Some things to note:
There are five different levels throughout the cabin and the first living space is up a full flight of stairs. Due to the number of stairs, this cabin is not recommended for guests with limited mobility or very young children unless closely supervised.

The property includes two parking spaces in the garage and two spaces in the driveway. Street parking is not allowed year-round for rentals in this area and may result in towing and/or fines.

Severe weather is a possibility in the winter. We highly recommend purchasing travel insurance to protect against unexpected events. Chains or 4WD/AWD vehicles with snow tires may also be required during winter months.

We work with a snow removal service to remove snow from the decks. They may need to access the cabin to get to the decks between the hours of 10am-5pm to clear snow after a storm. We will let you know ahead of time if and when they will need access.

The grill, firepit, and outdoor furniture are seasonal and may not be available during the winter months.

Up to two dogs are welcome with a $100 pet fee per stay.

Please note that like most homes in the Truckee area, our cabin does not have A/C.

Our stay was magical! This has been one of our best rental experiences. We spend Christmas in Truckee with extended family every year. This home was able to accommodate all of us, including my sister-in-law’s dog. The common areas spacious and comfortable and we all had private quarters to retreat into. I’ve never been in a place with so many amenities provided. And there was even a Christmas tree with all sorts of Christmas decorations. We had the most amazing stay and would love to return. Our daughters were so sad to leave today. This stay was absolutely amazing.

We recently stayed at this beautiful Donner home, and it truly exceeded all of our expectations. Since it was a new listing with no reviews, we took a bit of a chance but we’re so glad we did! The photos don’t do it justice, this home is even more lovely in person.The layout was perfect for our two families, with plenty of space for everyone to relax and enjoy. The beds were very comfortable, and the entire house was spotless. Every little detail was thought of air fresheners, coffee and filters, well-stocked kitchen utensils, and more. It really felt like a home away from home.The location couldn’t be better, with easy access to Donner Lake and all of Truckee’s wonderful amenities. We absolutely loved our stay and will definitely be back!
