Very cute space and well stocked. Loved the little lakes and the peaceful setting. It lives up to the title Serene! Close enough to enjoy time at Donner and Tahoe lakes. Would love to come back and enjoy some skiing in the area :)
We had a terrific time here. The cabin is furnished comfortably and attractively - it's both homey and updated. As well as quiet and perfectly located. We cooked, skiied, played games (Exploding Kittens comes with the property :) and slept. We will be back for sure!
This is our second time renting this property and it was just as perfect as the first time. The house is clean and smells good, quality linens provided, and the kitchen well organized and stocked with all the right tools! Also, the queen mattress downstairs is one of the most comfortable mattresses I've even encountered. We will for sure be back!
House was well equipped and organized. Location was for summer activities of swimming, boating, hiking and mountain bike riding. Nice to be able to communicate directly with the owner.
I visited Lake Tahoe with my friends and stayed in this cabin. Its very nice cabin and very close to Tahoe. I will recommend everyone to stay at this cabin.
Thank you, Bill for the wonderful stay in your thoughtfully finished house! We appreciated the reliable wifi and how complete the kitchen was, we had all the kitchen tools needed! It was perfect for our anniversary week away! We look forward to our next stay. Thanks again for everything!

Nice!
Our family stayed here for 2 nights and had a blast! We went on little "adventures" around the area. The cabin was comfortable, pleasing to the eyes and clean! It was a great place to stay! The snow was sparse but still beautiful. We also went up to North Star and rollers skated. That was fun. It was so nice to be close to so many fun things. Thank you!
The cabin was clean, updated and spacious. Loved the heated floors in the bathroom. The fireplace was so warm and heated the whole place! Kitchen was recently updated with new appliances. No need to bring shampoo, conditioner, soap as it’s already there! Wireless chargers available in all bedrooms. Overall we loved the place and would love to rent again our next time in Truckee area.

4th of July getaway
We had a little summer hiking/biking retreat here to celebrate the impending wedding of an old college friend. The cabin is clean and well-appointed, and the open floor plan is great for groups. We had a great time grilling on the deck. The neighborhood is wonderful as well: away from the main Tahoe crowds, walking distance to the lake, trails out the back door. Will definitely return!
