Relaxing and Spotless Home

We very much enjoyed our stay at Tahoe Donner. It was close to everything we wanted and needed. The home was very clean and organized. The rental company was extremely helpful and responsive to our questions and concerns. The check in and check out process was easy. There were a couple of things that we wish we had known prior to staying there, but nothing that would impact this review. Overall it was a very nice place to stay and I would recommend it.

Beautiful Cabin in the Woods

We have stayed here twice now. It's a great location that is quiet but not too far from the Truckee scene. It is nice to have a bathroom for each bedroom to allow for personal space. We love the homey feeling of the cabin and hope to return soon!

Wonderful Cabin So cozy!

This is one of my favorite cabins to stay at. Well furnished, clean and comfortable. The back deck is so peaceful. When you are relaxing on the deck, you feel like you are in the middle of the forest as there are no cabins directly behind you. We saw a Black bear and her two cubs walk by, as well as chipmunks, squirrels and deer. Tahoe Getaways was easy to work with. Highly recommend this cabin.

Comfy Home in Tahoe Donner

My husband and I hosted his daughter and her family (2 young kids) at this nice house last weekend. Kitchen is well-appointed, comfortable living room is nicely furnished, and the lovely deck in back boasts a clean, hot hot tub, as well as a bbq, sitting and dining space. Beyond the deck is open space that was fun for kids to explore. Two demerits for uncomfortable mattresses/pillows, and the absence of beach towels. Also disappointed to learn the Tahoe Donner recreation hut wasn't open until later in June, so many of the amenities we hoped to enjoy were unavailable. Donner Lakefront was delightful—not crowded and clean!

Family Birthday Celebration

This is a wonderful cabin situated in just the right spot; not too far from main roads but far enough to feel away from the hustle and bustle. Our group consisted of 3 couples and we were very comfortable within the space. Something we were all impressed with was the amount of entertaining pieces throughout the kitchen and dining room. It's as if the cabin owners thought of everything most people would want to have for serving meals, preparing drinks, etc. There is also plenty of information throughout the home, and provided beforehand, making a stay hassle-free. The wooded view looking out of the back of the home is stunning and I can only imagine how enjoyable the deck is during warmer months. We'll just have to go back and find out!

Ski Retreat

Lodgepole was a wonderfully comfortable ski lodge that allowed a group of friends to reconnect. There is no feeling like sitting by the fire or in the hottub after a day on the slopes Would love to come back to this property again!

GOT SNOW?!?! We had enough for a lifetime!

Our family had an incredible time and enough snow for a lifetime! After we got in town, which was about four hours before the historic snow storm Orzelle hit, we saw constant heavy snow fall for 5 days and almost constant blizzard conditions with snow totals of seven plus feet. There was so much snow during our stay that we could not even see out of the family room/kitchen doors! We literally had a snow wall that we formed around the hot tub and made a small trail out of one of the doors on to the deck to get to the hot tub. It was crazy, but we loved every minute of it! The home was so cozy, clean, the hot tub was fantastic, and we were able to make wonderful memories as a family. The only one issue that we had was that we could have used one of the two snowblowers to enable ourselves to leave the home at our will. We had to wait for the plow to come or we even had to shovel ourselves out one morning to get to Northstar to ski. We don't mind shoveling, but with the incredible amount of snow we received (which was in feet), one of the two snowblowers should have been working and definitely would of been a huge help! My husband tried for over an hour with the neighbor next door to get one of them running with no success. So, the gas we purchased before trying to get them started ended up not getting used. Other than that inconvenience, we loved our accommodations and will always remember our stay in Truckee at Lodgepole.

Guy's Ski Trip

This is a beautiful, spacious house perfect for three singles or three couples. The kitchen was well appointed and the LR was perfect for Super Bowl viewing. Like many houses with cathedral ceilings the room temperatures can vacillate. Be careful how you park when the driveway is snowy/icy, as our car slid 15 feet down the driveway. Parking parallel to the house seemed to solve that.

Upon arrival the main floor bathroom was not clean & the kitchen/dining room floors were not clean. Called the property manager to correct the situation. It took 4 phone calls and 3 days before the cleaners came out to finish the cleaning. Other than the above, the location, house, were good. The kitchen was wel equipped. back deck was nice and it was nice to be able to use the garage.

This was the first time staying in a cabin & let me tell you this place had set the bar extremely high! Me & 4 other girls stayed here & celebrated a bday & anniversary. What a beautiful place to celebrate both of these. Thank you so much for making our first girls cabin trip an amazing one. Such a beautiful cabin, amazing views, very well kept & fully stocked. We treated it as if it was our own. We will definitely be coming back here in the future!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the stay. Nice house. We were frustrated with how hard it was to open the hot tub, that the fire pit didn't work and the lack of basic kitchen essentials (salt, pepper, oil, etc.)

Wonderful Home

The Lodgepole Retreat at Tahoe is a perfect rental for three couples, as each get a king bed and a private bathroom. Great lounging space in the living area in front of a gas fireplace that feels absolutely wonderful after a day of skiing. The hot tub being only three steps away from the back door is another huge plus. The Lodgepole Retreat is only minutes from town and less than 30 minutes from two world class ski mountains, which also make this rental a great option when looking for a place to stay near Lake Tahoe.

Perfect home

Selected this home for our annual girls trip and it was perfect for us! The setting is beautiful and we enjoyed the nice deck where we could talk and enjoy the wildlife. Great seating areas inside and outside and the kitchen was nicely appointed. We appreciated the king beds rather than queens! Also enjoyed working with the Tahoe Getaways team - they were very helpful with the planning process and quick to respond to any questions. Thank you for a wonderful experience and great memories!

Family Vacation Lake Tahoe

We loved everything about this home for our family, EXCEPT the issues with the internet. The TV's and everything in the house is based upon the internet and it kept going in and out. You could not have multiple units on the internet either as it would slow everything down or disconnect completely. The pictures are exactly as it looks and it is furnished with everything you need. The location is perfect to both Tahoe Donner amenities and downtown Truckee which was amazing as well.
