We enjoyed our stay at the cabin. It was quiet, comfortable and well equipped. Most appreciated, particularly for the Donner Pass Road area, are the two roomy parking spaces that are on grade with the main floor. We also enjoyed the small library of books, pictures, and scrapbooks about Donner and the region. And of course the killer views. We would definitely stay again.

The home is warm and well cared for. The owners are incredibly helpful and reachable if you need them. We hope to come back soon!

True, knotty-pine, cabin experience. We loved it.

We loved our two day stay at this place. We cooked dinner both nights, plenty of kitchen space and supplies. The owner Norma, left informative notes in places and created an historical, thorough binder that we enjoyed going through, she was very thoughtful in that way. The upstairs does get warm and downstairs cool, that makes it great for sleeping. The place is huge with many beds and we thought it would be a great place for extended family to gather and stay. We definitely will be back!

Every step of booking, check in, during and check out were communicated well. This is a family cabin. It is well taken care of and loved by the owners, and I’m pretty sure guests, too. You feel at home the minute you walk through the door. The view of Donner Lake is stunning! We were here two nights and three days. It was hard to leave. Next time, we are booking for a week!

Good location. Property clean;Owners communicated when a couple questions were asked lock combination

Property was well laid out with an awesome view of the lake. We particularly liked that you could enjoy everything you needed on the main floor without having to traverse a single stair. This made it possible for my 88-year-old mother to join us. She really enjoyed it. The house is so well appointed and obviously loved. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us.

We will definitely come back

The cabin is perfect for multi aged family! Plenty of room, everything you’d need (and more) in the kitchen. Well kept up, clean, easy in every way, strong WiFi, plenty of tv channels. Our family will stay here again!

Our second stay here and once again we were very pleased. The cabin has great views of Donner Lake and it is a quick walk across the road to the Lake. The cabin is very comfortable, great wifi, good tv and for the most part well stocked. They provide an ample supply of wood for the fireplace which came in quite handy. Lots to do in the area, but perfect for just hanging out as well. We will return.

This is a fabulous place to stay if one wants to sit back and enjoy their visit. The view of the lake through the large windows was breathtaking - especially with snow on the mountians! And Truckee is one of those old time small cities with many friendly person to work with you while shopping or eating. We could not have asked for more!!!

Cute cottage. Has everything you need. We used a bedroom for a closet due to small rooms and closets. But everything was perfect for just my husband and I.

We were able to secure the rental early last month for the days we needed. The process was seem less and the accommodations were cozy and checked off all the boxes. We had two families stay and there was enough room for everyone comfortably without feeling on top of each other. We were close enough to get a few necessities but far enough to not feel like we were in too much of a crowd. The view is incredible and perfect sipping spots for morning coffee. Our preteens love the loft and the feeling of being independent and our 17 year old had enough space to himself to veg out as necessary. We loved the mountain bikes, but make sure to bring your own water toys as they’re not available. We were there the warmest weekend of the spring season, so still a TON of snow, but also we could have paddle boarded. Easy walks, close to the summit, breathtaking views. I recommend setting the alarm and catching the sunrise. You can drive 7 min. Up to the summit and catch the view over the lake. We loved it wants will be back!

We loved the place. Very clean and well organized. Norma responded our questions very quickly and in details. Definitely will come again.

Our family enjoyed our time at this cabin. Lovely view of the lake and plenty of room for our family of 5. It's location is perfect for picking up gear at Tahoe Dave's and hitting Sugar Bowl. We grabbed our groceries for the week at Safeway which is also very close by. The home was warm, clean and cozy. There was so much snow that the kids were able to make a decent lane for sledding on the side of the house, but think this might be limited if not for the amount of snow this year. If not careful, you could end up in the street below. The wifi worked fine, even thru the storm. We look forward to future stays here.

We had a moms getaway weekend. It was such a beautiful location and so peaceful. Just what we needed. Thank you for sharing your wonderful cabin with us!

This clean and comfortable cabin has lots of room, is well appointed, and has a view of Donner Lake. Close to Tahoe ski resorts as well. We'll definitely be back!

Everything was perfect in this house, warm, comfortable and well appointed. Great for a family of 6, plenty of room. Views from the deck are beautiful. We worried about access up the steep lane in the winter, but the rental car coped admirably! The house was decorated for Christmas... a bonus. Communication with owners was excellent and a need to change dates was accommodated without any problem. Vrbo easy to deal with. Would recommend this house to others.

We had the absolute best time at the Markley cabin. It is delightfully decorated with amazing views, great amenities, well stocked kitchen and bathrooms, plenty of firewood, easy to find snow clearing equipment, and the power (mostly) stayed on during a very wet NYE storm! This is a gem of a cabin and it made our New Year’s weekend very special.

Mr./Mrs. Markley were excellent host. Very easy to communicate with. Our family enjoyed their cozy cabin. We had beautiful views of Donner lake after a snow fall.Kitchen is fully stocked with everything you may need.

Waking up to floor-to-ceiling views of Donner Lake was the highlight of our trip. The house was comfortable, kitchen was stocked with all the equipment we needed, and there was ample dry firewood provided, which was a bonus during our snowy stay. Be forewarned you will need to make your own beds upon arrival, and the one parking space at lake level is difficult to access during the winter (steep hike down a snowy hillside to get there from the house). The two spaces on the top level were clear and easy to access. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful.

My wife and I wanted a quick escape with our 8 month old son and this was just what we needed. The location was great with a nice view of the lake to wake up to. Everything was as advertised if not better. We will definitely be trying to come back.

Nice house with big windows, big deck, and views of Donner Lake. Easy access to lake across the street or kayak launching down the street.
