Perfect for our needs
We came a day late because of weather and traffic, so check in during daylight was very easy. The cabin is just as described (except the bigger bedroom is downstairs not upstairs). This was perfect set up for us because we were celebrating my parent's 50th wedding anniversary. It was great to have a large bed and full bathroom on the main level. The open concept was inclusive and still cozy. The kitchen was well stocked. The place was still decorated for Christmas, which added to the charm. The weather was pretty bad, so we spent a lot more time inside than we normally would have, so we really appreciated all the little details (warm, comfortable, accessible, etc). My parents are still able-bodied, so it wasn't an issue for us, but the path from the driveway to the cabin is dirt and not well lit. The few stairs up to the deck don't have a proper handrail, and it's all very dark if you don't know where stuff is. We didn't have any problems, but we checked in during the day and left the porch lights on for ourselves in the evening. Check out was possibly the easiest I've ever experienced. Overall, it was a wonderful, memory-making experience!

Great time at Camp Howdy again!
This is our second time at Camp Howdy, it's a cozy place with everything we needed, very warm and comfortable. We love to be able to hike around behind the house during big snowfalls. Will definitely be back!

Clean house in very good location.
The location was great with easy access from the main road. The initial impression was good when open the door - well decorated and cozy atmosphere. The kitchen is remodeled and well-equipped but wished for newer cookwares because some of them were worn out quite badly. Also experienced great service from the rental agent when I couldn’t turn on the facet in a bathroom. Although I messaged them late evening, they responded very quickly to help me out and it was resolved soon.

Going back.
Camp Howdy was fantastic! My family and I had a wonderful long weekend enjoying Truckee and this lovely cabin. It has everything you need to relax, cook lovely meals, and create memories. We were so appreciative that we were able to get a late check out on Sunday allowing us one more lovely morning.

This was the perfect place
This was the perfect place for our 2 families of 4 adults and 2 kids. I've stayed in a lot of Tahoe rentals, and this is the best so far for this size group. It was really important to us to find a house with 2 bathrooms that were NOT en suite, as that puts everyone but one couple at a disadvantage. So that box was checked. What we loved specifically about this house is that it has beautifully updated kitchen and bathrooms, excellent furniture that was both comfy and there was enough of it, and it had lots of charm and character without all the tired Tahoe cliches (e.g., bears everywhere). It felt like the owners really thought about what people would like and included it, but didn't throw stuff in to be "cute". It was also sparkling clean. The location was awesome for proximity to Truckee and Sugarbowl, where we skied. We definitely plan to return.

Well set up house
We've stayed all over this neighborhood and this was the most convenient location yet. The house is updated and although not very large, fit our family of 5 perfectly. Lots of open space for snow play, easy in and out from Northwoods Blvd, and a well set up house.

Loved Camp Howdy!
Thank you for a wonderful couple of days away in Tahoe! We loved the cabin, it was comfortable, clean and had almost everything we needed. While the TV media wasn’t as high tech as we are used to, it was probably for the better.....we played more games and read more books! The location was perfect and we will definitely check back next winter to stay in one of your rentals in the area. Thanks!

Excellent
We had such a wonderful cozy stay at camp howdy!! Right away when we walked in we were so happy with how clean and cute it was. The attention to detail in the decor made everything feel so quaint and homey. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed. They had the snow shoveled off the deck from a snow removal company, all we had to do was sit next to the big fireplace and chill after our snowplow. This was the smallest cabin we have stayed in but was great and we didn't feel crowded at all. We would stay at camp howdy again.

Our second stay did not disappoint!
Our second stay did not disappoint! My only suggestion is more paper products. It was our experience this summer that there wasn’t enough TP or paper towels. We were prepared and brought extra this time and they were needed. Everything else is just the best!

Definitely hope to come back.
We really enjoyed our stay at Camp Howdy. This is a fairly modestly sized cabin, but perfect for groups 6 and under. It was just three of us up there, and it was very cozy, warm and inviting. Well equipped. Great location as well. Definitely hope to come back

A great place!
My family and I just got back from Camp Howdy and we had a terrific time. Our family tends to cook most meals at home in the places we stay, and the kitchen was very well stocked with every pot, pan , & utensil you would need. The grill was great too. The house was cozy and spacious enough for our 3 generation family of 5, with the grandparents staying on the ground floor, and the rest above. One grandparent is a little less mobile, and we were able to be navigate here fairly well—there are about 6 steps up to the house/front deck. This is a lot less than other houses of their kind in this area. Beds were all quite comfortable. Traffic noise from the highway is audible but not annoying, and the location is very close to shops and Donner Lake, while still being a quiet street. Hoping to return again in the future.
