This beautifully remodeled condo features hardwood floors, granite counters, alder trim & doors. All living space is on the first floor, with each bedroom having a queen size bed and it's own attached bath.

This is a non-smoking cabin. We love animals and pets, but unfortunately some family members have allergies, so pets are NOT allowed. You might be fortunate to watch deer walk through the back yard, see a bunny or two, Stellar Jays and other forest birds, chipmunks and squirrels, or witness beavers building their dam just down the nature trail in the meadow pond.

This is a perfect place to stay for a family winter ski trip. Very close to the Tahoe Donner result, perfectly comfortable and outfitted for a family, and accompanied by lots of lovely touches (Christmas decorations, etc.). We really enjoyed our stay here and would stay again!
Very cozy with everything you need! Our kids loved all the toys and games. Beautiful location with sledding right out back. After a heavy snow we found the parking area and streets plowed promptly- this is important when visiting Tahoe in the winter! We hope to return!
What a comfortable and well located spot for our family of four. My kids loved the toys and there was plenty of space to spread out and relax. The slopes in the neighborhood were perfect for my kids to start learning to ski and being right next to Truckee was great. We will be back!
Great stay over the holidays. Convenient location, nice set up. The best is how well stoked the home is, which is so nice to have when you have a young kid. Tons of dishes, pots, etc to eat many meals and throw it all into the dishwasher. Lots of games and toys for little ones to play. Takes a load off. Thanks James for adding the small but important touches.
Perfect Family Ski Getaway in Stunning Truckee Cabin
This beautiful, modern cabin in Truckee was the ideal getaway for our family ski trip. The kids were absolutely thrilled with the amazing amenities – they had so much fun they didn't want to leave! The cabin itself was impeccably clean and tastefully decorated, creating a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. We loved that it was within walking distance of a smaller ski slope, perfect for our little ones to practice and build confidence. Overall, a fantastic experience and we would definitely recommend this cabin to any family looking for a memorable ski vacation!
Stayed here twice--a couple years ago and recently (a couple weeks ago). Both times, was great. The two masters are great, and the kids enjoyed their own hideout--the loft area, which has twin bunk and a pull-out sofa, and TV. Very clean, and great communication with the owner from the instant I booked to the time I left. Feels more spacious than the photos, feels like a stand-alone home. A stone's throw from Tahoe Donner. Would definitely book here again!
Came with our family of 5 to find a cozy, well furnished condo with plenty of games, DVDs, loft lounge for the kids, and functional kitchen. Easily walked to the ski slopes (9 mins). Overall very happy with the condo. Only issue: Upstairs neighbor unfriendly and inconsiderate, hopefully you can avoid her!
This is our second time staying at this property and it's a wonderful rental. The owners think of everything and make it a very comfortable stay. Will definitely be back again!

Very clean and well cared for.
Clean and well appointed condo, well situated for outdoor fun.
This place was absolutely perfect for our family's trip to Tahoe! The home was immaculately clean, the kitchen was well-stocked, the beds extremely comfortable and the toys a happy distraction for our kids. The check-in process was seamless and James was very responsive and easy to communicate with. We are already dreaming of our next trip back!
My wife and 6 year-old son could not have been more pleased: perfect location; all amenities provided; incredibly thoughtful and helpful owners.
We felt as if we were staying with friends who thought of our every need!
As the Terminator says: "[We'll] be back.
The place is centrally located and has everything you need for an active vacation, or just stay at home and relax.
James is super accommodating host. He was in touch with us even before the trip to make sure that we can get safely to the area as the conditions were pretty bad because of the storm.
