My family and I rented this house from June 4-June 6 and loved everything about it. The house and all of it's amenities are top of the line. From the stainless steal appliances in the kitchen to the heated floors in the bathrooms! And the location could not have been better - an easy drive to downtown Truckee, but right across the street from the lake. Every single one of us spent our share of time enjoying the view and the scenery from the 2nd floor balcony. Also, Alan was great to work with and made everything very easy for us. We will definitely be back!!

What a great time. We had a wonderful Easter here. It snowed and the sun was out. The grandkids skied, and tubbed, we even played baseball across the street. Very peaceful. We all had such a nice time. The house is very beautiful. We hope to come back again.

Dear Jessica and Chris, Thank you for sharing your lovely, comfy and amazing view of Donner Lake home. Your kitchen was great with five cooks-our turkey and trimmings turned out awsome. We took many hikes around the lake-although we were hoping for a "white Thanksgiving", the sunshine on the lake was so pleasant!! Cheers to 2009!!
