There were 14 of us mothers and daughters for a girls weekend. This house was perfect for us. The photos presented are exactly like the house. We loved having the big spacious living area and eating area. We ate, drank, played cards and even did a little hiking at the near by trail. The owner was very helpful in pointing out all the activities available. I would recommend this house to everyone. It is perfect. Thank you for opening it up to us.

Terrific

This is a great home for a summer family vacation. My wife and I discovered Tahoe Donner in the late 70's and took our four children there four years in a row. We have now returned almost 30 years later with our adult children, their spouses and our seven grandchildren. The house is well equipped and worked perfectly. We really enjoyed all its extra amenities,(pool table, ping pong, basketball, bikes,games,movies etc.) We also enjoyed all the activities available to adults and children at Tahoe Donner: the beautiful Tahoe Donner golf course,the tennis club, Northwoods and Trout Creek clubhouses and pools, and boating on Lake Donner to mention a few. We also were able to spend an afternoon at the North shore of Lake Tahoe, and take a raft down the Truckee river. We enjoyed good family friendly restaurants in near-by Truckee as well as excellent meals at the Lodge Restaurant at the Tahoe Donner golf club. But our favorite meals were barbeques on the rear deck and dining among the pines.

The home was the focal point of our annual golf trip. This Tahoe Donner home is very clean and very comfortable with everything you need to feel at home. The rooms are spacious, has plenty of beds, baths and closets. Central location to all outdoor activities, golf, restaurants and Reno. Great communication with the home owners before and after the stay. We definitly look forward to returning next year!!

Tahoe Donner House a Perfect Retreat

Guest: Mary (Red Bluff, CA)

Our administrative team held a retreat here. The house is clean, spacious, nicely furnished, and has a well-equipped kitchen. The house and its location made it great for working, team-building, and relaxing. In early mornings and in the evenings our group took walks in the beautiful, quiet neighborhood and along nearby paths. And while shopping, dining, and entertainment were just a short drive away, we opted to spend our free time at this terrific property. I definitely recommend it!

GREAT house! Accommodated our group perfectly. Plenty of common area to socialize while still having lots of privacy. Kitchen was well stocked and perfect for feeding a hungry crowd! Would definitely stay here again!!

Nine years ago we were looking to find a ski cabin to share with a few good friends and family. We never thought we would find a place that we would want to go back to year after year. This wonderful cabin has been a refuge for our family that my kids treasure as a tradition. We love the fact that this place is spacious, centrally located and just beautiful. We look forward to making more memories here for years to come. Greg

Many of the gals we went to high school with get together yearly for "fun"! This home was the best of all we've found. What made it so? The setting, safe walking areas, sleeping accommodations for 17, plenty of utensils and well-equipped kitchen. The serenity of the surrounding area added to the overall feeling of being far away; yet shopping and activities are close by. We definitely would rent this home again!

The owner of this home anticipated all of our need and met or exceeded them. The home is very well-cared for, and had enough room for all of our extended family members. The setting is beautiful and quiet. It is close enough to Lake Tahoe and yet far enough from the over-commercialization of the area. We definitely thought it was a great value. My family had a wonderful time there and built great memories. We had no issue with setting up the rental, getting the keys and directions or getting our deposits back. We will definitely rent this home again if we have another vacation in Lake Tahoe.

We had 15 people (5 families) stay, and this home was roomy, clean and comfortable! Everyone had their own space but was able to come together for meals and socializing. Lots of linens, tasteful furnishings, and a well-stocked kitchen. It was a privilege to stay in this home!

We rented this home in July 2009 for our Stitt family reunion. The location was ideal for our purpose. The house made it easy for everyone to be together and also have separate space for privacy. We loved the house and particularly enjoyed the fabulous kitchen and gourmet meals prepared by our family cooking enthusiasts.

We had a fabulous time at Lake Tahoe in this home that comfortably accomodated our large group. It was in a great location. I was worried it would be far away from things, but it wasn't at all. We loved it! July 2008

The house is great. You had what we needed and I really appreciate your not cutting corners - lots of towels, soaps, etc. The girls loved it and even enjoyed the snow still there. April

I just wanted to express to you how wonderful your house is. All my friends were really impressed how well-stocked and kept up it was. The snow was incredible and we played in it to our hearts content. We are even thinking of making this an annual trip because the conditions were so very close to perfect. Feb 2008
