Loved Camp Howdy!

by Dawn Aotani
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!

Great time at Camp Howdy again!

by Sara Hinkley
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.

by Chan Hong Park
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.

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

by Star Lightner
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

by Harry Holstrom
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.

We loved staying at camp howdy!

by Marissa Massey
We loved staying at camp howdy! It was clean and very homey with all the things we needed to make our stay nice and relaxed. It was the smallest cabin we have stayed in but didn\'t feel cramped at all . It was a cute , quaint , nicely decorated cabin with all the attention to detail. We would stay at camp howdy again the beds were very comfy and we had a wonderful night\'s sleep.

Our second stay did not disappoint!

by Jo Anne Vidal
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!

Excellent

by Marissa Massey
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.

Definitely hope to come back

by Peter Emblad
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

by Jessica Mauch
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 confortable. 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.
