About this cabin rental
This cabin is perfect for multiple families who want to have a great get-away together. It is not set up for large groups of adults. The two story chalet features four bedrooms and enough beds to sleep up to 10 people. The large deck also has a hot tub to help you relax at the end of your day. The location in Tahoe Donner puts you right in the center of both winter and summer activities, but is also located on a quiet, forested street that provides a relaxing place to stay.
The Cabin is a roomy, charming and well-appointed home located on a flat lot in a beautiful wooded setting. The home welcomes you with comfortable furnishings, tasteful decorations, and all the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay. The Cabin is the perfect place to make memories with your family and friends and take in all the sights and activities that make Tahoe famous.
The downstairs rooms feature a California King in one room and a pillow top Queen bed in the second room. Upstairs is a larger room with a California King bed, and a large bedroom with 2 queens and 2 bunk beds and a TV. It is the perfect kids area. A day bed in loft opens to a king sized bed.
Tahoe Donner is a highly desirable, year-round mountain community located in the historic town of Truckee. The area is easily accessible from Highway 80, and just 35 miles from Reno and 100 miles from Sacramento. You can find excellent casual and fine dining as well as unique specialty shops in old town Truckee, which is just minutes away. Groceries, a hardware store, cafes, etc. are also just minutes away.
Tahoe Donner has one of the best ski resorts for young skiers and people just learning to ski. Within minutes are 10 other ski resorts including Squaw Valley, Alpine Meadows, Sugar Bowl, and Northstar. If cross country skiing is your winter sport, Tahoe Donner has one of California's largest x-country ski parks, and was recently named the third best in the country. Numerous trails for snow shoeing and hills for sledding are located right in Tahoe Donner.
And when the snow melts, break out the golf clubs, mountain bikes, and river rafts. Tahoe Donner has two recreation areas with swimming pools and has a private beach on the East end of Donner Lake. Miles of hiking trails, adventure parks, and miniature golf courses supply endless hours of fun for the whole family.
Some of the other amenities include high-speed wireless, private hot tub, access to Tahoe Donner facilities (for a small fee), parking room for 4 vehicles, and a perfect area for kids to hang out while adults enjoy their time together.
We are a no smoking cabin. If you are a smoker or plan to travel with smokers, this is not the property for you. . We do allow families that are looking to create special memories together. We do not allow pets due to previous experiences that resulted in damage to our property.

Our family had a wonderful stay over the 4th of July Holiday. Perfect location. Quiet area and close enough to go to the lake for the day. The house layout was great for our family. Our kids loved the kids hang out area upstairs. Kitchen was fully stocked which was great for family meals. Hosts were responsive and kind. We love to come back next time during winter!

Really enjoyed our stay at this property. A great place for families and younger kids. Lots of space, games and easy to get to the slopes and restaurants.
Brian was super responsive and flexible. Very refreshing to have a host that was so easy to work with and helpful!

Brian’s property is just wonderful. Great location in lovely Tahoe Donner, and the cabin is beautifully looked after with a great layout. Three “grown up” bedrooms are really evenly sized (often a problem with big properties) and the large bunk room was a huge bonus with kids in the mix. We were three small families with four kids under the age of 10, and the kids loved their room, playing, building forts, etc. while we could enjoy the roomy living space. Great kitchen and dining area, and the hot tub right there on the deck was just great. Large backyard area for great snow play with the kids (and adults!) Communication with Brian was easy, and he made our stay so welcoming. Possibly the best vacation home experience we’ve had to date! Even check out was easy, as the large washing machines were accessible and made helping out with a few loads of sheets and towels no chore before we left. Thank you, Brian!

We absolutely loved our stay here. It's a beautfiul, clearn, extremely well-kept propertyin a great location in Truckee. My two children (ages 7 and 9) were thrilled with the space too -- my daughter suggested we give the place "105 stars," but unfortunately we were limited to five. We also appreciated the host contacting us beforehand to let us know we could arrive early. All in all, a great experience.

Place is laid out really great. Huge upper area (with door that closes) with lots of beds and tv. Had all amenities needed. Tons of towels. Kids loved swimming in the spa. We’d happily stay here again!

This was our second year renting the Tahoe Donner home of Brian Hicks and his wife. We plan a 4 day ski trip during February each year and find their home to be a wonderful place to stay.
It is clean, comfortable and well supplied with many of the basic necessities. There was plenty of wood for the fireplace and the hot tub was a welcome refuge after a day of skiing.
But more important than all of this was their generosity and understanding when our son had a serious fall and needed surgery in Truckee. They willingly and without hesitation allowed one of our family members to stay at their home beyond our rental time. He stayed there until our son was released from the hospital and able to come home. Their kindness helped to alleviate much stress during a really difficult time. And we can never repay them for that.

Wonderful Getaway!
This property was beautiful and perfect for a long weekend getaway with friends. The house is beautifully remodeled. There is plenty of space for you to relax and the kids to play. Bunk room and game closet were a huge hit! The extras like a pack n play and baby gate were super helpful for our family. Highly recommend and will definitely stay again!

Annual Family Ski Trip
The Hick's Tahoe home was all that we had hoped it would be. The location was convenient and the home itself more than met our needs and expectations. It was spotlessly clean and the attention to details was apparent. Simple things, like the refrigerator being totally empty allowed plenty of room for our food. There were hangars in all of the closets. The throws on the living room couches were welcome additions while watching TV.
The younger family members loved using the upstairs bunk room for sleeping and hanging out. Brian, the owner, responded immediately when we had difficulty with the television and concerns with the hot tub. Both situations were resolved quickly.
We would definitely recommend this home to others and will hopefully return next year for our annual family ski trip.

Thoughtful Hosts & Well-Loved House
Brian was a very gracious host for our Thanksgiving stay. He made sure the house was ready with all the necessities, including a roasting pan and baster for our turkey. His thoughtfulness made life a lot easier on us, which meant we were able to just focus on enjoying our vacation time as a family. The house itself is clearly well-used and well-loved, with all the amenities you'd expect in a rental and more. We'd love to stay again!

We had an amazing time at this property! The house is fully stocked with everything and anything you would imagine needing to have. We had a great time using the spa every day, having a fire in the fireplace and playing in the snow! We were lucky enough to have it snow while we were there. Leading up to the rental, Brian was extremely communicative and always answered any questions that we had. We loved our stay here and we can't wait to return in the future!

We rent multiple homes each ski season in Tahoe Donner with another family, and this home was one of the best we've rented in a while. An A-frame that has been upgraded throughout - the blurry pics don't do justice to the nice open kitchen/living/dining room. Lots of room for two families of four, with a great space for four boys to call their own - the adults couldn't even hear them from the living room. Quiet street, large hot tub and good-sized garage for one car plus a range of skis and sleds. Plenty of kitchen utensils, towels, bathroom supplies, wood and everything else we needed. Most importantly, all this for a very reasonable price relative to some of the other homes we have rented. Plus, Brian was a great and communicative host.
