Great location, 20 minute stroll to the lake. Comfortable master bed, I didn’t sleep in the other rooms but there’s plenty of room for a big family. Linens and towels were soft and fluffy. The kitchen is well appointed to make full family meals. Perfect for couples or families. Exactly as advertised.

Donner bear americana

We really enjoyed our time at the home—it was cozy, well-decorated, and had a very comfortable layout that made it easy to relax and settle in. The location was great, and overall, the stay had a lot of potential to be perfect.However, there were a few issues that stood out. There was no broom or vacuum available, which made it tough to keep things tidy during our stay, especially with kids. One of the chairs was broken, which wasn’t a huge deal but did limit seating. it looked like the previous cleaners had thrown all the leftover ashes from the fireplace onto the back deck, which made that space pretty unpleasant to use.All in all, the home itself was very comfortable and could be a fantastic rental with just a bit more attention to detail and safety.

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback, Carla. We're really glad to hear that you enjoyed the home’s layout, decor, and overall comfort—it’s great to know it helped you settle in and relax. We truly appreciate you pointing out the areas that could use some extra attention. We'll make sure a broom or vacuum is available moving forward, and we’re addressing the broken chair and the issue on the back deck with our team. Your comments are valuable, and they help us improve the experience for future guests.

It sounds like you truly settled in and made yourself at home—that's the best compliment we could ask for. We put a lot of care into keeping the cabin comfortable, well-stocked, and inviting, so it's wonderful to hear all of that came through for you. Thank you for treating the space so thoughtfully and for taking the time to share such kind words. We'd love to have you back whenever the mountains are calling again!
