Winter Weather:
Please note that winter weather in the Tahoe National Forest can bring heavy snowfall. The Wildwood Cabin is conveniently situated before Donner Pass for travelers coming from San Francisco or Sacramento. For guests coming from these locations, you also avoid traffic in Truckee.
The cabin is located on a community plowed and paved road. The driveway is also plowed once a week, which may occur before, during, or after your stay. During heavy snowstorms, you may need to shovel out your cars and walk through some snow (heavy snowfall can bring a few feet of snow) to access the cabin. Always check local road conditions and follow recommended guidelines, including carrying snow chains.
Please be aware that smoking is not allowed, and no pets are permitted. The Wildwood Cabin is equipped with exterior cameras.
I came with a group of 7 friends for a ski weekend, and while the weather threw us a bit of a curve ball, we had a great weekend and really enjoyed the Wildwood! We found it to be very comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook group meals. The one wrinkle was that the driveway had about a foot of snow in it when we arrived and the snowplow guy didn't come until later - we did manage to find the shovels though!
Very great cabin to stay with a family. I loved the location that we were able to take our kids for a walk right there without having to drive anywhere because it can be challenging with small kids. Very clean and comfortable! Highly recommend
Such a beautiful place in a great location. The check in process was smooth and the cabin even has extra beds and blankets.
