We stayed for 5 nights with our family. Love the location which allowed us to swim and kayak right across from the property. 4 bedrooms and 3 baths as advertised but be aware that the 4 th bedroom and bath are a separate apartment accessed below the deck of the house. We loved it for our son from out of state. The house is dated but has what you need. The host, Max, was great with communication! I hope he will make the needed updates soon so I can give more stars.

The home is beautiful, spacious, clean, well appointed with everything you need to make your stay easy and carefree, From high end appliances, ample tableware, cookware, paper products, well stocked spice drawer, comfortable beds and sofas, large bathrooms, fluffy towels, and room to stretch out. There are pleanty of restaurants, grocery stores and bakeries within a 6-10 minute drive. We especially enjoyed Zano's Italian restaurant. And last but not least, the stunning views of Donner Lake which is directly across the street. It's absolutely beautiful. we enjoyed our walks along the shore. Max, the owner is great and made himself available to answer any questions we may have had. He also left a plate of homemade cookies on the counter and a wonderful welcome note. What a happy and memorable way to begin our stay. Thank you Max.

What a wonderful property and the owner really takes pride in his property. Plenty of room for my family members and such a gorgeous view to wake up to each morning with a cup of coffee in hand. Highly recommend!

We loved staying here! Pet friendly (we brought our cat). Big patio, lots of sleeping space, well stocked kitchen. The owner called before our stay to make sure we had directions and was overall very friendly. Walking distance to a cute ice-cream shop was a bonus!

The Truckee/Tahoe area was hit with historic snow fall and our trip had to be delayed by 2 days because the highways were closed. The owner kept us informed of the conditions and worked with us to extend our stay a day longer and refunded us for the one missed day. The owner and cabin were fantastic.

We are very happily to have found this gem! A beautiful view from the deck of Donner Lake and right across the street is a swimming spot, with many public piers a short walk away. The layout for the cabin is perfect for a crowd. The downstairs sleeping area is a little apartment separate from the main cabin for privacy and an upstairs provides the same, just as part of the main house. Communication with the owner was easy and friendly. The cabin is well equipped and very clean. Would love to stay again!
