This was a lovely home with a wonderfully equipped kitchen opening into a great room. We found it perfect for our group to hang out in together for hours cooking, reading and spending time together after long days of skiing. Thanks to John and Diane for making our trip so special!

The Perfect Summer Vacation

We spent fourteen glorious days in August 2010 enjoying this beautiful hilltop home. The kitchen is well appointed for the gourmet chef. The views from the deck are spectacular. We never ran out of great things to do at Tahoe Donner and Donner Lake. We would rent this lovely home again in a heartbeat.

Perfect Retreat for Family Vacation

We had fun filled days in the mountains enjoying biking, horseback riding, kayaking, swimming, tennis, rafting, jet skiing, and ice cream!! This is a very conveniently located, meticulously appointed retreat that is just minutes away from countless activities. Located in a quiet Tahoe Donner neighborhood with spectacular views of the setting sun over the Pacific Crest from the living room and adjoining deck. The house is well suited for families with two bedrooms, family/TV room, and game filled closet on the lower level and a peaceful open floor plan and master bedroom with deck on the upper level. The home owners association provides inexpensive tennis, golf, swimming, and horseback riding lessons for kids that gave us morning time for long bike rides and hikes. This was a perfect combination of long active summer daytime family fun and relaxing evening cocktails and dinner with a spectacular view of the Sierra Mountains, setting sun, and a star filled night sky.

We had a great time celebrating our cookie sale trip! Kayaking in Emerald Bay, river rafting the lower Truckee, hiking to Eagle Lake for a picnic lunch--enjoying the pool and beach. The house worked out great and we enjoyed the views during our many dinners. Thank you for sharing

We very much enjoyed your lovely cabin. We saw shooting stars, the Milky Way, and deer 2 or 3 times. Enjoyed Kings Beach, rafting down the Truckee and horseback riding. Would have liked to use the Jacuzzi tub more but kids got there first! Thank you!

Your home is such a beautiful place and the view is so cool! The mountains and wilderness, beautiful paradise! I wish I lived here and according to all the other guests, who bothered to comment, they would want to as well. Thanks again!

As you can see from messages from the kids we had a great time. Your home is beautiful, and the view was great. It got very warm here this week so we enjoyed the pool. Saw the 4th of July fireworks at Donner Lake. Very nice and relaxing. Thank you for opening up your home; we really enjoyed our stay.

Wow! What a beautiful home with a truly amazing view all around! We had a very relaxing 4 day getaway with our toddler. ( For those who have young kids this is a rare occasion). There are plenty of spaces to venture around inside and out. We also enjoyed your music collection. It put us right into a calming mood. Thank you so much!
