Great family vacation! Hot tub was great. Kitchen was great. Lots of useful kitchen amenities such as pots pans, coffee maker, toaster, etc. 30 minutes to sugar bowl and Northstar.
The cabin was perfect for our family. Great location and the hot tub was amazing. Lars was very accommodating, helpful, and responsive. Highly recommended.
My family and I stayed in this house for 6 days after Christmas and over New Year. We were very comfortable and warm - hot showers, great fire in the lounge and general heating. The kitchen was well stocked and the garage was empty for us to park our car (very helpful as a lot of snow came down!)
We would love to return đ
Everything we needed for a good home base while skiing. Comfy beds, nice linens, clean bathrooms, well-stocked kitchen. Interesting art on the walls, books and games, cozy fireplace, hot tub for star gazing from after a day out on the mountain. Simple, clean, and driveway was cleared early each morning by a snow blowing company. Thanks Lars!
The forest as your backyard, what more could you want? Lars' place was so quiet, peaceful, and had everything we could ask for. There's lots of room inside, has a very cozy feel, and the BBQ is amazing (best I've ever used), which helped since we grilled every night we were there. We stayed in the summer and it was an easy drive to Lake Tahoe, or any of the places to see, would love to stay again.
The house was great and so was the owner-Lars. We were surrounded by a wall of snow so we didn't see the grounds outside of the house but the pathway to get in and out of the house was clean and so was the path to the hot tub. We had an issue with the internet connection and once we contacted Lars he quickly tried to fix it. The kitchen was beautiful and included what seemed like a brand new stovetop. I was there with my husband, mom and 3 month old and there was plenty of space for us. I'd stay again if I were to go back up to Truckee.
My husband and I stayed in this cabin for our anniversary, the location was excellent and the home was clean other than a couple huge spiders in the showers. The hot tub was great once we were able to heat it up from eco mode. I was disappointed in the lack of patio furniture and the teeny BBQ, we had to cook our corn and steaks separately, but the kitchen is fabulous!!! Very nice oven and plenty of dishes and amenities. The Best part was the kitchen-the worst was the mattresses. My husband said plywood would have been more comfortable, bring a mattress topper if you want a cozy sleep. The owner was very kind and responded quickly with info or answers.
This house was great. The kitchen flowed very nicely, the bed upstairs was very comfortable, heating was powerful, the fireplace was very easy to use, and the hot tub was probably the cleanest I've ever been in! Fantastic pick for a family with small children as they had step stools and other random things for you to use.
The reason for the 4 stars rather than 5 is because the cleanliness of the house wasn't the best. There was moldy mayo and salad dressing in the fridge and quite a lot of spiders. Additionally, the lock on their sliding door is missing altogether. This was concerning to us, from a safety standpoint, but given how safe the neighborhood is, we really didn't have any issues. It was more of a mental thing that we worried about.
Would def stay here again, we appreciate you hosting us!
Had an enjoyable stay here with my family and dog in the winter. Good location, quick shot to downtown Truckee and local ski slopes, as well as nice neighborhood with snow lined trees and low traffic streets - great for dog walking. House is well suited for the snow, not many steps, covered walkway from car. Inside has plenty of amenities, warm fireplace, and a master suite separated from the other bedrooms. Hot tub was nice too. Host was responsive and price was good.
We had a lovely time staying at this charming clean cabin. The host was clear and responsive to our questions and helped us settle into the cabin quickly. Their gas fireplace was cozy, the beds and couches were comfortable, and their private outdoor hot tub was the icing on the cake. Although we didnât cook, the kitchen had everything youâd need. The location is close to a supermarket, alot of restaurants, and Truckeeâs downtown. The host allowed us to a lot of their snow toys/equipment which entertained our children and we had good family bonding time playing with their well stocked assortment of board games. We had a great stay and would highly recommend!
I had recently stayed at the Tahoe Donner house with families and a dog for the our last summer getaway. The house of location is close to Truckee downtown, Donner lake and Donner Pass where I usually take kids for swimming and hiking. A outdoor hot tube right in front of the front door and faced out to open back yard was perfect for afternoon relaxation. My 17yr old dog loved the open pathway directly connecting from the it backyard, we walked almost 1miles twice a day, I did not mind going out with my pajamas, it feels like l own the whole open space đ.
There are so much good thing about the house, of course fully equipped kitchen, many many linens &towels available , comfortable beds and board games for kids. I will looking for coming back next summer, maybe this winter.
Spacious for our small family of 4. Nice kitchen to cook in. Enjoyed the fireplace. Could have used another easy chair, and better lighting. We would return.
We loved our stay here in Tahoe Donner! We went to the private beach club and had a great time. The beds were super comfortable with new linens. Lars was super accommodating; highly recommend!
