A nice stay in Tahoe Donner, close to the Alder Creek Adventure Center. Host was very easy to communicate with and quick to respond. The place is small secondary unit, however plenty comfortable for 2. They also offer a twin self inflating air mattress if a second bed is needed. They have some items for cooking, however i wouldn't plan on choosing this stay if you prefer to cook your own meals during your stay. Very conveniently located if your looking to get to the Tahoe Donner trails for hiking or biking! If you're a group of 2 looking for a stay in Tahoe Donner or near Truckee, then this is definitely a worthy stay!

Tastefully decorated apartment. Great little touches like: muffins, some fruit and Dove bar chocolates. The place was stocked with everything necessary for a great stay. Netflix, WiFi, etc made it even better. The quality of the kitchen ware, towels, bedding were first rate. We would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet, safe place to relax and enjoy the Sierras. The host(s) was very welcoming and gracious. Only 1 negative: we had to leave.

We had a wonderful stay at Laura & Kevin's place. A very pleasant view of the snow falling out the patio window. Laura keeps things clean. It was great not to have any smells (no smoke or animal smells). Fortunately, L&K live on the top floor of the house, so they were very responsive to our requests (and taking care of the abundance of snow that fell on the driveway while we were there). They provided brushes, scrapers, shovels, to help us with our car. The apartment worked well for us. We could have used a larger refrigerator, but our ice chests (and rotating the ice-packs with the small freezer compartment) were adequate. (In retrospect, maybe we should have used the garage for the ice chests!) They were friendly, accommodating, and great hosts!

Perfect weekend getaway

If you're debating staying here, just do it! We stayed here over Labor day weekend and it was the perfect getaway. Wonderful hospitality (from chocolates to advice on nearby running trails), great space for relaxing, and the perfect location for hiking, mountain biking, and a short drive to Donner Lake. Beautiful view out back with a gas fire pit too! 10/10 would recommend and we already look forward to coming back.

Once you've accepted the lack of kitchen sink and need to use washroom sink, the experience was very positive. Plenty of hot water. Bed comfy. Laura was very attentive to our needs.

Clean, comfortable and very welcoming.

The studio has its own entrance and the owners live above . If you need to ask any questions Laura replies immediately. There was everything you needed and the bed was really comfortable. The small patio area has a BBQ and you are surrounded by lots of trees. You are not far from the town of Truckee which has lots of shops and great restaurants. Lots of information in the studio re.places to visit which we found very useful. We had a lovely vacation and it was great to go back every evening to a nice cozy place.

About the host

Hosted by Laura Cuff

Host profile image
We relocated to Truckee from Southern California in 2015. We are now enjoying all that the Truckee/Lake Tahoe area has to offer. We both work full time in Truckee. Skiing and Boating are our favorite things to do and this area is just that! We hope you will consider staying in our apartment and look forward to meeting you!

Why they chose this property

Our apartment is perfect for two people looking for a getaway. We give you as much privacy as you need. We do live full time in the upstairs portion of the home. We are very quiet, but you may hear light footsteps when we are home. There is a deck off the apartment with a beautiful view of the meadow. Sit and enjoy your morning coffee or a glass of wine in the evening. You may see deer while sitting out here which is always an amazing sight! You will have a private entrance through the garage which is not a grand entrance but as soon as you enter the apartment you will love the space. Parking is on the driveway which is flat and easily accessible. If you are visiting during the winter you will need chains or a 4wheel drive. Our roads around the house are plowed early.

What makes this property unique

So many things to do here in Truckee! See the amenities when you Google "things to do in Truckee" for other activities in the area.
