This house is on a quiet street within walking distance to Trout Creek. It is spacious and can easily accommodate two families with two master bedrooms, a third bedroom with twin beds and a fourth smaller bedroom with bunk beds. The kitchen is well equipped.

Great location, nicely appointed!
The house was comfortable and commodious, with two master en suites which is perfect for sharing with two couples or families. Lots of nooks for family and friends to do their thing—puzzles, games, and excellent WiFi for working and play. A well- stocked kitchen and large dining table for group dinners was great! The location is terrific— beautiful and quiet neighborhood, and within walking distance of the Tahoe Donner rec center with Gym and pools, grocery and deli market, nature trails, golf course, and restaurant/bar. We so enjoyed our stay!

Beautiful setting; perfect location!
This house is spacious and perfect for 2 families or multi generations with 2 primary bedrooms. Although it is listed as a 3 bedroom house, it actually has 4 bedrooms - 2 bedrooms with king size beds, 1 with twin beds and the 4th is a small bedroom with a set of bunk beds. The kitchen is well equipped and there are plenty of dishes of various sizes including what look like brand new bowls. The house is located on a quiet street within walking distance of Trout Creek Rec Center and the nature loop.

Overall fine. Read fine print closely.
Place was fine. No issues. Selected it as most family amenities. None are actually walkable from house. And their pool cost $17. Steep when fess are already abusive.

OK cabin
This cabin is just OK. We were very excited about the house given the number of 5 star reviews from prior visitors. The cabin is in an excellent location in Tahoe Donner – on a nice, quiet street and a quick drive to Truckee. The house itself is in fair condition, rather dated, and is pretty bare bones. The kitchen area is a galley and is cramped. The stove is electric, there is a potpourri of dishes and glasses, and the available appliances and utensils are older but workable. On the positive side, the heating system worked well and Vacasa service was responsive to helping address issues associated with a snowstorm. Efforts have been made to try to spruce up the cabin with some brightly colored furniture and sheets, but it’s still an older, not particularly well-maintained home in need of some updating. Would not stay again unless no other options.

Hi Nic,
We appreciate you submitting your feedback! We're sorry to hear that you did not find the home fitting for you. Our goal is to be as transparent with our listings as possible and provide accurate and current photos, amenities lists, and descriptions so that guests may make an informed choice about what they are paying for and make the right decision for their needs. Thanks for staying with us and we hope for another opportunity to impress you with a much more enjoyable stay!
The owner of this was a vacation company stationed overseas. They were no help getting ahold of the local property to navigate the terrible weather that was affecting the area.
House was large enough for the 6 of us. Can handle eight. Beds were comfortable. Sufficient kitchenware and seating, towels, toiletries. Kids loved the sandbox. Good internet connection and ample TV programming. A few minor changes would really add to the experience I.e. clean out kitchen cabinets, clean up/sweep garage, clean up loose building materials in garage and around the exterior of the house(found nails lying around). Also, more supplies for a two week stay would have been nicer. Kitchen/living room could use some type of cross ventilation (screen door on back door?) for the summer months.

Amazing Tahoe Spot
The house is great. Super functional and clean. Plenty of space to spread out with multiple decks to enjoy the trees and quiet. Location is perfect, 10 mins to Truckee, 5 minute walk to pool, gym, driving range, 5 min drive to pickle ball and tennis. 15 mins to Donner lake beach and 30ish to Lake Tahoe. Highly recommend!
This was listed as a 3 bedroom, but was really a 4 with two masters. Very comfortable. There were snowshoes in the garage for use, which was great. Beds were comfortable. Internet worked great for Zooming and streaming.

Fantastic stay!
This house is wonderful! So well appointed and in a perfect location for all the area has to offer. The neighborhood is blissfully quiet at night. The three outdoor decks are fantastic spots to dine, hang out with a book, or enjoy a glass of wine. We can't wait to go back!

Clean and spacious. Nicely furnished. Kitchen ware was lacking however with basics like more than 1 large pot unavailable which made meals challenging.

Perfect in every way!
We love staying here...this was our second visit and can’t wait to book another stay! The house is spacious and has everything you need. We enjoyed a visit to Old Town Truckee, walked trails at Alder Creek and along the Truckee River. We even got snowed in for 2 days! It was all wonderful. The neighborhood is quiet and the people and dogs are all friendly!

Great Fishing "Cabin"
This was my first experience with Vacasa rentals and I must say I was extremely pleased with not only the home itself but with the way in which it was appointed. Huge amount of outdoor/indoor space with sun on the decks in the mornings and cooling shade in the late afternoons. Television/WiFi worked flawlessly and the kitchen was also very well appointed with everything from wine glasses to pots and pans to a well equipped pantry to a 10 cup coffee maker (Vacasa should update their "In the Home" listing which indicates only a single cup coffee maker). There was even an extra full propane tank in the garage for the outdoor grill. The bedrooms were spacious and comfortable with big bathrooms (2 en-suite) all with walk in showers. The only downside to the trip was the slow fishing which was easily overlooked once we got back to the house for cocktails on the deck.
A great home which we will definitely rent again! Thank you.

Hi, Robert! The coffee maker has been replaced, and we have updated the home's notes to reflect this. Thank you!
This is a very comfortable house. It would be perfect for a family vacation. I would recommend staying for at least a week to cover the high cleaning and service fees.
Beautiful get away to the snow. 3 decks to play on for kids. Peaceful area with all the trees. Plenty of space for our family of 4 to play and roam in the home.

Great Mountain Getaway Home
My family and I had a great time doing a COVID getaway for a week. The house had plenty of space and great internet connection so that we could all do our work/distance learning. The location is awesome- downtown Truckee and Donner Lake are just a quick 10min drive. I highly recommend this home!

Met our needs and expectations
Had a lovely time at this Tahoe/Donner home. Location good for our 5 day stay in the area and layout was perfect for me to use the upstairs master bedroom and my son, his wife and 2 girls use the lower 3 bedrooms.
