Wooded Escape
Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
Permit #: 027698
Occupancy: 10
Escape to Truckee and revel in a beautiful wooded setting, private hot tub, shared pool*, and year-round access to outdoor activities when you make this newly redesigned vacation rental your home away from home. There's a bunk room with custom wood bunks, a mounted TV, and plenty of space for the kids to play.
You'll be nestled in the forest in the Tahoe Donner neighborhood, only four miles from downtown Truckee, where you can do a little shop browsing or dining, or hang out for coffee with the locals at Coffeebar or Dark Horse. In the winter, head to the Tahoe Donner Downhill Ski area, only three miles from you, or for a more challenging time on the slopes, head west 10 miles to Sugar Bowl, or east 13 miles to Northstar. In the summer, spend some time at Donner Lake for kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, fishing, or swimming and lolling in the sun at the west-end beach.
The open-design living area is expansive and bright with vaulted, wood plank ceilings, and plentiful large windows. Bask in the warm profusion of sunshine filtering in and plan out your days with the help of the high-speed free WiFi, settle in to watch a show on the 65-inch flatscreen TV, or read a book while you warm up with the fireplace. The kitchen is well-equipped and offers lots of storage and counter space, as well as a dishwasher, so meal prep and clean-up is made easy. You can also pack light for your trip and keep the laundry under control, thanks to the private washer/dryer. And don't forget the private hot tub or the balcony with new patio furniture to enjoy the mountain views! This family-friendly home also has an extensive collection of movies and games.

Great space, just a few things were not working and it got hot in the summer with no blinds on the massive living room windows and the fan was not working.

The cabin was nice and clean. The cabin is located in a quiet area. It had all the amenities for our stay. Very close to Donner Lake and nearby trails. Highly recommend this place.
4.6
We had a wonderful stay at this cabin. It is located in a beautiful area and backs onto green space, so felt very private yet it is just a short drive to downtown Truckee.
The house is spacious yet cozy, well decorated, and the furniture in the living room was very comfy. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed, as we cooked every night, and was exceptionally clean! The bed in the master bedroom was very comfortable and we loved the waterfall shower head in the ensuite bathroom. We had no issue with the internet, as mentioned in previous reviews, it worked fine the whole time we were there.
Highly recommend this house and would definitely come back.

I loved everything about this cabin and am definitely coming back! We loved everything about the stay, absolutely everything! The kitchen is fully equipped. Since I was cooking for everyone, I wasn't sure exactly what they had since website did not mention, but they have everything from cups/utensils/mugs/knife set/mixing bowls/cutting boards/a pan/serving dishes/etc. Beautiful property, well decorated, comfortable beds, cozy, hot tub was very nice, honestly every detail about this property is phenomenal!

Easy access to TahoeDonner and great place to stay

We enjoyed the stay, the house has a great location and wonderful sunny upstairs living room and deck. It is a large house. Downstairs bedrooms are dark. There is a wonderful kids room downstairs that our kids and enjoyed. Loved our time in hot tub too. What we didn’t like: the house is pretty bare bones in terms of what the management company provides. We had to buy our own dishwasher soap, and laundry detergent, cooking oil, etc. To be fair we had 4 kids and 3 adults and 3 dishwasher tablets and a few pods of washing detergent weren’t enough for our large group. We recommend this property to others

This place is in a good location and the house has a good layout. That's where the positives end. We have stayed in many vacation rentals and really aren't picky people, but this place was a bit too much even for us! The house was not very clean when we arrived -- laundry unfinished, garbage (that had become moldy) and recycling bags left in the garage, stained towels in the bathroom. We were given incorrect wifi and password and the router was not working. The toilet in the primary bath ran continually and we had to reattach the chain multiple times to get it to flush. We had no Wifi for the first 4 days. The rug in the living room was stained and had glass shards in it (which someone stepped in). The hot tub was quite dirty and there was a vial that had contained weed lying next to it. I called for help multiple times and was clearly speaking to someone far away as they didn't know how to pronounce "Truckee." I also texted in to get help and was told that someone local would be contacting me. Nobody did. The kitchen lacked basics like foil or plastic wrap, and many items in the kitchen were broken. The BBQ was full of burnt food from prior guests and nearly combusted when we cooked something. In short, it's a place that is in need of a deep clean and has a lot of deferred maintenance. Find someplace else to stay!

