Nice location across from Donner Lake - comfortable furnishings and it has everything you need. The decor is dated and the furnishings and carpets have clearly been well-loved over the years, but that adds to the cozy and very home-like vibe. Mary was also a great and responsive communicator.

The host was great in reaching out and making sure the amenities matched my needs, even before confirming. That way we both new the cabin would be a good fit for my family. And she provided great detailed information about the location and what to expect, always being gracious and accommodating. Would definitely stay here again.
