It was a nice ski get away close to Palisades and Boreal so I could free ski and train when not doing my school work. A Safeway is also nearby if you need to get groceries or pick up something you forgot.
Great spacious cabin. Very comfortable. Perfect location and easy driveway to navigate in snow. Owner was super helpful and responsive. Definitely will go back!!
Great high elevation spot, one of the last places to have snow on the ground. The cabin is wonderful with a lot of cozy space for a big group. The owner is a very helpful guy with quick communication. The owner stays in an attached granny unit and we would sometimes even hear him talking through the walls. It's not a big deal but feel that is something that should be disclosed and it might change the seclusion/privacy that some guests are looking for. It was still a great stay though and we would consider returning.
The property is a little dated but very roomy. The kitchen stove top and refrigerator are updated and very nice. Backyard is facing the golf course and there was a lot of snow. Kids had great fun. The owner Alex is very responsive. He stayed at a unit next to the house so he could come and help as needed. Be aware the cell phone reception isn’t good in the area so you will need to rely on Wi-Fi. Overall a great vacation and we really enjoyed our stay.
My family of 5 stayed here for a week in February, with another group joining us for part of our stay. This is a large house with a large common area and many beds. Overall very comfortable living arrangements, although a bit dated with wear and tear. The kitchen is better stocked than most short-term rentals and has a new fridge, stove/oven, and dishwasher.
The AV equipment is dated, including VHS tapes. They do have standard cable channels available too.
A huge perk is the garage (which accommodated 2 SUVs fine), especially when it snowed 9 inches in a day. The driveway was plowed as well.
Check-in and communication with Alex was excellent. He was staying in another part of the house (separate entrance) but we never felt that our privacy was encroached upon.
Overall we were very pleased with the stay and had a great trip!
Really nice common area for a large group. A table for dining, a table for jigsaw puzzles or board games, and two seating areas. We could all be together but not in each other's faces.
Host was very accommodating and quick to respond to questions.
We would definitely stay here again.
I cannot say enough great things about out stay! We absolutely LOVED the house! It was beautiful and spacious while still managing to feel cozy. Great hot tub and fireplace, comfortable beds. The house is also super close to where we were skiing which was great! Alex, the owner, was amazing, and kindly rescued a group of southerners who had no idea how to drive in the snow. He was so friendly and easy to get in touch with when we had any questions. We all agreed that the next time we are in Tahoe this is where we will stay!!! You will not be disappointed!
Cabin had lots of amenities and features that we resorted to staying in most of the time.

Potential But Needs Work
This property has potential. It is large and lived in.
However, several things made us question its cleanliness. And quite a number of things demonstrated that attention has not been paid to upkeep.
This house was amazing and just like the listing! We were two families with parents and 2 kids and everyone had more than enough room! The location is perfect and sits right on a golf courses but you still have a lot of privacy in the backyard! My kids loved exploring the wooded area behind the house...there is a little stream that runs behind too! The hot tub was amazing, the kitchen is more updated than the pictures showed so that was a great surprise! The host, Alex was amazing and easy to connect with. We will be back! One of the best rentals we have had!
Stayed for a few days in this wonderful cabin – Alex was a great host and was very accommodating of my friend's ESA. Tons of living space, natural light, and fast wifi which was great since we were all working remote, though those of us with AT&T had no cell service in the area. The cabin is right next to a golf course, which was amazing during a snowstorm as it gave us plenty of room to romp around in the fresh powder. Would definitely stay again!
Good for a ski trip, squaw is 30 minutes away. The owner stayed in a guest house on the property and there’s quiet hours after 10pm due to the neighbors
House was everything we expected plus more! It was extremely clean and perfect size for large parties. It is located near grocery stores and food places. Host was extremely responsive and answered all questions. Can’t wait to book my next vacation here!
Alex was great about communication. I could tell he cared about making sure we had an excellent stay. The living space was large and perfect for our group to hang out and play games. The hot tub area was very cool as well. I can’t wait to stay again in the winter!

DO NOT STAY HERE
This property needs work prior to being rented out. It has some great new upgrades but many basics are broken. The dishwasher was broken. Great jacuzzi tub in the master bedroom, but there was no hot water to that room for 3 days. The bear box has a faulty replacement latch so we woke up to garbage all over the driveway 2 out of 3 mornings. There are holes in the wall in the living room. All but 1 of the sliding doors failed to close or got stuck. One of our children was trapped in the bathroom for 20 minutes until we could pry the door open. Quite traumatizing for a child. Back patio lights are literally hanging from the wall and don't work. Window screens are either missing or have holes. Tough when you rely on night air for cooling. The owner has been out of the country for 6 months and needs to see this house in person. It has potential to be great but needs serious work. And after sharing all of these issues with the owner he offered $100?! Ridiculous! VRBO should pull this house from listings until it's repaired.
Everything was great! The place was very clean and the hot tub was ready for us to use. We were a fairly large group including myself and my kids ranging in ages 1, 8, 12, & 15, my parents, and my sister and her boyfriend. There was plenty of room for all of us. It was very spacious, clean, and we all truly enjoyed ourselves. Alex was great he let me know everything we needed to know before we got there and was easily reached if we needed anything although we didn't need anything once we got there. The whole process was pretty easy and convenient. We would definitely use this place again.
Perfect Home for an Extended Family Mountain Get Away
Great location, we easily accessed three different ski areas - Sugar Bowl, Donner Ski Ranch, and Tahoe-Donner. The kids loved sledding on the fairway directly behind the house. The house is very homey with lots of great amenities, very clean and comfortable. Especially enjoyed the steam showers and hot tub. The kids also loved the large-screen projection TV. Alex, the host, provided excellent communications and help from the time we placed the reservation through out our stay. Being a bicyclist, I really enjoyed the retro cycling posters that are displayed through out the house.
We stayed at this property to celebrate a family birthday, enjoy the snow, and ski at a nearby resort. We were a fairly large group, and we used every bedroom in the house, and it fit us perfectly. The large open family room was just right for our group. We kept fires going in the fireplaces and the house stayed toasty warm. We enjoyed using the hot tub every day. The backyard view is gorgeous. The owner was very helpful, and responded quickly to answer all of our questions. Would absolutely stay here again.