This house has plenty of room for three couples plus kids. We especially appreciated that three of the bedrooms had king-sized beds so the adults weren't squashed together. The upstairs living area is comfortable and very open and the kitchen is spacious.
We were there during a pretty warm weekend in July, and we knew going in that it didn't have AC (few houses do in Truckee), so we emailed ahead to ask if it had ceiling fans or box fans. The property manager replied that it did not. When we get there, we saw that the living room and primary bedroom did have ceiling fans but we couldn't find any switch in the house or any remote that controlled them so we couldn't turn them on. We brought our own small electric fans and those kept us comfortable enough for sleeping. When we were checking out, we found several box fans in the closets!
The wifi info the property manager gave us was also outdated so we couldn't get online for a while and cell reception is poor. We finally got connected but it kept going in and out. So the house could benefit from a new router or some sort of booster perhaps.
The kitchen was well stocked overall, but inexplicably, there are only like 6 spoons and 4 wine glasses.
The place is comfortable and well kept overall, but these little issues should be addressed to give it 5 stars.
4.6
The house and rooms were spacious and comfortable. The kitchen had what we needed. The porches and patios and jacuzzi were lovely. That waterfall shower head is amazing! Main issue was that the internet did not work for more than 10 minutes a day. The network name and password provided were not correct so we found them elsewhere but even then it was impossible to share a video presentation I had made to celebrate my sister’s engagement. Otherwise, highly recommend this house and Truckee in general.

This home is very spacious and modern. Everyone in our party had a very comfortable stay- every room had plenty of space with large, comfortable beds. The big garage made it especially easy for us to park our cars with the snow. Would definitely stay here again! The only thing we had trouble with was the door handles to the rooms, bathrooms, etc.- They lock very easily from the inside and we accidentally locked ourselves out of one of the rooms. Luckily someone in our party knew how to open it from the outside, but otherwise we would have had to call the owner!

Tl;dr This is a beautiful home in a lovely location that has been managed and maintained poorly by Vacasa. I strongly recommend renting outside of Vacasa or through a local group if possible to avoid a poor experience. If I were the owner(s) of this beautiful home, I’d be dismayed by the lack of regard for my home by management and disappointed with the experience my guests are having compared to the experience they could have in this wonderful space.
Material Safety Concerns
- No functioning external lighting on the primary external stairway (~20 steps) necessary for entry to the home. No nearby ambient or direct light sources for this area.
- Neglect and lack of proper maintenance of the external grill produced a sizable grease fire upon ignition. The grill is located on a second story wooden deck structure.
- The ceiling fan in the primary bedroom is missing 2 blades and is functionally inoperable. If turned on, it swings quickly and wildly. It has the potential to cause damage to the home and/or injury to the renter when engaged with no alternate mechanism for powering off.
The Good:
- Lots of room for families across several bedrooms, relatively comfy beds. Bed linens were okay. Plenty of towels and beach towels
- Kitchen has most appliances you’d need and plenty of cooking utensils (e.g. potato masher). Plenty of fridge space and the ice maker worked well.
- Deck spaces are lovely at night and have cute string lights
- Good amount of table and counter space
- Location is good – close to Raleys and highways. Note some noise from the street behind the house during the week.
The Bad/The Ugly
- General management from Vacasa was poor to unacceptable.
o We received confirmation that our listing was available for early check in and headed over. A few hours later, prior to our arrival, we were notified of a significant plumbing issue was likely to impact the availability of the home “during inspection”. At best this indicates an error notifying us of early check in and at worst indicates poor inspection processes for the general usability and safety of rentals.
o Another hour later our reservation was updated to this home, and we were texted the address. Vacasa was unable to update our reservation in their system for the entire duration of our stay – 7 days, including 5 business days. As a result, we were missing information necessary for our stay: instructions for use of the home (lights, appliances, amenities), services including trash and recycling, guest requirements or instructions, etc.
o 24/7 Vacasa Support via text/call was unable to access an updated reservation and therefore unable to provide any meaningful support for the entire duration of our stay (7 days).
o Miscommunication between our Vacasa contact and housekeeping regarding the ability of late checkout resulted in a “you have 20 minutes” knock on the door to vacate the home. Our Vacasa contact did not answer his phone when called after answering the door and did not follow up for the rest of our trip.
- The Wi-fi does not work and cellular service is limited. It was unable to support 2 devices for a duration longer than a few minutes before disconnecting. Vacasa did, upon request issue a mobile hotspot that could support a few devices in a limited capacity for the duration of our stay – though connection was passable at best for a day of remote work and numerous meetings and calls were disrupted. Generally frustrating. A worker familiar with the Wi-Fi indicated it has always been spotty/weak, so don’t expect this to be easily resolved.
- Cleaning services for the rooms/bathrooms were good but components of the main areas were lacking, including the following:

Went there to celebrate New Year with friends. The location is great, only 15 mins away from Northstar Resort and Donner Lake. Quiet neighborhood. Jacuzzi is clean and perfect for the weather. Everything is comfortable and cozy, except found few hairs on beds and the stove is dirty. Overall is great! Thanks for having us.

