comfortable, cozy, convenient
We took our teens during winter for some fun in the snow. The location is great: close to downtown Truckee and all that Tahoe Donner has to offer. The cabin is cozy and comfortable. Other reviewers have mentioned that it is dated, and some of the fixtures and furnishings may be a bit dated, but everything was operational, comfortable, and this is one of the more affordably priced rentals in the area. The owner is very responsive and super helpful, too. There are lots of games to play, comfortable beds, and a well-appointed kitchen. We enjoyed our stay and think this would be a great place to visit in the summer, too!

Fantastic Tahoe Donner Cabin
This cabin was lovely and had everything we needed to enjoy a winter holiday! Having the driveway cleared in the morning after a big snowfall was a wonderful surprise :). Love the dog-friendly option, Lola thought it was the best. The hosts were super responsive when we had questions.

Great stay in Tahoe Donner!
Our family of four enjoyed a wonderful stay in this comfortable, quiet mountain home. The location is perfect - just a short drive into Truckee and all the activities of Donner Lake. The kitchen was well stocked and there were plenty of towels. Amy was great to work with we hope to stay here again during our next visit to the Tahoe area!

Cozy cabin
We had a really nice stay at this cabin. The location is great — right in Tahoe Donner. The neighborhood is quiet and we had nice walks in the area. We came for spring skiing and had both snow and a few days of warm temps — glorious. We’ve stayed at a bunch of places in this area and this one was well-sized for our family of 4. The rustic feel is very typical and matches the mountain setting. The games available were fun and the WiFi signal was strong for working while away. The beds were comfortable and we had everything we needed.

Great house and great location
We had a great trip in winter. The house was perfect for our family. It was well stocked, warm, had everything we needed, and the location was perfect. We enjoyed the Tahoe Donner sno-play nearby, and liked being near shops and grocery stores in town. The owner was easy to reach when we had a question and check in was easy. We would definitely come again!

Amy was responsive and amazing to communicate with. Check in/out was simple and the cabin was well stocked with everything we needed to eat our meals in over the weekend as well as some snow shoes and sleds in the garage for playing in the snow. The neighborhood is beautiful and easy to access. The cabin isn’t fancy but it made time with 5 adults and 2 young grandkids relaxed and stress free. We will definitely be back.

We had a terrific week at Amy's house! The house is well suited for 4-6 people - very comfortable with well equipped kitchen, comfortable spots to relax both indoors and outdoors. The house is very convenient to fabulous hiking, biking, golf, rafting, etc. Truckee is a 10min drive and filled with nice shops, restaurants and bars. Amy is super responsive and helpful and very easy to work with. We hope to be back!

Everything was great and as listed. The only negative was that the house needed a little more attention in the cleaning process. Debris on the carpet, cobwebs throughout, and an unflushed toilet made me feel the cleaning deposit fee was more than we got out of it,

Great Summer Stay at TD
The house is everything we expected. So happy we found a dog friendly property that met all of our expectations as for our family week in Tahoe Donner. Amy was super quick on responding to any issues that came up. We had a wifi hiccup that was fixed in with in minutes of reaching out to Amy. We would definitely stay again in the future. If I could ask for one thing to bring us back the summer it would be a Gas Grill as there is a no charcoal policy in Tahoe during the fire season - obviously for good reason. We'll be hoping to come back in the winter. Thanks Amy!

About the host

Hosted by Amy Lerseth

Host profile image
Hi there! Our names are Amy and Brian. We live in Sacramento, California with our four young sons. Having grown up in Northern California we both love the Tahoe area and absolutely fell in love with Donner Lake and the Tahoe Donner community. Naturally, with four boys, we are an exceptionally active family and Tahoe Donner has something for every one of the boys in every season. We are thrilled to have been able to make this mountain cabin dream come true for our family. We're looking forward to sharing our little piece of paradise with you and hope you'll love it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

The cabin is located in lower Tahoe Donner, which makes it really close to all of the Tahoe Donner amenities (clubhouses, golf courses, pools, tennis courts, etc.) and also a short jaunt to Historic Downtown Truckee. In fact, there is a walking trail that starts just down the street from our cabin that leads directly to the heart of the restaurants and shops in Downtown Truckee. Our street is a loop and is therefore really quiet; on many days you'll see more people walking than driving.
