Luxurious Tahoe Donner Cabin \/ Pool Table \/ Resort Amenities \/ Hot Tub seats 7
About this cabin rental
Baden's Best sits nestled among a forest of towering pine trees on a quiet street in Tahoe Donner. You can feel the warmth emanate from this cabin the moment you step inside. Start your vacation by relaxing upstairs in our living room with its vaulted knotty pine ceiling, comfy leather couch, beautiful stone fireplace hearth and gas burning stove. If you still have energy after a hard day on the mountains, have fun socializing downstairs in the fourth bedroom/family room with its Big Screen TV & DVD player, Pool Table and multiple X-Box games. However, don't have too much fun and forget to prepare a scrumptious meal for your guests in the gourmet kitchen outfitted with everything a chef needs to prepare a fabulous meal. Finally, before you retire for the evening, warm your tired feet in our hot tub that seats 7 guests and gaze at the stars through the forest of pine tress surrounding our cabin. This gorgeous home, with its lovely surroundings and classic Tahoe setting, is sure to delight everyone. As a child, my parents would take my siblings and I up to the mountains to go sledding or snow skiing. I’ve enjoyed the mountains, the outdoors and the fresh air ever since, it's my passion. Years later my wife and I took a scenic ride through Tahoe Donner on the way home from Reno one day and fell in love with this small mountain community. It didn’t take long for us to decide what a great place this is to spend time with our kids. Later that year in 2004, we had the opportunity to make a dream come true when we purchased this beautiful cabin that we call Badens Best. We have enjoyed countless summers and winters here with friends and family making everlasting memories and look forward to sharing our beautiful cabin with you. Since we first purchased our cabin back in 2004 we've continuously decorated our cabin as if it were our own home. You will find beautiful furnishings, art work, high quality linens. We have also enlarged the back deck to make room for a hot tub. Our home is now furnished and ready to entertain guests at any time, I look forward to sharing my dream with you ~ John Cabin Features: • Private Hot Tub on Back Deck Surrounded by Towering Pines & Open Sky • BBQ Grill, Patio Furniture, Umbrella on Spacious Front Deck • Pool Table • Basketball Hoop • Big Screen TV & DVD Player + DVD’s • Free Cable TV, Internet & WIFI • Board Games • Large Flat Driveway Kitchen: • Stainless Steel Appliances • Granite Counters • Dining Room Seating for 6 and Counter Seating for 3 • Upper Deck Access, BBQ Grill, Patio Furniture • Cookware, Glassware & Silverware • Picnic Basket Living Room: • Vaulted Ceilings • Deck Access • Sofa, Side Chair, Coffee Table, • Cable TV • Gas Fireplace • Ceiling Fan Bedroom Configuration: • Master BR – Queen w/ double vanity ensuite bath (upstairs) 2 Nightstands w/ Lamps, Dresser, Closet and a Flat Screen TV, Ceiling Fan • Guest Bedroom 1 – Double w/ shared bath (upstairs) 2 nightstands w / Lamps, and a closet, Ceiling Fan • Guest Bedroom 2 – Double w/ shared bath (upstairs) • 2 nightstands w / Lamps, and a closet, Ceiling Fan • Guest Bedroom 3 / Game Room – Bunk Bed, Trundle, Sofa Bed w/ ensuite bath (downstairs) Coffee Table, Side Table, Big Screen TV, Pool Table, Xbox + Games & Controllers Hot Tub Located on Back Deck Miscellaneous Things We Provide: • Dishwasher Detergent, Laundry Soap, Facial Tissue, Paper Towels & Toilet Tissue Tahoe Donner Amenities Passes: • We provide 2 Tahoe Donner Amenity Passes at the cabin.

The house was perfect for our family. It was an easy drive to Tahoe. The house is extremely well maintained, and we had a great stay. The owners communicated well with us and made a check in easy.

