About this property

Aspen Ridge Chalet Walk to downtown Truckee and Safeway private hot tub dog ok

To my guests, welcome to Aspen Ridge Chalet. This is my primary residence which I have enjoyed sharing visitors since 2008. I over see everything my self. I will be available for you during your stay with any questions you may have so please don’t hesitate to contact me 530-412-0933. I have an apt. over my garage with a wonderful couple living there. It is totally separate from my house and they are very quiet. I doubt you will see them. You are not allowed to have any extra guests on the property or inside the house other than the guests that are originally stated when you book. Please do not block the driveway that goes to the garage as it is for my tenants. When you pull into the driveway, drive straight ahead to the red door that will be your entrance to my house. During the winter months please keep your car parked close to the entrance for snow removal. He usually comes early in the am to clear the driveway. Please remove shoes and boots in the laundry room prior to entering the main part of the house. Keeps the floors dry during the winter months and pine sap off the floors in the summer months. On the refrigerator there is a list of a few more things to know (please read). Please note during the winter months the natural gas heater is on a schedule. It comes on at 6am to 70 degrees at 10pm it goes down to 62. You are able to over ride the schedule until the next period when it will revert back to it's schedule. Example if you turn it up during the day it will hold until 10pm then it will revert back to it's schedule. Please be mindful of excessive heat, but I also want you to be warm and comfortable. There are 2 extra space heaters if needed. When you checkout please return the heaters to where you found them. I have down comforters on the beds to keep you nice and warm. I do not provide any extra blankets, so please bring yours if you feel you may need them while lying around watching tv. When you leave during the day please turn the heat down to 65 and when you checkout 65. During the winter months you will notice shovels outside around the different doors. Please make sure you put them back exactly where you found them. Also in the white buckets outside there is ice melt. Good to throw down on icy paths like out to the hot tub. Please keep snow off the hot tub. There is a cover on the hot tub lid. DO NOT REMOVE IT! The hot tub lid opens with it on. If you choose to use the hot tub please shower before to make sure everyone is CLEAN before getting in. It is very important that the hot tub stays clean for every guest. You are renting a property with a hot tub and it will be your responsibility for keeping the snow shoveled off the hot tub in between my snow removal service that I provide as they have many properties that they take care of and it is uncertain when they will arrive. There is a snow blower on the back deck. Please do not use it. It is there for my snow service provider. His name is Eli. He is separate from the snow removal service for the driveways. Check the refrigerator for notes on how to maintain the hot tub prior to using. Super easy. Use your own judgement about your children using the hot tub . No children under the age of 5 are allowed in the hot tub. You must supervise your children at all times when they are in the hot tub no matter their age. No toys allowed and plastic cups only. I have some in the kitchen. Also flip flops (sandals) for getting out to the hot tub, keeps the dirt out. It is a short distance from the house but very cold on your feet. Feel free to adjust the temperature to your comfort but DO NOT SET IT OVER 103. Again No GLASSS in or around the hot tub. There is an empty dresser in the guest room for your personal belongings. Also there is some space to hang clothes in the hall closet and in the main bedroom. For the ladies I have 1 room where I work as a hairdresser. Please feel free to use my products for doing your hair if you like. In the kitchen feel free to use any of my condiments etc. for cooking. You should bring most of your food with you as the markets are very busy. The Safeway is 1 blk. so you can walk. I have 2 coffee pots in the laundry room that you can move into the kitchen. Please return them to the laundry room before checking out. I can also recommend restaurants if you like. The night before you check out please run the dishwasher (as it takes a while to run it’s cycle) and the morning of check out please put all dishes back where you found them. That would be greatly appreciated. The dishes are the guests responsibility and not part of the cleaning fee. The morning of check out please start the laundry. Put either the sheets or towels in the washer (again much appreciated). Please don’t over load and do use the express cycle. It takes very little soap. Don’t go past the 1st line when pouring the detergent into the cup. If you have pets please do not let them on the furniture and clean up after them outside. Please don’t leave your dog home alone. I have had experiences of dogs chewing things when they told me their dog had never damaged anything. I think they can get fearful when left alone in a strange place. Please take out the garbage and recycle before you checkout. There is a bear bin at the bottom of the driveway for trash. After locking the bear bin please remove the key and just let it hang. The recycle bin is under the stairs by the garage. Go out the front door of the house and to the right you will see the garage and the recycle bin. If you cant figure it out please call me. If I think of anything else I will be in touch with you. Please call me if you have any questions. I will contact you prior to your arrival just to confirm everything with you. I hope you enjoy your stay. Please note if you ask for an early checkin or late checkout and I can accommodate there is a $50 charge. Also if you are planning on bringing your dog there is a pet fee $30 per day per pet. Thank you, Denise.

Perfection!
It’s almost impossible to fault this gorgeous cottage. My 4 year old, 18 month old, husband and I felt it was our home away from home while at the snow. The beds were incredibly comfortable, gas fireplace cosy, kitchen fully stocked with cooking supplies and everything was very clean. But most importantly. Location! We couldn’t believe we were a short walk to Safeway, rental shops, restaurants and still on a street that felt as though we were immersed in nature! Very grateful to our friendly and responsive host for a wonderful stay!

Great House
This cabin is very clean and fully outfitted. The owner, Denise, is responsive and friendly. It is in a super location. This was our first time in Tahoe so we were nervous. But no need to worry. When the snow started and traffic got terrible, it was SO convenient to be able to walk to Safeway and several restaurants. It was also a short drive to skiing at Tahoe Donner. Such a cozy and cute home. Very highly recommended!

