4 weeks at Tahoe Donner
The property was great, just as advertised. Excellent space for accommodating 3 generations and a dog comfortably. Property manager was helpful and kind. Wonderful quiet street. Brought my horse up and was very happy with the equestrian center. Beautiful trails for hiking and riding. We’ll definitely do this again! Thank you!
Terrific place, well equipped
Had a very nice stay, lots of stuff to do, games, hot tub, etc.
So glad you enjoyed your stay. True, there is so much to do in Tahoe Donner and the area. (Editorial note: Please know that our guests enjoyed the hot tub at the community center, and not on our property.)
Awesome Cabin
Our family reunion went perfect and the cabin was perfect!
So glad your family reunion went well and that the cabin suited your needs. It's fun to be able to share with others what we feel blessed to have in our family.
Spacious cabin, great location
We had a great stay here and everyone had plenty of space. Loved the location in winter- skied Donner and used the guest passes for the reccenter. Beds were super comfy and downstairs room and space for kids was great to have. Only reason for 4 stars was because we couldn’t get hot water for showers and the kitchen needed a few more upgrades. Also- pack body soap/shampoo, any spices and oils needed for kitchen as these aren’t provided. But overall, Kathy was a great host and has the cabin set up perfectly for guests.
Thanks for your review Stephanie. Can you share what additional amendments you would like to see provided in the kitchen? There is a 50 gallon hot water tank in the house, sorry you did not find it adequate to meet your hot water needs in a timely fashion.

Wonderful and it snowed!
There were 11 family members who decided to get away for the Thanksgiving Holiday. Kids, moms and dads, a set of grandparents and two dogs. The youngest celebrated his 9th birthday on Turkey Day. The fact that it snowed during the night was unbelievable. We woke to the sound of snowplows in the area. The house was warm and inviting. Wonderful views of snow filled trees. Everything we needed to cook our turkey dinner was in the kitchen (from coffee pot to plates, coffee cups to bowls, silverware, you name it!) and the number of beds and bathrooms was just right. We would love to visit again.
This house is made for making memories; and glad we could help contribute to yours and your family! ( Be sure to tell the 'birthday boy' 'Happy Birthday' from us too!)
Would love to have you back whenever you want to come to the mountains.

There is so much to do in the Truckee Tahoe Donner area year round.
Any season offers the best of the great outdoors.
For winter play the house is within minutes of some of the best ski
and snowboard areas - Squaw Valley, Alpine Meadows, Sugar Bowl,
Northstar, and Tahoe Donner. In addition to the Tahoe Donner ski area, for non-skiers/boarders Tahoe Donner has a snow play area, (within walking distance of the house) that offers tubing and sledding. And don't forget about trying the trails for snow-shoeing too! Want to warm up...try a winter swim in the outdoor pool at 80' water temp, or a spa at 95'...regardless of the outside temperatures!
Be sure to check out all the Tahoe Donner amenities at the Tahoe Donner website.
In summer you can play tennis, bike, hike, fish, canoe, kayak, sail, or swim in one of Tahoe Donners three pools or take a beach day at Tahoe or Donner lake, golf at one of the areas many courses, take a trail ride on horseback, or just bask in the sun off the back or front deck and bird watch! Still wanting for more? How about a work out in the gym, an afternoon sauna, a relaxing massage, or a trip to the spa? One thing is for sure, you'll have plenty to do and lots of choices too!
Historic downtown Truckee is a cute little town full of restaurants and
shops. Reno is just 40 minutes away with an international airport
and famous casinos. Beautiful Lake Tahoe is a 30 minute drive.
This property has been certified by the
National Wildlife Federation Organization as a recognized wildlife habitat area.

About Kathryn Howard
After years of enjoying all this mountain community has to offer, my husband and I splurged on our dream and purchased this home. We love the fact that its on a quiet inside street and only a few houses from a hiking trail head. It's rare when you don't see some wild life in the evenings heading down to the wetlands for a drink in the evenings. We've watched young fawns grow into their antlers, beavers coming out at dusk to build, the raccoons scamper, and even a bear or two lumbering, not to mention all the chipmunks, jays and woodpeckers! Skiing, golfing, swimming and more are within minutes of the house. And trails to hike or bike are numerous. When we feel like taking it easy, the hammock out back is where we 'hang'. (Sorry, couldn't help myself.) All, in all, if you enjoy the quiet of the hill, yet want plenty to do this is 'THE' place! We stay here often, so we have added many amenities over the years. When ever we have one of those moments that say to you..'Hey, you know what we should get for the cabin?' We go out and get it, so you won't be looking for this or that to make your stay comfortable and homey.
Kathryn Howard purchased this Cabin in 2009
Why Kathryn Howard chose Truckee
When ever the house is seasonally vacant we are cleaning, updating and performing maintenance for you to enjoy comfort, clean and cozy accommodations. You will find top of the line mattresses to sleep upon. We've supplied you with a kitchen fully loaded with every appliance to make your experience in the kitchen fun There are 3 flat screen TV's on the property, (The largest in the family room and 60'). There is wifi for your computer, and a Casio player keyboard. We've left DVD's and videos and board games and books. The house has cable, Netflix, land line phone for local calls (Think snow storm and mts. and your cell may not work here.) We also provide a snowplow service to be sure you get in and out of the driveway in winter. Additionally, there are garage door openers to let you in if the weather is stormy. This house also has 3 car garage, plus ample driveway area for parking up to 6 more vehicles or your boat.
What makes this Cabin unique
Upon entering you will find a large, cozy inviting living room opening to the kitchen, dining room and large deck overlooking the forest. The kitchen has a new refrigerator and double wall oven in addition to everything you need to cook and serve 12 people. The living room also boasts a real wood burning stove for those chilly nights. The house also 'splits' easily to accommodate two families. With one family sleeping 'upstairs' where there are 3 bedrooms. A master suite with a newly remodeled bathroom, Foster and Stearns king mattress, front deck closet and dresser for storage and flat screen TV for some quiet time. The second bedroom has 2 twin beds and access to the front deck. The third bedroom has a bunk and a twin. There is also a full bath on this level. Downstairs there is another master with the same great mattress in a queen, full bath, family room with large screen TV, mini refrigerator, fold out queen futon and deck area. It's great to be able to share common area of the living, yet separate to settle in for private time in the evenings. We have made certain that all the mattresses are top of the line, linens are comfy and down comforters are on all the beds. You'll find big fluffy towels in the bathrooms. The kitchen is fully stocked with appliances, dishes, flatware, and serving pieces. There are 3 TV's, WIFI, VCR, CD players, extra chairs, pillows and blankets. Forced gas heat for convenience, but a cozy wood stove for ambiance. If the weather is warm, there are some bicycles and helmets in the garage for you to use! The cabin literally has everything you need waiting for you...including extra toothbrushes just in case! Lastly, the driveway is almost flat! Yes, easy in and out in bad weather. Our house has a 3 car garage with door openers, something you'll really apppreciate in wet weather.
