Must Visit Again
As soon as we got there we were amazed. The perfect home for a quick getaway with the family. My kids loved the hot tub and ability to go sledding just outside the house. Supermarket (Safeway) just a few minutes away. We never used the fireplace because we were outside the entire time. The owner Terrie was soooooo nice and available anytime I had questions. Will definitely come back.

Cozy weekend with family+friends
Overall not bad, they gave us early check-in, which is nice so that our kids can nap. we really needed that. The beds were all comfortable and firm. Bunks could really reduce the decorativepillows. Found a bit of golden animal fur in one of the bunkbeds, and some human scab particles on the bunk mattress covers (once I lifted up the sheets). however, this was just the bunkbed room- no other complaints from people in the master or queen bedrooms. but- -You don’t get a bottle of wine when you check in. Darn. -Theres no propane grill on the deck. We actually brought food to grill, but couldn’t use it. No idea this would be the case because online listing said there would be one. each bathroom only had one extra roll of toilet paper, and no responses to my chat/questions regarding whereabouts of (additional) toilet paper in the house. I don’t know why, but that question was avoided each time I asked. Hot tub, family room, and kitchen are great. decks are pretty clean. Cozy place. Warm comfortable but not very modern. The upstairs loft is smaller than the listing makes it look. the TV is a bit old and needs to be replaced w/ something thinner and higher resolution. downstairs bathtub was not dirty, but was pretty dark stained from years of use, or maybe it just needed some bleaching. Water pressure is good, nice and hot. But…housekeepers did not fully clean up the hair off the bathroom floor and toothpaste/beard shavings in the sink. W/D are very modern and easy to use.

Nice Cabin in Tahoe Donner
We enjoyed our stay at this Tahoe Donner cabin. Kids loved the large bunk beds, and the hot tub on the back deck was great. Good location and well equipped cabin.

About the host

Host profile image
Our family has always enjoyed the Lake Tahoe area for its beautiful scenery and year-round fun. After renting out her people’s homes over the years we finally were able to purchase our own place in 2014. We knew as soon as we all drove up the driveway with our realtor that this was the one......chalet-like exterior, big lot for snow play, really big kitchen for a family of cooks and lots of nooks and crannies for gathering.

The whole family worked on the remodel, knocking down walls, tearing out carpet, painting and decorating to make this a cozy family getaway place to build memories. Our 3 adult children, their spouses, and now six young grandchildren are building wonderful memories here and we hope that you too, will enjoy our home and make lasting memories of your own.
