My wife and I and our dog had the most lovely stay this weekend at this beautiful cabin. Such an amazing spot, and so centrally located. The back yard with fire pit and grill were really nice features, and the cabin itself was super cozy. Would 100% recommend, and can’t wait to go back for another visit!

We loved our time at the cabin in Truckee. The weather was rainy and cold, but that was ok because the cabin was very cozy and comfortable. It was an easy walk to town, basically a flat level walk. And it is an easy drive to Donner Lake and Lake Tahoe -perfectly located. We will definitely be back!!!
