The size & layout of this cabin were perfect for our annual Donner vacation. Master bdrm is separate from the other bedrooms. The upstairs is perfect for the kids. And there are 2 other bedrooms. Plenty of room for everyone. Nice quiet neighborhood, yet not too far from the lake. This cabin was clean and plenty of room in the kitchen. Will come back next year!

The perfect house for a family with kids and pets

The house was exactly as shown in the pictures. Spacious living area ideal for our family and our pup. Everything was perfect and clean upon our arrival. There was a power outage in the area our first night but we called our host who let us know they were aware and would give us updates if requested. The power came back a little over an hour later. I would recommend bringing flashlights as we were not prepared for it.

Our stay at this property during a hot summer weekend was a fantastic experience. The home was immaculately clean and spacious, providing an atmosphere of comfort. Every room was well-equipped with high-quality amenities, enhancing our overall convenience. Kids love the bunk beds in the second floor. The property boasted all essentials for an ideal vacation rental, from a fully-equipped kitchen to comfortable bedrooms and clean bathrooms.

In summary, this property delivered an exceptional vacation experience, ticking all the right boxes for comfort, cleanliness, space, and quality amenities. We look forward to revisiting soon.

We enjoyed the snow! So much snow!!! We have rented several different homes in the area over the years. The home we rented this past week end needs someone to go through it and check it out! These homes are not cheap to rent and I understand that some renters are hard on places but that being said the home owner needs to go through the home and replace/organize the kitchen, toys, fix replace the towel racks(downstairs bath) drapes(main bedroom) wall patches & slow drains in both downstairs bathrooms. It makes me not want to spend my money renting this way anymore.

Great stay!

Everything about our stay was so great. We loved the cabin itself with all the space, the location was great, loved that it was dog-friendly, and we appreciated how clear the communication was. We had several friends come together for a birthday celebration so the 2 tripe-bunk-beds were a great addition (albeit hilarious for a group of adults). The one thing I wish we had known prior to booking the stay was the benefits of booking directly through Tahoe Signature Properties (as opposed to through AirBnb). Something to know for next time! It also would have been nice if the deck was shoveled so we could enjoy a bit better.

Great home for families with kids or multiple families

The house was great minus one small problem with a sink we weren't made aware of. Having a second living room for kids to hang out in with that awesome bunk room was great. If you come during the winter be prepared to shovel. We had to find the hot tub by digging out snow . It took us a while, but we were able to carve out a path on the deck and down the stairs and around the hot tub. The home was very comfortable and clean.
