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.

Condo had plenty of sleeping room and was closed to lake. Nice to be able to bring dogs and close to Truckee. Finding parking was a little tricky.

Right across the street from the lake with gorgeous views from the kitchen table -- we fell in love with Donner Lake! The cabin was comfortable, but rustic as you'd expect for a mountain lake cabin (eg some damage to floors, janky interior doors, kitchen table wobbly). Dealing with Vacasa as a renter instead of an actual owner is always less personal and more commericalized ... eg they were happy to offer late check out, if we paid an additional fee$$ But overall we loved the location, there was plenty of space, perfect winter getaway

Pricing, plenty of room, dog friendly, and lakefront location. However unlike our other places we’ve stayed at there was a surprising lack of information on the property. The property binder was useless. There were two dials on the wall with no instruction on what turned on what (fireplace, heater?) There was no porch light at night to help you use the key code (which was tiiiny!) and we only read from other reviews where to put the trash. The tv froze several times (and in this case do what your IT people suggest and unplug and plug back in). The parking instructions could be simplified to just say park in front of the property. There were no lights by the address sign so we had to guess which one it was and go up to the property to confirm. Better info could’ve been helpful.

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.
