Loved our stay at the Fox Den

Nancy had a phone call with me before our visit to make sure we knew all we needed to about Truckee and the house and she was very responsive when we had a couple questions during our stay and made sure that we had everything we needed. The house was in the perfect location for us to easily explore Truckee and get to Palisades quickly to ski!

Fun House for Family

The variety of spaces made this a good house for our multigenerational family--game and puzzle room, quiet places for reading, dining and deck with lake view, infinite places for hide and seek. We didn't turn a tv on all week.

Great location

The house was nice and clean and had room for our group. The loft was nice for the kids and the deck was nice to relax. The location is really nice if you want to visit Donner Lake. The owners were nice and responsive to questions. We would definitely return to this property.

Amazing and very comfortable

We were very impressed with the Fox Den cabin. It is all newly remodeled and very clean. It fit our family of 8 perfect with plenty of room to spare. The cabin was completely equipped with everything we needed, including baby gates, playpen, and high chair. We will definitely be coming back!

Incredible week long getaway!
