Zermatt, Tahoe Donner Lease
Hi Pat,
Now that I have finally had a moment to catch my breath, I just wanted to tell you what a wonderful trip we had to Tahoe last week. Your VRBO site certainly doesn't do the house justice and I will be sure to write some positive comments there. Everything was great and it was definitely one of the nicest houses we have stayed in (especially the kitchen).
Rent for 1 week this Spring and your nightly rate is as little as $357.00 per night plus tax & cleaning. NEW! DVR with HBO, Pay-Per-View (you will be billed accordingly) and The Music Channels also FREE unlimited Long Distance. NEW 55" LCD in Livingroom with Play Staion 3 and a Blu-Ray player. If you subscribe to NetFlix and you would like to stream your own queue of movies please let us know and we can accomodate you with advance planning. With all that said, "Welcome to our new (5 years old) home in Tahoe Donner". This beautiful home has a lot of special features, it was built by the developer to be his own. It is approximately 3500 square feet and has 5 bedrooms with 5 bathrooms, sleeps 15, and has approximately 1000 square feet of decks with a private hot tub. The Driveway is Level and the entrance into the house has no steps. Our home is just 20 minutes from all of the major ski resorts, including Squaw Valley, Alpine Meadows, Northstar, Sugar Bowl & Boreal Ridge. It backs up to an open space meadow with many trails including a trail that is a seven-minute walk to the Trout Creek Recreation Center with swimming pools, hot tubs, hot and dry saunas, a large gym, golf driving range, sledding park, playground, tennis, a New Clubhouse Restaurant, and much more.
It is just five minutes from Highway 80 and 30 minutes from the Reno Airport. Golf is a four-minute drive to either Tahoe Donner Golf Course, or Coyote Moon Golf Course. We have 5 Bdrms 5 Bathrooms equaling 4 Masters made up of 2 Kings and 2 Queens. One of the Queen rooms is a walk through to kids attached Bdrm(s)combined with an entertainment room and a Very Fun & Brand New Air Hockey Table. Ping Pong in the Garage.
Handicapped? Because our house has no steps to get in and we have a sleeper sofa on the main floor with a 1/2 bath, there is a possibility for a stay with someone that can't do stairs. However, we are not promoting this house as equipped for a handicapped person. Our floor plan is also not very conducive for wheelchair use. Therefore any consideration of use by a handicapped person would need to be discussed before booking our home.
This is NOT a party house! The amount of people staying at the house should always be the maximum amount of people in the house. No smoking, No Pets, No exceptions.
Caution! In the Winter time if you cross over the trail behind the house there are icy ponds and streams under the snow. Please watch your children and stay on the trail!
Make it the perfect vacation and consider my other home in the San Francisco Bay Area. VRBO # 200615

Thank you so much for renting us your wonderful house. It was much bigger than the photos showed, and we were also surprised by how great the kitchen was. We did lots of cooking over the weekend and always found whatever appliance or dish or utensil we needed. It's a cook's kitchen. Thanks again. We'd love to rent from you again next year!

Hi Pat & Joe ~ Just wanted to drop a note to you saying we had a WONDERFUL TIME staying in your home. The kids went nuts when they saw the room they were staying in...with the popular air hockey game...and the fact that it was *sans* parents. The named it the *game room*. We had a great time ...and pretty much right outside the door...which is what we did! We ended up making pretty much a luge (sp???) run down the left side of the house. We left a couple of snow toys there in the garage...an inner tube and a flexible boogie board. Ron, show snow boards, made a trail/track for the boys along side the open meadow area to let them get the hang of it...which we have photos of and will send to you. We had snpowball fights, there is a wonderful snowman built on your deck (your neighbors...quite delightful) really liked it, and the kids...as well as adults...had a blast going down our *luge* run. FYI...the inner tubes work better than the sleds because they bank better. The bear in the corner was adorable, but I kept thinking it was a kid standing there, so I finally had to turn it around to face the wall! At least that looked more natural!! We left ice in the freezer, and a few items in the fridge and cupboards. I'll send you photos as soon as we get them all together. We would love to do this again sometime...and maybe while there is still snow. Do you have any clue when the snow starts to really vanish?? Thank you again for allowing us a wonderful family opportunity. The kids will remember this forever as will the adults. It was more than memorable in SO many ways. As a result of this trip, we all have bonded in a very unique way. OH...and Jack had a very memorable 7th birthday, too! Thanks again...and I'll be in touch soon. Take care ~ Patti, Bill, Maria, Lis, Ron, Regina, Chris, Cassie, Nikki, Anthony, Davida, Roland, & Birthday Boy Jack...

August 2005 Nina, You home is beautiful and the location was wonderful to create new and lasting memories for one family. Even though we were renters, your communication and hospitality treated us as friends. It was a great place to have a mini-family reunion. Thanks from The Nolan Family, Oak Hill, Virginia

We are so grateful to have the opportunity to have our family reunion in your beautiful mountain home. My family is from S.A., CA., and we spend many weekends skiing here in the Tahoe area, especially North Star. Since we are so familiar with the whole Tahoe region, making arrangements for all the activities around the lake went quite smooth. Our extended family enjoyed hikes, golfing, horseback riding, swimming, boating, and para-sailing. Of course, we enjoyed dinning out—and “in.” Your beautiful kitchen was a joy for preparing, serving wonderful meals. Thank you again for sharing this wonderful home with us for a week of fun, relaxation, and reconnection with our extended family.Sincerely,B. Mc Castin & family
