Amazing home. Lots of space and room for everyone. Host was very personable and that house was stocked with just about anything you could need. Would highly recommend for those with large families. We built four days of great memories in the home. Not a three minute walk to beach as mentioned on site however still convenient to get to water. Would definitely stay again.

Beautiful place and beautiful location

This cabin was so beautiful and well stocked! We had everything we needed for making our own meals for our group of 8 women celebrating a special birthday together. The hot tub was exquisitely clean… the cleanest I’ve experienced in a rental property. The location was beautiful, peaceful and relaxing. Thanks John and family for going out of your way to welcome us in your house!

Lovely cabin, amazing host!

We loved our stay at the Donner Dayz cabin. Check-in was a breeze, and communications with the host were prompt and enjoyable. The cabin is loaded with everything you could need - extra linens, towels for the hot tub, grill, fully stocked kitchen with tons of cookware, even a fully stocked pantry! The Roomba was on the fritz during our stay, but I'm sure that will be resolved, and it will be great to be able to set it to clean up while out for the day.

Great Snow Cabin!!

An amazing property for a large family! We were up for a ski weekend with family. Loved the upstair master suite for the grandparents and the downstairs for family and kids to spread out with plenty of of beds for all! One note, the bunk bed rooms no longer have bunk beds. Both rooms have full size beds with full size trundles. Not an issue for our group but important to know for an accurate bed count. Great views, fantastic hot tub and a well stocked kitchen. Close to resorts and great communication from hosts!

10 Stars!!!

If it was even possible to give a 10 star rating, this place would be it! John was an amazing host. Always available and was prompt in getting back to me. I called and texted him whenever we needed something and he was there to the rescue. This home provided everything we need for 2 days and more. The kitchen was fully stocked with pots, pants, cutlery, plates, and cups. The pantry had ingredients (salt, pepper, etc.) so if you needed salt, you didn't have to drive to Safeway (15 minutes away) to buy some. The bathrooms had towels in case you forgot to pack one. He also provided toothbrushes, shampoo, toothpaste and hand soap. The living room was so cozy with soooo many pillows and blankets. We felt right at home. Also, they had an Alexa in the main living room. We definitely took advantage of it by telling Alexa to play Christmas songs the entire day. The ski resorts are not that far from here - about 10-15 min drive. Thank you again John for letting us rent your home over the weekend! We can't wait to rent from you guys next year. Happy Holidays!

We loved our stay at this beautiful house! It's got a large living room with views of Donner Lake through the trees, a well-stocked kitchen, and comfortable beds in all of the bedrooms. The house is clean, comfortable, and spacious. Our favorite part of the house was the hot tub on the top deck. It's the perfect way to start or finish your day in Donner!The owner is a great communicator, providing lots of information about the house and the surrounding area. He also gave easy instructions for getting in and out of the house, parking, etc.This house is a great place for a family or group of friends who want to enjoy all that Donner and Truckee have to offer.

This property was amazing , from the hot tub to the Mountain View. I would recommend this to anyone one going to Donner Lake. It is close to West Beach and a 10 minute beautiful drive around the lake to the State park entrance. The most impressive thing about this is the host. 10/10 in communication and accommodation. I cannot tell you enough how amazing the host. Thanks John!!!

Very comfortable stay at an amazingly stocked house

This place was the ideal stay for a group of friends looking to head to the nearby ski resorts for a weekend. There is a lot I could mention that was great, including the awesome outdoor hot tub, but I think most surprising of all was how absolutely stocked the kitchen was. We brought many supplies to cook our own meals and it turned out that 75% of it was already provided free to use. Spices, flour, sugar, soups, sauces, creamer, honey, syrup, the list went on. Anyway, highly recommend John as a host. He was super welcoming, very responsive, and extremely helpful for any issues we had.

One of top stays ever in Tahoe

Owner called me prior to trip— very personable. I asked if they had kid-friendly plates and he said he’ll get them shipped for us!! Wow what amazing service, beyond what was expected. Super well stocked with everything needed. Clean and beds so comfortable. Zero issues. Only thing would be to have more USB plugs? Very quiet and sound proof. Sleds in garage and played in backyard. Wished we used hot tub! Roads well plowed. Can’t wait to go back!

A family favorite!

We have stayed at several different cabins in the Donner area. This cabin was by far the best! From the view, the floor plan, sleep options, and the best stocked kitchen we’ve ever had. We are already looking forward to our next trip!
