Nice location across from Donner Lake - comfortable furnishings and it has everything you need. The decor is dated and the furnishings and carpets have clearly been well-loved over the years, but that adds to the cozy and very home-like vibe. Mary was also a great and responsive communicator.

A very comfortable cabin, super convenient to Sugar Bowl, and exactly as advertised. Mary was great host who truly went above and beyond for us on several dimensions. We delayed our arrival for a day due to the massive blizzard, and Mary let us extend our checkout by a few hours so we could fit in a quick ski the morning we left with our dog comfortably relaxing at the cabin. And when my son left his iPad under his pillow (sigh…), Mary let us know immediately and even arranged for her next guest, who lives relatively close to us, to bring it down the mountain so we could it up from him (also an amazing guy)!We truly enjoyed our first trip to Sugar Bowl and would definitely stay again.

Mary was a phenomenal host, always in touch for any questions and the property was outstanding. Very lovely place that was perfectly situated and near everything. I can't wait to come back and stay there again!
