Green Gables, the perfect Truckee get away!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Green Gables. The check in and out process was simple and we had great communication with Peg. The house comfortably supported our three generations of family. Location is in the heart Tahoe Donner. Green Gables is definitely a four season home. Enjoy!

Clean and cozy in a wonderful location
The house was just what we needed for a weekend away with friends and kids in Tahoe. The house was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed, including anything we needed for cooking! Peg was incredibly kind and helpful whenever we had any questions. The location was right down the street from Tahoe Donner, a very quaint and family friendly ski area. We highly enjoyed our stay and loved sitting by the fireplace and chatting. We will definitely stay here again on our next trip to Tahoe.

Family friendly cabin perfect for all ages
We had a fantastic 4 night stay in Truckee thanks to Peg. The cabin was super comfortable and close to everything we needed in downtown Truckee and the surrounding area. The cabin was clean, well stocked, and Peg was a fantastic host- communicative, generous, and flexible allowing us to extend the rental by a few nights on short notice. We'd love to stay again in the future and hope our group (which included 11 month old twins and a 7 year old) can return in the future.

Great Tahoe Cabin for families with kids
Very nice cabin, fully stocked kitchen, all the toys for having fun. Ping pong table, great deck, access to all the Donner activities. Great host. Minuses: there is a nice wood burning chimney but the house has a smoke smell, if you mind that.

Cozy cabin close to Tahoe-Donner
We really enjoyed watching the snow fall and cozying up by the fireplace! The house has a nice layout for families and friends with plenty of space in the living room and dining room, and an enclosed loft sleeping space for the kids and three bedrooms downstairs. We enjoyed cooking meals in the well-stocked kitchen and the close proximity to Tahoe Donner ski resort as well as cross country and snowshoeing options. Would definitely stay here again!

Super Comfortable and Spacious
We absolutely loved this home. Everything about it was wonderful-from the fully stocked kitchen to the comfortable beds this rental feels like home. We have stayed in quite a few VRBO rentals, and this one stands out as one of the best. It’s rare to find a rental home that doesn’t feel like a rental.Our family of 5 had more than enough room and we were able to spread out when wanted, but we spent most of our time in the living room around the gorgeous fireplace. The fully stocked wood pile in the garage was a huge bonus, along with board games, a poker table, and blankets on every couch. We were able to sink in to the winter weather and just relax. The owner was attentive, thoughtful, and made staying at the home super easy. I highly Recommend this property.

Great house, great host!
House is as advertised and the host was lovely and incredibly responsive for all questions and inquiries we had. I'll add this here to follow the large check in book procedure so you don't get stuck looking dumb about why certain things aren't on or where they are at (it's all in the book lol). The loft in particular was lovely and great for kids. Kitchen was stocked with all the amenities you could need. Highly recommended

Perfect Lake Tahoe summer getaway
Everything we needed for multiple families to spend time together in Tahoe. Well appointed, spacious, and well located. Only suggestion is to anchor furniture and put child locks on window upstairs , it was hot and we couldn’t open it for safety reasons. Peg was great to communicate with and clear about her expectations. Would recommend!

A cozy hub for a family gathering
Our family of 5 stayed for 5 days, with visits from other family members throughout the time, so the size and layout of the house was perfect. Built puzzles, went for walks, played pingpong in the garage, cooked and baked a ton. It took a day to get the house up and running (adjusting hot water, and the heater took a day to get to comfortable temp) - too bad there wasn't snow for new years! The house clearly feels lived in which makes it feel like home. Lovely time!

A gem
What a wonderful home! Exactly as described, Green Gables was perfect for our getaway. The common area was big and cozy, the bedrooms were clean and well appointed, there was even a pack n play for our little one! And the kitchen was big enough for two families to gather and cook together. Peg was always available and couldn't have been sweeter to work with. We'll definitely look up Green Gables again the next time we head up to Truckee!
