Perfect for our group

Perfect place to spend a cozy weekend celebrating my parents 50th wedding anniversary. The open concept was perfect to keep everyone together. The seating was comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked, and it was great to have a large bedroom with a full bathroom on the main floor. Easy check-in/out. Clean and exactly as we expected.

Cute, cozy but just okay

This house is cute and cozy however it doesn’t have that upscale clean feeling that the photos show. Once you arrive you can tell that it is an older cabin that was renovated. Unfortunately you can also tell that the renovations done were done cheaply. There are noticeable issues where the owners did not complete the renovations to cut costs. Such as in the closets down stairs, there is still the old laminate flooring from the 70s. The upstairs bathtub/shower insert has some heavy ant issues. Everyday giant carpenter ants as well and a few spiders are coming through the seems of the shower insert. The beds are also extremely uncomfortable. The kitchen is also very disorganized. The cabinets are so full with so many random kitchen items that it’s hard to find the items that are needed. They also have close to a hundred large kitchen knives all in these random cabinets. I had to do a quick childproofing of the kitchen and move the knives up higher and out of reach of my toddler. Although we had a lovely time in Truckee, I likely will not be returning to this cabin. These are just a few small issues that the owners can change in order to make the home feel nicer for their guests.

Great House . . .

The house was perfect, we had a little issue with a key not working, but the management company took care of it right away. We enjoyed the quiet, super clean house and the kitchen was very well stocked. The towels are very nice (thank you).

Camp Howdy Tahoe Donner stay

The only reason I gave 1-star rating is that I didn't have to communicate with property manager. There was no "N/A" choice. The stay was comfortable. We skied in Boreal, and it was very convenient. Also, the location is convenient to grocery stores and restaurants. The place was clean, well-stocked in terms of cooking utensils and other essential items. There are a few small broken items - towel rod near the sink in the 1st floor bath, but none of these were an irritant. Will definitely consider revisits.

Great Location - Great House!

We've stayed all over this neighborhood and this was the most convenient location yet. The house is updated and although not very large, fit our family of 5 perfectly. Lots of open space for snow play, easy in and out from Northwoods Blvd, and a well set up house.

Our second stay did not disappoint! My only suggestion is more paper products. It was our experience this summer that there wasn’t enough TP or paper towels. We were prepared and brought extra this time and they were needed. Everything else is just the best!

Fun at camp howdy

We loved staying at camp howdy! It was clean and very homey with all the things we needed to make our stay nice and relaxed. It was the smallest cabin we have stayed in but didn't feel cramped at all . It was a cute , quaint , nicely decorated cabin with all the attention to detail. We would stay at camp howdy again the beds were very comfy and we had a wonderful night's sleep.

Perfect cozy cabin

We really enjoyed our stay at Camp Howdy. This is a fairly modestly sized cabin, but perfect for groups 6 and under. It was just three of us up there, and it was very cozy, warm and inviting. Well equipped. Great location as well. Definitely hope to come back
