Best Little Getaway!

Staying at the Holy Cow house was an absolute delight! Nestled right on the Truckee River and just a short stroll to downtown, the location couldn't have been more perfect. The host left a very sweet message and a brief history of the Holy Cow house, which made us feel incredibly connected to this charming home. We will definitely be coming back!
