About this property
Tahoe Donnor Family Basecamp
Cozy cabin in a central location. Wifi. Access to amenities such as hot tub, pools, gym, tennis, golf, and beach.
The space Our cabin is a 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom two-story house. The downstairs area has a cozy living space and is open to the large and well-equipped kitchen and dining area. You’ll find all the appliances you need and lots of counters and cabinet space. There are two bedrooms downstairs, the master bedroom with a desk and ensuite bathroom, as well as a queen bedroom. There is a second full bathroom on the main floor with a washer & dryer.
Upstairs you’ll enter an open loft area with toys, two Nugget couches, and a large-screen TV (streaming services & Samsung TV only). A perfect place to play and unwind. There are two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom upstairs as well. One of the rooms has a queen bed, and the other is a bunk room with a bunk bed and a full-size bed. You’ll also find a pack-n-play with sheets in the bunk room closet.
In the backyard, you’ll enjoy an unobstructed view of nature. In winter you can make a great sledding hill and in summer a nice place to explore the outdoors. In the summer you can fire up the BBQ and enjoy a meal outside or relax on the outdoor furniture while the kids search for pinecones and treasures.
Guest access This cabin is a perfect gateway to adventure. In the winter, you are within 20 minutes of world-class skiing at Palisades (formerly Squaw Valley), Northstar, and Sugar Bowl. Or, if you’re new to snow sports, you might be more comfortable at Tahoe Donner Downhill (a 7-minute drive from the cabin) or Soda Springs.
In summer, you will have access to a private beach at Donner Lake, where you can play in or on the water with your paddleboard, kayaks, and more. There are countless incredible hiking trails throughout the area. Located just 4 miles from downtown Truckee, if outdoor sports aren’t your thing, or you need a break, you’re at the doorstep of great coffee, bars, restaurants, and local shopping.
Right in the Tahoe Donner area, you will have access to two rec centers with swimming pools, hot tubs, saunas, gyms, and more. There are also tennis courts, a golf course, cross-country skiing trails, snow play, and hiking.
We look forward to hosting you in our cabin in this incredible area and hope you enjoy your stay. You are always welcome to contact us for recommendations or more information about the area.

Great stay! Wonderful layout for 2 families with separate area upstairs great for kids. Got snowed in one day and had a blast playing in the yard. Very comfortable - would stay again!

Thank you for the lovely review, we would be happy to host your family again.
Very clean beautiful place inside and out. The kitchen had lots of supplies for cooking, and upstairs had books and toys for our kids. The location is amazing too, so close to everything. The host was super friendly and gave us great local recommendations. My family loved our stay, it was perfect!
We loved our stay at Michelle’s place. Three families (6 adults, 4 kids aged 10 and under). It was super clean and comfortable with a good amount of space for us all for the weekend. The decor was clean and uncluttered, without being charmless or cold. Everything worked great and we would love to stay again! I especially appreciated the guest access to the Tahoe Donner rec center and pool, while everyone else was on the slopes. Thanks, Michelle!
Everything about our stay was great. Michelle was a lovely host and the house was perfect. Everything was clean and both coffeemaker and toaster were an upgrade from some of the other places we've stayed. There was plenty of dishes and silverware for the 9 of us. The grandkids had a great time playing in the snow right behind the house. So nice to have 3 bathrooms with our large group. Highly recommended!
As advertised. Easy to access and centrally located. Efficient layout with plenty of room for all

Thank you for staying and for taking the time to review. Curious why you didn't give us 5 stars with feedback like this? You were great guests and we hope you and your group visit again in the future.
Due to unforeseen circumstances, we had to come up one day late and had to cut our trip short by 2 days on the backend due to the incoming storm. So our 4 night booked trip turned into just one night at this home. However, we could not have been happier with this home for the short time we were there. It's beautiful and spacious and was more than enough room for the 3 adults and 4 kids we had on our trip. Michelle, the owner was very communicative and very kind. We highly recommend her home to others and would absolutely stay there again in the future. We were lamenting having to leave early, but glad we were able to beat the storm home!
Everything was great, the communication with Michelle was perfect, she was available at all times. Will definitely come visit again!

My husband and I live in Walnut Creek and have 2 kids. We love sharing our passions with them, such as skiing, water sports, cooking, music, traveling, and exploring.
Why they chose this property
Our cabin is in Tahoe Donner. It's a serene mountain neighborhood with access to all the highlights of the Tahoe area and downtown Truckee. We can't decide what season we like best; they are all amazing.
