Map & Owner's Profile
Cozy Cabin 5 Minutes to the Slopes!
Year Purchased: 1991
Why the Owner Chose Truckee
We purchased our cabin in order to allow our twin boys the opportunity to enjoy the mountains for sking in the winter and enjoying the lake in the summer. It has been one of the best purchases that we ever made. The boys are now 12 years old and they are now able to walk to the Trout Creek rec center on their own for tennis and swimming.
The Unique Benefits at this Cabin
If you are looking to get away from the city and have the feel of the mountains, our cabin is the place for you. It is very quiet, yet is suprisingly roomy. Once you enter the cabin you are greeted with a pleasant scent of the pines. If you can't relax here....you can't relax period!

Steve, Susan, Blake, Cole and Tracey.
We purchased our cabin in 2001. The previous owner had built it with his two sons back in 1980. It was a real fixer upper (shag carpeting, pot belley stove). It took us about 6 months to go through it and make it comfortable. I think we achieved our goal. Susan has decorated the place in an Native American theme.

We had a wonderful snowboarding getaway at Whispering Pines. The cabin itself was roomy, spacious and clean. The owners had done a lot of renovations to the place. We were able to sleep 8 people comfortably, and there was even enough room for all of us to dine together. The location was also great--close to nearby grocery stores, and our snowboarding resort (took 15-20 minutes). The owner was very responsive to all of our questions, which helped make our stay even more pleasant.

This cabin was decorated adorable and was very comfortable. We had four adults and two children. It was the perfect size for us. Too many more people and it may have been a little cramped. The kitchen was well stocked with all the utensils and pots and pans you would need. The layout of the cabin was great and accommodated us nicely. There were toys for the kids and having wifi was an added bonus. Everything seemed very clean and well maintained. The location was perfect; close to town, near the beginning of Tahoe Donner and on a quiet street. We had an amazing time and will definitely rent this cabin again.

We came in late spring to enjoy some more skiing around Truckee and had a marvelous time. The cabin is wonderful! Very inviting, cozy, well-furnished. More than enough room for our family of 2 adults and 3 kids. This is truly a gem of a home and we are so appreciative that it is available to rent.

I stayed at this property with family spouse, 3.5 year old kid and parents. There were enought beds, blankets, towels for everyone. The place in in middle of beautiful Donner area - woods close to grocery store, gas station, starbucks. Evenryone enjoyed walking though the woods, playing in snow - snowball fights, making snowman. There are 2 DVD players and lots of toys for kids - my 3.5 year old had a blast. The host is extremely friendly and helpful. With online payment facility the booking was extremely easy. The only issue we faced is unavailability of AT&T cellphone signal - we had to download voip to be able to use cellphone. Over-all for vacation - great place for the price.

The cabin is perfect for multiple families. We had a group of 5 adults and 2 children and were hardly cramped. The place could sleep a few more and would still be comfortable with more children, but might feel a bit tight with more adults. The kitchen was stocked with most of the cookware we needed and had kid-friendly dishware. The owners were very accommodating. When we expressed concern that weather could delay or cancel our trip, they replied that they would give us a full refund or rebook the date. Luckily this didn't happen and we had a wonderful time!

This was a comfortable, cozy home away from home for our spring visit to the area and most reasonably priced. Very centrally located for our day trips to Napa Valley, Sacramento, Truckee, Reno, and most of all the Lake Tahoe region. Gorgeous mountain vistas
