Great Tahoe Donner Cabin

The property was just as advertised and just what we were looking for. We were close enough to everything, and just a few minutes away from Truckee and its restaurants and cafés. House is well laid out and on a quiet street, easily accessible. The host was exceptionally easy to deal with and answered all of our questions and was available for questions after check-in. All in all a great stay! The next time we go back up to visit family we will definitely stay again

comfortable, cozy, convenient

We took our teens during winter for some fun in the snow. The location is great: close to downtown Truckee and all that Tahoe Donner has to offer. The cabin is cozy and comfortable. Other reviewers have mentioned that it is dated, and some of the fixtures and furnishings may be a bit dated, but everything was operational, comfortable, and this is one of the more affordably priced rentals in the area. The owner is very responsive and super helpful, too. There are lots of games to play, comfortable beds, and a well-appointed kitchen. We enjoyed our stay and think this would be a great place to visit in the summer, too!

Fantastic Tahoe Donner Cabin

This cabin was lovely and had everything we needed to enjoy a winter holiday! Having the driveway cleared in the morning after a big snowfall was a wonderful surprise :). Love the dog-friendly option, Lola thought it was the best. The hosts were super responsive when we had questions.

Cozy cabin

We had a really nice stay at this cabin. The location is great — right in Tahoe Donner. The neighborhood is quiet and we had nice walks in the area. We came for spring skiing and had both snow and a few days of warm temps — glorious. We’ve stayed at a bunch of places in this area and this one was well-sized for our family of 4. The rustic feel is very typical and matches the mountain setting. The games available were fun and the WiFi signal was strong for working while away. The beds were comfortable and we had everything we needed.

Great house and great location

We had a great trip in winter. The house was perfect for our family. It was well stocked, warm, had everything we needed, and the location was perfect. We enjoyed the Tahoe Donner sno-play nearby, and liked being near shops and grocery stores in town. The owner was easy to reach when we had a question and check in was easy. We would definitely come again!

beautiful home, poor communication with Prop Manager

The home was very nice, spacious, comfortable and as advertised. I give 1 star due to the poor interaction with the property manager who is attempting to charge me for water pipe damages. Upon checkin, the water was turned off. I called the prop manager but never got a response. We did find the water valve eventually. The checkout had much longer instructions than usual not only taking out trash, turning down heat, cleaning dishes, but stripping the bed, towels and putting all in the laundry, turning off the water. We completed all the tasks upon checkout day at 8:30am. 2 days later, the manager contacted me and claimed we did not turn off the water and the pipes froze and one of the balcony doors was open. She claimed that I would charged for the pipe damage. We definitely turned off the water and doublechecked it was turned off the way. We did not even touch the balcony door as the balcony was full of snow. I let the prop manager know we completed the checkout instructions as instructed and she should check with her cleaning crew. I do not appreciate the accusatory tone of the manager and trying to scam more money from reliable clients. I have contacted VRBO customer service who says we are not obligated to pay any additional fees as it is not part of the contract Do not stay at this VRBO unless you want a headache!!!!

Amy was responsive and amazing to communicate with. Check in/out was simple and the cabin was well stocked with everything we needed to eat our meals in over the weekend as well as some snow shoes and sleds in the garage for playing in the snow. The neighborhood is beautiful and easy to access. The cabin isn’t fancy but it made time with 5 adults and 2 young grandkids relaxed and stress free. We will definitely be back.

Lots of potential, but disappointing, overall…

Here is an honest, comprehensive review to help Tahoe-Truckee visitors make an informed decision prior to booking. POSITIVES+ -Easy check-in -Good location - easy driving distance to Donner Lake/ eateries & shops in downtown Truckee -Nice neighborhood - surrounding homes were attractive/ appeared well-maintained -Comfortable queen beds downstairs & upstairs -Upstairs bedding appeared clean & freshly laundered -Towels were clean & plentiful -Laundry room was functional & much appreciated -Showerheads & drains functioned properly -Silverware was plentiful & in good condition -Coffeemaker functioned properly as did the stovetop, oven, & refrigerator -Dogs allowed ;-) we were grateful to be able to include our 2 canine girls on our trip NEGATIVES- Cleanliness & the usual amenities of a functioning household were lacking. We realized that our original plan to dine in most evenings was no longer a viable option. It was also a bit demoralizing to tend to necessary chores & repairs after our 10-hour drive from southern CA as indicated by the following examples: -No hot water - my boyfriend had to light the pilot to the water heater so we could shower after our long travel day -Dirty dishes in the dishwasher - my sister’s boyfriend owns a handyman service & quickly did troubleshooting under the kitchen sink to connect the water line to the dishwasher. -Cleanliness of bedding on downstairs bed was suspect; we laundered it & remade the bed the 1st night -Most surfaces were visibly dirty with built-up grime - I wiped down kitchen/ bathroom counters & faucets, toilets, light switches, tabletops, & windowsills upstairs & downstairs. Cleaning cloths were black with accumulated filth. (Btw, I elected not to clean/remove layers of dust and cobwebs from blinds, vents, or the circulating fans; which we avoided using) -Window lock broken in downstairs bedroom - access to fresh air during the night would have been welcomed -No full set of steak knives or wine glasses - we passed around one decent knife discovered in the kitchen drawer and a pocket knife from home to enjoy our dinner in! -No grill was provided as advertised - it would have been appropriate to provide a propane option or update the listing; we used the cast iron pan to prepare the steaks we intended to grill -Deck was covered in accumulated debris & railing in front was loose and not secured -Plastic Adirondack chairs on the deck were brittle & broken

About the host

Hosted by Amy Lerseth

Host profile image
Hi there! Our names are Amy and Brian. We live in Sacramento, California with our four young sons. Having grown up in Northern California we both love the Tahoe area and absolutely fell in love with Donner Lake and the Tahoe Donner community. Naturally, with four boys, we are an exceptionally active family and Tahoe Donner has something for every one of the boys in every season. We are thrilled to have been able to make this mountain cabin dream come true for our family. We're looking forward to sharing our little piece of paradise with you and hope you'll love it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

The cabin is located in lower Tahoe Donner, which makes it really close to all of the Tahoe Donner amenities (clubhouses, golf courses, pools, tennis courts, etc.) and also a short jaunt to Historic Downtown Truckee. In fact, there is a walking trail that starts just down the street from our cabin that leads directly to the heart of the restaurants and shops in Downtown Truckee. Our street is a loop and is therefore really quiet; on many days you'll see more people walking than driving.
