The location was good and the backyard was great for snow play. But there were a ton of issues with the house that negatively impacted our stay.- the internet rarely worked which was super frustrating since the TVs were streaming Rokus. One person had to work and couldn’t. Had to leave and go to a coffee shop.- bare bones supplies. Chipped dishes, no lighter for the fireplace, and minimal glasses. There were 3 wine glasses, one of which was cracked. Not many glasses or mugs. One dishwashing pod only for a 4 night stay. Living room lamp didn’t work.- most times driveway snow plowing is included. It’s not here. Take note. We asked and the response was curt : we provide you with one shovel. It was a flimsy plastic shovel that was about to break.

Cozy cabin with easy access to Truckee and mountains

This place was perfect for us. Nice neighborhood, pretty lot, and a nice, open main room for congregating. I wish they would spend a couple hundred dollars to outfit the kitchen better. Odd collection of silverware, glassware, plates, coffee cups, no dish clothes for drying, old toaster etc. That was the only negative. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Nice place to stay

This is a nice place with great access to all local amenities. I do wish the place had a bit of update like television and perhaps switch out regular plugs for some that have usb so we could power up devices. Sliding screen door would have been nice to cool the place better. Other than that, loved it.

Weekend Ski Trip

House was ok for our purposes. Plenty of space for 4 adults and 2 kids. Nice fire place and house provided wood. Walkway to front door was snowy, icy and slippery. Kitchen not full stocked so prepare for bringing all items needed. We couldn’t find a can opener. Overall cozy older place, everything worked, not the cleanest but house served our purpose.

House needs a deep clean, location is great

We were very disappointed upon arrival with the state of the house. There was a strange odor and we had to open windows and burn candles for the first few hours. Luckily the weather was amazing so we could enjoy fresh air and open windows during our stay. The carpets are extremely stained and worn. The house had not been well cleaned when we arrived - fridge was dirty and cobwebs were hanging everywhere. Aside from lack of cleanliness the location was amazing and I highly recommend Tahoe Donner.

Perfect for small group

We spent our days skiing/hiking and our evenings cooking and playing board games on the big dining table. Plenty of linens and spacious kitchen. Note: the kitchen isn’t well appointed. There was no cooking oil, can opener or fry pan. Nothing in the fridge and no cooking basics. Just keep in mind if you are going planning on preparing your own meals. Bring everything with you. Otherwise, an outstanding stay!

We stayed at this Vacasa rental during Thanksgiving week, and unfortunately the experience was quite disappointing. The location itself is nice, but the home and overall stay fell short in many ways.The upstairs bathroom sink didn’t drain properly—by the time I finished washing my face, it was nearly overflowing. The bunk bed sheets didn’t fit the mattresses, so they popped off throughout the night. The home also advertised a wood-burning stove, but no wood was provided.The kitchen was poorly appointed as well, with basics like measuring cups and measuring spoons missing.The TV is very small (around 24") and only works through Wi-Fi, which became a major problem when the internet went out. I had to work from Starbucks and eventually rely on a mobile hotspot just to get through my workdays. Vacasa could not get AT&T out during our stay and only offered 20 per night as compensation for the significant inconvenience.Additionally, despite advertising “Dog-friendly cabin with pool & hot tub,” the pool and hot tub were closed. Vacasa stated they “have no connection with the Tahoe Donner HOA and their recreation center,” and therefore would not offer any compensation for the misleading listing.Overall, a very underwhelming rental that didn’t live up to expectations or Vacasa’s usual standards. I wouldn’t stay here again.

Super location

Great location, Clean and comfortable for 1-2 families plus dog. We enjoyed the proximity to Donner Lake - no need to pay for guest passes to the private beach ($16 pp for 90 min access under Covid restrictions) as there is a great Dog friendly beach easily accessible via state park (and no time limit). We also took advantage of the excellent mtn bike trails in tahoe donner. A couple of things could be improved: 1. the wifi is woefully inadequate. If you are planning to try to work at all during your stay, you’ll need to go to the alder creek rec center for public Wi-Fi that works. 2. The kitchen would benefit from a cutting board or two (there were none) and some new pots/pans.

Overall, the property is okay. Internet was spotty and some dishware should be replaced or at least considered. If you want a cabin in the woods to retreat from technology, this is the place for you. If you want somewhere to go for skiing or snowboarding near the slopes... this place is also for you.

Fantastic stay!

This cabin was perfect for our family getaway including my husband and I, our in-laws, and 2 dogs. The space was generous and well appointed. The cabin was clean on arrival and comfortable. The kitchen was perfect for our thanksgiving dinner and had most basic necessities. Would highly recommend!

Great Truckee Holiday Spot

The cabin in the woods was exactly what we had hoped for! It was not in a crowded area but close enough to everything we needed. The accommodations were comfortable but we spent most of our time outside on the patio and in the woods. Perfect if you are looking for something basic which was just what we were looking for.

Pictures are misleading.

Total absence of comfortable living room furniture. The coach seats are awful and lack any cushion resiliency causing individual to slide off the couch. Plenty of dog hair on the carpets and floors. The bunk bed mattresses were past their useful life; all the bed linens were old and uncomfortable to the touch. The front door dead bolt did not work.

Great location, great property management, needs updating

Loved the location of the property. The one thing I wish was we would’ve been notified that we had to put reservations in to go to the pool! We didn’t know and weren’t able to go but one time at night our first night there. The property manager was responsive. I do wish the carpet was cleaner and the bunk beds more comfortable. If a six year old complains about them they really need to be updated. The dishwasher and fridge could also use some updating. Very nice area and checking in was very easy. Thank you, we did have a great family vacation.
