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!

Beautiful setting/Adorable Cabin
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 :)

Great little family getaway
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!
