because that's about all that's lacking here! If this were my second home I don't know if I'd be able to allow strangers to use it. It is beautiful, comfortable, well decorated, tasteful, spacious - there aren't enough words to describe it. I would absolutely recommend it to any of my friends! Thank you for a marvelous "get-away"!

My friends and I enjoyed our stay in August. The house is comfortable, spacious, and very well-maintained, with a great, well-stocked kitchen. We loved spending time on the deck, enjoying the views of the mountains and trees. the location is also great--easy walking distance to the West End beach at Donner Lake. We'll be back.
Owner response:We are delighted to hear how much you enjoyed your stay at our home. Your comments are very complimentary. We share your feelings with regards to the beautiful surroundings. We would be very pleased to have you return again sometime soon. Doug & Fran Nord

We spent five lovely days at Snow Dance Place during our daughter's wedding in the area. We found the house to be extremely comfortable in all respects - layout, design, furniture, and equipment. The spaciousness of the house gave everyone plenty of room and privacy, and the many beautiful seating areas plenty of opportunity to hang out together. Highly recommended.
Owner response:Ralph, Thank you for your superb compliments regarding your highly enjoyable stay at our home. We are looking forward to your return at sometime in the future. Douglas & Frances Nord

We just enjoyed Memorial Day 2009 at the Nord Family's beautiful home. We arrived very late at night but found it the 1st try with the assistance of excellent directions. The next morning we were so excited to open the window blinds and it was like opening Christmas presents to see each wonderful surprise that each window held. Beautiful Lake views, trees, snow capped mountains, the train snow shed, the train going by. It was a wonderful relaxing stay and we cannot wait to come back. The home was meticulously appointed and comfortable beyond anything we expected. Thank you.
Owner response:Wendy, We are thrilled you and your son Ryan enjoyed our home and were excited to see the view behind each window blind. Each window does hold its own unique & beautiful view. Hope you will come back soon. Doug & Fran

We stayed at the Snowdance home at the end of January with our family, my sister's family and five kids all under the age of 5. We had a WONDERFUL time!!! Your home is so comfortable and spacious! We could all spread out and cooking in your beautifully appointed kitchen was a dream. With two families, we loved that there were two master bedrooms, and there was plenty of room for the kids and Grandma too. It was a winter wonderland of snow the weekend we visited. Since the house is perfectly situated at the end of a cul-de-sac, we actually took the kids sledding right down the driveway. It was like our own little private snow park! The kids had a blast! I highly recommend your home, and we can't wait to visit in the summer too. :-)
Owner response:We are delighted to hear the extent to which you and your family enjoyed our home and the surroundings. We welcome you back in the summer. With warmest best regards, Doug & Fran Nord

We stayed at Snowdance for New Year's and we had an amazing time. My boyfriend and I and a few friends had one of the best trips that I could've ever planned. It was very memorable and your house is soooo beautiful. The pictures on your website really don't do your house any justice. I would love to stay here again.
Owner response:Michelle, Thank you so much for your wonderful comment! You could not have given us a better or more appreciated compliment. We are glad you, your boyfriend and friends were able to thoroughly enjoy yourselves. Please come again!! Douglas & Frances Nord

We had a wonderful stay at Snowdance! A truly comfortable home, though we lived on that spectacular deck! We were blessed with a wonderful Thunderstorm to be followed by an amazing sunset and then two days of glorious sunshine. Views to die for and walking distance to the lake. A perfect location and so peaceful and quiet. We will be back!
Owner response:We are so happy you had a wonderful stay. The weather can be changeable and beautiful. I particularly love the nights when one feels they can almost touch the Milky Way. Please come again, relax and enjoy the peace and quiet and sounds of nature. The Nord Family

Just got back from a glorious summer break at the Nord's lovely lake home. If you are looking for heavenly silence (except for the lovely sound of birds & crickets) and GORGEOUS views of the mountains and lake...then this is the place for you!! Very comfortable home with all of the conveniences. It was hard to leave!!
Owner response:Thank you so much for your very lovely comments. It is very peaceful here and at times besides listening to the birds, one can see a Western Tanager, Evening Grosbeak, Stellar Jay, and Mountain Chickadees. Today, August 11th, two deer were seen behind the house enjoying a breakfast of plants and flowers. On some very clear summer evenings, the Milky Way is a beautiful sight. Frances Nord, Owner

Having stayed here twice, I must say that the pictures on this page do NOT do justice to this ABSOLUTELY GEORGEOUS and VERY LARGE jewel of a house (very evidently designed and built with love and passion in every detail) nestled into some of the worlds most EXQUITE natural surroundings. From the moment you drive up, you are filled with a sense of luxurious peace that seems to pervade the architechture and decoration. Staying here is an effortless pleasure in the true spirit of the word "accomodation".
Owner response:Thank you so much for your marvelous comments regarding our treasure of a home. We did put a lot of love, labor and passion into it. Hope you will enjoy it again in the upcoming months. Fran
