Great snow trip cabin
Trip early Feb. Had a great experience. Place felt spacious. Plenty of cookware and flatware for large family groups. We did hot pot. Host responds quickly to questions. The have a binder that explains things in the home and in the area. The cabin was maybe 1.5 miles going uphill from the base close to shops. There was a lot of snow around the cabin which was a plus. The area around the base of Donnor lake had very little snow at the time.

Clean and good location, lacks finer details of a good rental
The property was clean and well located, a few TLC could items make this worth five stars but currently it isn't. Lighting in the bedrooms and kitchen was very dim, and didn't feel inviting.Kitchen faucet drips, felt like I was constantly adjusting the handle to try to get it to stop.When we arrived the staircase was covered in a couple feet of snow, which would have been fine if there had been access to a shovel, instead we were digging out stairs with a sled.All knives at a VRBO are bad, but these could be the worst yet. Bring your own if you plan to cook.

Cozy cabin
We really enjoyed our stay at Wildhorn Cabin. It was very clean and well equipped. The beds are comfortable. The layout is very nice for a family. The kitchen had everything we needed for making meals (just be aware there is no coffee grinder!). Location was excellent. We hope to return.

Clean comfortable family retreat
Good place to stay in Tahoe Donner. 3 good bedrooms, 2 with King beds and one with Queen and bunks. All good, comfortable mattresses for a good night sleep after a workout on the ski slopes. 4th bedroom is up an outdoor set of stairs and then into loft above garage and was locked during our stay, but I think that one wouldn't be practical in the winter. Kitchen is a bit small but workable and well equipped. Overall we had a great stay.

Enjoyed a great weekend with friends during the epic snow in late winter of 2023. Easy to access, even with all the snow. Cabin is well appointed and clean and the host was accommodating and lovely. Would rent again when in the Truckee area.

Perfect cabin for 2 families.
We had a total of 9 and everyone had a comfortable bed to sleep in. The cabin feels very cozy and private. We enjoyed sitting on the patio at night to star gaze. Safeway close by was very nice and a short drive to Donner lake was awesome. Made a perfect family retreat for us!!

Perfect base camp for family trip
We had a group of eight ranging from 7 to 75 and Wildhorn Cabin could not have been more perfect for us. Proximity to downtown Truckee as well as Tahoe made for a great weekend. The cabin was well stocked and clean. The deck is amazing and was the perfect spot to play games or just hang out. The beds were all very comfortable. It was really nice to have such great communication with the owner prior to the trip, Patricia is great. Our family has already talked about coming back to experience the cabin during the winter months.
