One lesson we've learned about the great outdoors is the frequent requirement to wipe down the deck furniture. Despite our efforts to maintain the utmost cleanliness for your convenience, it seems that nature is working against us. You may need to wipe down the outdoor table, chairs, and any other outdoor seating. The dust and pollen accumulates within a matter of hours.

About the host
Hosted by Emily & the Tahoe Cohost team

When we first walked into the cabin, we knew we had found "the one"! We loved the feel of the house, and the perfect location within Tahoe Donner. It felt so right! We are avid skiers and bought the place primarily as a ski cabin. We were also newly married (for the second time each), and blending our families, so we thought this would be the perfect place to create our new family's traditions. The kids loved coming here, and we indeed shared many good times that have become family lore. But what we didn't anticipate was how much we would use the cabin in the summer! We actually use it more in the Summer/Fall than we do in the Winter, which we did not anticipate. We LOVE hiking, biking, golf, tennis, and sailing from the Tahoe Donner private marina on Donner Lake. The cabin is where we can relax, and get in touch with nature and each other. As soon as we turn onto Hillside Drive, our spirits lift, and we feel ourselves entering into our special happy place. We hope you feel the magic too, and enjoy your stay.