Truckee slice of heaven
Great location, fabulous amenities, conveniently located for golfers, cyclists, anglers, - Cute and clean. Has everything you'll need including barbecue, laundry, hammock, hot tub, etc. Been coming here for over 5 years now. Owner is flexible, house is immaculate, and neighborhood is great. Easy walk to Safeway, downtown Truckee, and quick drive (less than 20 minutes) to North Shore/Incline village. Great property for all 4 seasons- and we've stayed during each one of them we love the place so much. Less than 3 hours from SF:-)

Exciting times at the aspen chalet
The aspen chalet is the perfect location for either a quiet, peaceful, meditative fresh air experience in the pines or for days filled with different summer outdoor activities from hiking to biking, swimming in Donner Lake, walking or browsing through boutiques. Located in Truckee, the area offers historical architecture and a small town feeling and of course many great eateries all within walking distance. The aspen chalet is the perfect retreat after an active day in the area. The chalet offers relaxing hours on the expansive back patio under the pines in a hot tub or enjoying breakfast or dinner listening to nature. What a delightful retreat from the city life! And if one wants to stay current, there is wi-fi and tv ( we watched the olympics). Walking distance to grocery store and an awesome hardware store. It's also very close to the breathtaking Lake Tahoe. We had a great time!!

Relaxing summer weekend in Truckee
We were in the Tahoe area for a wedding and wanted to have a place that would fit two couples that was also close to Downtown Truckee. The Aspen Ridge Chalet was perfectly what we were looking for. It it steps from the Safeway store and a short drive to downtown. The property was clean and well appointed and we very much appreciated the availability of the hot tub after we got back from the wedding. We would happily rent the property again

Cozy serene home
Everything about your vrbo rental home is perfect. Your attention to detail is impressive and the home is beautifully decorated. Everything is immaculate from the kitchen to the bathrooms and outside patios. The clean clear hot tub was an early morning delight. The lovely crisp linens made the final statement at the end of the day. You have mastered pride of ownership in your cozy mountain home. The location was very convenient to all of our activities. We enjoyed all of the flowers in your manicured gardens as we relax on the patios. Thank you for sharing your serene space. Suzanne and Mike

Wonderful Spot
House is beautifully furnished, great comfy beds and spotless. Back deck is full of flowers and a hot tub that was very welcomed after a day outdoors. Nice neighborhood, very close to shopping and Donner Lake and not to be missed Historic Truckee. The owner went out of the way to make us feel welcomed and to have the house ready despite our change in schedule. Highly, highly recommended.

Perfect weekend stay!
My wife, our dog and I stayed at Aspen Ridge Chalet this past weekend. The house is charming - clean, welcoming, and roomy. Denise was a great host. She provided excellent directions for accessing the house and was easy to communicate with. It's walking distance to the Safeway and Wild Cherries and some other local restaurants. We would definitely stay there again!

Perfect Truckee weekend!
This place is everything a couple and their dogs could want in a Truckee stay! All of the modern conveniences: HDTV, wifi, and DVD player. It is very relaxing with a beautiful back deck with lots of flowers, rock landscaping, plenty of patio furniture, and a hot tub. What more could you ask for? The location: simply perfect. It's obviously right off hwy 80 and very close to hwy 89 into Tahoe City. As the description mentions, it's right behind Safeway, Rite Aid, and a hardware store for easy shopping access. It's a quiet neighborhood without a lot of traffic and we really enjoyed walking the dogs and discovered a park with a large grass area where they enjoyed running. I can't wait to go back! It's probably best suited for one or two couples or a small family since it has 2 bedrooms, each with a queen bed. Thanks Denise!

Truckee ca rental
Myself, my daughter and her husband rented this property for a weekend. First if all, the rental is extremely clean and contains everything you will need for your vacation. Additionally, the property was conveniently located to town....close to restaurants, bars and shops. The Safeway grocery store is within walking distance which was very convenient for us. As far as the house, we were comfortable. There are two bedrooms, each contains a very cushy queen bed. The maximum occupancy of this property is 4. There is 1.5 bathrooms in the home. A downside for me was that the full bath (tub and shower) was located in the master bedroom, which meant that I couldn't take a shower until those staying in the master bedroom were up and about. But in the total scheme of things, this turned out to be a minor inconvenience. There is a very nice outdoor hot tub in the backyard which was heated and ready for our enjoyment upon arrival. The owner of the home, Denise, is extremely pleasant and easy to work with. She responded very promptly to all of my emails, and telephoned me on the day of our arrival to make sure that all of the details were communicated to us. Seriously, Denise is totally on it! Overall, the house has a great location, the house is comfortable and has an owner that takes the time to make sure that all the details are covered. I recommend.

Great location & very cozy
Location location location. Great central area of truckee. I hate having to drive deep into those windy ice covered roads in most areas of truckee so this was perfect. The place is very cozy and clean. The heating is a bit tricky and it gets really dry so I would suggest a humidifier but otherwise we loved the place. Highly recommend it.

I have lived in the Tahoe Truckee area since 1976 where I raised my daughter from the age of 5. I work as a hairdresser in Truckee. I enjoy and take pride in my property.

Why they chose this property

I love the location! Central! So close to everything that the area has to offer. Walk to the grocery store Safeway. Downtown and Donner Lake Are about 1 mile either direction. All ski resorts are 15-20 mins depending on high season traffic. The property it set back off the road. Very private and quite. Easy access in and out of the
driveway.

What makes this property unique

Location, Location, Location !!! In the heart of Truckee. So close to all ski resorts and so many lakes and trails. Walk to Safeway and restaurants. Private hot tub. Owner is always available. Pet friendly.
