Freezer stopped working, couldnât use oven as I had to pair it to phone but was not left with instructions and apartment was cold since window was left open.
The lodge itself was quaint and situated in a good location. Checking in and out was easy and the online description was close to our experience. The overall layout of the place was exactly as expected. Super close to Tahoe Palisades and Truckee. That was great!!The kitchen fell a bit short with its cleanliness. The glasses, mugs, and pots had leftover food/oil stuck to them. We made sure to wash every item before using it. The cleaning staff likely did not look closely regarding this and it was a bit off putting. They had two toasters, a coffee grinder, and a coffee maker (it worked, but was slightly broken). You had to hold the lid down on the carafe for the coffee to pour and the handle to stay attached. Also, mice traps out in the kitchen weren't something I was expecting, but I know we are out in a woodsy area.The family room had a nice amount of space. The sofa was pretty worn out, which made sitting on it a little less comfy than it could've been. But we didn't spend too much time there. They also had fur throw pillows and a furry throw. The bedding seemed to have been laundered beforehand. Beware of the pillows. Might be a good idea to bring your own for a good nights rest. The towels were plentiful and put out throughout the rooms for all the guests. That was convenient. Every sink had hand soap too. Other than that, it was a decent stay based on where it's located and how many it accommodated.

We loved the location and ease of this property. Kitchen was well stocked, but if you cook a ton, bring your seasonings.
Beds were very comfortable, the coach was not as much. We would have loved to use the fireplace, but there didnât appear to be a way to use it.
We did enjoy the place and it fit the 2 families very well!