This place is a gem. Wonderful area, close to slopes and the town of truckee. The house itself is lovely and the kitchen is stocked like someone actually lives there. It was perfect for our girls’ get away. We cooked, hung out, sat in the hot tub after skiing and snow shoeing and had a great time all around.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay. The home was not only beautifully appointed and comfortable but also very clean and spacious, with big windows that offered lovely views of the surrounding trees. Couches and beds were super comfortable. The yard was a highlight, providing a great space to play in the snow, and the pool table was incredibly fun and enjoyed by all, kids and adults alike. There’s a fun hot tub on the deck too.
We also enjoyed the opportunity to cook in the well-equipped kitchen, which made meal times a joy. The hosts were incredibly responsive and helpful, making sure that our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. Additionally, the location of the home was perfect, close to a variety of great activities that Tahoe Donner has to offer. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I would highly recommend this vacation rental to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway in the Tahoe Donner area.

We had a wonderful long weekend in this beautiful cabin. The location is centrally located. We thoroughly enjoyed the kitchen. The beds were comfortable - even the downstairs bunk beds. We would happily return.

This house was perfect for us with our children. My brother lives very close by; off of Swiss Lane. We were able to come and go from both houses with the siblings! So much fun! We love our Summers in Tahoe Donnner. Thank you!

This was the perfect home for our family wedding weekend. John and Karen were more than accommodating and answered any questions I had (I needed an ironing board and iron) within minutes. The house was absolutely gorgeous and the perfect size for the 7 of us. It was bittersweet to leave, but will 100% be back!
Thank you John and Karen💗

Great cozy cabin housed our 3 young kids & my parents. Kids slept on the bunk bed (trundle underneath was a bonus) in the ground level family room that had the pool table and hot tub on the deck. Adults were upstairs on the main level. 3 bathrooms were perfect for everyone to have their own space. Beds were very comfortable. Plenty of towels and the washer/dryer on the main upstairs level came in handy. We entered through the garage which fit one large suv but parked the second car in the driveway as there was too much snow blocking the second garage spot. The Donner Ski Resort was just 6 minutes away. Really perfect spot for our family with fully stocked cooking supplies,spices, oils, paper towels, tp, coffee filters etc!

Our family stayed for a week and didn’t want to leave! The house was not only clean and well appointed with extra linens, cleaning supplies etc. but the owner remotely turned on the heat for us to ensure we’d arrive to a cozy space.
Two car garage that accommodates two SUVs was incredible given the level of snowfall. Tahoe Donner hoa plows the driveway so we didn’t lift a finger.
Our group included 4 adults and 4 kids but the house had plenty of space for both mealtime gatherings and to retreat into separate spaces when we wanted to.
Less than 10 minute drive to groceries, restaurants and gas and only 20-30 minutes to Palisades, Northstar or Sugarbowl.
We can’t wait to go back!

The house exceeded our expectations and was lovely! It really felt like home. The accommodations were very comfortable and the kitchen was stocked, not like the typical rental. We were there during a big snow storm and with the food we brought and the lovely kitchen were able to easily cook delicious meals to enjoy around the large dining table. Overall, we couldn’t have had a better place to stay and the hosts were very responsive and helpful.

We stayed at this home shortly after the holidays with my parents and 3 kids. It was the perfect spot for all ages to enjoy the fresh fallen snow, do some skiing, sledding and just enjoy the scenery. The basement was a great space for my older kids to hang out. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed and more. It is a very close drive to Tahoe Donner making it easy to get to the chair lift for “fresh tracks”. Since we were there during a large snow storm, John and his wife were very thoughtful and checked in to be sure we were plowed out and didn’t have any issues. Overall a very memorable stay and we definitely hope to be back.

Our group had a wonderful stay. The home is beautiful, and great for families and large groups. Beds are very comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked with everything we needed to cook and enjoy the holiday week together. Location is a convenient jumping off point for accessing north lake ski spots and just minutes to tahoe donner ski hill, a great place for young kids to learn. Hosts are friendly, very responsive and easy to communicate with. Would definitely stay again!

Our family of 6 visited the house for the Thanksgiving week and enjoyed ourselves quite a bit. The house was clean with lots of space for the kids to keep apart and also come together for playing in the game room downstairs. Location is close enough to Truckee yet far enough away to be a nice getaway if you want to keep to yourself.

