Host was very responsive and helpful during check-in and check-out. Dog-friendly property with a small fenced backyard for pet safety.

This property was in a good location and had the basic necessities needed. It is outdated but comfortable. It would’ve been nice to park in the garage; I would suggest it to be noted in the description that the garage is not accessible. We appreciated it was dog friendly.

Really nice property with great location for Tahoe/Donner ski.

Really great long weekend location with reasonable rates. 2 queen beds were very comfortable. Cooking equipment and dinnerware were not fancy, but certainly adequate. Several extra pieces of sporting equipment (bike,, kayak) and big snow blower. Check in took a little longer as the instructions were a bit unclear and technology was a bit balky. That said, we got it cleared up with friendly help from the owner, Overall we would DEFINITELY STAY HERE AGAIN!.

Cabin is in need of TLC

My family and I stayed at this cabin and was disappointed with the overall condition. The furniture is old and worn, the lighting is dim, and the entire place could use a fresh coat of paint. The kitchen is outdated and minimally stocked, making it difficult to cook or enjoy meals comfortably. While the location is great, the lack of upkeep and attention to detail made the stay less enjoyable. Would not recommend unless major updates are made.

Amy, thank you for being our guest and taking the time to share your experience. We're so pleased our home's prime location served you well! That said, we apologize for any areas you felt in need of some TLC. Your comments were shared with the local manager who noted that upkeep is maintained but is kept with a more rustic aesthetic. Some of the furniture has a worn finish, but it is in good repair and the home is comfortably equipped. We’re sorry you were disappointed and we appreciate your feedback and we take guests' preferences as an opportunity to improve.
