Close to ski resort which was nice since the lodge at the resort is closed. Skiers were able to come back to the house for a lunch break and then head back to ski with no problem. The house had everything we needed and then some. ##### Karen M.

The home is well equipped and wonderfully comfortable. During our December stay we received a TON of snow and the driveway and roads were plowed and kept clear. ##### Robert F. Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2024 From a partner site ### 8/10 Good #### Danielle H. 19 Apr 2024 #### Great location and lovely home Great location near X country center and Truckee. Loved the woods in back. Just a few updates would make it stellar! Still very cozy and well appointed! Nice having a garage for car! ##### Danielle H.

This is nothing against the cabin, but there is no fenced area outside for dogs except for the wooden decks. I believe this may be the case for all of Tahoe Donner? Also you must be able to handle stairs with no issue. As long as this works you will have a lovely time. very quiet with beautiful local views. ##### Greg J. Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 From a partner site ### 8/10 Good #### kristine H. 7 Feb 2024 #### A delightful home! We loved the location and accommodations of this house. While being stuck in a snow storm, the driveway and roads were plowed twice a day. The garage was available for our vehicle and extra snow gear was labeled and accessible. We felt very comfortable and glad to be there. ##### kristine H. Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2024 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Sean H. 25 Feb 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness #### Great place but dog hair The house is very nice overall. Good bedrooms, nice amenities. The listing does say dogs are allowed, but I did expect it to be cleaner. There is white dog hair all over the house, and it gets on every single piece of clothing, unfortunately. The house needs a deep clean to get rid of it all. ##### Sean H. Stayed 6 nights in Feb 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rachael S. 23 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Awesome Setup for 2 Families! We loved our stay at the Chic Chalet! The house setup was perfect with one large primary bedroom upstairs and 2 nice sized bedrooms downstairs - great for our two families. The house is easy to get to and the driveway is a very gentle slope, which was perfect during the snowy weather. The house backs up to a small creek, and our kids had a blast stomping around in the snow. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook and the living room was stocked with games for all ages! The house has tons of large windows and is fun and cozy! Overall we had a great stay!!Just a few things to note for other travelers: it is a pet-friendly property and though it was well cleaned when we got there, two of our friends had their allergies flare up. For coffee makers, there's a Keurig and a French Press/electric kettle. We brought coffee ground for a regular coffee machine but just used it in the press and it worked great! Last thing: bring sleep masks if you like it super dark at night. The neighbor's lights are quite bright (but he was also a very nice guy!). None of these things affected our stay, just thought it'd be helpful for others! :) ##### Rachael S.

Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2023 From a partner site ### 6/10 Okay #### Sandy S. 20 Jul 2025 #### Needs Attention and Deep Cleaning While comfortable enough however the furniture was very worn and torn, bad carpet stains throughout, broken burner on stove. Great WiFi and appreciated gas grill connected to internal gas line. ##### Sandy S. From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jiale Z. 19 Jan 2023 #### Very supportive host We got stranded in snow on our way. The host and Vacasa were very supportive and responsive for our requests. We had a great time. The home is very comfortable and has all the things we need. There’s a team cleaning up snows every morning (2 ft inch of snow!) ##### Jiale Z. From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### Eric H. 1 Apr 2024 #### Beautiful house great location Hard to beat the ease of access to Tahoe Donner X country or downhill. House is well kept and a bright, welcoming open floor plan. Only minor complaint was the mattress in the rear downstairs bedroom is a bit warped and could use replacement. One tip - it is possible (and helpful) to turn around in the driveway to ease getting in and out on to the road - just requires a five point turn. ##### Eric H. From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andre B. 4 Feb 2023 #### Great snowy cabin Tahoe Donner area is awesome for pretty much everything. We enjoyed playing in the snow with kids, tubing at a close by resort and skiing. The cabin has pretty much everything you need and then some. I would stay there again. ##### Andre B.

We had the best time staying here for the weekend. It was clean and comfortable. There was a lot of area outside to play in the snow which we did a lot of! We stayed during a winter storm so it was a nice touch that the driveway was plowed and there was garage space to park! The home is fully stocked with everything you would ever need in the kitchen. They even had a whole shelf of games and activities for the kids. Definitely would recommend this home to anyone! ##### Jennifer D.
