Rustic Family Cabin w Tahoe Donner HOA Amenities

Very disappointing Negative: When we arrived at 4:30 the handyman was there fixing the dryer, he told us he would return to complete the fix but never did; therefore, no dryer for the stay. It made it difficult to go the beach and pool and not have anyplace except the outdoor railing to hang wet towels and bathing suits. It was warm in the house and on the wall near the front door was what appeared to be a wall heater that had a fan option. I thought that I would turn it on to get some air moving in the cabin and open the slider. Upon turning it on, it sparked and I immediately turned it off. I emailed them to let them know what had happened and that it was a safety issue. Did not get any response. The pictures on the website do not reflect the cabin, especially the lighting. The front room is very dark and the lighting is no conducive to reading in the evening. Right back burner on stove does not work. No screens on some windows for ventilation. My husband found the kitchen screens on the ground behind the house along with the bottom bedroom screen which was broken. He put the kitchen screen on the window so we could open it for air. The screen on the slider needs to be replaced as it is bent and the screen is ripped. There were no kitchen towels. There were no washcloths for 6 people (2 children which made bathing them hard). The upstairs bathroom will need a window covering when the house behind is completed or they will be able to look into the bathroom. Some of the blinds need to be replaced as we were unable to open them . Upon departure we were asked to start a load of towels but there was no laundry soap, it was a good thing that I always have laundry sheets in my luggage to I was able to start the load of towels.

Positive: La ubicación Negative: Encontramos basura de los huéspedes anteriores.....tube que llamar al anfitrión para ver si lo solucionaba ...la televisión no funcionaba....y pocos utensilios para preparar tu propia comida....el baño de el segundo piso no tiene una cortina para privacidad y los vecinos podían mirar a nuestros hijos usar el WC....y eso los iso sentir incómodos ojalá y puedan mejorar lo antes mencionado .....gracias

Cozy cabin Positive: Lots of room and very kid friendly (bunk beds, games, crayons, etc.). Parking was easy and property was well maintained. Lori was attentive and provided all necessary information up front. Beds, blankets, and towels were super cozy and plentiful. The appliances worked well and lots of dishes provided for use. The heater worked great! Negative: This home is very dated and many of the images are of a center that is not on the property. The carpet, lounge chairs, and many appliances and fixtures throughout the home are easily from the 70’s-80’s (fine for a bathroom, I’d hate to imagine the actual cleanliness of the carpet and upholstery). The downstairs bathroom had a plastic sheet shower curtain (no door as in the picture) that did not keep the floor dry. The “HOA amenities” are a 10min drive away and cannot be accessed without paying 20$ per person each time you want to go. So we didn’t. But the Trout Creek Center looked nice!

Positive: Cabin amenities and location Negative: Private pool and hot tub were located in a facility far from the house and not included in the price

For someone who loves old fashioned house, this is perfect choice. Positive: Location is close to everywhere. House manager (Lori) is super helpful & prompt response. Negative: Is an old house, photos looks decent. Upstairs toilet is inconvenient to take bath, 8 of us have to take turn to use downstairs toilet. The beds are comfortable with cozy blankets
