Vacation Rentals by Owner

Great cabin for multiple families

We rented this cabin for a weekend during the winter, and it worked out very well for us. Our group consisted of 4 couples, each with a baby around 8-9 months old. Every bedroom was able to fit a pack-and-play, and every bedroom had at least a double bed for the couple to sleep on. The main floor with the living room and kitchen is spacious and made for a great play area for the babies. The one caution is that the driveway has a short steep section. The driveway had ice, then later snow, on it during the weekend and we twice had to ask the neighbors to move their cars so one of our cars (the one without four wheel drive) could exit through their driveway instead.

We had a wonderful time staying at this beautiful house. It's a great place for multiple families, and it is a very convenient location near Tahoe Donner activities and multiple ski resorts.

Owner response:very much appreciated!

My friends and I loved this house so much last year, we booked it upon our return for 2011. Had a great time skiing, close to major resorts, are large enough to spread out and relax. Looking forward to staying here again in 2012.

Owner response:Always welcome!

This house has many wonderful characteristics that make it perfect for a large group of a group of mixed ages. The huge downstairs common area has a flatscreen tv so that the kids can watch their shows without the whole house watching their shows. The gameroom with pingpong and pool tables keeps the tweens and teens happy. The gourmet kitchen makes cooking as easy as if you were in your own home. And an added bonus is that the owner is very accomodating and responds to email extremely quickly.

Owner response:thanks for taking the time to write this!

What an amazing house! We had a wonderful experience and will be staying here again - hopefully soon. The upstairs was the perfect cozy place to unwind and warm up after a long day of skiing ... the gas stove is to die for! The hot tub was perfect right off the down stairs deck. This house really has everything for everyone. We have rented a number of homes in the north lake area and this was by far the most comfortable. I should stop gushing - I would like it to be available when we would like to stay there again. Thank you!!

This home was amazing! Beautifully furnished, so comfortable, with many nice touches throughout the house. Loved the family dining table, well-equipped kitchen, outdoor hot-tub, and lots of space. Our group had a fantastic winter weekend here, and would love to return to enjoy other seasons at this home as well.

We had a FABULOUS time staying here in the winter. Everything in the ad is accurate, everything works wonderfully, the hot tub is amazing to sit in with snowflakes falling onto you, the lower living space with flatscreen is the perfect hang-out spot, and the game room is fun! Best of all, the owner is fantastic and couldn't have been easier to work with. Definitely a positive experience and we will be staying here again!

Owner response:We got a new can-opener for next time!

Spectacular home close to both downhill & cross country skiing. Our family of 10 ranging in age from 70 to 3 yrs all agree that this home is the most beautiful, cleanest and best equipped that we have seen. The owners' touch and care are evident throughout. Their attention to detail provided for a most comfortable sojourn. We lacked nothing. Thank you!Hope we can share your home again!

Thanks so much for a magnificent stay! The cabin was perfect as a reunion spot. Its close to the mountains for skiing and the hot tub was wonderful after a long day on the slopes. We looked forward to coming home to the cabin each night. Thanks for sharing it with us!!
