This place feels like home. The mgmt/owners have gone to great lengths to ensure our stay was comfortable. Lots of attention to detail - from entertainment, games, plenty of cookware, firewood at the ready, the on-site manager. We had a great stay! Thank you!!! See you next year 🤞🏽😄
One of the BEST stays I've ever had!! Above & Beyond Host! A+++
The cabin itself was located in a quiet neighborhood right off the freeway in Soda Springs and had access to a local market which was a quick 5-min. walk away. Drive to Lake Tahoe is about 25-30mins. to Eagle Rock Trail/Tahoe City, which was actually quick & easy to get to! We found ourselves cozied up to the fireplace in the center, entrenched by the high ceilings and open windows with natural light and plenty of space for lounging. Loved how the home was super comfy, from the large couch in the living area and it came with pretty much all the essentials for cooking, games and also an entertainment center. We enjoyed the loft and how it overlooked the entire bottom floor. Bathrooms and bedrooms were quite impressive as it was fully stocked with essentials, down to the super cozy duvet covers & linens.
First off, our gracious host Caroline really made my first Vrbo experience such a delight!! From the very beginning she was quick to respond, had such attention to detail, very communicative and friendly in our exchange of messages. :) She was very understanding and flexible about our stay if any changes were needed while the fires were happening (fortunately, the smoke and air cleared by the time of our stay mid-October). Most importantly, Caroline went above and beyond to make sure we had leisure time to check out and also was so kind to mail back an item one of our guests left behind. Really appreciated her quick turnaround time and personal touch all the way through! I would rate our stay an 11/10!! My guests and I had a lovely stay along with 2 pups and hope to come back again to visit.
Property owner was super responsive and accommodating and the spot was very clean! Beds were very comfortable and we loved having an indoor fireplace. Kitchen is well stocked so no worries there if you are cooking for a group, they have all the tools.
Caroline is an amazing host! Super communicative and kind. My now fiancé and I wanted to celebrate our engagement with a group of friends and this was the only place we could find that was accommodating. The place has an amazingly equipped kitchen and the sleeping situation was very comfortable. The access to the outdoors is awesome as well!!! Absolutely would stay here again!
This property was wonderful! We had a wedding at Sugar Bowl and this home was a perfect place for our family to gather and enjoy each other. It was a short distance to the wedding. The home was well stocked with all kinds of cooking supplies and paper goods. The host was wonderful. We will definitely consider this home in the future!
Caroline's property was very clean and very well appointed. There really wasn't anything that we needed (and there were lots of us) that wasn't there. We had a great time!
Plenty of room. Nice fireplace for heat. Lots and lots of snow, as it near the peak. Allowed dogs (which was deciding factor for us).
About the host
Hosted by Caroline Dickinson
We are professionals living in the Bay Area with our 4 teenagers. I am an ER Nurse and Adam works in biotech. We love spending time with our family and escaping to Tahoe year round whenever we are able to! We are continuously improving our mountain home to provide amenities and comforts that we enjoy, and we love being able to share our home with with guests who can enjoy them too! We love hearing about how much fun our guests have during their stays, not only at the house but also at all the beautiful destinations Tahoe has to offer!
Why they chose this property
Donner Summit/Soda Springs is a special place year round. The snowfall over the winters is incredible, with the elevation often allowing for snow even when lower elevations are getting rain. The neighborhood still has an old time feel, with one gas station and the General Store (around the corner from the house) which sells plenty of supplies, eliminating the need to drive to Truckee if you're missing that one ingredient you may have forgotten for your dinner! The house is close to so many activities with virtually no traffic (except for those rare blue bird powder days!) so you don't waste your precious vacation time sitting in long lines of cars. Within minutes you can access Sugarbowl, Donner Ski Ranch, Soda Springs Mountain Resort, Boreal Mountain Resort and Woodward (mountain biking, trampoline, etc), and Kingvale Resort (tubing and sledding). Furthermore, Donner Summit is the closest location in Tahoe to the Bay Area, shaving a ton of time off your drive there and back! Once up there, you can reach Donner Lake and Truckee in usually less than 15 minutes, and Lake Tahoe (Kings Beach or Tahoe City) in 30-40 minutes. It's a win!
What makes this property unique
Guests always comment on how spacious our home is, and it's true! 4 roomy bedrooms furnished with 9 beds of varying sizes and large closets provide space for the multiple families or large groups of friends. The great room is an awesome hangout space for everyone, with and open layout so the cooks are not separated from everyone else! A huge comfy sectional lines the living area, and a 65" TV on an articulating arm can be viewed easily from much of the space. Our wood burning stove cranks out serious heat, keeping everyone warm and cozy even on the coldest of winter nights.
Our dining table can seat at 8-10 people, plus we have the bar with 2 stools, and a folding table and 4 folding chairs under the stairs for extra large groups, or if you need to set up a table outside on summer BBQ days. This past fall we spruced up the house with fresh exterior stain, new flooring, a foosball table, and a generator that will power the entire house during those pesky power outages. Finally, what guests enjoy the most, we added a brand new hot tub, which feels amazing to soak in after a long day of outdoor activities! We provide fresh water and a clean tub for every group. Our property is truly a home away from home, well stocked with supplies so you just have to bring yourselves, your food, your luggage, and your toys! If you have any questions about specific supplies, just message us and we'll respond asap!
