Good location, easy check-in and check-out

Stayed with my wife and really just needed a place to sleep as we had family renting a larger home close by. This place did the trick and was a nice option to getting a hotel further away. Would recommend as the entire process was pretty easy.

Fantastic stay!!!

Five stars easily for this place! Great little getaway for two people - spacious, clean, perfect location for snowshoeing and cross-country skiing - it was everything we needed and more! Communication was great with the hosts and they even helped us with a few suggestions. Would not hesitate to recommend this place to friends and hope to come back ourselves.

Very Clean/attentive host/nice accommodations.

Once you've accepted the lack of kitchen sink and need to use washroom sink, the experience was very positive. Plenty of hot water. Bed comfy. Laura was very attentive to our needs. The muffins, chocolate, bananas and coffee were a very nice touch. Location was great for us, skiing at Sugar Bowl. Accessibility to Truckee and our family was great.

Perfect weekend getaway

If you're debating staying here, just do it! We stayed here over Labor day weekend and it was the perfect getaway. Wonderful hospitality (from chocolates to advice on nearby running trails), great space for relaxing, and the perfect location for hiking, mountain biking, and a short drive to Donner Lake. Beautiful view out back with a gas fire pit too! 10/10 would recommend and we already look forward to coming back.

Perfect, Cozy & Private getaway for 2

The cozy one bedroom, bathroom and living room area was perfect for the two of us. The tranquil view from the unit onto Alder Creek and forest was just perfect. It is obvious that our hosts take care in providing clean, safe and lovely accommodations.

Perfectly appointed

The cozy apartment was everything we needed and super convenient. No lugging gear through a hotel to store in a small hotel room. You can store your ski gear in the garage of the apartment which is accessed from the ground level driveway - easy! The place is quiet, the bed is comfortable, the water pressure is strong and the WiFi worked well. Also, you can walk to Tahoe Donner Cross Country. Laura was very responsive and helpful. Thank you for the lovely accommodation!

Beautiful high country retreat

The living arrangements were excellent and provided the exact experience we were looking for. We were surrounded by beautiful tall pine trees. Convenient location for access to the golf course, Truckee, Donner Lake and Lake Tahoe. Keith and Laura were great hosts and easily accessible. Highly recommend.

Really great stay. Plenty of space for the 2 of us. Muffins, fruit and chocolates provided which were nice touches. The unit is stylish and comfortable, decorated in sort of a modern antique style. There’s a short walking trail behind the house, frequented by deer. Easy drive to all north Tahoe and Truckee activities. Large garage space available for you to store your gear if needed, such as bikes or ski gear. Would definitely recommend staying here

Beautiful Cabin Getaway!

My boyfriend and I had the best three nights at Laura’s place. She truly thought of everything to make our stay as comfortable as possible. We had so much fun barbecuing, watching movies, going on hikes, and fishing by the lake. Would definitely recommend!

Close to Perfection; Read Overview Thoroughly

Everything that was described and shown in the photos was provided and functioned. Pros: Access to both downhill and Nordic areas of Tahoe Donner were fantastic. We appreciated the cleanliness of the rooms and the location. Owner was responsive. The bedroom is spacious and view from the living room is lovely. Our ski gear was stored in a secure garage!!! The wifi was stable and the TV with Firestick worked smoothly for streaming. Shower stream is good. Cons: A kitchen sink is not provided; you will wash dishes using the bathroom sink. Central heat is controlled upstairs. This means both owners and guests are likely breathing the same recirculated air so ask if it is a concern. Owners are gone most of the day so we were not greatly concerned. We tried massage chair; not comfy for sitting and had to step over cord. Prefer a regular chair. Would have appreciated a bigger table for jigsaw puzzle or games. Not a big deal; maybe they had a card table somewhere.

Perfect Weekend Getaway

Laura and Kevin were impeccable hosts. This was the perfect cozy cabin for 2. My SO and I just wanted some time away from the hustle and bustle of San Francisco, and this was everything we wanted and more! The surrounding area was also gorgeous, the “backyard” was full of trees and had a small brook - so serene to walk around. Also the location was convenient to pick up groceries, take out and fairly close to Northstar! Will definitely be back again.

Great Spot in Truckee

I thought the property was perfect for our needs. Laura was very helpful during the booking process and even sent us some reminders to bring chains in case the roads were covered in snow. The property matched the descriptions well and was comfortable.

Nice place to stay in Truckee

Apartment was very nice. Laura and Kevin were extremely accommodating and friendly. There is no actual kitchen which was the only downside, which we didn't realize and probably was our fault for overlooking. Nonetheless, it was a very pleasant place to stay for a long weekend.

About the host

Hosted by Laura Cuff

We relocated to Truckee from Southern California in 2015. We are now enjoying all that the Truckee/Lake Tahoe area has to offer. We both work full time in Truckee. Skiing and Boating are our favorite things to do and this area is just that! We hope you will consider staying in our apartment and look forward to meeting you!

Why they chose this property

Our apartment is perfect for two people looking for a getaway. We give you as much privacy as you need. We do live full time in the upstairs portion of the home. We are very quiet, but you may hear light footsteps when we are home. There is a deck off the apartment with a beautiful view of the meadow. Sit and enjoy your morning coffee or a glass of wine in the evening. You may see deer while sitting out here which is always an amazing sight! You will have a private entrance through the garage which is not a grand entrance but as soon as you enter the apartment you will love the space. Parking is on the driveway which is flat and easily accessible. If you are visiting during the winter you will need chains or a 4wheel drive. Our roads around the house are plowed early.

What makes this property unique

So many things to do here in Truckee! See the amenities when you Google "things to do in Truckee" for other activities in the area. Tahoe Donner is one of the largest homeowners association in the United States with over 6000 owners. Ski Northstar, Squaw Valley, Alpine Meadows, Sugar Bowl and Boreal which are all close by. Tahoe Donner Cross Country Center is two blocks from the house and is a world-class cross-country area. Donner lake is 10 minutes away. Lake Tahoe is 25 minutes and a beautiful drive.
