The Hansel House had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay in Tahoe Donner! The home was very neat and clean, and has plenty of room to spread out for larger parties. The neighborhood was incredibly quiet which was wonderful. The property owner was also quick to respond to any inquiries. We had an amazing stay, and we hope to come back to this home in the future!

This house was perfect, well stocked kitchen and comfortable furniture. Great layout and dog friendly. We stayed for a week, worked from here (fast Internet) and enjoyed hiking and eating out. We had never stayed in the summer and it's such a fun place to be without snow. Would definitely stay here again.

This is the rare VRBO that is way better than the pictures. Beautiful, comfortable home with tons of space and giant picture windows. It has everything you need and is in a very accessible location. Thank you for the great stay in Truckee! We had a blast. Love that it is dog friendly and lots of slow play area in front and back.

Wonderful stay in Truckee, the location was perfect, close to ski resorts and shops. The host was very responsive and was extremely accommodating...There was the large snow storm that made travel unsafe and he was willing to transfer it to the next weekend. There was plenty of space for us to lounge after a long day on the slopes. Everything was clean and working. Would definitely come back to stay.

Really enjoyed this home! Great set up inside and lots of space outside to play. The bonus game room downstairs was a hit for our young adult kids and the ability to have our pup join us, truly made this a family event. Thank you for being dog friendly. Also the owner was a great communicator and also allowed us to start our weekend earlier by letting us in before 5. Thank you! Highly recommend!

The cabin is cozy, clean, and centrally located. We have three young sons who loved playing and sledding in the open space behind the cabin. We went on a few fun day trips within 45 miles of the cabin, including tubing and snowboarding at soda springs and a visit to the Fun Quest arcade at GSR in Reno.

Wonderful Winter Stay

Wonderful Winter Stay

The home was well situated in the central Truckee area for skiing and exploring the area. Property was clean and well stocked with kitchen supplies, towels, linens, detergent, soap, etc. The driveway is steep - so be aware in winter you WILL need 4-wheel drive as advised in the property description. We did not use the Tahoe-Donner facilities (gym, hot tub, etc) but it was available. The WIFI was strong; TV had Apple TV with all the usual channels available. Scott responded quickly to all my inquiries during my stay. We had such a good time we plan to book again for next year!

A lovely place to be snowed in

A lovely place to be snowed in

We stayed at this house from Christmas to New Years with two kids, two grandparents, and our dog. We were there during an unprecedented snow storm that closed all major highways and ski resorts. The house was very clean and cozy. The beds were extremely comfortable. We found everything we needed for cooking in the kitchen. Scott was great about keeping us informed on local power and Internet outages as well as what we could expect regarding snow clearance, shops that might be open, etc. There was a Truckee-wide power outage on one day, but we used the wood burning stove to heat the house and were able to cook on the gas stove, so we stayed warm and well fed. And once skiing etc. opened up, we were very happy with the location which is very convenient to both the Tahoe Donner cross country and downhill skiing. Despite a rocky start due to the weather, we were able to get in five days of skiing, lots of sledding in the front yard, and plenty of quality family time. Hope to stay at this lovely house again in the future.

Awesome pet friendly Tahoe Donner Cabin!!!

Awesome pet friendly Tahoe Donner Cabin!!!

We had a wonderful time in the month of October with work/vacation in this beautiful cabin. It's located in a neighborhood with plenty of trails close by and really, just outside the front door. Nice restaurants and shops in Truckee were an unexpected surprise. We were fortunate to have the best fall and winter weather. When it snowed I felt like I was in a snow globe looking out the windows... wonderful way to work! Cabin had everything I needed and much more and was very spacious! Wi-Fi was great. I did purchase a 25-foot ethernet cable because I wanted to be hardwired during those Zoom meetings. Scott was extremely helpful and answered all questions quickly. I'm looking forward to coming back next year!!!

Nice cabin, but needs more attention

Nice cabin, but needs more attention

It's a very nice cabin in a good area, but cleanliness was an issue. We specifically booked this place because of its overall rating, the price, it allows dogs, and states there are 3 separate beds (2 queens and 1 double). At arrival we saw that one of the bedrooms had bunk beds, which was not described in the listing and not okay with the person who stayed in that room. All the bedroom walls were covered with dirt. Dusty throughout the house. The front entryway and the back patio had not been blown or swept in quite a while so we had to clean all the chairs on the back patio that we wanted to sit on and it was hard not to track debris inside. Plenty of towels and extra linens were provided. On day of departure, when we stripped all the bed linens, we found that one couple had slept with a urine-covered comforter and duvet (unwashed, not stained!) during the three nights of the stay and all the bed pillows were stained yellow. This is a nice property that should easily deserve an excellent rating but cleanliness needs to be greatly improved.

Convenient location to downtown Truckee, this home had everything we needed for our month long “WFH” stay. We especially liked the easy access to the community hiking trails, and found most of our neighbors to be friendly or non existent except for weekends.

Typing one handed bc I broke quite a few bones on a bike ride THE FIRST DAY. I mention this bc we spent a lot more time in the house relaxing than planned and it was lovely. Nice amenities, good TV and wifi set up, very cozy. Despite the ER visit I’d say it was a trip $

Terrific winter stay

Terrific winter stay

We had a lovely time at this home. The house was very clean. The house was actually more light filled and fresh than the pictures demonstrated. Scott was very responsive, though there was really little we needed to contact him for as our arrival and stay went smoothly. Because of covid It was only our immediate family of 4, but would be perfect for 2 families. The kids had fun sledding down the front hill. In the back it was just a beautiful view of trees.

A great family gateway and a fantastic host

Very well maintained, clean and warm cabin in a very quiet neighborhood. The house is very comfortable, has plenty of space and felt like home. The bonus room downstairs was great for kids hanging out. We enjoyed our stay. An owner, Scott was very responsive and all the instructions were so well organized and clear. Moreover I messed up with the calendar and booked one night more than we planned, and didn't figure it out till the time we left the cabin. Scott was so kind and quickly issued as a refund for the last night we didn't stay. We'd definitely hope to stay here again. Thank you Scott!

Although we got there with two feet of snow...the cabin is very cozy, has a well stocked kitchen and very functional in a nice location. Best part was the owner is so responsive and GREAT. We will rent again in summer this time! Only marginal thing was they desperately need new linen and towels!! Thanks Scott!
