About the host

Hosted by Karri and Family

Host profile image
We love rafting on the Truckee River, winter skiing at Sugar Bowl, Squaw, Alpine, and Homewood, downtown Truckee restaurants and shopping, downhill skiing, sledding, and the close proximity of this house to Tahoe City, Reno, Sacramento, and San Francisco Bay Area.

Why they chose this property

We like traveling with our dog, and appreciate that other families do too! This Donner Lake neighborhood is very dog friendly, and so is downtown Truckee. In winter, we ski at Palisades Tahoe or Alpine and enjoy FAR LESS traffic going home than when we stayed in Tahoe City. It's also super easy to access Truckee off Highway 80 and easy drive back to San Francisco.

What makes this property unique

This cabin has a vacant lot to separate it from Donner Pass Road... so much quieter than being right on the road or Lake - Lake Views and easy access without all the road noise. We prefer a single story house - feels safer and more comfortable for both the grandchildren and the grandparents. The fully equipped kitchen and full-sized washer/dryer are a big plus for families traveling with kids.
