Radiating simplicity and character, energy-efficient one-year old stainless steel appliances equip the home, and tasteful custom woodwork adorns its interior, all together creating a cozy environment perfect for relaxation and unwinding.
As you step onto the property and look through the home’s back wall of glass, you’ll savor a pine-studded view with a deck that includes a teak dining table, two new red Adirondack chairs and side table and a gas BBQ. Or, slip into the warm embrace of the hot tub out on the deck as you gaze up at the clear mountain sky.

Venture upstairs to discover a charming reading nook and desk with iMac for guests that peers down onto the living space, an ideal spot for losing yourself in a book or a checking email with excellent wifi. Nearby, the second bedroom with an en suite half bath extends a warm welcome with another queen bed, light linens, and colorful accents, perfectly reflecting the welcoming aesthetic of this charming home. In this larger upstairs bedroom, you will sleep comfortably and peacefully with blackout curtains and carpeted floors upstairs to greet your toes in the morning!

Each guest card allows access for up to four guests over the age of 6. Daily fee for rental guest per person per day, paid upon entry. A single daily fee gains you access to the Trout Creek Gym, private beach club, and pools. Children under 7 are free.
In addition to the snow removal service, we have a team that will come to the property and shovel the snow from the walkway and the deck. In storms, this team prioritizes walkways at each home and returns for deck snow removal, if there is not a large storm and they are available. They will arrive when there is more than 4 inches of snow, roads permitting. We also provide shovels for the guests to use. DO NOT attempt to use the snowblower, this is for the owners only.
Our cleaning team is a wonderful partner to us at Glacier View Getaway. The company is a woman-owned local family business with insurance in Truckee. We depend on their reliability to ensure your rental is ready and sanitized. We also employ a separate company that specializes in hot tub sanitation to come out between every guest visit. Our cleaning fee is a direct pass through to our wonderful woman-owned cleaning team.
Note: Front entry and walkway of the cabin and garage are monitored by a security camera, placed out front (only) of the rental property which can be turned off at guest request.
