This home's interior is warm and inviting with wood plank walls and ceilings that rise to a loft, giving the open concept living area a spacious feel. Plentiful windows brighten up the space, and the deck just off the living room provides the ideal spot for relaxing and taking in gorgeous views of the lake and mountains in the distance. You'll have free WiFi to stay in touch with friends and family, and the well-equipped kitchen offers lots of counter space so the cooks in your group can spread out and create tasty snacks and meals.

I thought the location was great! I loved having access to the public docks right across the street. This made for easy access to the lake at any time of day. The view from the deck is wonderful, as can be seen in the pictures. Perfect sized cabin for my family of 5.

Ask your cleaning crew about cleaning delay. I can't send you pictures of that. Your cleaning crew in charge told me not to call you because they will be in trouble. Ask them. Check your TV in both bedrooms. They don't work. Check your front windows. They don't lock. I can't send you pictures because I didn't take any. Called you all more than 6 times including your manager. Keep on saying partial refund is being processed every time I call. Pretty bad experience with this cabin rental. You all keep on saying we will call back and nobody ever call me back. Can you please resolve this.

The location of this home is amazing! It is right across the street from the lake and has a great deck from which you can enjoy the view. However, the inside of the home is badly in need of repair and a deep cleaning. I have notified Vacasa about my concerns and am hopeful that they will make the essential improvements (Ex: the ground floor windows couldn't be locked) and am hopeful that they will make the experience better for others.

Nice little cabin overlooking Donner lake. Was very convenient for fishing, having a dock right infront of the cabin. Cabin was very relaxing with a deck in the front.

The cabin is very cute and it is in a beautiful lakeside setting. The place would be great and the high nightly rate would be better justified if the following simple issues were addressed: There is no door mat/shoe rack so snow and water make entryway a mess. The kitchen needs a mixing bowl, dish and hand towels and decent frying pans. Dishes and pots are generally worn, outdated or mismatched. Decent wine glass set would be nice. The toaster knob and fridge water dispenser are broken and there was not enough dish washer detergent to turn dishwasher on upon departure. The upstairs table lamp was broken (the caretaker was able to fix this by swapping it for one of the downstairs floorlamps.). The main TV had 3 remotes but no instructions: we got it on but were never able to adjust volume to watch anything. Nice little extras would be a pen, paper and some games or puzzles. Windows and door are quite drafty but the heating fireplace and standalone heaters kept the cabin warm. Parking spot would benefit from a sign. All very easy and inexpensive fixes to do the nice cabin justice.

This cabin is cute and is located in a beautiful lakeside setting. It could be great if the owners made small investment in functionality: better kitchen equipment (basic items like dish and hand towels and mixing bowls were missing, frying pans were worn, toaster was broken) and a floor mat/rack for snowy shoes by the front door. There were no instructions and the main TV with 3 remotes was difficult to operate: we were unable to adjust its volume so couldn't really use it. There were few other small issues already communicated to the rental agency.
