Tahoe Alpenglow Properties - Truckee, California

We recently stayed at the Lyons den with our family and small kids. It was around $1000 a night - absolute rip off.

The bathrooms had active mold and mildew growth, nails sticking out of the flooring (ouch when your two year old steps on it), the place was dirty and grimey - doesn’t appear like cleaning happens aside from a quick sweep. The kitchen pans had teflon flaking off, mis matches random utensils etc. not a great experience for the money we paid

On a positive note- The fire place was nice

Wouldn’t ever book or stay again.

My family and I had a great time/stay at Lyons Den! Big house with lots of space and kitchen had everything we needed. Kids loved the game room! I happen to misplace my college ring and Tahoe Alpenglow Properties found it and returned it! Awesome place and company.

We're a group of friends that were looking for a weekend in the snow without crowds and this place was perfect! Several people in our group had limited or no experience in the snow so it was great to give them an opportunity to play around in the snow like kids, without feeling self-conscious about doing so as adults.
The cabin was an ideal base for our weekend: easy to get to off of 80 with regular snow removal on the roads, clear instructions on how to check in/out, a well stocked kitchen with all of the utensils we needed to prepare the food we brought, and a spacious common area so we could all hang out together comfortably.

The fireplace unfortunately was labeled "please do not use" during our stay but it wasn't a necessary part of the heating and really would've only been for the aesthetic. Anyone planning on staying here during the winter should be advised that the upstairs bedroom stays colder than the rest of the house due to the way the heating system works, but those of us who stayed in that room (including myself) and the loft above it were comfortable sleeping there anyway thanks to the warm bedding provided.
The host included additional heaters in the bedrooms but we didn't feel the need to use them and I only mention it in case anyone sensitive to cold is considering staying here (in which case, choose the downstairs bedroom. Nice and toasty!)

The driveway comfortably fit two cars, a sedan and a crossover, and I imagine when it isn't surrounded by 10 foot walls of snow it could probably fit larger vehicles just fine but I was glad we didn't have a big truck in our group. It was a little difficult to find the driveway at first but only because of the snow pack. The exterior pictures of the cabin provided in the listing were a big help in making sure we were in the right place! I really appreciated the detailed instructions, especially when it came to how to use some of the appliances and what to do when checking out.
This was my first-ever experience staying at an AirBnB and it was excellent!

Our family and friends loved Vikings Ullr! Our kids spent lots of time in the game room loft and us adults loved the sauna on the back deck which had an amazing view! This home had everything we needed and the kitchen was perfect for cooking at the house. It was nice walking into a house that was warm (Chris had the heater turned up before we arrived) and had some lights on since we arrived at night. Huge thanks to Chris and Tahoe Alpenglow for the amazing trip!

We had a great stay at this property over the New Years Holiday. The location of the house was great with easy access to downtown Truckee as well as local ski resorts. There was plenty of space for our entire group and the downstairs room was a great space for the kids to hang out. Chris was a great host and super responsive to all of our inquiries. We had some weather issues and Chris was available throughout our original check-out date and helped facilitate us staying an additional night since we were unable to travel home due to closed roads. All in all, I would definitely recommend this cabin.

Bear Paw Pad is the perfect place to celebrate a birthday weekend. I rented this home for my girlfriend's birthday weekend. It was the perfect place for our friends, there was plenty of space and lots to do within the home. The basketball hoop, poker table, and other activities kept us busy and entertained. The home is fully equipped with everything you need to enjoy meals and comfort. There was a small issue with the garbage disposal but the maintenance person was there within the hour to fix it. There was just enough snow to enjoy, and easy access to and from the property. Highly recommend for family and friends. Would definitely rent this home again. Chris Beck was a great property manager. Thanks so much Chris

This apartment was perfect for our group of 7. Other than a slight hiccup with the bear bin, which Chris took care of immediately, we had an amazing time at this place. It had everything we needed for a great weekend skiing in Squaw and Alpine. The place was spotless upon arrival, and communication was stellar up until the end of our stay. We highly recommend this place and will be back!

We were two families sharing the house (Pine Cone Place) for a ski weekend. It was very nice to find the heat already on when we arrived, with the house warm and some lights on. Th house worked well for our needs. The kitchen was very well equipped, the beds comfy, and the pool table was a hit with the 14 year-olds. We would come again.
