Property details

Offering endless fun all year long, this Truckee vacation rental is your gateway to the Sierra Nevada mountains. Spend winter days on the slopes at Northstar California Resort, or explore the water from Donner Lake Marina in the summer — both within 12 miles of your door. See it all with ease from Alder Creek Road, which grants traffic-free access to CA-89! At day’s end, return to the 3-bed, 2.5-bath cabin for a BBQ feast on the balcony, followed by a movie night beside the wood-burning stove.

Place was beautiful, just like the photos. Great spot for family/friends. Close to Safeway and other stores. My only two concerns with the place was the grill did not work, had not been cleaned in some time which was disappointing since we were looking for to some bbq nights. The other concern was the POC they had. I had reached out and gentleman was rude, short and unprofessional.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The heat was tricky to figure out at first but after a quick phone call with the property manager we were told to just wait for it to heat up. It would have been great if there was a note somewhere in the handbook that could've told us it was floor heating. It did end up taking several hours but it got warm and cozy in the place.
