Curtis is a great host. Been there many times over the years with both friends and family. The design is truly special- it has a 'real' cabin feel with all the modern amenities tucked in there. The outdoor gas fire pit is nothing short of brilliant.

Great family get away, room for everyone

Our stay at this massive cabin was really enjoyable. Lots of space for everyone to have a comfy room/bed and the ping pong table was excellent. Staying in Truckee/Donner in the summer is all about the lake and access only takes about 5 minutes down the road to the state park.

great Donner lake home for the family

We had eight adults and three little ones, and the house worked great-spacious and room for everyone. Big table where we all could eat together and a great fire pit for s'mores each night. Would highly recommend and would go back to.

Loved our stay!

This is the second time we have stayed at this home. While the photos on VRBO website are a bit dark, the home is not. There are beautiful views from every window as well as a wide deck to step out onto to enjoy the morning freshness. The kitchen is well stocked. The hosts/owners are very responsive. We hope to go back again.

I had a milestone birthday in December, not an ideal time for a celebration because of Christmas and unpredictable weather, and we are not winter outdoor enthusiasts. I asked my children and grandchildren to join my husband and I to spend a weekend at Donner Lake (one of our favorite places). So happy we found this great house. We had such a wonderful weekend making memories at this spacious, clean, and comfortable home.

Another great Donner week

This was our second year at this property. It is so comfortable, with everything needed. Upstairs has 3 bedrooms, two of which have an extra hall and privacy door. Downstairs has 2 bedrooms which are good for those who do not like stairs. There are stairs from parking area but you can also temporarily park on the street and carry all groceries in with no stairs. Fire pit and patio lovely spot for after dinner sitting.

Winter getaway for families

We were a group of 3 families, all with children, staying for a getaway in the snow. And we got that! This house is a great set up for groups with separate rooms for kids and parents, a tree house, a pool table, and plenty of space for all. Everything was better than we expected inside and outside. The host was responsive and incredibly gracious when we thought we may get snowed in on our check out day. Overall, we all agreed we would stay there again!
