Host is very responsive and the check in process was easy. Proximity to Donner Lake and old town Truckee is good. Cabin was not very clean and had cobwebs. Some of the sheets and pillows smelled dingy. We went to replace one pillow case with another and found blood stains on the pillow. Beach towels are very old and need to be replaced.
We enjoyed our stay at this Tahoe Donner cabin. Kids loved the large bunk beds, and the hot tub on the back deck was great. Good location and well equipped cabin.
Terrie has been a responsive and communitive property owner. This home is in wonderful location with a large yard and surrounded by many trees. Hot tub is great and relaxing. Property is well kept, clean, and furnished.
We rent this property for Thanksgiving weekend we had a really good time is a beautiful cabin the beds are very comfortables everything was so clean 👌 the best part was the jacuzzi nice and hot we really recommend this property for your next trip to Truckee..
We had a wonderful stay at the cozy cabin. It was actually very spacious. We had three adults and two teens. The kitchen was well appointed. The deck had both grill and an awesome hot tub.
Terrie (the host) was a great communicator.
Would definitely stay again!
Beautiful place. Tons of places to sleep. Very comfortable beds (even the bunks for adults!). Great wood stove to add coziness in the winter. (*A small axe and some newspaper would help for starting fires). More paperwork than I'm used to for a short term, but that's likely due to the HOA. Communication was a little terse, but everything worked out. Would absolutely stay here again!
Our family had a wonderful time at the Place in the Pines. From the location, to the layout, to the amenities, our family thoroughly enjoyed our time there. The layout was perfect for our family - the kids loved the bunk beds. Everything was clean, comfortable, and well organized. The location is ideal - far enough away from "town" that you don't have the Truckee traffic crunch, but close enough that you can be to any major Tahoe destination in relatively short amount of time. We went in a shoulder month so didn't use or visit any of the amenitites at Donnor - we plan to book another trip soon when those are open!

Brent, I’m so glad you enjoyed the cabin but hope you bring your precious little ones back when there’s snow around the cabin. Bring saucers and they won’t want to leave the property as the sled run possibilities are endless fun for kids and adults alike!
As soon as we got there we were amazed. The perfect home for a quick getaway with the family. My kids loved the hot tub and ability to go sledding just outside the house. Supermarket (Safeway) just a few minutes away. We never used the fireplace because we were outside the entire time.
The owner Terrie was soooooo nice and available anytime I had questions. Will definitely come back.
This is our second stay at this home and it was another wonderful visit. The kitchen is well appointed with plenty of cooking utensils. We used the BBQ which was clean and easy to use. The back deck is so peaceful with the wind blowing through the pine trees. Access to Tahoe Donner community facilities is great- we used the beach club, golf driving range- all easy to access. Trails behind the neighborhood were convenient for a short hike. Easy to relax and enjoy the Sierra Nevada area. Hope to return!
We come to Donner several times per year and Terrie’s property was great. The layout of the home is open and welcoming. Nice large kitchen that was well stocked. Beds were cozy. Everything was very clean and nicely updated furnishings. The backyard was fantastic! In the summer the back deck gets shade most of the day which is perfect for relaxing. There is a big outdoor dining table and we used the hot tub daily. I love the location of the house as it’s in the HOA but closer to town and still easy to access the HOA amenities. Terrie was communicative and great to work with. Overall I would highly recommend this property and would stay again!

Thank you for the lovely review Leslie. We’re so glad your family liked the cabin. It was purchased for our extended family and for all those same reasons. We generally have at least 3 people in the kitchen at once so the large open kitchen was key. And if you think the backyard was great in the summer, please book in the winter too when a 70’ sled run is usually dug into the sloping snow and provides some terrific family fun.
The house was well equipped with everything we needed for our time in Truckee. The finishes and furnishings are showing a little age but everything is clean and in good working order. The kitchen was well equipped. The hot tub was a welcomed luxury after a long day of bicycling. The host was great to work with and answered a few questions quickly.
We enjoyed, and recommend spending time at Donner lake, either on one of the public docks (free, first come first served, so come early) or at China Cove beach in the state park (also, this fills up on the weekends, but weekdays are never too crowded). If you want to paddle board, get out early as the wind kicks up mid morning.
Truckee is a great place to stay on its own. Check out Donner Lake, the huge bike park, lots of hiking and mountain biking, float in the river, several very good dining options. But it is also close enough to Tahoe that we went to Sand Harbor twice (get there before 8 on weekdays, maybe earlier on weekends, absolutely worth the trouble though) and to Emerald Bay another day.
We would gladly stay here again!

Cozy weekend with family+friends
Overall not bad, they gave us early check-in, which is nice so that our kids can nap. we really needed that.
The beds were all comfortable and firm. Bunks could really reduce the decorativepillows.
Found a bit of golden animal fur in one of the bunkbeds, and some human scab particles on the bunk mattress covers (once I lifted up the sheets). however, this was just the bunkbed room- no other complaints from people in the master or queen bedrooms.
but-
-You don’t get a bottle of wine when you check in. Darn.
-Theres no propane grill on the deck.
We actually brought food to grill, but couldn’t use it. No idea this would be the case because online listing said there would be one.
each bathroom only had one extra roll of toilet paper, and no responses to my chat/questions regarding whereabouts of (additional) toilet paper in the house. I don’t know why, but that question was avoided each time I asked.
Hot tub, family room, and kitchen are great. decks are pretty clean.
Cozy place. Warm comfortable but not very modern. The upstairs loft is smaller than the listing makes it look. the TV is a bit old and needs to be replaced w/ something thinner and higher resolution. downstairs bathtub was not dirty, but was pretty dark stained from years of use, or maybe it just needed some bleaching.
Water pressure is good, nice and hot. But…housekeepers did not fully clean up the hair off the bathroom floor and toothpaste/beard shavings in the sink.
W/D are very modern and easy to use.

Every guest experience is important to us and I’m sorry yours wasn’t up to par with our usual guests who have historically least glowing reviews. The housekeeping team is reviewing your comments now. There are 2 rolls of tissue left out per bathroom, and.all beds receive fresh linens with each cleaning - that is our standard.
Terrie was a very responsive host. She was available and willing to help with any issues we had. We appreciated that the kitchen was very well stocked with more than just the basic necessities. The cabin had everything we needed, and then some. We really enjoyed our stay, and would definitely come back!
Me & my family enjoying staying here for our snow trip.. We were not ready for how much snow there was there. But we enjoyed our time. The house had everything for us even accommodating my 1 year old son with toys, high chairs and even a baby gate! But the only thing I had a problem with was in the master bathroom the shower curtain needs to be changed. Other than that we would recommend this cabin to relax and put your feet up. And thank you Terrie for letting us use your cabin to make some amazing memories with my family.
Tahoe Donner amenities expanded our options for recreation and relaxation. Comfortable home, great deck and hot tub. Convenient to plenty of restaurants and shops. Overall, the setting and accommodations made for a relaxing and enjoyable stay.
