Perfect for our group

Perfect place to spend a cozy weekend celebrating my parents 50th wedding anniversary. The open concept was perfect to keep everyone together. The seating was comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked, and it was great to have a large bedroom with a full bathroom on the main floor. Easy check-in/out. Clean and exactly as we expected.

Loved Camp Howdy!

Thank you for a wonderful couple of days away in Tahoe! We loved the cabin, it was comfortable, clean and had almost everything we needed. While the TV media wasn't as high tech as we are used to, it was probably for the better.....we played more games and read more books! The location was perfect and we will definitely check back next winter to stay in one of your rentals in the area. Thanks!

Camp Howdy Tahoe Donner stay

The only reason I gave 1-star rating is that I didn't have to communicate with property manager. There was no "N/A" choice. The stay was comfortable. We skied in Boreal, and it was very convenient. Also, the location is convenient to grocery stores and restaurants. The place was clean, well-stocked in terms of cooking utensils and other essential items. There are a few small broken items - towel rod near the sink in the 1st floor bath, but none of these were an irritant. Will definitely consider revisits.

Cute, cozy but just okay

This house is cute and cozy however it doesn’t have that upscale clean feeling that the photos show. Once you arrive you can tell that it is an older cabin that was renovated. Unfortunately you can also tell that the renovations done were done cheaply. There are noticeable issues where the owners did not complete the renovations to cut costs. Such as in the closets down stairs, there is still the old laminate flooring from the 70s. The upstairs bathtub/shower insert has some heavy ant issues. Everyday giant carpenter ants as well and a few spiders are coming through the seems of the shower insert. The beds are also extremely uncomfortable. The kitchen is also very disorganized. The cabinets are so full with so many random kitchen items that it’s hard to find the items that are needed. They also have close to a hundred large kitchen knives all in these random cabinets. I had to do a quick childproofing of the kitchen and move the knives up higher and out of reach of my toddler. Although we had a lovely time in Truckee, I likely will not be returning to this cabin. These are just a few small issues that the owners can change in order to make the home feel nicer for their guests.

Hi David, Thank you for staying with us and I'm sorry we didn't meet your expectations. This is the first time we are receiving negative feedback for our home. I believe the pictures are accurate, this is an older home that has been updated, but there is nothing in the home that the pictures don't portray. We do appreciate all feedback and always take it to heart to improve. Thank you again! Tahoe Signature Properties Team

We spent the week at Camp Howdy with our 3 young kids. Amazing location in lower Tahoe Donner with great access to trails (literally step outside in your backyard). Kids loved the pool at Northwoods Clubhouse and Trout Creek Rec. Hit balls at the driving range. Explored some bike trails and playgrounds around downtown Truckee. House was even better than pictured. Would definitely stay here again!

Clean house in very good location.

The location was great with easy access from the main road. The initial impression was good when open the door - well decorated and cozy atmosphere. The kitchen is remodeled and well-equipped but wished for newer cookwares because some of them were worn out quite badly. Also experienced great service from the rental agent when I couldn't turn on the facet in a bathroom. Although I messaged them late evening, they responded very quickly to help me out and it was resolved soon. The only thing I didn't like was the cleanness of the bed sheets. The pillows and sheets were covered by types of hairs, so had to wash all of them before sleeping for the first time of my many vacation rental experience. The cleaning crew would have done better job.

This was the perfect place

This was the perfect place for our 2 families of 4 adults and 2 kids. I've stayed in a lot of Tahoe rentals, and this is the best so far for this size group. It was really important to us to find a house with 2 bathrooms that were NOT en suite, as that puts everyone but one couple at a disadvantage. So that box was checked. What we loved specifically about this house is that it has beautifully updated kitchen and bathrooms, excellent furniture that was both comfy and there was enough of it, and it had lots of charm and character without all the tired Tahoe cliches (e.g., bears everywhere). It felt like the owners really thought about what people would like and included it, but didn't throw stuff in to be "cute". It was also sparkling clean. The location was awesome for proximity to Truckee and Sugarbowl, where we skied. We definitely plan to return.
