Tahoe Donner is a quaint, family oriented community. Tahoe Donner is perfectly situated near some of the best ski resorts in Tahoe. This includes North Star, Palisades, and Sugar Bowl. We are on a major road with good snow plowing and clearing during the winter months. In the summer, it's only a 10 minute drive down to Donner Lake. There are also tons of running and biking trails right down the street, in addition to a beautiful golf course.

Guests will have full and private access to the entire home and its amenities, including the private hot tub, patios, and game areas. The only exceptions are a few locked owner's closets and cabinets, which are clearly marked for storage. Feel free to make yourselves completely at home.

The driveway can fit up to 4 cars and there is room for 1 car in the garage.

Annual Snow Trip

This house worked out great for our family - three generations. The kids room with bunk beds was set up great and really worked well with all the kids. The house set-up is ideal for multiple families with lots of kids. We enjoyed our stay.

Best of both worlds

The house was awesome. From the easy check in to the cleanliness, to the response time from the host. It helped the weekend to be relaxing and comfortable. If you are looking for a house that feels secluded and quiet in the mountains but also close to everything you need/want then look no further. This was the perfect house.

Large pet friendly house in Tahoe Donner

The house was great for our large family and two dogs. Lots of beds, fully stocked kitchen,and very clean. Communication with the owner was easy and quick. No A/C but that's only an issue on very hot days. We would stay here again.

So sorry about your struggles with ants during your stay, Colleen! Being in the woods, the ants like to share the homes with guests every once in a while, though we did take care of it as soon as we could after your departure. We are glad to hear you were able to enjoy the home!

Amazing family vacation home.

We loved every minute of our stay in this property. I loved how the host took care of every possible need and scenario. The house is well stocked with everything right from games to baby high chair. The hot tub in the back was an added bonus. We will definitely be come back again. Host was very quick to respond to our any query and went out of the way to make sure that we were all covered when there was a snow storm coming.

Great place for the family, kids and fur-babies

The cabin is great, clean, spacious and very well equipped. The VRBO photos and description(s) are spot on. The communication with the host(s) was excellent and they were very responsive and helpful. Kitchen has plenty of utensils, plates, cookware, etc. Hot tub was great and modern. Home electronics, appliances, showers, toilets, washer, dryer, heater - all fully functional with no trouble. The property is in a nice and accessible neighborhood. The only criticism I have is that the mattresses are a little firm compared to what I'm used to, but this is just a personal preference, and not an issue/problem with the cabin. This was also one of the few cabins I could find that allowed dogs to stay, and our dog loved the cabin too. Our family had a wonderful time ... and most importantly, our 2 kids (ages 12 and 14) gave this cabin big thumbs up. We would not hesitate to stay here again!

Gorgeous home, wonderful amenities, great location

We loved our stay at this home in the Tahoe Donner community and would love to come back. Living in the SF bay area, we are frequent visitors to Tahoe and have a pretty good sense for what to expect. So it is rare for us to be surprised, and this home managed to do that: the pictures don't do justice to the condition and amenities in this home. We loved how bright it is, with great views from every room in the home (including from the basement). Our kids absolutely loved the kids bunk beds in the basement, and the many entertainment options (board games! foosball!). Given we were traveling with a group, we appreciated the number of bedrooms and how well they are laid out, giving us all enough privacy and quiet when we wanted it. The common living area is generous and perfect for groups to hang out, with plenty of space on the couch around the fireplace, and plenty of seats at the dining table. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed, and the hot tub in the backyard was an unexpected surprise - it was really cold this past week so we didn't expect to use it, but since we were a little cooped up (too lazy to even get out on the roads with the amount of snow), we had a blast in the jacuzzi under the snow clad trees. We found the home to be in immaculate condition. My wife is a neat freak and we've had a couple of bad experiences in the past, where it was clear that a short term rental home was being operated purely as a rental with corners being cut on cleaning and upkeep. Thankfully, this home is the opposite: it was in perfect condition, and the owners are clearly ensuring that it is welcoming and tidy. The home also felt much warmer than some other homes we've stayed in that felt very drafty due to their age - it was super cold these past few days but we were cozy and comfortable. Overall, I don't have any negatives to think of. One reason we booked this home was its proximity to the ski resorts we wanted to visit near Truckee, but we couldn't get much ski time due to the weather. While we wished the weather was better (all of Tahoe was hunkering down due to an unusual winter storm)... if we do end up being homebound due to weather, we hope it will be in a home like this!

Wow we cannot thank you enough for taking the time to write such a thoughtful and kind review of your stay! We absolutely love to hear when our guests have a great stay with us, and are so glad to hear you and your group were so pleased and comfortable during your stay. Such a bummer you couldn't get any skiing in, but please keep us in mind when you return - we would love to host you again! Thank you so much again, for staying with us and for being a great guest!
