    Rustic is a fair description but not a problem. The house served our needs well. Our favorite part was the large dining room. We could all enjoy meals together, always essential on our family gatherings. The oven door didn't close properly but we managed to prop it closed to use it. Property manager immediately responded to our concerns. It was a hot week so she purchased and delivered fans for each bedroom. The downstairs den was a great retreat for kids. There are many stairs to the house and bedrooms, just be prepared to get your exercise. Overall a very satisfying stay.

    The property itself is rustic and beautiful. Digital communication prior was on time and detailed but we did not get a response from a property manager until after we checked out. Overall a good stay.

    We recently had a wonderful vacation at Donner Lake. The house is well furnitured, clean and very nice inside . it's perfect for a large crowd and not too far away from everything . Our family is very active so the stairs were not a problem for us but , I could see if others were less fit or active it would be a problem. Overall a perfect week for us.

    We loved the location of this property enjoyed the views of the lake and Castle peak. The listing is accurate that the cabin is older. The carpet is very thick and holds a lot of dust. Bathrooms are updated nicely. There are a lot of stairs! I didn’t mind it but could see how it could be a problem for someone older.

    The property itself was average. Outside, on the deck, was filthy. Communication with Evolve was poor, and it was absolutely terrible with the property manager/owner. We are still trying to get communication from the property Manager/owner because we left an item at the house and we want to retrieve it. Very frustrating. We worry that we won’t be able to get this item back and it was valuable to our grandson.

    Great accommodations for family. Kitchen, dining area (large table), bedrooms, beds & bathrooms were great. Outside decks were wonderful places to sit and talk. Downsides are number of steps, very difficult parking & initial musty smell. May book again.

    Overall, very nice place. Listing says steps required to access property -- true, but a bit understated. There is one steep flight up from the street, then a less steep flight to to lower level of the house. Once inside another steep flight to the living area, then another steep flight to bedrooms 4 and 5.

    Our family of 6 had a very comfortable stay at this large home. At 81 years old, I found the 61 steps to the main level to be a doable task.

    Quaint, spacious cabin at donner lake. We enjoyed our stay. Property can get hot in the summer, could use another window screen or screen door.
