Exceptional Stay at Bearfoot Lodge

This was our second visit to Bearfoot Lodge, and it once again surpassed our expectations. The cabin is spacious, impeccably clean, and meticulously maintained. Nestled among serene pine trees, it offers a tranquil and picturesque environment. Its location in a quiet cul-de-sac provided a safe and ideal setting for our family to enjoy outdoor activities together. We greatly appreciate the comfort and quality of this property and look forward to future stays.

The house was perfect for our family. Perfect yard for the grandkids to play and the access to the pool was so nice. We have been vacationing in Truckee for years and will for sure come back to stay at this house.

Snow Much Fun!

We brought our young grandchildren to experience some snow play. The house was very accommodating and we just walked out back to make a snow run for them to sled on…no car travel!

Everything was great and met our expectations. The only issue was the trash cans in the bear bin were full upon our arrival from the previous guest.

Thanks so much for staying with Tahoe Getaways. Thank you for your candid feedback regarding the full trash bin. We do our best to remind guests to provide access for out local waste management pick-up during their stay and our Housekeeping/Operations team works diligently to manage guest refuge; sometimes homes do get missed in the process and we deeply apologize.

Perfect for family gathering

We spent a long weekend with our daughters and their families in Bearfoot Lodge. It is definitely the best house in Tahoe that we have rented. The layout was perfect for the variety of ages we had. Everyone was able to find a spot to relax or play games and not feel like we were on top of each other. The kitchen is exceptionally well stocked and roomy enough for several people to be cooking at once. We will definitely return to this home.

Celebration of 55/80

We stayed at the Bearfoot Lodge for a week in July with our 2 daughters and their families to celebrate my 80th birthday and our 55 Anniversary. There was plenty of room for our 3 families including grandchildren. The house was very comfortable, clean and with a well stocked kitchen. The easy access to unlimited walking/biking trails right out the back was a treat as was the wonderful display of wildflowers. We were impressed with all there is to do and see very close to Truckee.

Bearfoot Lodge at Tahoe Donner

This was a great house for our large group of 8 adults and 5 children. All 5 bedrooms were upstairs. There was a large common area looking out to the woods. The shared amenities (pool, beach, tennis) were a 5-15 minute drive from the house. We had an issue with the TV and Tahoe Gateways was very responsive in resolving the problem.

My family and I had a blast at the Bearfoot Lodge. We were a group of 12 and fit perfectly inside the house. The home is very spacious with high ceilings and double dining rooms and a nice loft to hang out. The out doors are was great we had enough room to play a nice game of volleyball. Only 20 mins away from Donnor Lake and 40 from Reno. My family and I would definitely book again ! I would recommend that if you have small children to take some sort of streaming devices as the TV's did not work and there wasn't any board games in the house.

Snow trip

Our family of 10 had a wonderful time at this beautiful well cared for and well maintained cabin. It accommodated all of us comfortably. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. There were plenty of towels and bedding.. I can't think of anything it was lacking except maybe a few extra blankets but I brought some so it was no big deal. We pretty much got snowed in but there were shovels and sleds in the garage for us to use. We had a great time and I would definitely choose this place to return to.

Not What We Bargained For

No Firewood Power Outage - 8 hours, no heat, no hot water, no way to cook food Trash Cans Full - had to take garbage home with us due to property managers statement of charge for leaving trash behind Something is living in the attic / space between the roof and ceiling above the master bedroom, scratching and clawing starting as early as 5:00am every morning

Response from VrboOwner on 16 May 2024
Thank you for the review, Mike! So future guests are aware, we only charge a fee for excessive trash. If the garbage was full when you arrived, we would be happy to come remove it. While some homeowners do provide firewood, Tahoe Getaways does not. Firewood can be purchased locally. Tahoe Getaways is also not responsible for power outages as they are out of our control. The critter in the wall has since been removed. Thank you again for providing this information.

Thanksgiving get away

Two families from our extended family shared this house and there was plenty of space. The layout of the bedrooms is a little funky but we made it work. The downstairs living space is really nice for a large group to hang out together. The kitchen is well stocked. We cooked Thanksgiving dinner there. The double ovens are a nice touch. There’s plenty of seating for a large amount of people. The backyard was covered in snow when we were there and it was so fun! The yard is flat and then has a small hill down to a meadow so the kids built a sled run off the back of the property and the smaller kids built a snowman. The dogs ran in the snow. There aren’t any other houses behind the property so it makes for a private feel. The only suggestion is more blankets and pillows!! It might not matter as much during the summer but in the winter this is a must!
