This is a great place to be to explore the Donner Pass, Truckee, and Tahoe área. We were there for a weekend wedding, but we wish we could have stayed a week to explore. It’s quiet and secluded and feels like home. Our trip was a summer trip, but we all sat on the main floor after coming back for the night and talked about how perfect this place would be in the winter with a fire going in the wood stove. We kinda all fell in love with the house…..wife and kids loved the heated bathroom floors.

We had a wonderful time at the cabin - it had everything we needed for our relaxing family getaway. The wood burning stove was a nice feature to have while we played board games. It was a good location for us as we visited Donner Lake and Truckee.

Outstanding Rental

Everything listed about this property is accurate. It is a beautiful comfortable home and is located in a wonderful forest environment. My family enjoyed our stay very much. We found the home to be centrally located for all of the activities we planned. Richard is an outstanding host; he was easily accessible and answered any/all of our questions. I highly recommend this rental property.

Gold country locals

My wife and I came for our anniversary from just an hour from our house. When we walked in we saw the attention to detail very clean and modern with the classic cabin feel. We listened to music, a nice fire in the wood stove with wine while we cooked. Very relaxing to say the least. We are planning our next stay here to bring our 2 kids already, the kids would have a great time in the loft. We highly recommend.
Response from VrboOwner on 17 September 2023
Thank you for the great review! We take great pride in privoviding a fully stocked, comfortable house that is suitable for couples or families. Kids always enjoy the loft where they get the birds eye view on happenings in the house! Please bring them back for a nice weekend anytime. We would love to have you! Richard

Cozy Home

Over the years, this area has had a number of new houses built, traffic has become heavier. The environment now feels residential rather than serene. But the house itself is lovely, with modern amenity.

Close to Boreal

We stayed Aug 2023. The house is close to Boreal--very convenient bc my son had skate camp at Woodward. About 25 min to Truckee for groceries/restaurants. House was perfect for us--the kitchen was well-stocked for cooking. Road noise was nonexistent with the doors/windows closed. Could occ hear the distant trains, but it wasn't loud. I saw homes in Truckee much closer to tracks. Richard was very good at communicating. FYI: Two queen beds were VERY high--i'm 5'2" and the bed was more than waist-high. i had to jump into bed or grab the headboard to climb into bed. ha! There is a step stool to assist. There is one bedroom with normal height beds--a twin and a full.

Christmas Family Fun

From check in to check out everything was perfect. The owners were quick to respond to questions and provided helpful and insightful recommendations for places to visit and eat. The home is extremely spacious and was perfect for our family of 5 (which included 2 teenagers!). The kitchen had everything needed to cook a great family meal. Can’t wait to return next year.

Perfect Family Getaway

This house was perfect for my family and I, great place to relax and enjoy Mother Nature around you by taking beautiful walks and hikes near by. There’s only 2 TVs (one in the second floor and a smaller one inside the room with the king size bed) and the WiFi was slow during our stay but to us it wasn’t an issue because we came with plans of staying off our electronics and spending our time together as a family but if you have older kids who want to spend their times on video games or watching tv this may be not work out for them. We had no problems during our stay and the home owner was very nice and has excellent communication skills and sends all the information you’ll need before your trip.

Wonderful House

We rented this house and loved it.. Everything was wonderful from the furniture to the artwork, the kitchen is stocked very well. The owner contacted us during our stay to make sure everything was ok, which I think was very nice. You really feel as if your in a friends home and not a rental home. We will be repeat renters for sure!

We really enjoy this property for our family vacation. Tasteful decoration, clean, fun house for the kids and everything you would want and need is in this cabin. We are definitely coming back and referring my family and friends to this cabin. Also most important Landlords of this cabin are extremely nice, professional and caring people.

Attention to Detail!!

We stayed in this cabin for a wedding weekend at Cisco Grove. It was spacious and comprtable and perfect for my elderly parents because it had a first floor master and only a few steps to get into the cabin. Plenty of room upstairs to sleep and hang out. We did not have to use the sleeping loft but it would be really nice if you have multiple families with lots of kids. Everything you would every want or need is in this cabin. We really loved our stay!

Perfect Family Getaway

We stayed in this home with a family of eight for a destination wedding at the Sugar Bowl Resort. We were a short drive away from the resort, yet secluded enough to enjoy the beautiful setting and quietness of the mountains. My twin 7 year old daughters and 4 year old son loved the card and board games and loft space. The house is spacious yet cozy - we LOVED the fireplace downstairs. All of the amenities were excellent - it really felt like a home away from home. Thank you to Carol and Richard for a great cabin!

Perfect Home Nestled Among Pine Trees

We had a very restful Christmas at this property. I chose this property due to its closeness to Royal Gorge, this house turns out to be much much better looking than the pictures show: all furniture is real wood, all rooms are decorated tastefully, the entertainment center is equipped with modern systems and tasteful collection of DVDs for adults as well as children. Everywhere is spotless and well-lit, including the walk-in laundry room. 2 bikes and sleds, mittens are thoughtfully provided. I will definitely return for another getaway.

Truly a Home Away from Home

We celebrated our son's 9th birthday here and he had an awesome time. This property is in a great location (there are a lot of activities to choose from), very comfortable, clean, everything we needed was already there, nicely furnished, good quality furniture/linen, cozy, and the owners are very helpful. My family had a great time, so we're hoping to return next year.

A perfect getaway

We rented this home last minute as a quick getaway for the holiday and absolutely loved it. It was perfect for our family (2 adults, 3 kids) and had plenty of space for both alone and together time. Great location, if felt like we were completely away from it all but was only 15 minutes to a major grocery store. The house was warm and inviting and comfortable with great internet and a great game collection. We went for long walks on the first two nights and enjoyed snow on the third. It was a great stay and we are looking forward to a return.

Perfect location for Sugar Bowl skiing

We (4 adults, 5 kids) stayed here for a ski weekend at Sugar Bowl. Loved that it was close to skiing and plenty of space for everyone to spread out. The cabin has been nicely remodeled and is pleasant to stay in. The advertisement is misleading because they didn't offer the third night free, but we would stay here again.

FANTASTIC Weekend!

My family and I had a fabulous weekend get-away! This truly is a lovely house...quiet, spacious, and well-equipped!...Not to mention, a perfect location...very near ski resorts we frequent, snow park and gas station. The owner, Alicia, is simply pleasant and very responsive which made our experience effortless and very positive. Looking forward to return again in the near future.