Great cabin for a short weekend get away. Wary of the stairs with young kids but they were really good about walking up and down slowly/holding onto rail. Rail was a little tall for the tots though. Kids loved to “bunk beds” room most.
Would def recommend this home for others.

This house is gorgeous and we had a great time staying with our friends. The only reason i gave it 4 stars and not 5 is that the kitchen needs to be stocked more with pots and pans, wine opener, and other basic items. The other inconvenient feature was three bedrooms downstairs with only one bedroom and one bedroom with two bathrooms upstairs. But I would definitely stay here again bringing my own dishes.

This property was beautiful and very spacious. The only problem was that it was lacking a lot of basic amenities such as hand soap in every bathroom and a blender. The appliances were also on the used, very low end quality such as the dish washer and toaster oven. Not a lot of extras so bring your own soaps, shampoos etc. It was also a bummer that the hot tub and pool were not available since
they were one of the main reasons we selected this cabin.

Great gem!
Great experience from beginning to end. The pictures do NOT do justice to the reality...so much better. The decor was warm and inviting. The downstairs area was perfect for the 5 teens to “hang out”. The kitchen was well stocked and plenty of linen. Close to downtown and only 4 easy miles to the lake. This is a property I can’t wait to return to. My only regret is that we didn’t book for a longer stay

Nice house, good location. Didn’t like property management company
Overall we enjoyed our stay. Excellent location, and a large house. We loved easy access to the meadow trail, - walking distance, quick drive to everything else, sunny and bright upstairs living room, and front deck. Loved master bath! Lots of space for everyone, and a fun downstairs room for kids.
What we didn’t expect, and what wasn’t in the ad: stairs. Lots of stairs. This house is located at the end of a long upward-sloped driveway. Totally not an issue in the summer, but something to consider if you are renting in the winter. Then there is a long set of steep stairs to get into the house. And inside, there are steep stone stairs between 2 stories. We had 7, 5, and 4 year olds, and a 4 yo ate it on those stairs a couple of times. Nothing major, but might be a better fit for older children.
What we didn’t like: this house is advertised and priced as a house with a hot tub. There are a lot of similar sized and located houses without a hot tub at lower prices. We rented the house WITH a hot tub, and it was a bummer that the hot tub was locked. The explanation said it is per Nevada County regulation. I looked up and regulation recommends no hot tubs in short terms rentals, but as I understand it, it’s not mandatory to shut them down. In any case, it would Have been nice to know, and perhaps reflected in the price. As a renter - you see that these rentals are available, but not necessarily read County guidelines prior to your fun trip.
With booking fees, cleaning fees, taxes, and actual rent our stay came up to be on a higher end. We had 3 adults, 4 kids staying for 5 days. We got a remainder of a paper towel roll that was used by previous renters, 5 individual/ single use dishwasher soap pods, 6 individual soap pods for washing machine, and Walmart quality wine opener that broke corks on all our bottles. Linens and towels have seen their better days too. With 4 children playing we quickly discovered that many areas of the house, and living room couch weren’t cleaned for quite some time. Interesting discoveries between the cushions. Not a huge deal on a grand scheme of things, but at the price point it is at you can expect more. We rent a lot in TDA, and have seen cleaner, better stocked houses. property management company didn’t respond to a single inquiry - we emailed, called, messaged on VRBO and their app, never heard back

Comfortable home in a great location.
The home is within easy access to Truckee, yet far enough from the main road to feel very private. Great deck for evening cocktails or morning coffee. Kitchen was adequately equipped and furnishings were very comfortable. Lots of movie and game options. Bunk room was a huge hit with our teens.

Very nice property with a couple of issue's. First we were not allowed to used the hot tub because of the pandemic but there was no mention of that in the listing, this was very important to us as its a prerequisite for where we decide to stay. Because of our age and that golf in the mountains it is taxing on the body it is a necessary requirement, also we were charged a fee for the hot tube. Second the bathroom toilet downstairs was wobbly, just info for maintenance. Lastly the TV channels were not all working and we could not watch a lot of channels, could be user error but not sure FYI. Overall the place was nice clean and close to everything and we would stay there again as this is an annual event.
