Clean comfortable family retreat
Good place to stay in Tahoe Donner. 3 good bedrooms, 2 with King beds and one with Queen and bunks. All good, comfortable mattresses for a good night sleep after a workout on the ski slopes. 4th bedroom is up an outdoor set of stairs and then into loft above garage and was locked during our stay, but I think that one wouldn't be practical in the winter. Kitchen is a bit small but workable and well equipped. Overall we had a great stay.

Family wedding weekend
Our family was in the area for a wedding. The cabin was a comfortable place for us to stay together. We didn’t have much time to enjoy the many amenities the area has to offer but the cabin had everything we needed and the beds and linens were very comfortable.

Great family property with a quiet neighborhood and trails that my kids lived to hike. Great proximity to Northstar, Lake Tahoe, a grocery store, and lots of hiking. The house is very well stocked and really comfortable.

Absolutely Amazing Home!!
You will not go wrong with this house! It is stocked with all of the essentials. Plenty of cookware. Lots of dishes, glasses etc. Plenty of towels. Spices, coffee filters, foil, Saran Wrap, garbage bags, recycle bags and much more! Very well laid out home. The view is beautiful. The deck is inviting. Bikes to ride in the garage. Large driveway and room for two cars in the garage. extra chairs and beach chairs as well. I can’t say enough about this place! My family and I had the best time there! It can easily sleep up to 10 people with no problem. Great location as well. We will absolutely be staying at this home again!!

Perfect Cozy Retreat
Enjoyed a great weekend with friends during the epic snow in late winter of 2023. Easy to access, even with all the snow. Cabin is well appointed and clean and the host was accommodating and lovely. Would rent again when in the Truckee area.

Perfect cabin for 2 families.
We had a total of 9 and everyone had a comfortable bed to sleep in. The cabin feels very cozy and private. We enjoyed sitting on the patio at night to star gaze. Safeway close by was very nice and a short drive to Donner lake was awesome. Made a perfect family retreat for us!!

Perfect base camp for family trip
We had a group of eight ranging from 7 to 75 and Wildhorn Cabin could not have been more perfect for us. Proximity to downtown Truckee as well as Tahoe made for a great weekend. The cabin was well stocked and clean. The deck is amazing and was the perfect spot to play games or just hang out. The beds were all very comfortable. It was really nice to have such great communication with the owner prior to the trip, Patricia is great. Our family has already talked about coming back to experience the cabin during the winter months.

Nice Cabin in Great Location
The location of the cabin is great since it is close to downtown but also has a nice woodsy view in the back (we went when it was covered with snow and it was beautiful). There were plenty of towels, blankets, cooking supplies, etc. The sleds were fun for our kids. Everyone enjoyed the fireplace and comfy chairs after a day in the snow.
