The host was amazing and backed up to a perfect hill to go sledding. We loved the heated floors, jacuzzi, and the retro arcade game. Perfect house for a family weekend.

Very nice cabin. Is close to skiing at Tahoe Donner.
8 / 10Excellent·Aug 2024
The place was really clean. Communication with the property manager was excellent! Only down side was showers are small. Also, the cabin does not have high ceilings so it seems smaller and darker than picture. Overall, great stay!
6 / 10Average·Jan 2023
We spent the weekend in this cabin. The property management company has been responsive and good overall. We found the place a bit over-rated though (kitchen pans are really worn out, the place was not super clean - we found an Oreo next to the couch and they had a LOT of trash in the garage from at least 2 weeks ago). For people who may be interested, it is advertised as a 2-car garage but only one garage door works. Finally, it is said there is an EV level 2 charger, however it is for a Tesla (and Tesla has its own connector). We have a volvo which uses the standard worldwide connector, and thus we could not charge.
