We had a great trip in winter. The house was perfect for our family. It was well stocked, warm, had everything we needed, and the location was perfect. We enjoyed the Tahoe Donner sno-play nearby, and liked being near shops and grocery stores in town. The owner was easy to reach when we had a question and check in was easy. We would definitely come again!

The home was very nice, spacious, comfortable and as advertised. I give 1 star due to the poor interaction with the property manager who is attempting to charge me for water pipe damages.
Upon checkin, the water was turned off. I called the prop manager but never got a response. We did find the water valve eventually. The checkout had much longer instructions than usual not only taking out trash, turning down heat, cleaning dishes, but stripping the bed, towels and putting all in the laundry, turning off the water. We completed all the tasks upon checkout day at 8:30am. 2 days later, the manager contacted me and claimed we did not turn off the water and the pipes froze and one of the balcony doors was open. She claimed that I would charged for the pipe damage. We definitely turned off the water and doublechecked it was turned off the way. We did not even touch the balcony door as the balcony was full of snow. I let the prop manager know we completed the checkout instructions as instructed and she should check with her cleaning crew. I do not appreciate the accusatory tone of the manager and trying to scam more money from reliable clients. I have contacted VRBO customer service who says we are not obligated to pay any additional fees as it is not part of the contract Do not stay at this VRBO unless you want a headache!!!!

Amy was responsive and amazing to communicate with. Check in/out was simple and the cabin was well stocked with everything we needed to eat our meals in over the weekend as well as some snow shoes and sleds in the garage for playing in the snow. The neighborhood is beautiful and easy to access. The cabin isn’t fancy but it made time with 5 adults and 2 young grandkids relaxed and stress free. We will definitely be back.

This is a great basic ski cabin in Tahoe Donner that is family and pet friendly. The property was clean and adequately equipped. Some furnishings and appliances are a bit dated. Please remember to bring your own wood.

Here is an honest, comprehensive review to help Tahoe-Truckee visitors make an informed decision prior to booking.
POSITIVES+
-Easy check-in
-Good location - easy driving distance to Donner Lake/ eateries & shops in downtown Truckee
-Nice neighborhood - surrounding homes were attractive/ appeared well-maintained
-Comfortable queen beds downstairs & upstairs
-Upstairs bedding appeared clean & freshly laundered
-Towels were clean & plentiful
-Laundry room was functional & much appreciated
-Showerheads & drains functioned properly
-Silverware was plentiful & in good condition
-Coffeemaker functioned properly as did the stovetop, oven, & refrigerator
-Dogs allowed ;-) we were grateful to be able to include our 2 canine girls on our trip
NEGATIVES-
Cleanliness & the usual amenities of a functioning household were lacking. We realized that our original plan to dine in most evenings was no longer a viable option. It was also a bit demoralizing to tend to necessary chores & repairs after our 10-hour drive from southern CA as indicated by the following examples:
-No hot water - my boyfriend had to light the pilot to the water heater so we could shower after our long travel day
-Dirty dishes in the dishwasher - my sister’s boyfriend owns a handyman service & quickly did troubleshooting under the kitchen sink to connect the water line to the dishwasher.
-Cleanliness of bedding on downstairs bed was suspect; we laundered it & remade the bed the 1st night
-Most surfaces were visibly dirty with built-up grime - I wiped down kitchen/ bathroom counters & faucets, toilets, light switches, tabletops, & windowsills upstairs & downstairs. Cleaning cloths were black with accumulated filth. (Btw, I elected not to clean/remove layers of dust and cobwebs from blinds, vents, or the circulating fans; which we avoided using)
-Window lock broken in downstairs bedroom - access to fresh air during the night would have been welcomed
-No full set of steak knives or wine glasses - we passed around one decent knife discovered in the kitchen drawer and a pocket knife from home to enjoy our dinner in!
-No grill was provided as advertised - it would have been appropriate to provide a propane option or update the listing; we used the cast iron pan to prepare the steaks we intended to grill
-Deck was covered in accumulated debris & railing in front was loose and not secured
-Plastic Adirondack chairs on the deck were brittle & broken

Definitely was a relaxing get away with the fur babies. Could use some updating and a deep cleaning but otherwise it was great.
Perfect location from downtown Truckee. We were able to ride our bikes there and back. So many bike trails if you like to bike!

