The cabin had a bunch of games, books and a great backyard with spa,bbq and gas fire pit perfect for roasting marshmallows with the kids. The host was easy to reach and responded quickly to any questions we had. I would 100% recommend this cabin and our family would love to stay here again.

Everything you would want for a snow cabin experience and more. Everything worked, there were plenty of household appliances and the fireplace pumped some heat!

Wonderful house in Truckee

This is a great place in Truckee. The Armstrong Tract is a hidden secret, and it is high up on the hill, so there are great views. The house is spacious, the driveway is large enough for cars and to play cornhole, and the grill and spa are perfect in all seasons. Will definitely stay again.

We really enjoyed this cabin because two families with kids had plenty of space to be comfortable.

We're already booked to go back again and looking forward to it!

We had a great time staying here and it had everything we needed for our family of five. The kids loved all the games that were there and the beds were comfy and warm after full day of skiing and sledding. Apres ski in the hot tub while the snow was falling was especially great.

This was the perfect house for us( 2 adults, 1 son, and 1 4-legged son). Mel's house was had everything we needed. The fenced in back yard was perfect for our dog. It was centrally located to all of our favorite places: restaurants, hikes, and of course the Lake. I am currently at home already daydreaming of next years trip and booking our stay with Mel.

I have to say the host was great in thier communication. The roads were closed on our original date so the host was kind enough to move our date to the right for no extra charge. We were only staying for one night after a day of snow tubing, for us the main amenity was the hot tub , mainly for our 6 year old daughter who had never got to experience one. Unfortunately, the hot tub looks like it was never even prepped for the winter. There was mold everywhere and the water was so cloudy and murky. Not fit for humans, it ruined the overnight stay. While the host refunded the cleaning fees, I would have gladly paid for my daughtwr to have the experiencewe set out for .

Wonderful Tahoe Home

We had an absolutely great time staying in Mel and Sal's place. This is the fourth Tahoe-Donner rental we have stayed in and this was the best experience overall. The home is very comfortable and has all of the amenities you can think of. Mel and Sal texted us to ensure we had everything we needed. Location was extremely convenient, more so than other places we stayed. We hiked and sledded in a beautiful area about one block from the home, then enjoyed their wonderful hot tub while it snowed. We highly recommend it!

Cozy Cabin

Nice layout of rooms Clean Quiet neighborhood. Close to everything. We loved our stay. We did alert the owner that the surface of bathroom tub was very slippery. It was very easy to fall when wet and soapy. Use with caution or use a tub mat. That being said, I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. Donner Lake is the place to be, and this place was terrific.

Perfect family cabin

We loved the cabin! Warm cozy and clean inside. Perfect for our family of 5. The kids bunk room had a fun array of games for our teens. Kitchen had everything we needed for cooking. The hot tub was a great spot to relax after skiing! We really enjoyed snowshoeing and cross country skiing around Donner Lake Stare Park- just across the main road from the neighborhood that the cabin is in. Mel was so communicative and answered all my questions before and during our trip. Check in and out were easy!

This was a wonderful home for a vacation with dogs. Great location and fully appointed.

My husband and I spent the month of August at Bliss Cabin with our two golden retrievers, and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Our goal was to escape the desert heat, and our mission was accomplished. The location is great; so close to Donner Lake, Downtown Truckee and an easy drive to Lake Tahoe. Our dogs loved the fenced backyard, and there was plenty of room to stay comfortably for an extended period. From nice, thick towels to super comfortable beds, we had no complaints about anything. We truly had all the comforts of home. I wouldn't think twice about staying here again. Thanks, Melanie!
