Thank you for the lovely stay in Tahoe-Donner. The comfortable home was clean and had everything we needed. The back deck is huge and made for relaxing. The neighborhood is quiet and near to great hiking trails (early June is a great time to see wildflowers) and other activities. We would not hesitate to come back.
Perfect for our family including 1 year old baby. Will book again!

Great place
We had a great time! The cabin was super spacious, cozy, and just enough isolation. The hot tub was perfection, the tv setup was great, and the beds were ultra comfortable. Great place, will definitely book again this summer!
Can’t say enough great things about the accommodations!
Came up with my family for a long weekend and truly enjoyed ourselves! We can’t wait to come back again soon!
Thanks!

Great stay!
Check in was easy and instructions we're clear. This home has everything you would need for a young family. We enjoyed making meals in the well equipped kitchen. The hot tub was great after being on the slopes. We took evening walks around the neighborhood, a great stay.
This was our annual trip to Tahoe and our first stay at the property and we had an absolute fantastic time. The property management group were a breeze to work with and the property itself was excellent. We had a great stay and will be looking to return in future visits.
This house is a great find in Tahoe Donner. The layout is great for two families or one big family. Plenty of sleeping space for kids and a nice open kitchen and living room for hanging out. The house is fully equipped and clean. We would definitely rent this house again.

Loved our stay!
Our stay here was perfect for my family. It felt cozy and homey. The place was exactly as pictured. Spotless, which allowed us all to feel very comfortable. The dining, kitchen, and living areas were spacious for the 6 of us. The amenities were plentiful and thoughtful - we absolutely loved using the fireplace and hot tub each night! The property managers were very responsive via email prior to our stay. We did have an issue with the garage access one night, and although I couldn't reach anyone by phone, I received a prompt response via text. My only suggestion, which is personal preference, is to have firmer mattresses. Otherwise would highly recommend this place and would undoubtedly choose to stay here again!

Excellent stay with toddlers
We had a wonderful time in Truckee at this beautiful well-appointed cabin. The hosts were extremely attentive and accommodating and the home had everything we needed plus extras. We used the crib, the board games, children's books, and all the cooking gadgets. We also enjoyed the sleds.
We had two 2-year olds and a 4-year old who all delighted in the bunk bed and spacious home to run around in. There are corner-guards on the counter top. My recommendation to the host would be to replace the glass coffee table with something less fragile and to put child-locks on the lower cabinets. A child gate on the stairs would be icing on the cake. We made it work by putting a blanket on the glass table and we removed breakables from the lower cabinets. Not a problem in the end.
I highly recommend this lovely cabin for your family vacation.

Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy
The owner is very nice.. It is a cute little cabin. I have never given a negative review on VRBO and I would never want one. But I think that people should know what they are getting,I wish I did. It doesn't say and I couldn't tell in the pictures but the neighbors are kinda close and owners live on site. The pictures on VRBO NEED to be updated. The beautiful view from the kitchen is blocked by some trees. I know it's the woods but the cabin had a very bad ant problem. Mostly in the kitchen and bathroom. I'm not sure if it was the time of year, early June, or because they had a lot of rain this year. But there was NO beach. A very sketchy dock you can walk on. There's a gas grill, not charcoal which might matter to some. You bring your own wood. No cell service. I have to say the worst thing about our stay was the gas smell coming from the stove. We did let the owner know and he said he had it checked and it was fine. But you could not be in the cabin without the windows open and fans on. At night we left all the windows open and shut the bedroom door. If you get headaches/migraines I would not recommend staying here. The last two nights were ruined because I had a migraine from the gas smell. I cleaned the cabin when I arrived and they ask you to clean when you leave. I've never been to the Adirondacks.. so I'm not sure if this is normal.. but everything closes between 4-5pm, just FYI, might be a seasonal thing. Hiking is beautiful. Bugs were baddd.
Great house for me and my family, especially with having and infant, house had everything we needed.

Amazing home!
Sun Valley Lodge was an awesome getaway for our family, we loved spending time together in the living room, and enjoyed the hot tub, the flat lot is wonderful and it came with baby gear. I loved having a separate space to catch up on work, we plan to be back this summer.
