Peaceful mountain home

Great stay. Cozy home with the cutest loft. It was the kiddo's favorite spot in the house! Neighborhood was quiet, house was very easy to get to and a to-go dinner from The Lodge was an awesome, yummy way to celebrate our wonderful family ski trip weekend!

We had a great stay at this cute cabin. It felt right out of a another time, but in a good way. Our young kids were truly intrigued and fascinated by the VHS collection and analog television (haha!) and loved watching some of the kids movies and participating in putting the tape in, rewinding, etc. There were also lots of games for the kids to get into. The kitchen was well stocked. The proximity to Tahoe Donner downhill was a super pleasant surprise. Would stay here again.

Cozy

We enjoyed our stay at Ama's homey and cozy cabin. It was a little dark inside and the cabin was dated, but that added to the comfy feel. We had a blast watching Top Gun on the VHS. The cabin was well located near Tahoe Donner and Northstar. Ama was very communicative and thoughtful.

Home away from home, friendly host

For a rental, this is the best lit home we stayed in. And it has everything that we need for a comfortable stay. When we had a problem, Ama the host was very responsive, and she also checked on us. Having a garage was a must for us, especially with the snow storm. I was concerned a little about getting the sheets and towels laundered before we leave for 7 people, but it was totally doable, because the washer and dryers were so large. We did have to shovel a little to get to the front entrance due to snow, but they had ice for us to keep it not being slick throughout our stay in January.

Comfortable and Relaxing Cabin

My family and I enjoyed our 2-week stay here immensely. We loved the large garage that had plenty of space for our bikes, paddle boards, etc. We loved the front and back decks that allowed for shady outdoor seating any time of day. We loved the quiet neighborhood that had easy access to short biking/hiking trails around the surrounding green belts. We loved that the house had plenty of extra towels and things like pizza cutters, ice cream scoopers, tupperware, dishes for kids. We loved the large-capacity washing machine, soft sheets and variety of pillows. We loved the open living/dining/kitchen area and extra upstairs hang out areas. We loved that it had two full bathrooms and fast Wi-fi. It was so perfect that the only thing I missed from home was our King-sized bed. Ama has done a fantastic job setting up the place and is great at communicating as well. We are ready for another visit already!

Great home

Overall the house was great. Having to do the laundry before leaving was a little much. Usually most places have you leave it for the clean up crew. The kitchen needed a few more oven items. But other than that the bathrooms were great, the amount of beds was great. The living room/dining area was great for everyone to hangout in.

Great location

My family appreciated having a place to stay for a couple of nights in beautiful Tahoe Donner. The kitchen was so well-stocked, it was fortunate we didn't bring much! It felt more like visiting a relative than renting a home, which was perfect for what we were looking for. We didn't have the time to run multiple loads of bedding laundry as requested, but we were able to get one load going before we left. There were plenty of cleaning supplies, and we were able to vacuum up some crumbs we spilled on the carpet in the kitchen area. The owner was very responsive and thoughtful. Overall, a good experience.

Comfortable Stay

We reserved this home for members of our family to participate in a weekend sailing trip. Unfortunately, with increasing COVID cases, just 2 of us ended up staying here. The home is comfortable and fully outfitted. Ama was amazing with communication. We would definitely recommend as a place to stay while visiting Tahoe. Would be great for a family with children.

Great place

Clean with a nice layout. Ama was very communicative and check in, etc went off without a hitch. We had 4 of us staying there but it’s clear it can accommodate at least two or more additional people. Great location for getting out to the Tahoe / Truckee area. 25 minutes from Tahoe. 5 minutes from downtown Truckee.

The host was super organized and directions very clear on caring for the house. Everything was labeled inside as to make it easy to understand how everything worked!
