About this property

Family Friendly Cabin, 3BR/2BA + loft

The perfect destination for families (and their dogs!) to experience the numerous adventures available to explore in Tahoe/ Truckee. Our cabin is located on a quiet horseshoe shaped street with little through traffic creating a safe environment for walking, biking and play. The driveway is flat and easily accommodates 4 cars.

Our home has a convenient layout enjoyable for both a single family as well as to share with another, sleeping 8. First floor: Open kitchen/dining/living area leading through double sliders to private back deck and wooded flat yard, full bath with jacuzzi tub, bedroom 1 with queen, bedroom 2 with 4 twin bunks. Upstairs: bedroom 3 with king, large bathroom with shower and loft area with flat screen TV (NetFlix, cable, WIFI) and storage shelves stocked with games, legos, art supplies, toys.

All beds have new matresses, linens and down duvets. New hard flooring in living/dining room, kitchen, and bathroom. Both baths and kitchen are updated with everything you need to feel at home. The backyard is flat creating a safe area for children and dogs to explore and has a horseshoe pit. Our family has rented using VRBO numerous times and understand what makes a home a fabulous place to vacation. We have done our best to ensure this experience for our guests.

Tahoe Donner is our favorite place for families in the Tahoe area. Please visit the Tahoe Donner website for daily updates on special events and activities as well as information on the numerous amenities available to our guests. **PLEASE NOTE: MANY AMENITIES REQUIRE A DAY USE FEE. NEW POLICY as of 1/1/2025: Guests must notify owner in advance to be registered to use private amenities. Tahoe Donner no longer uses transferable guest cards. Owners must name guests intending to use facilities using the new registration process. If you do not arrange to use amenities in advance, you will not have access. In the summer spend your days hiking, biking or horseback riding on the extensive TD trail system, enjoying the private beach for homeowners and registered guests at Donner Lake, swimming in 3 pools/ hot tubs, golfing, playing tennis. At Northwoods clubhouse enjoy movie nights, dining at Pizza on the Hill on the fire-pit warmed patios while your kids play on the play structure a few feet away. BBQ and play Bocce Ball or sand volleyball. Your possibilities are endless--plan on good times, fun people, and treasured memories. We keep notes on the various hikes and swimming holes we discover and enjoy sharing the information with guests.

In the winter, teach your kids to ski at Donner's own beginning/ intermediate ski hill. What it lacks in terrain, it makes up for in price! The cross country ski center is one of the most extensive in the area. There is also a fun sledding hill. Our home is approximately 15 miles from Northstar resort as well as proximate to Squaw, Alpine, Sugar Bowl and Boreal. Snowshoeing right out the backdoor is our dog's choice activity!

Part of the town of Truckee, our home is a short drive to historic downtown complete with restaurants and shopping as well as summer concert series.

Our comfortable cabin is the perfect center from which to explore it all!

Great house!!!

Erin was great. Super hospitable. Her house is exactly as billed. One slight suggestion, the listing suggested there was a hot tub, which we did not see one. It was by no means a showstopper. We would totally rent this house and with her again.

Excellent Tahoe Cabin

This is our second time stay at this property. There is nothing fancy about this cabin, but it is perfect for our family of 4. The kitchen is small, easy to navigate, and well-stocked with everything one needs. The main room has a 2-story ceiling, so the small space feels spacious. The beds are quite comfortable; we sleep very well here. The cabin sits on a beautiful lot, with plenty of open space and wonderful views out the back. We hope to return many times in the years to come.

Lovely stay in an A frame in the redwoods!

Nice and spacious A frame home. Good location and comfortable accommodations. Internet was a bit touch and go at times, but with a bit of patience we still were able to surf for what we needed. Our little dog loved the access to nature (backyard) and the windows to watch the birds and squirrels in the trees. Inside steps are a tad steep and a couple are slanted - suggest fixing as my husband took a minor tumble - thus grab the handrail and remove socks before using. The access to laundry and a well equipped kitchen provided us the comforts of home on vacation. We hope to be back!

Wonderful!!!

This cabin was absolutely perfect. We thoroughly enjoyed Everything this cabin had to offer. So cozy and adorably decorated. We never wanted to leave and spent most of our time reading by the fire, watching the snow fall. It was a perfect and relaxing weekend. The location was ideal, so close to everything. Our dogs enjoyed as well.

About the host

Hosted by Erin Robbins

Host profile image
A few years ago our family experienced a surprising bump on our life path when our then 4 year old daughter was diagnosed with the autoimmune disease alopecia areata. Alopecia areata is a common, non-contagious autoimmune disease where the body confuses the hair follicle as a foreign substance (like a germ), attacks it and causes hair loss. Alopecia progresses differently for each individual and can cause patch hair loss all the way to total baldness. As well, hair can regrow at any time only to be lost again. In our daughter's case, she lost all her hair and is a fabulously beautiful, brave, adventurous and BALD 7-yr-old! Though we all went through an adjustment period, we arrived at a place where we all celebrate how unique our daughter's situation is and concluded that being bald would never limit her life possibilities, rather serve as a reminder of how special she is. Everyday our daughter takes risks and shows courage--just walking into a restaurant with every eye following you and every child (often loudly) asking about the girl with no hair, requires this. In the spirit of our daughter's inspiring bravery and confidence, we all began living life and making choices differently. Our recent purchase of this home is one way in which we follow our daughter's example, take risks, and follow a 'no excuses' philosophy to living our dreams and passions. If a 7-yr-old who faces the world bald and so very different can do it, can't we? Can't you?

Join our family in getting out there, creating adventures and trying new things. Tahoe is the best place in the world for it!

If you would like to learn more about alopecia areata and the amazing children and adults whose lives this disease affects, please visit the National Alopecia Areata Foundation's website.
