Aug 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Great for our large family of 9 consisting of grandparents, 30 yo adults, and two children. We loved the open concept and the game room was great for entertaining everyone. We rented in July and were allowed to park on the street, which was helpful. The house was furnished with everything we needed and was very close to local outdoor activities. (Donner Lake, Truckee River, downtown Truckee). The extra large dining table and numerous seating options were much appreciated to accommodate our group. We loved the decks for morning coffee and evening BBQs.A couple of notes: 1) As can be seen from the listing photos, there are A LOT of stairs (both inside and out) which made moving in and out difficult as well as navigating between floors during our stay. The downstairs area is an extra long way away from the main level for keeping tabs on younger family members compared to a typical two story home. 2) This community has many amenities and there were guest passes available, however, a fee is required to use them. For instance, for our day trip to Donner Lake, we opted to use the Donner State Park beach instead of the community private beach right next door. We found it to be a better alternative and price at 10 per car. 3) The back outside area is mostly undeveloped making it tricky to move around outdoors.All in all we had a very positive experience. We have utilized vacation rentals many times in several different states and have found it to be a pleasure! ##### Nancy P. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Danielle G. Dec 26, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication #### Perfect family cabin, needs better property manager communication Loved this place once we could get up the driveway. Even with an AWD with chains we couldn't get up for 45 minutes and the property management was no help. Never got back to me on a tow company to shovel the driveway until I called 3 different times and demanded the "local area team" reach out to me. At that time was told too bad, they're closed until Monday. It took 45 minutes, salting and shoveling to get my car up. Internet was down due to storm and system needed to be reset which was also an issue. Their hookups had been completely messed up (I'm guessing by last guests) luckily I was able to finally look up everything myself to fix. Again, the cabin was amazing, the game room was a blast, but property management needs to improve their customer service. ##### Danielle G. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2021
