Plumbing leak
Not sure how to contact the property host, but the master bedroom bathtub is leaking into the garage. We took showers in the master bathroom all week, but last night took a bath for the first time and then when we went into the garage to take the trash out we noticed there is a leak coming into the garage from above where the master bathtub is. We have pictures for your reference, just not sure who to send them to. Thank you.

Needs Cleaning, Maintenance, Upgrades
Needs a few things to be a higher rating than 3. Positives: Location is great. Really nice, cute neighborhood and quiet. Location is convenient to so many things. House has a good floorplan for a family stay. Negatives: This outweighed the positives for our stay and would not recommend this home for these reasons. Huge spill on the living room floor of what I guess was cleaning solution when we arrived that we cleaned up. Home was advertised with a washer/dryer. Washer was broken and when we arrived appeared to have liquid laundry detergent spilling out the front of it that had not been cleaned. Rental company did not offer to address this during our stay. Kitchen has limited cooking bowls, etc. Garbage in the bear bin outside was full from the prior renters. It was warm during our stay so we had to use the fans in the bedrooms which were so full of dust that when we turned them on our beds got coated in the mess that came down. It was pretty gross. Pillows on the beds were very thin and terrible quality. Removed the sheets prior to our departure as part of our check-out routine and based on the collection on particles at the bottom of the bed, we really wonder if the sheets were clean when we arrived. All in all, this house needs maintenance, a few upgrades, and good cleaning to be acceptable.

Nothing but problems - stay away!
The house itself is in a decent location. However, we had nothing but problems and had the worst experience with the property management company/owner. The hot water went out twice, the heater didn't work for half the stay, the water pressure was very low in the master bathroom, the cleaners did a horrible job cleaning. I could go on. Instead of making it right with all the money I paid, they would rather treat their customer awful. Stay away from this location.

Great Get-Away
Have leased numerous times in this neighborhood, and once again, not disappointed. This home was immaculate and had all necessities we needed. We loved the back deck and firepit. Beds were VERY comfortable. Great location to downtown as well as easy access to main highway. Only suggestions are that some pots/pans may need replacement soon - fairly worn and it would be great to have a closet available in the master bedroom to hang clothes. Otherwise, it was perfect!

Inflexible
The air quality was rated as “Hazardous” due to forest fires. Turnkey did not allow us to reschedule even though it was a natural disaster. We where restricted indoors. Turnkey repeatedly said that their “policy” would not allow any adjustments to the contract even when serious health issues where concerned. We left days early. Very frustrated with their lack of concern and inflexibility.

Perfect location
This property was in a perfect location for accessing a variety of activities in Truckee. Check in was easy and the place was well- equipped with everything we might need. The place was spacious and clean but could use some furniture , decor, and carpet updates. Mostly outdated vs rundown and and nothing that would keep me from returning again. In fact, we'll probably stay here again next time we visit! Great garage for outdoor adventure toys like bikes and snow stuff!

Our week in Truckee
The smoke detectors went off throughout the entire house for the first 48 hours and we lost sleep and vacation time due to dealing with the situation. While TurnKey was responsive to our inquiries they do not have a 24 hr maintenance service in town so we had to wait and endure no sleep and the smoke detectors going off (we could not disarm them and there was no breaker to flip, not to mention it was a safety issue). After 3 visits from maintenance the problem was finally resolved and our vacation was very pleasant. Unfortunately, TurnKey did not offer us commensurate compensation for the inconvenience. The property is very nice and located in a convenient area to all attractions. It met our family’s needs, once the smoke detectors were fixed. We will not rent with TurnKey due to the lack of compensation for the inconvenience.

Great House - Great Location...poor cleanliness and supplies
The house is great along with the location but there were a few items we were disappointed in. First of all we doubt the bed in the second bedroom is a queen - it seemed smaller then that. The sheets were old and stained and the sheets in the MB didn't fit. The MB had empty chip bags behind the end table and under the bed. There really needs to be more towels - especially when you have 8 people. Same with the extra shampoo's and soaps. One week there - two paper towel rolls don't work for 8 people. We had to buy more and we ended up just leaving the extra rolls. Most homes I have rented in Tahoe have condiments like cooking oil, necessary spices etc...., not here. That may be due to COVID but not sure. Again we bought them and left them for the next family. Communication was GREAT with management. The location and the house itself was GREAT! Wouldn't take much to make it a ton better. :0)

3 day couples get away
The cabin/house was beautiful. We picked this unit because of fire pit & bbq, both were unavailable for use. We were told packed up for winter, it was 81’ on 2 days of our visit! Fire pit would of been nice on those evenings when it cooled down! The inside was very clean, but the air filter needed to be changed. Called property manager Jack came first thing next am. He’s a very friendly guy. The garbage cans were full outside and very smelly, garbage pick up was day before. He unloaded them into bear box so they wouldn’t smell out front while we sat on deck. Couple of suggestions tissues for guests, need to have more than 1 lg skillet in kitchen & SHOULD NOT advertise early checkin/late checkout if “the unit doesn’t accommodate that” that’s what we were told when we were there inquiring! Check out time is 10am!!

Bring your cleaning supplies.
I’ll give our negatives and positives. When we arrived we were struck by the smell of spices and grease when we walked in. The smell had been cooped up and after 4 days with windows opened as much as possible we couldn’t get it out of the home. Dirty floors, food in sink, hand prints on banisters, carpet is very soiled, dirty utensils and hair on bathroom sinks. We complained and they sent a cleaner after 8p. Unfortunately I was putting my kids to sleep so asked them to come back the next day and they blamed me for “turning the cleaner away” because they couldn’t find someone to clean, in follow up. Whoever “cleaned” did a swift job and the bare minimum. The sheets were clean, as were the towels, there are nice appliances and the neighborhood is charming. If you’re a light sleeper you can hear the train, but that adds to the charm. Either the property management company is terrible - texting and calling for our first 24 hrs saying “we are working on it” or the owners don’t care about how unkempt the home is and just wants to shuffle people through with minimal efforts and expense. The place needs a deep clean and new carpet to make me feel at home.
