Beautiful house and location

We had a great experience! Big, spacious house. The entry through the garage is a bit awkward for some folks that have a harder time with stairs but otherwise it was all great.

Wonderful mountain escape

This cabin is spectacular. Not only are the views outstanding but you will find yourself marveling at the cabins construction with it's gaint logs inside and out. The inside layout is perfect for a family with teenagers. The owner is very responsive, accommodating and welcoming. I highly recommend this cabin and will plan to come back.

Beautifully built large cabin with epic views

We loved our stay and would definitely recommend. The cabin is beautifully built, has breathtaking views, comfortable beds, and plenty of space for our family of seven. We enjoyed many sunsets in the hot tub overlooking the snowy mountains and were able to walk from the house to nearby snowshoeing. The one thing to note is there are a good amount of stairs so all guests should be able bodied. Would love to come back!

Christmas Joy

We had a great time at the house. There were a couple of things that went wrong but were out of the homeowner’s control. The homeowner was very responsive and made sure we had a great visit. The views are AMAZING!!!

Absolutely Gorgeous Log Home – Even Better Than the Pictures!We stayed at this stunning log house and couldn't have been more impressed. The photos truly don’t do it justice—it’s even more beautiful in person. The home had all the amenities we needed, so much so that we didn’t feel the need to leave!The bedrooms were all incredibly spacious and comfortable, each with proper window coverings for privacy and rest. The floor-to-ceiling windows offered breathtaking views and filled the space with natural light. This place had everything we could’ve asked for—relaxing, luxurious, and perfectly equipped for a great stay. Highly recommend!

Almost Heaven

Outstanding property but a bit unfinished. For the price I felt several details were ignored or forgotten, amazing deck…no furniture….bbq-that was filthy and partially did not work, no access to laundry but asked to strip beds and place in laundry, no main entrance access, must enter through garage. Hot tub in excellent condition-very sanitary. No passes to amenities, but owner responded with arrangements that took time and effort to coordinate. Lake access and equine center for hiking were both amazing!

We had a wonderful time with the family celebrating Thanksgiving in this spectacular cabin! Beautiful details and stunning views. Spa was very clean and spacious. Four bedrooms, not 5. ‘Fifth’ is a loft. So nice to have a second fridge downstairs. Lots of spices and basic pantry items. One of the closets near entryway is a small pantry with several items from hot cocoa to trash bags. Things to Note: Bring towels for the spa as there are none extra. No extra sheets or extra bath towels either or extra dish towels. Lots of stairs to get in though there are nice stair rails. Helpful to know for elderly. There was a high chair and a pack and play for littles. Overall, everything was terrific!

Lots of space, well designed, beautiful views

The house is far up the slope of a mountainside in Truckee, and provided an excellent view of the valley around Donner Lake. The view from the hottub at night was particularly spectacular - the starry sky was easy to see with few city lights to impede it and it felt like we were sitting right at the edge of a cliff. The house is well appointed with high quality fixtures and design, and the big logs that make up the house are very impressive. Our party was relatively large - 4 couples with small kids and there was plenty of room for everyone to either hang together in the big main room or go off on our own for privacy in either the upstairs or downstairs. The owner provided excellent information on the house before our visit, was flexible with our arrangements, and was responsive to our many questions beforehand. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to spend a family or friends vacation in the Tahoe area.

Lovely house, communicative owner, some missing amenities

The house is beautiful and comfortable with a genuinely incredible view. The steam shower and hot tub were excellent. There were a few things that were listed online that were unavailable. First, this house has 4 bedrooms, not 5 (as evidenced by the real estate listing for this house). Secondly, the laundry facilities are not available for guest use. Thirdly, the sauna was not functional. It is also worth noting that this house is very unfriendly for disabled folks, as two flights of stairs need to be climbed to reach the garage from the living area, with no other options for access.

Amazing Host & Winter Getaway!

The Log House is a wonderful rental with amazing amenities. The large great-room windows provided stellar views of the mountains and winter snowfall. Our large friend group fit very comfortably, and our 5 teenage boys loved the home gym, sauna, steam shower & outdoor spa. In fact, this is the first rental our travel group has stayed at where we never left the property all weekend. We were very impressed with our host Rod. He was so friendly, helpful and very accessible, unlike some other VRBO hosts we have dealt with, he certainly is the best host we have encountered and we would book any properties that he manages. He took care of all of our needs and answered the phone every time when we called with questions. The property has a very user-friendly instruction manual that explains all the amenities. We are already planning to re-book the property in the summer. Thank you Rod!

Wonderful Stay!

We had a wonderful stay at the Log House over the 4th of July week. Rod is easy to communicate with and the views are stunning. The only thing we had trouble finding were sheets for the pull out couch and wash-clothes. Aside from that, it was an amazing stay.

Wonderful Thanksgiving

We rented this home for Thanksgiving and invited both sides of the family. We ended up with 8 adults and 2 toddlers. The house was clean and well-stocked, check-in was easy, and communication was excellent. The views out each of the bedrooms were amazing to wake up to at sunrise every morning, and we got some fantastic family photos on the deck at sunset. There is plenty of space for everyone to have a place to “escape” to, but we found we spent most of our time in the great room/kitchen. I really appreciated the high chair at the house - I did not know it was there and would not have brought one if I had, so just a pointer for anyone else staying at the house with little ones! Beds were comfortable, and it was handy to have a full sized fridge downstairs in the bar for all the Thanksgiving meal prep as well! We went on daily walks around the neighborhood, and took some night time strolls to see the stars. Everyone had a great time and the house received compliments all-around. We would love to come back again!

Absolutely Wonderful Experience

The cabin was better than expected and was even better than pictured. There was plenty of space for 12 of us. We enjoyed the hot tub and the large amount of space within the cabin. The views are to die for and we highly recommend this place. We plan to come again at some point.

Retreat for a wedding

My family stayed in the log house for my daughters wedding in the Truckee area. She had rented a house 2 doors down for her wedding party. It worked out perfectly for us. The house is beautiful, well equipped (you only need to bring clothes and food) and has spectacular views Get in the spa at night and look at all the stars! just be aware that there are a lot of stairs so it’s not a house for somebody with mobility issues. But you’ll get your steps in!!!