We were a group of 5: Two 50 somethings and three early 20 somethings. Loved every minute. The house is clean, beautifully furnished and appointed. The open kitchen/living room, where we spent much of our time hanging out, cocktails, and (ick) even some work, was sunny, comfortable and had every pot, pan, knife (yes!), platter, bowl, and tool we needed. The hot tub, pool table and family room downstairs is where we spent the later hours soaking, relaxing, and playing. An added bonus was being able to use both sides of the two car garage- it saved us from scraping cars in the morning and made loading and unloading cars easy peasy.
My constructive criticism would be to upgrade wifi service (if possible) as while it is available and working, I got kicked out frequently while I worked.
Many, many thanks for a first class experience :)

This house has plenty of room to be together and find pockets of privacy! With two families the pool table was perfect for some friendly competition. It was so easy to get to ski area and snowplay. This was the time away we needed!

We had a wonderful time. The house was just as described and pictured. Perfect size for my family (5 adults, 3 kids), fun family room with pool table, great quiet neighborhood close to Tahoe Donner skiing. Well stocked for cooking. John and Karen were amazing hosts - pleasant, professional and flexible. An unprecedented snow storm closed the roads, causing us to delay the start of our stay. They generously worked with us to add days. What could have been a stressful experience was handled with ease, allowing us to still have a wonderful vacation without worry.

Fantastic job by the owners - even though it was super-hot (by Tahoe-Donner standards) the owners had box fans and ceiling fans running in each room! With many bedrooms, we were able to spread our family throughout the home and everyone had a fan on them to fall asleep. I decided to use the *entire* downstairs as a master bedroom, to include the hot tub area, pool table and largest TV for myself. Greatly recommended. ;)
Perfect communication with owners, as well. Would def stay here again. (FYI: We've never stayed here in winter, but I noticed our Toyota Sienna minivan would have just barely fit through width of garage door entry if side windows pulled in. Go slowly!)

This cabin is great for families with kids! Having the basketball hoop out front entertained our 8 year old boys, and there are tons of board games and movies. The pool table was also a big hit: the hosts obviously replaced to broken pool cues that a previous reviewer mentioned: they were brand new! The hot tub is also new and we used that. The host is very responsive, although the internet really isn’t reliable as the host warns. It’s kind of nice to be able to separate from our phones though. The only main bummer was the coffee machine was broken, so instead of having a leisurely morning coffee in our pajamas, someone had to make a morning coffee run every day. First world problems though. We packed a ton of activities in around the Tahoe/Donner area in our trip. Love this neighborhood!

It was definitely as advertised! It is quiet, removed from town but a quick hop to the beaches. We actually preferred the west end Beach vibe and it was half the cost to get in even with the homeowner guest passes. Grocery store is easy to get to. Property is super cool and a little funky - it easily handled 6 of us and could easily take two more no problem. It does get a little hot during the day in the summer or when cooking so prepare for that but the nighttime cools down just fine. The property could use a few updates like Bluetooth for music so bring a Bose or remote speaker if you want to fill up the main floor with music while hanging out. That and getting some more pool cues with tips on the end but frankly that is all nitpicky stuff. Very well equipped kitchen and grill. I’d happily stay there again. And the owners were super responsive to questions too. A+ stay!

Great Truckee Stay
We had a great vacation at "Baden's Best". Our family drove 7 hours to have a relaxing vacation for which we had been waiting a year and a half. We had never rented a vacation home before and didn't know what to expect of the process. I have to say it was pretty seamless. Questions we had beforehand and during our visit were answered promptly. The cabin was spacious for our 3 families which totaled 8 people. Everyone thought the beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. One of the reasons we picked this cabin was because of the pool table. We spent many of our evenings in the entertainment room downstairs playing pool. Good thing we decided to bring our own pool cues, however, because the ones provided had broken tips. The brand new hot tub was a nice amenity as well. Just let it be known there is a camera pointing right at it. One con I feel the need to mention was the yellow pollen that thickly coated the driveway, the stairs, the deck and the outside furniture. It looked like it had been accumulating for awhile. We had to sweep it off in order to be outside on the deck. We were told by our host that it gets that way just overnight. During our stay we did see pollen flying around and landing but it never really built up that much after we had cleaned it. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the house and all that Truckee had to offer. We would definitely recommend this cabin to others. 👍👍👍
