This was our second stay in this awesome cabin, we love it! The room arrangements are great for our family, it's very cozy and welcoming, and all of the cabin decor is great! Communication with the host is always easy and the check in process was very clear. The location is great for skiing, we went to Palisades but Sugar Bowl is also nearby. We will definitely stay again!

Kerry, the host, was amazing in responding quickly. Definitely a beautiful "luxury" cabin. Everything was well organized with clear instructions on how to use the hot tub and fireplace. Our granddaughters enjoyed playing the many games they had and enjoyed reading the children's books. We'd definitely stay again.

February 2020 Stay

We enjoyed our stay very much at this beautifully furnished cabin. The owner was very easy to communicate with and made sure we were provided all the necessary details. The window line to the backyard area was gorgeous! We could just sit there gazing all day sipping coffee or enjoying a glass of wine. We would definitely stay here again.

Perfect winter hangout for the family

Really enjoyed our stay here, two families with four adults and three young teenagers. The cabin is nicely furnished with comfortable beds, and there's plenty of space, including a great dining table with seating for eight. The kitchen is well-equipped, the fireplace throws out lots of warmth, and the WiFi / internet connectivity is good. We've rented lots of places in Tahoe over the years, this is one of the better ones. Definitely recommended.

This cabin feels like home. From the beautiful setting, warm furnishings, spacious deck with hot tub, miscellaneous details (games, quality linens, kitchen supplies), and the HOA amenities you can start your vacation as soon as you walk through the door. I will return again!

This property is very nice. Everything was very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked. We enjoyed the hot tub while surrounded by beautiful trees and snow. We had a beautiful day of Skiing only six minutes away. Great communication with the the owners once again. We always have an amazing time staying at this beautiful property!

Favorite Cabin of All Time

We absolutely loved this cabin! If I could give it 10 stars I would. The overall impression and feel of the cabin is very welcoming and warm. All of the seating and bedroom furniture is extremely comfortable. Every where you look there is great decor and artistic touches that go well with the cabin feel. The hot tub was really easy to use and fit our group of 4 comfortably. I can't think of a thing this cabin didn't have that I wanted in a great getaway weekend. We hope to stay again and highly recommend this cabin in Tahoe!

Beautiful home and fabulous hosts!

We reserved our stay in this beautiful home in Truckee to attend a family wedding in Tahoe. The home and accommodations were absolutely fabulous and we fell in love with Truckee. Having coffee on the deck in the morning listening to the birds was so peaceful. Preparing gourmet meals in the kitchen was so fun and gave us heartwarming memories. Playing horseshoes and enjoying the hot tub made us all happy. It was an unforgettable wedding, vacation and family time. We'll never forget this special place! Thank you to Kerry, our amazing host!

The property is gorgeous, the host amazing! Everything about our stay was perfect. The home is beautifully appointed with lots of extra touches. The kitchen is gorgeous and well stocked, beautiful pottery and dishes! We loved the grill on the deck! Ate every meal at home while there for 3 days. The beds are super comfortable. The home is well laid out for privacy. We really enjoyed using the ping pong table and the horse shoe pit (and the hammock was an extra bonus). Very quiet neighborhood, backed up to the golf course with beautiful views. A lovely walk on the cart path to more beautiful views!

I hate to say

I hate to say this only because I don’t want people to go to this property, so much, that it becomes in available to me, but here we go! This is a beautiful property that has all the amenities. It’s well maintained, very clean, organized and makes you feel right at home. It was perfect size for our party of 4 adults and one child. The surrounding property of pine trees, chipmunks, golf course and the stars at night while sharing stories with friends in the hot tub was a soothing experience. We absolutely love this property and the owners responses when inquired. Thank you so much for this beautiful memory and we will definitely be back as long as it’s not booked LOL.

Wonderful, Cozy, Tasteful & Comfortable Tahoe Donner Cabin

Our family of three had a wonderful winter weekend at the Walsh's mountain home. The house has plenty of vintage Tahoe charm but has been tastefully updated with modern appliances, finishes, and decor. Unlike some rental properties, it is evident that the owners spend a lot of time at the house and have it very comfortably equipped with all sorts of little touches that add up to a wonderfully welcoming experience -- e.g., nice soaps and lotions, attractive lighting fixtures on dimmers, plenty of firewood and kindling, good towels. Finally, a rental property with a fully equipped kitchen and decent knives! The cleaners did good work, and the property was squeaky clean for our arrival. The house is fairly compact, with smaller bedrooms and bathrooms, but the main living area is airy and spacious, with huge windows looking through pretty trees to the golf course. Kerry is a wonderful host and went above and beyond expectations to ensure a comfortable stay. Thank you!

Amazing property and incredible owners!

My family and I booked this property in the summer for our biennial ski trip. Little did we know at the time that this December California would recieve a record snowfall and the latest storm occurring the weekend prior to our arrival. Kerry was everything you could ask for in an owner….understanding, responsive, and gracious. She worked with us and allowed us to slide our trip to the right saving our trip. She was forthcoming with advice on whether to make the trip or not, even while we were headed out on our drive to the area. She went above and beyond in her communication throughout the entire process. The property itself is amazing. Beautifully decorated and furnished with nice appliances. The kitchen is supplied with everything you could want. Cozy living room. Quiet neighborhood. Close to skiing. Everything we wanted for our stay. All 5 of us in my family agreed it was the best place we have stayed for our ski trips. Would go back in a heartbeat!!

About the host

Hosted by Kerry Walsh

Host profile image
Matt grew up in Colorado, and Kerry grew up in Wisconsin. Skiing and summer cabins up north are some of our fondest childhood memories. We wanted to recreate these simple classic memories for every family that spends time at our house.

Why they chose this property

This is a custom home and everything here has been carefully chosen. Nothing cookie-cutter about it. Call it rustic meets modern. Hickory wood floors, stone wall and wood-burning fireplace, floor to ceiling windows, remodeled kitchen and bathrooms. Our great room is cozy in winter, and our huge deck allows for a lot of outdoor living in summer.

What makes this property unique

Everyone seems to love our house -- there's something magical about it. Truly beautiful and welcoming, but still feels like a classic cabin. It's much more a home than a rental. Come and see for yourselves!
