Set amid the tranquil pines in lower Tahoe Donner, our beautifully remodeled 4BR/3BA home promises a relaxing retreat. Soaring ceilings, stylish alpine decor with lots of natural light fill the home with warmth.

Play a round of pool or darts in the family game room or sit on the back deck and play a game of life-size Jenga, or just relax and enjoy the peaceful views. With 3 bedrooms upstairs and a large bunk room downstairs, our home can accommodate up to 3 families comfortably.

Upstairs, the great room which includes the living room, dining room and kitchen is the social heart of the home. Vaulted ceiling, big windows and a wood burning stove create a welcoming vibe, while a large sectional sofa provides a comfortable spot to watch your favorite shows on the 55" TV.

Approximately 150 yards down the street is a trail-head to access the recently renovated 1 and 1/2 mile Nature Loop Trail.

If dining out, drive just 3 minutes to either The Lodge Restaurant & Pub for a bistro-style menu in a classic lodge setting or go to Pizza on the Hill offers dinner alongside an interactive playroom complete with foosball, shuffleboard and other games.

Nordic HS team

9 of us stayed at the house. It was lovely: clean, spacious, lots of extra linen, lots of kitchen supplies. The teenagers loved the rec area with pool table and darts. The bunk room was perfect for the teens. Dave was very responsive and we were very well informed. Would definitely recommend this home. Thanks Dave!

Wonderful getaway!

We has a great stay at this house! The pictures don't do it justice. The design of the home is very Tahoe and whimsical! The layout is great for traveling with teens. Huge bunk room, a playstation, two TVs, dart board and a pool table all on the lower level and a spacious open concept kitchen, dining and living room (with 3 bedrooms) on the upper level. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed and the check in and out was a breeze. Dave was very communicative and super helpful with any questions I had. We will definitely be going back and I would recommend this house!

Perfect Place for Kids

We loved this place! We had 14 people, the majority who were small children. The bunk room was perfect for them. This house had everything we needed! I do a cookies with the kids day every year where I host my nieces and nephews to make cookies while parents can do some running around. This year I decided to do something special and host them overnight and Dave’s place rocked. Getting in and out was easy. Directions are clear. Everything was easy to follow. Dave was especially kind when my sister in law realized she left her wedding rings on the nightstand. He alerted the cleaning company and put me in direct contact. I was able to meet up with the company owner the next day to retrieve the rings. We used the association passes provided to go up to road to the sno park where we got discounted guest rates with the passes and had a blast! I would definitely stay here again. All of the household amenities made our stay extra easy and comfortable.

Thanksgiving week

Three generations of our family stayed here. The house was perfect for our stay. The downstairs was perfect for our teenagers age 14-18. The house is in a quiet neighborhood with lovely walks nearby. We had a little snow and enjoyed the warm fireplace. This house is well stocked with everything you need. The beds were fantastic. The owner responded within minutes to any questions I had. We will definitely stay here again.

Great communication for the most part.

Overall, we were really happy with our accommodations. Dave was very responsive and answered questions quickly. During the check-in process, the access door to the garage, which we were given the code for, was locked. The code for the deadbolt worked, but the keyed door, itself, was locked, so we couldn't gain access. After a few of us made multiple calls, we finally got in contact with Dave and got in through the garage door. The rest of the vacation was great, other than minor issues like only 2 rolls of toilet paper in the 2 bathrooms which had to last 3 nights with 8 of us in the house. After all was said and done, we still really enjoyed our stay and would like to come back next year for our annual golf tournament again.

Great floorplan for extended family

We loved our stay here. The floorplan made it possible for us to have a 'quiet' floor and a floor for fun and games. The best equipped kitchen I've ever experienced in a rental, and best game room too. Necessary to bring shampoos and soap and extra toilet paper, but very well worth it. We will definitely be back.

This was our 4th stay at Dave’s cabin. We absolutely love the fully stocked home, updated appliances, and game room. Cabin is located less than 5 miles from Donner Lake and a short drive to Lake Tahoe, the Truckee River and hiking trails a few house away. We love staying at Dave’s place.

Amazing Cabin

This is a beautiful cabin. It was perfect for us. It was clean and spacious. We loved the kitchen, the multiple bathrooms and bedrooms. We ate dinner every night outside. My son loved the games room. It was a pretty quiet neighborhood and close to everything in Truckee. I appreciated the owners communicating all the details in advance, including a tip on a great hiking trail down the street - thanks! We'd stay here again.
