What a fantastic house! Quiet, beautiful, great outdoor space. Excellent place to bring a dog (there's a gate on the back deck!). We had such a wonderful time and can't wait to be back!

This house has EVERYTHING a family would need. Super happy with our stay!

The property and owners were fantastic! We have stayed in many places on VRBO over the years but this home was definitely stocked with just about everything you needed…down to plentiful amounts of spices for cooking! The game room was excellent for the kids and even some adults that enjoy some good time fashioned pinball. Plenty of room and good location for all your Truckee and North Tahoe activities!
4.9
This house is very large and we have plainly space for our group of 8 ( 6 adults and 2 teenagers). We really liked the hot tub and the deck very well furnished.
The kitchen is also large and very well equipped.
The house could have been cleaner but it was confortable.

This cabin is great for families. Has a game room, sauna, hot tub, and it is in a great location. We have stayed here several times. We always enjoy it and create fun memories.

We stayed at the property during an active winter weather event. I really appreciated the owner's suggestion and flexibility to arrive early to beat the bad weather. Once there everything went really well - driveway was plowed on schedule as was the neighborhood allowing us to take advantage of breaks in the weather (which did happen) and enjoy the area.
Property was roomy with enough private spaces for us to enjoy vacationing with our adult children and their spouses.

3 families stayed at this beautiful house celebrating 3 birthdays. House was very clean with lots of room. Game room was lots of fun for the kids. Outside patios were very comfortable and relaxing. We’ll definitely be back.
4.9
Overall we had a great stay here. Upon arrival it was very clear that the owners spend just as much time here as their guests though, so it did feel a tad unprofessional (I.e. owners personal clothes took up both closets in the master bedroom - one closet had a lock and the other was lock free but personal clothes filled both, fridge was half full of food etc), so I didn’t have anywhere to hang my clothes. However, it was a double edged sword because them staying here also meant the place was fully stocked with everything you would need during your stay. The back outdoor area was great- lots of seating and the hot tub was already set to 100 degrees so you didn’t have to wait to jump in- super nice! Bedding and towels could use a refresh (they were pretty scratchy). Plenty of bedrooms, bathrooms and space to spread out and relax. Washer and dryer was a nice touch too. LOVED the bathtub in the master - much much larger than most tubs! A little more attention to detail could be prioritized/a few things need fixing- curtain rod fell on me immediately upon arrival when opening kitchen slider, one window in the living room was broken. Overall happy with the house, just a little extra maintenance/attention could benefit the overall stay satisfaction.

We go to Donner every summer and have always wanted to find a place where we can go back to. Until this trip there was always something different we were looking for. This place was PERFECT for our family. Super spacious and such an amazing olace to stay. My whole family said this might be the one we make memories at every year!

Anja was super responsive. And the cabin was excellent. Only 12 minutes from Donner Lake and ample parking.
We literally didn’t have to bring anything besides food with us! Not knowing this, of course we over packed.
Would love to rent again. Plenty of room, great layout and super pet friendly.

Perfect weekend in
This is the coziest rental home I’ve been in a long time. We just wanted a place to hang out in and the house had everything we might need. The homeowners left instructions for all the gadgets and appliances. The hot tub was amazing, and the kitchen had every utensil we needed. Would love to stay there again!

Beautiful home full of fun amenities
I truly enjoyed my stay in Truckee while staying in this home with my family including our dogs. The purpose of our trip was just to relax and enjoy time together which the house enabled us to do as we never wanted to leave. Not only were the owners super responsive which made me feel at ease prior to arriving but their house was full of activities for everyone (hot tub, game room, puzzles, comfy sofas that reclined for every person, outdoor space to enjoy breakfast and dinner outside, many places to nap!, a pet-friendly home) that allowed us to all have fun separately and together. Would highly-recommend staying here and would definitely plan on staying here again.
4.9
Spacious and cozy
We really enjoyed our stay at this house, there is a ton of space for bigger families, we had 3 couples and felt like we could all have our privacy and be together when we wanted.
Anja and Peter were fantastic hosts and responded immediately when we had a few things pop up, we greatly appreciate how respectful and quick to respond they were.
We would absolutely recommend staying here if you want quiet and beautiful sites!

Awesome house!

Family get-away
This place has it all! Anja was very responsive and friendly. It sleeps 6 adults comfortably, but there is definitely room for more. Everything was as described and the game room was a hit. Not too far from skiing. We are so grateful that this family opened their home to us and we will be booking here again! We also lucked out with snow during our visit so there was plenty of sledding and snow play on the property.

Great Getaway
If you are planning a trip to Truckee with your family & pets this is a great place to stay.
The cabin has something for everyone: Hot tub & suana, game room with a good variety of games for all ages, snow play right in the back yard off of the deck. Roku for streaming Netflix/Amazon. Nice kitchen that is fully stocked. Location is great.

Snow fun

Nice getaway for family & friends
This was a nice little getaway for my husband’s birthday. Our reservation was for three nights and we stayed on the property the whole time and took advantage of all the amenities. My kids loved the game room and playing outside in the snow. It took awhile for the hot tub to heat up but it felt amazing when it finally got hot. My husband really enjoyed the sauna. The kitchen had everything we needed and we enjoyed the eclectic decor of the house. Communication with Anja was prompt and she was kind enough to help us when we inadvertently left some items behind. We would love to stay here again.

Perfect 3-day snow trip getaway
After the quarantine process, our adult kids joined us for a nice break for skiing, hiking and lounging just before Christmas. Anja and Peter's place is warm and inviting and I'll be bringing family friends post-covid for some hiking and golf. The combo of 70's and 80's music memorabilia and travel souvenirs was a nice touch, as was their eclectic DVD library! All amenities were well maintained and our cooking experience was like being back at home.

Winter Weekend
