Beautiful Cabin in the Woods
We have stayed here twice now. It's a great location that is quiet but not too far from the Truckee scene. It is nice to have a bathroom for each bedroom to allow for personal space. We love the homey feeling of the cabin and hope to return soon!
A beautiful and peaceful vacation cabin. Cabin was clean and well stocked. Relaxing on the deck with the forest view was so relaxing. The property management company always answered their phones and was great to work with. Would highly recommend!

Ski Retreat
Lodgepole was a wonderfully comfortable ski lodge that allowed a group of friends to reconnect. There is no feeling like sitting by the fire or in the hottub after a day on the slopes
Would love to come back to this property again!

Wonderful Cabin So cozy!
This is one of my favorite cabins to stay at. Well furnished, clean and comfortable. The back deck is so peaceful. When you are relaxing on the deck, you feel like you are in the middle of the forest as there are no cabins directly behind you. We saw a Black bear and her two cubs walk by, as well as chipmunks, squirrels and deer. Tahoe Getaways was easy to work with. Highly recommend this cabin.
We very much enjoyed our stay at Tahoe Donner. It was close to everything we wanted and needed. The home was very clean and organized. The rental company was extremely helpful and responsive to our questions and concerns. The check in and check out process was easy. There were a couple of things that we wish we had known prior to staying there, but nothing that would impact this review. Overall it was a very nice place to stay and I would recommend it.

Comfy Home in Tahoe Donner
My husband and I hosted his daughter and her family (2 young kids) at this nice house last weekend. Kitchen is well-appointed, comfortable living room is nicely furnished, and the lovely deck in back boasts a clean, hot hot tub, as well as a bbq, sitting and dining space. Beyond the deck is open space that was fun for kids to explore. Two demerits for uncomfortable mattresses/pillows, and the absence of beach towels. Also disappointed to learn the Tahoe Donner recreation hut wasn't open until later in June, so many of the amenities we hoped to enjoy were unavailable. Donner Lakefront was delightful—not crowded and clean!

Upon arrival the main floor bathroom was not clean & the kitchen/dining room floors were not clean. Called the property manager to correct the situation. It took 4 phone calls and 3 days before the cleaners came out to finish the cleaning.
Other than the above, the location, house, were good. The kitchen was wel equipped. back deck was nice and it was nice to be able to use the garage.

Family Birthday Celebration
This is a wonderful cabin situated in just the right spot; not too far from main roads but far enough to feel away from the hustle and bustle. Our group consisted of 3 couples and we were very comfortable within the space. Something we were all impressed with was the amount of entertaining pieces throughout the kitchen and dining room. It's as if the cabin owners thought of everything most people would want to have for serving meals, preparing drinks, etc. There is also plenty of information throughout the home, and provided beforehand, making a stay hassle-free. The wooded view looking out of the back of the home is stunning and I can only imagine how enjoyable the deck is during warmer months. We'll just have to go back and find out!
Our family had an incredible time and enough snow for a lifetime! After we got in town, which was about four hours before the historic snow storm Orzelle hit, we saw constant heavy snow fall for 5 days and almost constant blizzard conditions with snow totals of seven plus feet. There was so much snow during our stay that we could not even see out of the family room/kitchen doors! We literally had a snow wall that we formed around the hot tub and made a small trail out of one of the doors on to the deck to get to the hot tub. It was crazy, but we loved every minute of it!
The home was so cozy, clean, the hot tub was fantastic, and we were able to make wonderful memories as a family. The only one issue that we had was that we could have used one of the two snowblowers to enable ourselves to leave the home at our will. We had to wait for the plow to come or we even had to shovel ourselves out one morning to get to Northstar to ski. We don't mind shoveling, but with the incredible amount of snow we received (which was in feet), one of the two snowblowers should have been working and definitely would of been a huge help! My husband tried for over an hour with the neighbor next door to get one of them running with no success. So, the gas we purchased before trying to get them started ended up not getting used.
Other than that inconvenience, we loved our accommodations and will always remember our stay in Truckee at Lodgepole.
Fantastic house! Really loved the huge back patio and lots of outdoor furniture and seating. Spacious and well equipped kitchen made staying in and cooking at home much more enjoyable. Very quiet and love how the back of the house opens into a hillside full of trees.
The house was beautiful and very clean. The property manager was very responsive. The amenities at Tahoe Donner are also great and would recommend anybody to take advantage (there is a cost attached to using the amenities but it is worth the cost since you can use them all day long).
Beautiful home very comfortable However, had problem with hot water heater not working on check out morning. And not enough towels And dishwasher did not work entire stay. This was a BIG Problem! 4 of 6 guests did not get to shower and had to fly home without having a shower! Unacceptable! I need a refund for at least for one day because of shower and dishwasher not working!

Thanks for the stay. Nice house. We were frustrated with how hard it was to open the hot tub, that the fire pit didn't work and the lack of basic kitchen essentials (salt, pepper, oil, etc.)

This was the first time staying in a cabin & let me tell you this place had set the bar extremely high! Me & 4 other girls stayed here & celebrated a bday & anniversary. What a beautiful place to celebrate both of these. Thank you so much for making our first girls cabin trip an amazing one. Such a beautiful cabin, amazing views, very well kept & fully stocked. We treated it as if it was our own. We will definitely be coming back here in the future!!!!!!!!
We LOVED LOVED this gorgeous perfect home. Our 2 adult children and spouses had ample room- everyone had king beds and each had own bathroom- it was perfect! The patio is wonderful and open living room was wonderful for our family. Kitchen was fully stocked with plenty of supplies! Quiet location and easy drive to Tahoe city and incline village! Overall just a PERFECT PERFECT play to stay!! Also loved utilizing the Tahoe Donner pool and gym while we were there! The check in process great!! Thank you!! We hope to come back again soon!

Guy's Ski Trip
This is a beautiful, spacious house perfect for three singles or three couples. The kitchen was well appointed and the LR was perfect for Super Bowl viewing. Like many houses with cathedral ceilings the room temperatures can vacillate. Be careful how you park when the driveway is snowy/icy, as our car slid 15 feet down the driveway. Parking parallel to the house seemed to solve that.
The property/house is an immaculate luxery log cabin/house! It is extremely cozy and cute, and very updated. The layout is wonderful with a very large kitchen. The bedrooms are large and the bathrooms are very clean and updated. We absolutely loved this place! We did not even get to use the hot tub as we were in a bit of a storm, but it was there if we wanted to!
The management company was great! The check in and out details were clear and easy. They were easy to get a hold of for any questions you may have.
We will stay here again for sure!
This house is an absolutely gem!!!
Sincerely,
Vijay

NOT CLEAN
I bet the bedsheets were not washed in weeks, bedrooms were not clean at all. but property manager availability was good, Not gonna come again!
Overall, this place was absolutely amazing. The home is gorgeous and very roomy. The management company was easy to work with and very responsive. I would DEFINITELY stay here again. However, I will mention just a couple of things for the next people that stay just to give you guys a heads up.
- The kitchen is well - equipped, but I could not find a single sharp knife. Would recommend to bring your own if possible.
- The management company does NOT provide cleaning rags or kitchen towels. The ONLY available towels are the pure white and very luxurious bath towels. They are lovely, but if you enjoy cooking as much as we do, kitchen towels and rags are a must have, would recommend to bring your own. I did ask the management company if they provided them when I realized there were none, and they said it just 'isn't something they provide in their homes'.
That being said, we had a phenomenal time and would highly highly recommend staying here. It was very awesome.
