Winter getaway for families

We were a group of 3 families, all with children, staying for a getaway in the snow. And we got that! This house is a great set up for groups with separate rooms for kids and parents, a tree house, a pool table, and plenty of space for all. Everything was better than we expected inside and outside. The host was responsive and incredibly gracious when we thought we may get snowed in on our check out day. Overall, we all agreed we would stay there again!

Loved our stay!

This is the second time we have stayed at this home. While the photos on VRBO website are a bit dark, the home is not. There are beautiful views from every window as well as a wide deck to step out onto to enjoy the morning freshness. The kitchen is well stocked. The hosts/owners are very responsive. We hope to go back again.

Great family get away, room for everyone

Our stay at this massive cabin was really enjoyable. Lots of space for everyone to have a comfy room/bed and the ping pong table was excellent. Staying in Truckee/Donner in the summer is all about the lake and access only takes about 5 minutes down the road to the state park.

great Donner lake home for the family

We had eight adults and three little ones, and the house worked great-spacious and room for everyone. Big table where we all could eat together and a great fire pit for s'mores each night. Would highly recommend and would go back to.

Nice Getaway

We love the area and the location was what we were looking for, which is not always easy to find. The guests and especially kids enjoyed the property. A couple items in the home need some attention, as well as a deep clean. But the house served its purpose.

Wonderful, comfortable home

We were a multigenerational family group ranging in age from 5-77, and the house was ideal for us. Great location close to Donner Lake, which has the best beach and playgrounds! We drove around the area and visited Lake Tahoe (25-30 min drive), Donner Pass (15 min, spectacular), local state park, Truckee etc. Everything was easy and uncrowded and stunning. The house is clean, well equipped and we were very comfortable and enjoyed the fabulous views and environment. Curtis was an excellent host too. We would love to stay there again!

Very large house accommodated 6 easily with separate bedrooms and baths. Seniors should know that long stairways are a challenge. Great amenities and well equipped but needs a little TLC. On a hillside above lake in beautiful setting..

Best family place!

We love coming to this cabin with our family for snow play or water play in the summer. Plenty of room for everyone, the granddaughters loved the Playhouse. Lots of room to spread out for reading or playing pool and the wonderful large table is perfect for family everything. Great communication with the host. We are so grateful to be able to come.
