The downstairs bed/bath gave the inlaws some space and privacy (and us some distance from snoring ;P) while the upstairs bunkroom and 2nd bedroom/bathroom was ideal for us and the kids. The common living/dining area was cozy and the backyard was great for sledding with little kids. Also the property is close to many ski options, and the property as a whole was very clean and well maintained. We would definitely stay again! ##### Melissa W.

The cabin is roomy but cozy, beautifully decorated, and with extremely comfortable beds. The highlight for us, though, was the backyard. We have gone to the Tahoe Donner area for several years now to play in the snow with our children and grandchildren. The sledding in the backyard was the best of any place we’ve been!! Amazing! As was the space for building snow forts and snowmen and having friendly snowball fights. We have already reserved for next year and can’t wait to go back. 5 stars!!! ##### Pat L.

It was an easy commute to Palisades (Olympic Village) for pre-race events and to race start. Truckee was right down the hill and had everything we needed. The residence was comfortable and clean and exactly what the pictures showed and was described. Had everything needed to serve large meals if so inclined to do so. The locals (bear, deer, racoons, and coyotes) wandered by to make sure we were enjoying ourselves. Hale Mauka really made our experience in the Tahoe area so relaxing and carefree. ##### Mike C.

It’s very close to Sugarbowl where we have passes. Easy access to Safeway too. If you want take-out, not many places deliver so be prepared to pick up or just enjoy dinner out.Great communication with property owner and plenty of dry wood and kindling for the fireplace.Just two items to note: Alder Creek is a busy street and not appropriate to walk on. We enjoy walks in the neighborhood and to hiking trails. Not recommended here. Better to drive. Also, during the winter, there can be a lot of ice on the stairs leading to the house from the garage. Proceed with caution, especially when you are carrying something like wood from the garage to the house. All in all a great stay! We definitely recommend this home for families. ##### April D.
