We stayed at the “Glass House” during the Winter Storm in December 2021. The house is a very nice house. It has many windows and is very open and airy feeling. It is furnished nicely with multiple TVs, a 1 Gig internet connection, Wifi, 4 zone HVAC, good size washer dryer, large fridge, two coffee makers (K cup type and drip). Ken even provides ground coffee!

Ken is very informative with all the videos on how to use the fireplace, HVAC, motorized & remote control blinds, etc. The upstairs master bath has a deep tub attached to a large shower area, which reminds me of a Japanese bath. A soak in the deep tub was very welcome after playing in the snow both for adults and kids (the hot tub on the deck would have been nice, but it was buried in snow). The only improvement here would be to have a bigger water pipe to the tub as filling the tub took some time, so plan ahead.

Ken was the best host I have dealt with ever in all the AirBnB homes I have stayed in.

What an amazing space!

What an amazing space! After staying right in Incline Village in an air b&b that did not meet our needs, we booked this little piece of paradise very last minute. It saved our trip! While you are 25 minutes outside of Incline Village area, the short drive is worth it for the comfort and piece of mind. Unlike many homes on the lake, there is AC in this home in addition to any amenity you may need. The pictures display this perfectly and I am sure it will exceed your expectations. Truckee is an adorable town with a ton to do! Outside activities near Donner Lake and a ton of cute restaurants minutes away. There is also a local grocery store that has anything you may need. The house is clean, beds are comfortable and the host is very communicative and helpful. We hope to stay here if we ever return to the Lake Tahoe area! Do not hesitate- book this spot! You won’t regret it!! Thank you Ken!!

Kevin
Very clean and well equipped

Great location, and very comfortable stay. Place was very clean and well equipped. Ken is close by and able to check-in and help if anything pops up.
Communication was very proactive.

Ken’s home is a dream. So many amenities that we took full advantage of from the sauna and hot tub to the pinball and popcorn machines. Our kids didn’t want to leave. They thought of everything including leaving children’s Motrin which ended up coming in handy as our son fell sick during our stay. Beds are comfortable, the kitchen is large and well equipped. Master bath is very nice with soaking tub AND rainfall shower head. Location is lovely and super close to all the Truckee has to offer and easy drive to Palisades where we went skiing. Ken was super responsive and was kind enough to put up a Christmas tree and stockings for our stay over the holidays l. Literally can’t say enough good things. This was the best Airbnb we’ve ever stayed in. Thank you Ken!

Katina M.

We stayed here with another family… who are also frequent visitors to Tahoe, and we all unanimously agreed that this was best place any of us have stayed in Tahoe, and the experience with Ken was fantastic. We love the house, the layout, the amenities, the style, the great communication and service, and we are already plotting when we can stay here again.

Brett F.

Our stay was amazing. Ken was very responsive and helpful. The house was beautiful, very well stocked, everything you could possibly need…I cannot say enough about how comfortable and perfect this stay was for us. We’ll be back!

Colleen T.

Had a wonderful family and friends gathering for Thanksgiving at Ken’s place. It was beautiful and homey with tons of space and wonderful amenities. Ken hooked us up with all accommodations for our baby which was super helpful. Great kitchen for cooking too. Would highly recommend!

Tara M.

My family really enjoyed our stay at Ken’s place!

Daniel S.

The place was very spacious and the scenery from the house was absolutely stunning. Perfectly accommodated 9 people and Ken was very adamant about answering any questions we had and made sure we were comfortable

Aria A.

Easy check in. Really clean house, provides everything you will need even with extras. Host was really responsive and helpful. The guidebook was extremely helpful to figure out how to work things, had youtube videos included. We loved the sauna and the jacuzzi the most. Will consider coming back again.

Lena K.

The place is great, especially the master bed room and the common area. Very clean, well stocked.. with good instructions.

Great location with truckee downtown nearby

The other 2 bedrooms are on the first floor and have no windows, which did not match the website description.. that’s our only complaint..

Rest was great

Himanshu A.

Relaxing stay and beautiful property! Great communication from the host and the clear instructions. High tech house!

Jen C.

We had a wonderful weekend stay at the Glass House! It was just as beautiful as the pictures promised! The amenities were fantastic, and we particularly loved the hot tub and sauna, which provided the perfect way to unwind after a day on the slopes. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the chef’s kitchen was a fantastic bonus for preparing meals.

Communication with our host was quick and convenient, making the check-in process seamless. This home is ideal for a ski weekend, offering plenty of entertainment and relaxation options right within the house.

We would absolutely love to come back and rent this spot again in the future!

Janice C.

Cannot recommend the Glass House enough! The home is beautiful and Ken was an awesome host. Very responsive and provided lots of information for us ahead of our stay. Don’t hesitate to book, you won’t be disappointed! If we’re in Truckee again, we will definitely booking this house again.

Glass House is sensational! Great location for a ski weekend – close to Truckee & Northstar! Our family loves the accommodations – and Ken is a superb host. Absolutely would recommend.

Absolutely amazing! The house is gorgeous along with the backyard and Ken was so communicative throughout our whole stay!

Diana R.

Wow!! What a beautiful home and in a beautiful setting!! The home was so comfortable and had everything we needed (and more!). We especially enjoyed the large fenced yard, the hot tub, the fire place, the games, and the fact that it was dog friendly. Thank you for a wonderful stay. We would love to come back again in the future!

Emily G.

We had a very comfortable stay at Ken’s place and were plenty entertained despite being rained in. Would definitely book again!

Mickaela M.

Ken’s home in Truckee was beautiful and exactly as pictured. We had a very comfortable stay and would definitely stay again. He was very responsive and communication was super detailed.

Alexis Q.

Ken’s place is beautiful and well maintained, he was responsive and polite, this house was by far the cleanest we have stayed, I let Ken know there were 2 areas that needed a little more attention from his cleaning team, but overall we were enjoy our stay there.
Thanks Ken!

Priscila L.

Beautiful home in a quiet neighborhood only a short drive from downtown Truckee and Lake Donner. Incredibly dog friendly and packed with amenities from a hot tub to a corn hole set. Will definitely be staying again!
