Great stay!

Perfect place for a quick weekend away with my daughters. The cabin is very sweet and cozy, plenty of games, puzzles, legos to keep the kids entertained on a snowy day. Fun backyard to play in the snow and super close to Donner ski ranch and Truckee. We will definitely be back for another stay. Maybe next time in the summer

Cozy Creekside Cabin

This was our 2nd time staying at this amazing property. Britta was a fantastic host once again with exceptional communication. The cabin had everything we needed and more. The location along Donner creek is peaceful and serene. Being able to sit in the hottub after a full day on the slopes is a real plus. We will stay here again for sure!

Cosy cabin in a great location

We really enjoyed our time in the cabin and we hope to come back for a longer stay later this year. The cabin was a perfect size for us and was filled with sunlight through all the windows. The location is fantastic in a quiet neighborhood and right next to a beautiful creek. It was very clean and had pretty much everything you would need to cook a meal.

Wonderful family cabin

This was a perfect winter cabin for our family of four. There is a bathroom and shower on both levels, washer and dryer, and enough pots and pans to prepare simple meals. Plenty of towels, kitchen and bath tissues. Large outdoor deck and nice views from every window. Wifi is fine for work and streaming. Host is very responsive over text. Neighborhood is very quiet and peaceful. DSR and Sugar Bowl are less than 15 minutes away. We really enjoyed our stay here and look forward to visiting again.

Charming Cabin in a Great Location

This is such a sweet and comfortable cabin. We loved how it was nestled in the trees and you could hear the creek rushing by. It's an easy walk to Donner Lake and 15 minute drive to Sugar Bowl. Worked perfectly for our family of 4. Britta was very kind and communicative.

The Cabin was everything VRBO had listed, and the owners were always available for any questions we had. A super quiet neighborhood less than a half mile from Donner Lake with hiking trails all around. Couldn’t have enjoyed a better weekend anywhere else. Can’t wait to come back!

Cozy cabin retreat

This was a great cabin retreat in Donner. We enjoyed all the amenities and location - morning hikes and exploring, meals at many of the great restaurants nearby, hot tub soaks, card and board games, movies on Netflix. We got married on Donner Lake and this was the perfect cabin for us!
