We had a great time at this cabin in Tahoe Donner. The place was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed. The location was perfect – peaceful and close to all the activities. We loved relaxing on the deck in the mornings and coming back to the comfy beds and fireplace after a day of exploring. The cabin had nice touches that made our stay even better. We really enjoyed our time here and would definitely stay again. Highly recommend!

We had a great time. First of all the price was right. The space was enough for 5-6 of us. All of the appliances worked as expected. The house inside was reasonably clean (some cat spray on the upstairs bedroom wall) and comfortable. The garage space was useful to store our bikes between rides. We enjoyed the deck area and the BBQ worked as expected. The TV was great and the attachment cords assisted with media connection. Restrooms works as expected. Towels were soft and sufficient. We are all used to firmer mattresses, but sleep was achieved and rest was acquired. We should have brought our own pillows like we usually do. We did run out of paper towels in the kitchen, there was only one partial roll. We did use the washer and drier. The drier lint filter had not been cleaned possibly EVER, I have a picture of what I removed when I discovered the clothes were not getting dry. There is a deck screw sticking up about an inch right next to the snow grate at the front door. I am sure glad no-one snagged their foot on it. I mention these two items more for your information than complaint. We would definitely stay at this house again. It was fairly close to the lake, MTB riding, hiking, and services like Safeway and Grocery Outlet. The neighborhood was upscale clean and very quiet. The residents were friendly, as we found while taking evening walks with our dog. There was no sign it was a pet friendly house, except, cat spray. No smell, or fur balls.

We had a wonderful stay despite not having hot water the first night. The owner addressed this issue promptly and the problem was resolved the very next day. The house is cozy and located in a great family friendly area.

We spent 5 days at Lisa and John's cabin in Tahoe Donner. The cabin is cozy, centrally located, and well-stocked. Both Lisa and John are super nice hosts and so easy to work with. There's a lot to do, whether you want to relax or be active, and everything is close by. I'm not sure if I should share all these positives about the cabin or keep it all to ourselves! 😄 We'll definitely be back!

The house was clean and very “homey”. My family had a great time. The kids played in the snow and even built a snowman. The owers were very responsive and even called the plumber right away to fix the kitchen faucet. Overall, we had a great experience. Definitely recommend this place!!

We enjoyed our stay. The living room is very comfy and the dining table was nice too. Good TV coverage and setup for device streaming.
The house was warm and cozy, heater was good, and woodstove was a nice touch with plenty of firewood supplied (bring kindling or use hatchet to make kindling.)
The bedrooms were spacious and the beds comfortable. The bunk room was perfect for all the boys, while the teen girl had the loft to herself.
The beds are made with no blankets, only spreads, and one must search out the blankets in various closets.
The kitchen is a bit disorganized but if you search through cupboards and drawers, you are likely to find what you need. There are no wine glasses, so if you want to enjoy your fine wine, bring your own glasses.
The bathrooms are nice, recently upgraded. Good showers.
It was a big plus to have the garage to park in.
Thanks, Fleming Family, for providing a cozy affordable place to stay.

This is a great place to stay if you want a quiet family setting. It was like being at home. The best thing is hard to pick out for me, but I am going to highlight the responsiveness of the hosts! Every text was answered within a couple of hours. For instance this home has a great wood burning stove and we like to have a fire going. We ran low on wood during the stay and it was promptly resupplied by their local fire wood guy! Super hosts John & Lisa!

We had a great time staying in Truckee...
The house was very clean and organized. Our communication with our host was excellent.
I enjoyed our stay. It was easy to get to. The lot was nice being surrounded by trees in the back and on one side. It was very private. And having access to the garage was a relief...
It was easy to relax and enjoy the snow fall with the family...

The cabin was as described. It was perfect for our family and we enjoyed building puzzles and playing games at the table after skiing. The location was nice as the exit onto the street is flat and easy to negotiate in the snow. We were informed of maintenance issues and we were able to work around these without any problem. The value is great and I hope you enjoy your stay!

We really enjoyed our stay! The house has a great layout, with room in the driveway for cars (no need to park on the street), a lot of beds, and a nice great room for everyone to be together. The house itself is a bit dated, but the owners are improving facilities like the bathrooms. Well stocked in terms of kitchen cooking equipment.

Stayed at John and Lisa's cabin with some close friends and absolutely loved it. Unfortunately, the weather was not great but we were still able to do some hiking and go out to the lake. The cabin had enough space for our group and were very comfortable. Would definitely stay again!

This has been a wonderful stay. 4-5 miles from Donner Lake, quiet neighborhood. The house was neat and clean, very spacious including all necessary utilities. The kitchen was reasonably stocked.

The place was as described and how it looked in the picture. Full of snow. But it was plowed, so that was good. Had a fun time although we could not go outside in the back yard. We communicated a lot before we traveled. They were very patient with us since we weren't sure we wanted to go or not with the huge storm. Glad we went. Glad we stayed there.

All good with minor problems like no hand soap. No big deal.

Our group of 6 adults & 1 dog enjoyed a very happy Thanksgiving in this house. It is roomier than it appears, and we could have easily had 2 more people. The house is a little dated but it has a good floorplan with lots of amenities, and the kitchen was well stocked with plenty of dishes and cookware (which was much appreciated by our group of dedicated cooks). Our only problem was with the electric stove - two of the burners were not working but we were able to produce a big meal with a little maneuvering. I expect plans are in the works to repair or replace the stove. Other than that we had a great time!

Great Location, Fun Place To Stay
We greatly enjoyed our short trip to Tahoe Donner. This cabin had plenty of space for my family (two kids, two adults, and a small dog) on a nice quiet street. Great neighborhood and location, easy logistics to get in and check out. We'd love to stay here again.

Comfy stay for last ski weekend trip
Appreciated the dog-friendly hosts and cabin. Needed a place to stay for our last ski weekend trip for the season, and it fits what we're looking for. Neighborhood is quiet and safe yet close enough to town and ski areas.
