About Karen Chin
We have been heading to Tahoe for years skiing in the winters. When we had our kids, we began enjoying the summers too. Now we love Tahoe every part of the year. Every time we go, it is literally a breath of fresh air from San Francisco, and it's been so fun watching our kids connect, interact and enjoy the amazing nature around them. They can be kids and jump rocks, play in the woods, swim in the lake, float down the truckee, kayak in Donner Lake, and of course, ski. After years of renting in every season and years of looking for a home to buy, we finally decided to take the leap and purchase a home in Tahoe Donner. We can't wait to make the family memories now in the same home year after year.
Karen Chin purchased this cabin in 2014
Why Karen Chin chose Lake Tahoe North Shore CA
Tahoe Donner was our favorite place to rent because of the wonderful community and amenities. As a guest, you have access to their fitness center, pools, tennis, etc. If you want to ski, hike, bike, swim, golf, play bocce, swing on swings, shoot hoops, archery or ride a horse, you can do all of that within Tahoe Donner. Year after year, we come back and discover new activities that Tahoe Donner has to offer. They also have so many family events all year that bring families together and make it festive for everyone.
We fell in love with this house since the set up was perfect for our family of four and knew we could invite another family to join us. It was sunny and bright with plenty of sleeping room for everyone. Its open space was great for hanging out and we loved how close it was to everything. Being near the entrance of Tahoe Donner makes getting everywhere easier and super convenient. When our kids are older, they can bike to the pools and town. We also loved looking out to the trees and woods around our house. It felt very private.

Cute summer family cabin
Great location, very responsive/extra informative host, well-appointed kitchen, warm hospitable feel. Everything just as represented. Hot tub beautiful!! Outdoor deck area a bit tight for larger groups. Would definitely return again!
Great house, comfortable beds
Karen's house was great and dog friendly. We cooked delicious meals there, slept perfectly, and had a wonderful time. Karen was responsive and helpful as well. The house has netflix, which we used, and a great hot tub. Highly recommended.
Wonderful cabin in Tahoe Donner
We had a wonderful experience in this cabin. The inside was bright and open, yet the location felt secluded. We loved the hot tub in the back looking out over the woods. We would definitely stay here again on a future visit to Lake Tahoe.
Great place!
I rarely write reviews, but our group was so impressed with this place! The house layout was great for our family with two small kids, and my Dad who joined us.
The owners are so thoughtful and responsive, and seem to have thought of everything - even the cabinets and light switches are labelled, so you are not opening every cabinet or flipping all the switches trying to find the right one. The kitchen was well stocked and easy to use. The beds and linens were super comfortable.
The kids loved their bunk room, and we loved the games and sleds that were there for them to use. Seriously great place!
Wonderfully cozy home in an awesome location during a beautiful winter season.
We had a wonderful family vacation in a winter wonderland! It was a snowy weekend on top of towering layers of snow everyone - quite beautiful. The house had plenty of room for the ten of us - 5 adults and 5 kids. The kitchen was spacious and well stocked with everything we needed (pots, pans, condiments, ingredients) for cooking and baking. The house was very cozy - plenty of towels, blankets, and pillows as well. Having a hot tub in the midst of snow is a real treat too! The kids had so much fun in the large backyard area - tons of room for snow play. They were even able carve out a small sledding path and had fun for hours. Great location - the house is within minutes to the Tahoe Donner sledding area, lodge, guest amenities, cross country ski area, a mini market, and much more. Thanks Karen for responding to my emails so quickly and being so understanding about my concerns! (I was worried about the stormy weather approaching and almost cancelled the trip but glad we didn't! The snow plow came through the road and driveway multiple times on the same day and could barely keep up with the amount of snow during this record-breaking season. Snow chains helped us get in and out with no problem.)
Great place!
We had a great weekend. The kids played in the snow right in the back yard and the owners were very responsive and helpful. We have rented lots of houses over the years and this house was clean, organized, well stocked and super comfortable. We hope to be back to this one!

We love Tahoe Donner because of all the activities available in the community. This house provides guests to access the private beach marina at Donner Lake which has a great beach for lounging, swimming, fishing for crawdads and bbqing. You can also rent paddleboards, sailboats, kayaks and other water toys or if you have a boat, you can launch your boat and waterski. During the summer, Tahoe Donner offers free concerts and live music on the fields where parents can enjoy family time with their kids and relax under the stars. The nearby mountains provide tons of access to world class skiing and hiking, rock climbing and mountain biking in the summer. We love it as our kids never run out of things to do in the outdoors. If you love golf and tennis, Tahoe Donner has its own golf course, driving range and tennis center. There is something for every age every time of the year. We love our Tahoe Donner location because of it's easy access to the pools and recreation center within the community and is only 5 minutes to downtown Truckee which is a cute town with fantastic restaurants and bars and quaint shops.
