Had an enjoyable stay here with my family and dog in the winter. Good location, quick shot to downtown Truckee and local ski slopes, as well as nice neighborhood with snow lined trees and low traffic streets - great for dog walking. House is well suited for the snow, not many steps, covered walkway from car. Inside has plenty of amenities, warm fireplace, and a master suite separated from the other bedrooms. Hot tub was nice too. Host was responsive and price was good.
Great family vacation! Hot tub was great. Kitchen was great. Lots of useful kitchen amenities such as pots pans, coffee maker, toaster, etc. 30 minutes to sugar bowl and Northstar.
The cabin was perfect for our family. Great location and the hot tub was amazing. Lars was very accommodating, helpful, and responsive. Highly recommended.
Everything we needed for a good home base while skiing. Comfy beds, nice linens, clean bathrooms, well-stocked kitchen. Interesting art on the walls, books and games, cozy fireplace, hot tub for star gazing from after a day out on the mountain. Simple, clean, and driveway was cleared early each morning by a snow blowing company. Thanks Lars!
My family and I stayed in this house for 6 days after Christmas and over New Year. We were very comfortable and warm - hot showers, great fire in the lounge and general heating. The kitchen was well stocked and the garage was empty for us to park our car (very helpful as a lot of snow came down!)
We would love to return 😊
We had a lovely time staying at this charming clean cabin. The host was clear and responsive to our questions and helped us settle into the cabin quickly. Their gas fireplace was cozy, the beds and couches were comfortable, and their private outdoor hot tub was the icing on the cake. Although we didn’t cook, the kitchen had everything you’d need. The location is close to a supermarket, alot of restaurants, and Truckee’s downtown. The host allowed us to a lot of their snow toys/equipment which entertained our children and we had good family bonding time playing with their well stocked assortment of board games. We had a great stay and would highly recommend!

Lost in Nature
The forest as your backyard, what more could you want? Lars' place was so quiet, peaceful, and had everything we could ask for. There's lots of room inside, has a very cozy feel, and the BBQ is amazing (best I've ever used), which helped since we grilled every night we were there. We stayed in the summer and it was an easy drive to Lake Tahoe, or any of the places to see, would love to stay again.
I had recently stayed at the Tahoe Donner house with families and a dog for the our last summer getaway. The house of location is close to Truckee downtown, Donner lake and Donner Pass where I usually take kids for swimming and hiking. A outdoor hot tube right in front of the front door and faced out to open back yard was perfect for afternoon relaxation. My 17yr old dog loved the open pathway directly connecting from the it backyard, we walked almost 1miles twice a day, I did not mind going out with my pajamas, it feels like l own the whole open space 😆.
There are so much good thing about the house, of course fully equipped kitchen, many many linens &towels available , comfortable beds and board games for kids. I will looking for coming back next summer, maybe this winter.

Great house and host
The house was great and so was the owner-Lars. We were surrounded by a wall of snow so we didn't see the grounds outside of the house but the pathway to get in and out of the house was clean and so was the path to the hot tub. We had an issue with the internet connection and once we contacted Lars he quickly tried to fix it. The kitchen was beautiful and included what seemed like a brand new stovetop. I was there with my husband, mom and 3 month old and there was plenty of space for us. I'd stay again if I were to go back up to Truckee.

Not terrible but not fantastic
My husband and I stayed in this cabin for our anniversary, the location was excellent and the home was clean other than a couple huge spiders in the showers. The hot tub was great once we were able to heat it up from eco mode. I was disappointed in the lack of patio furniture and the teeny BBQ, we had to cook our corn and steaks separately, but the kitchen is fabulous!!! Very nice oven and plenty of dishes and amenities. The Best part was the kitchen-the worst was the mattresses. My husband said plywood would have been more comfortable, bring a mattress topper if you want a cozy sleep. The owner was very kind and responded quickly with info or answers.
This house was great. The kitchen flowed very nicely, the bed upstairs was very comfortable, heating was powerful, the fireplace was very easy to use, and the hot tub was probably the cleanest I've ever been in! Fantastic pick for a family with small children as they had step stools and other random things for you to use.
The reason for the 4 stars rather than 5 is because the cleanliness of the house wasn't the best. There was moldy mayo and salad dressing in the fridge and quite a lot of spiders. Additionally, the lock on their sliding door is missing altogether. This was concerning to us, from a safety standpoint, but given how safe the neighborhood is, we really didn't have any issues. It was more of a mental thing that we worried about.
Would def stay here again, we appreciate you hosting us!
Great value for money and just as advertised (apart from a change of bed in the downstairs bedroom - from single-over-full bunk beds to a full bed, which was a little tricky for us as we required four separate beds so our three kids wouldn’t have to share, but with extra mattresses available and the help of the owner, we navigated this so it didn’t cause too much trouble). Overall, the rental was spacious and comfortable for my family of five with some modern touches and amenities added to the traditional rustic decor.
It was our first time in the Tahoe Donner neighborhood and we loved the proximity to Truckee and Woodward and the accessibility to the private beach and pools with the guest passes available - although the additional per person charges do add up for a larger group! The owner was very responsive to any questions and queries and the only real issue we had was the heat at the time of our stay. The downstairs bedrooms were fine but the upstairs was uncomfortably hot even with two fans going constantly. A couple more fans in the home might be advisable for future hot weather.
On the whole, it’s a lovely quiet neighborhood - although there’s not much privacy out the back deck and in the hot tub when the nextdoor neighbors are out on their deck in the evening and at at weekends. We did really enjoy our stay though and recommend this rental.
Spacious for our small family of 4. Nice kitchen to cook in. Enjoyed the fireplace. Could have used another easy chair, and better lighting. We would return.
We loved our stay here in Tahoe Donner! We went to the private beach club and had a great time. The beds were super comfortable with new linens. Lars was super accommodating; highly recommend!
This place was perfect for a weekend getaway with some friends. The kitchen had everything you needed to make meals at home and enjoy the lovely cabin and hot tub after a long day of skiing. The location is also perfect for skiing at palisades and enjoying downtown Truckee. The master bedroom bed was particularly comfortable. Would highly recommend!
