Excellent & cozy property for all ages
We booked Donner Bliss Cabin to get away the week of Thanksgiving and really wanted something close to things but away from the crowds of Tahoe. It was important for us to be able to bring our mini Goldendoodle Sadie. I chanced upon the Donner Bliss cabin hosted by Mel and Sal and it blew us away. It had EVERYTHING a family would need to get away and make memories. It’s cozy, inviting, clean and comfortable. Each person had space and the “kids” room comes fully equipped with tons of board games, fooseball, a Wii and a hit was the piano. The kitchen is FULLY stocked with utensils, pans, etc so much so that I was able to comfortably make a Thanksgiving dinner we all thoroughly enjoyed. If you are in need of groceries or drinks, Safeway is about a mile away. There are so many awesome things to mention but The Hot Tub, fenced in yard, Wood Burning Stove, full washer and dryer and ample supplies really made us feel at home. You only need to bring your clothes to this property, they provide everything else! Plus, it’s very easy to get to from any direction you’re coming from. We cannot wait to come back and explore in the summer time when we can roast marshmallows or use the BBQ. Mel was fantastic at communication and we felt at home every day. Thank you for trusting us to use your home and we really cannot wait to return!

Amazing Cabin
We took are first family vacation with my niece. 5 adults, 1 kid and 2 dogs. It was a packed house but big enough that we had our space. I love that it had two backyard decl and one front porch. Super spacious. The neighbors were super friendly and so were their four legged fur babies. Mel was super nice and helpful. Always communicating. I would rent this again for another family vacation.

Checks Every Box!
It's hard to find a house like this in Tahoe that provides all the amenities my family looks for, dog friendly, kid friendly, hot tub, fireplace and room for two families! We feel so fortunate to have found this gem and continue to re book with Mel because she is an excellent host and we think this is a perfect property!!
