Cozy cabin with easy access to Truckee and mountains
This place was perfect for us. Nice neighborhood, pretty lot, and a nice, open main room for congregating. I wish they would spend a couple hundred dollars to outfit the kitchen better. Odd collection of silverware, glassware, plates, coffee cups, no dish clothes for drying, old toaster etc. That was the only negative. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Nice place to stay
This is a nice place with great access to all local amenities. I do wish the place had a bit of update like television and perhaps switch out regular plugs for some that have usb so we could power up devices. Sliding screen door would have been nice to cool the place better. Other than that, loved it.

House needs a deep clean, location is great
We were very disappointed upon arrival with the state of the house. There was a strange odor and we had to open windows and burn candles for the first few hours. Luckily the weather was amazing so we could enjoy fresh air and open windows during our stay. The carpets are extremely stained and worn. The house had not been well cleaned when we arrived - fridge was dirty and cobwebs were hanging everywhere. Aside from lack of cleanliness the location was amazing and I highly recommend Tahoe Donner.

Weekend Ski Trip
House was ok for our purposes. Plenty of space for 4 adults and 2 kids. Nice fire place and house provided wood. Walkway to front door was snowy, icy and slippery. Kitchen not full stocked so prepare for bringing all items needed. We couldn’t find a can opener. Overall cozy older place, everything worked, not the cleanest but house served our purpose.

Perfect for small group
We spent our days skiing/hiking and our evenings cooking and playing board games on the big dining table. Plenty of linens and spacious kitchen. Note: the kitchen isn’t well appointed. There was no cooking oil, can opener or fry pan. Nothing in the fridge and no cooking basics. Just keep in mind if you are going planning on preparing your own meals. Bring everything with you. Otherwise, an outstanding stay!

Overall, the property is okay. Internet was spotty and some dishware should be replaced or at least considered. If you want a cabin in the woods to retreat from technology, this is the place for you. If you want somewhere to go for skiing or snowboarding near the slopes... this place is also for you.

Fantastic stay!
This cabin was perfect for our family getaway including my husband and I, our in-laws, and 2 dogs. The space was generous and well appointed. The cabin was clean on arrival and comfortable. The kitchen was perfect for our thanksgiving dinner and had most basic necessities. Would highly recommend!

Great Truckee Holiday Spot
The cabin in the woods was exactly what we had hoped for! It was not in a crowded area but close enough to everything we needed. The accommodations were comfortable but we spent most of our time outside on the patio and in the woods. Perfect if you are looking for something basic which was just what we were looking for.

Pictures are misleading.
Total absence of comfortable living room furniture. The coach seats are awful and lack any cushion resiliency causing individual to slide off the couch. Plenty of dog hair on the carpets and floors. The bunk bed mattresses were past their useful life; all the bed linens were old and uncomfortable to the touch. The front door dead bolt did not work.

Loved the location and the cabin was very spacious. However the wifi was very spotty, just for browsing on the phone (we did not try something more like video calls).

House is well worn. Rugs were in need of some serious cleaning. Furniture was old and the couches broken down. Wifi needed to be continually reset, and a new router is needed.

Great location, great property management, needs updating
Loved the location of the property. The one thing I wish was we would’ve been notified that we had to put reservations in to go to the pool! We didn’t know and weren’t able to go but one time at night our first night there. The property manager was responsive. I do wish the carpet was cleaner and the bunk beds more comfortable. If a six year old complains about them they really need to be updated. The dishwasher and fridge could also use some updating. Very nice area and checking in was very easy. Thank you, we did have a great family vacation.

More firewood than you would ever need!
This is a beautiful and spacious home in a quiet neighborhood. Having access to a garage was ideal. The only real drawback is the slow WiFi and limited ability to stream local news and movie channels. But, when you are surrounded by natural beauty and a library of great books, TV is not really a necessity. We were able to zoom a few meetings while we were there, but we had to make sure our phones and other devices were not connected to the network. The only bed we occupied was comfortable. It was nice to have two bathrooms, one downstairs with a tub and the other upstairs with a shower for the two of us. There is a facility to use a hot tub and pool, but we were completely unaware of where it was and we were not sure if we would have had to pay to enter. It seems to me that any facility was not within a couple of miles. I suppose you would have to drive there. It was not clear in the rental agreement or materials left in the home. We did an internet search, but did not find any useful information or a phone number to call.

Super location
Great location, Clean and comfortable for 1-2 families plus dog. We enjoyed the proximity to Donner Lake - no need to pay for guest passes to the private beach ($16 pp for 90 min access under Covid restrictions) as there is a great Dog friendly beach easily accessible via state park (and no time limit). We also took advantage of the excellent mtn bike trails in tahoe donner. A couple of things could be improved: 1. the wifi is woefully inadequate. If you are planning to try to work at all during your stay, you’ll need to go to the alder creek rec center for public Wi-Fi that works. 2. The kitchen would benefit from a cutting board or two (there were none) and some new pots/pans.
