A Message From The Owners: We are close to the west end beaches, in the flat west end neighborhood which is great for kids (bike riding, playing, scootering etc.). A quick drive to downtown Truckee, much closer to the bay area vs driving to Lake Tahoe. It took us 5 years of looking at real estate at Donner Lake for us to find our forever family cabin. We plan to keep this home in our family for many generations.
To ensure a transparent and wonderful stay, please review these important details: - No Air Conditioning: Like most homes in Tahoe, our cabin does not have AC. - Mountain Life: Dust and pollen can accumulate quickly on outdoor furniture. The BBQ and other outdoor furniture may be stored and unavailable during winter (typically October- May). - Weather & Travel: A 4WD/AWD vehicle, chains, or snow tires may be required in winter. - Uncontrollable Events: We are not responsible for uncontrollable circumstances such as poor air quality during wildfire season or snow during winter. We strongly recommend purchasing external trip insurance, as our cancellation policy will be upheld. - Safety: The home is equipped with smoke alarms, carbon monoxide alarms, and a first aid kit for your safety. - Please refer to the Rental Agreement for a full list of the local STR Rules.
