Summary: Our stay at the Hillside Haven for seven nights was very relaxing. It is a house in a quiet neighborhood of Truckee with very easy access to Lake Tahoe and many other areas. The management company was excellent. I liked that the living area was upstairs and that there were pretty views of the forest and mountains and a cross breeze on warm days. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. It was exactly what we needed at a reasonable price. We were also traveling with mountain bikes, so having a garage was very helpful. Also, there was plenty of cleaning products, paper products and I loved that we could do laundry there. We did not have to run out for any paper or cleaning supplies while we were there, which I really appreciated and have had to do at other rentals. The only comfort suggestion I would make, was if there could be more comfortable seating in the living room and deck. The couch was usually fought over. No one wanted to sit in the antique chair and the deck wooden chairs were hard and uncomfortable, so we didn't sit out there much. Otherwise all was perfect!