The cabin was perfect for our family of 5 and a small dog. It is home away from home. The cabin was clean, and well kept. It is located in a quiet neighborhood, the kitchen is very well equipped, also the home has a large dining table for the whole family. There are a lot of board games in the living room - children liked it very much. They also loved a bunk bed. The mud room is amazing. It is big and warm. You can leave there all your snow clothes and boots, and they will be dry overnight. Amy was very responsive and provided all the instructions in a welcome letter. I didn't include a dog when booking, and sent message to Amy. She replied instantly with an additional payment. I really appreciate all the communication and immediate responses. Overall we enjoyed our stay. It is a great place for a family vacation. We would love to come back again to this place!

property was extremely clean and well maintained. we had an excellent time. everything that you need was at the property. we had a problem with extremely icy walkway. we contacted the property manager and the eliminated the issue in a very short time. The location is only minutes away from all points of interest xcountry/boarding/fishing etc. I recommend this listing to anyone that is looking to have a good time in the tahoe area. Very well priced and taken care of. You really feel that you are walking into a family setting.

Everything was great and as listed. The only negative was that the house needed a little more attention in the cleaning process. Debris on the carpet, cobwebs throughout, and an unflushed toilet made me feel the cleaning deposit fee was more than we got out of it,

This cabin was perfect for a long weekend getaway with our pup. Nicely equipped kitchen, very clean, and everything worked well. The loft was too full of furniture to be useful for us, and we didn't need or use the downstairs bedrooms. A larger family might find this cabin a bit crowded, but it worked great for the two of us humans + 1 large dog. I'd like to visit in warmer weather when the outdoor decks can be used (they are filled with snow right now). Would be great to add a reading lamp near one of the chairs for evening, when the natural light isn't available. Thanks so much for being dog friendly!

We came up with our immediate family to celebrate Christmas. Dreamed of a white Christmas and it sure was and more. Even though we came during the worst snow storm, power went out, no service, had to dig out our cars daily from being Buried in snow we had the best time as a family. The cabin was perfect for our family. It was clean and well kept when we arrived. Amenities were great. Amy is very responsive and always in a timely manner. Neighbors were delightful, very helpful and welcoming! Plenty of games to stay busy. Kitchen was just perfect for our needs. Everything runs on gas which was extremely helpful when the power was out so we still had hot water and were able to use the stove thankfully. We would highly recommend staying here! Many great memories were made here! A Christmas we will never forget!

Just okay
First I do want to compliment Amy who was organized and responded quickly to all questions. The house was just the right size for our group, good location to Truckee and had the potential to be perfect. But the house needs some serious overall cleaning and repairs to screens and windows. The screen in the dining room was on the ground, we tried to put it back in and no luck. And as a previous reviewer mentioned the downstairs bedroom window is a broken; it wouldn’t stay open. We were only there for two nights and it was 100 degrees both days. Yep that’s Mother Nature and we understand that is out of anyone’s control . But, the house was very very hot, only one ceiling fan in great room and standing fans in the upstairs bedroom and one downstairs bedroom only. And the standing fans were layered in dust, not very healthy. Wanted to love it but definitely needs some TLC.

These owners have thought of everything. Well stocked kitchen. The lay out is very nice with bedrooms upstairs and down with plenty of room to retreat. The kitchen and living room - and front porch provide a haven for game night or reading by the snow. The heat works well and was comfortable. We had all kinds of weather for our May stay. It was a great get away for our family with 2 college students who finished their school year..to get away before their summer jobs kicked in. Fishing was not far and the hardware store was close for advice on what is biting. While pets are allowed here, we do not own a dog, and should have noted that. The pet dander was apparent in the carpet and our son was quick to the drug store to get an anti-histamine. The floor heater in the kitchen and the view of the cedars and birds from the window were a welcome bonus in the morning as we started the coffee. The owners take care of families and it showed. They also were GREAT about communicating. Our very tired college student managed to leave his phone as we packed out and I left my pillow. The owner called very soon after we left and we were able to retrieve them before heading off the mountain. Really appreciated that.
