We are now doing our first home exchange and have a hospitality exchange on the books. We have done short-term, ski lease and long-term renting. When we do exchange it will likely be just the two of us. We do have adult children, grandchildren and some close friends with who we occassionally travel. We offer our 3 bed, 2 bath townhome in Truckee CA, USA near Lake Tahoe in N. California. Our region, in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, is truly a 4 season destination with almost unlimited outdoor activities.
