This house was perfect for 3 couples and an infant. It was even bigger than we expected based on the photos. Great neighborhood in Truckee, and we had a blast cross country skiing nearby! Thanks for a wonderful weekend stay.

Amazing stay!
Could not recommend enough! Home was beautiful, very spacious with many areas to relax, with a very well appointed kitchen that made cooking easy. Location was fantastic, close to everything in Tahoe Donner (mountain biking, hiking trails, local pizza place and market) and a short drive from Truckee. A perfect place to enjoy the outdoors and wish we could have stayed longer!

Excellent property and great location
We stayed at Matterhorn with our family and quite enjoyed our stay!
The property is easily accessible and close to Truckee downtown. If you plan skiing at Donner Hill, you can't beat this location.
The house itself is very well-designed, furnished, and decorated. Our family had a great time at the property. We will definitely stay again.

Great home for family summer vacation. We enjoyed proximity to golf, lake, and swimming facility. The house is spacious and in great condition. Only regret is we wish we could have stayed longer.

This was a great stay, the house was amazing, and the hosts clearly thought through what a family vacation would need, to the point of having a bunch of board/family games available. It just felt like we were hosted by friends and family and not by a "landlord", really enjoyed it and will surely be coming back. Thank you.

Vacation
This is the second year we stayed at the same home and it was excellent. We had a few issues that were resolved quickly and Chris assisted us in person with one of them. Planning and looking forward the next year with the family Lord willing.

Overall was a good stay. A pitty that the Hot tub did not work. And also There are some leaks in the top floor.
Besides that is mostly as described and the customer support was responsive and helped us recover a cell phone we forgot

Water does not drain well. Large house, but the HVAC is not balanced well. HOA and Hot tub were marketed to us, but were not available.

Response from VrboOwner on 27 February 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that aspects of your stay did not meet expectations.
We appreciate you bringing the drainage and HVAC balance issues to our attention. These are items that can and should be addressed, and we will have our maintenance team evaluate both to ensure they are properly resolved for future guests.
Regarding the HOA amenities and hot tub, we sincerely apologize for any confusion. Unfortunately, your stay was during the blackout period for the HOA.
We value your feedback as it helps us improve, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a better experience in the future.
There are so many wonderful aspects to this property. Lots of light, great location, spacious great room area, sun on deck, large kitchen. Unfortunately there were just too many items in need of repair. We provided a list to the owner. The most disturbing is when more than once the mirrored doors in the guest bedroom fell on our guests. Should they decide to give this property the attention it needs we would stay again.

Good but…
The property was mostly as advertised, which was good. The spaces are very very large, which is, depending on what you want either gracious or cavernous. IMHO, it feels neglected and a bit desolate. Also, there were some problems: two windows had been broken by snow and were covered in plastic (cold air!) and one bedroom was catching drips in a bucket. One of the broken windows was over the jacuzzi in the primary bedroom which made it unusable. Also the floor in the primary bathroom was shockingly cold. The gas fireplace in the primary bedroom didn’t work and the screen above it had been removed leaving wires and brackets dangling. Last, the hot tub did work but we had to guess about the controls because the display on the control screen was broken.

Thank you so much for your feedback. This past winter was brutal with the amount of snow we got in Truckee. We have been working on fixing up the damages in the house.

Perfect Place for a Ski Weekend
What a wonderful house, perfect for our spring ski weekend. Lots of space (more than we needed!) and the house had everything we needed. We took advantage of the hot tub too! thank you!

We loved our stay! Terrific location, a great hot tub, lots of space for our family and another family and children. Our only issue was a lack of towels-- there were no wash clothes and only 6 bath towels. With folks hot tubbing and showering after outdoor activities, we ended up needing to constantly put them in the dryer and had to wash them. Also, if you plan to cook in at the house, bring all your supplies. Some houses have staples like salt, oil, pepper, some spices, but you'll need to bring your own (except salt-- we ended up buying a container and left what we didn't use!)

We're happy to hear you enjoyed your stay! Due to COVID-19 we are notallowed to supply spices, bur were glad you were able to get some with-in the area so you had all that you needed! We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Wonderful location and a great house for entertaining and having fun family time. Highly recommended. The kitchen and bathrooms were not totally clean when we arrived, which meant we had to do some cleaning, but overall it was a good experience.

Absolutely amazing property and location!!
This property is absolutely beautiful, well equipped and what was our most important criteria, SPARKLING clean!! It is located, literally, in walking distance to Donner Ski resort, in a beautiful neighborhood! The house itself has spectacular high ceiling, a great layout downstairs with two separate gathering areas, a big high resolution screen for family movie nights and if kids want to watch something of their own, there is another equally huge TV screen in the kid's room upstairs where they can rule :) !!
The upstairs bedrooms are very comfortable and the special kid's room has also a well equipped office! The masterpiece of them all of course is the grand master bedroom downstairs that has it's own king size bathroom with shower and spa tub and the fireplace that is just the cherry on the cake!
The kitchen is gorgeous, with all the essentials and high end appliances. Due to the pandemic there were no spices, condiments or anything perishable! We knew ahead of time and brought along everything we needed for our cooking!
Of course the outdoor hot tub in the winter chill was something we LOVED!
This property exceeded our expectations and was a beautiful place to have a peaceful family vacation! Our party was our family of 4 only, but this house can easily accommodate a much bigger group! So happy with this find and will definitely come back!

Best stay in the Tahoe area ever!
The house was gorgeous, spacious, and so family friendly. I enjoyed cooking in the spacious kitchen, the large dining room table and the spacious seating. The hot tub was wonderful after a long day in the snow. Four bedrooms and three full bathrooms make this house a place of ease and comfort. Couldn't recommend it more; we will definitely be booking this house again!!!

Great Tahoe Donner cabin
The Matterhorn is a great Tahoe Donner cabin. Things we loved:
* Big place, spacious, comfortable
* Very modern amenities such as a Nest thermostat, TV with Tivo + Apple TV + Nintendo Switch, very nice plates/dishes/etc.
* Loved the location as we were there to take kids to Donner Ski Ranch - literally 3 minutes away
Not too many negatives. I don't think there is a garage door clicker (or at least, I couldn't find it) which was a little bit annoying for coming/going. And there is no good sled hill in the backyard area.
But those are nitpicks: it is a great place.
