Views of Northstar and Mt Rose, Hot Tub on 600 sqft. Deck, Close to Downtown
Our Welcoming Home is the perfect balance of feeling right at home yet being on vacation.
**Ask about the Wake Surf Package with house rental (see details below)**
We have an enormous sunny deck that includes a 5 man hot tub, BBQ and lots of seating/picnic table overlooking Northstar Ski Resort. We have a huge driveway with lots of parking. Our house is sunny and open, 2 bedrooms on the bottom floor, one master that has a queen and a full size daybed and big closets, the other has bunk beds with a full bed on the bottom, there is also a full bathroom and laundry room, a wood burning firestove and sunroom. This floor is open to the upper level that contains a big kitchen with all the amenities, we leave spices and cooking essentials for your use, kitchen has a bar that can seat 3 people, lots of pantry and fridge space. Our water is great out of the tap but also have filtered out of the fridge and we have instant hot water. Upstairs contains a master bedroom with a king bed, fireplace, flat screen tv, and large double sink bathroom that also has a granite steam shower. We have a second room upstairs that is technically not a bedroom because it does not have a closet. There is a twin bed in there 4-feet off the ground (with a ladder). There is also an extra halfbath upstairs. Our living room and dining area are open and sunny, the dining table seats 6. We have a 55' flat screen TV, but no cable (does connect to a few internet apps). we have over 50 dvds you can choose from, and also an endless amount of snowboard videos! We have high speed WI-FI, and if you're gamers like us, we have lots of board and card games to pick from. If that isn't enough stimulation, horseshoe pit, campfire pit (when allowed), tree house and a mini pump track around the yard! There is a golf course within walking distance from the house. The garage is stocked with wood in the winter and has one garage spot that you can use for your vehicle.

About the host
Hosted by Andy and Amber Finch
Andy and I have been married over 17 years, we have two bundles of joy, Amiya Joy who is 7 years young and her older brother Asher Josiah who is 10. We enjoy traveling, some for pleasure, some for work, but we are gone enough to rent out our house, though Truckee will always be our home base. Andy used to compete in snowboarding halfpipe, he went to the 2006 olympics! He now does odds and ends jobs, rental management, construction, commentating at ski and snowboard events, guest coaching, motivational speaking, boat captain on Tahoe, whatever! I am a full time mom, but also do commissioned artwork, work with a whole foods company, teach some cooking classes and teach spin and yoga classes. We are both very involved in our church and community. Our favorite activities to enjoy together are mountain biking and wakesurfing. Andy also loves surfing, snowmobiling, snowboarding, skateboarding. I love cross country skiing, running, horseback riding, cooking, and road biking. Our two little ones already snowboarded, paddleboarded, skateboarded, haha, they are going to be extreme like their parents! We love hosting guests and activities at our house and have the perfect home for it, and that is why we know you will love it too!
Don't hesitate to ask about scheduling your private charter on Surf Tahoe with Captain Andy with a nice discount for staying at the Grizzly Home.

Why they chose this property
As a professional snowboarder Andy had always wanted to live and train in the Lake Tahoe area (he grew up in Fresno, CA). He lived at home in order to save enough to buy this home in Truckee 20 yrs ago. I grew up in Colorado and ended up at school in southern california, i wanted to get back to the mountains and ended up in Truckee, we both love it here and will always have it as our home.
What makes this property unique
Andy loved how open the house is, and the floor plan is an awesome unique layout, with the fire stove running from the bottom floor to the top, so heating is very efficient. There is also a big flat driveway which is pretty essential in the winter time. There are great views and the spacious lot makes it feel like you are truly in the mountains. The location is very central and ideal for Truckee being close to town, the river, Old Greenwood golf course, Ski resorts and getting more sun than any other area in town (we are in the sunbelt).
