Beautifully done house. Very quiet and comfortable. I love seeing the trees in the snow right outside the door. My grandsons loved this house. It's well appointed including toys for children, games, and books. It had everything we needed, and I would definitely stay again.

We absolutely LOVED our stay at this cozy mountain home in Truckee. From the moment we walked in, it felt warm, inviting, and even more beautiful than the photos — they truly don’t do it justice. The home was extremely clean and very well maintained, which made everything feel comfortable and cared for.The layout was perfect for our group (6 adults), with three spacious bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms, giving everyone plenty of room to relax. The fireplace made the living area feel wonderfully cozy, and the den/office was a great bonus offering a quiet, private space when needed.The outdoor patio was one of our favorite spots. The seating was comfortable, the ski lift chair was such a charming touch, and the views from every window and angle were absolutely stunning. It felt like being wrapped in mountain scenery.Inside, the décor was beautifully done with a thoughtful mountain theme that made the whole home feel special. The kitchen was incredibly well stocked — glasses, mugs, dinnerware, pots, pans — everything we needed to cook meals and feel completely at home.This home exceeded our expectations in every way. Cozy, spacious, beautifully decorated, and perfectly maintained. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Great house in Tahoe Donner

We had a great stay in this wonderful home. The layout worked well with young kids - all bedrooms are on the second floor, so easy to hang out downstairs post bedtime and convenient for middle of the night wake ups. Great backyard and access to nature walking, and privacy from neighbors. We look forward to returning again!

Memorial Weekend Getaway.

My family & I were very comfortable staying at the property. The Scenery around the cabin were breathtaking. Overall, it is a great property for a family of 5 to stay at, and highly recommended. One take, families with large SUV's the curved uphill driveway is a bit tricky to maneuver. This property gets 5 starts & we will stay there again next time we are in the area. Gib

Light filled craftsman beauty

The house has wonderful views— gorgeous windows. Beds were very comfortable. Outdoor patio was very relaxing. Spacious sitting areas for large families. We loved our five night stay— many happy memories. FYI— two bedrooms are connected by a bathroom. If you love to cook, please bring all essential basics, example cooking oil, specific spices, etc. TV, and remotes are rather finicky.

Wonderful house with better than average appointments

We really like this property, it’s our second stay and we’re already thinking “we need to come back!” It’s more space than we actually need for the three of us, but we’ve learned how to spread out and enjoy. We’re overly ambitious cooks and this is the best equipped kitchen in a rental we’ve come across, but you still might need to bring some specialty items if needed (we missed our food processor for example). The host is wonderfully communicative and easy to work with. Thanks for the second wonderful stay!

GCC

We enjoyed our stay at GCC. The house was clean, comfortable, well stocked, and the layout of the house provided the necessary room we needed for two families. The children enjoyed the books, puzzles, and toys. The busy street and the steep driveway was difficult to maneuver at times. It would be helpful for future guests to receive information on the best way to make use of the Tahoe Donner community amenities. We learned on our last day that a 20.00 wristband per day provided access to two pools, private Donner beach, and boat launch.

Excellent host communication

We were unable to stay at this beautiful home due to severe weather and road closures. However, I cannot comment enough about the kind and thorough communication we experienced with the host, Gayle. Gayle was there every step of the way as we tried to navigate the uncertainty of travel, and worked with us and her other guests to coordinate re-booking. We look forward to working with Gayle in the future and staying in this beautiful home. ps - I cannot accurately give a rating on the first three items since we never stayed in the home, however I couldn't leave anything blank and our entire experience was definitely 5-star service.

Ski trip

Great house with plenty of space. Owners even had extra borrowable snow clothes for small children, tons of books, and a few games. Back would be good for sledding, but we didnt have much snow. Master is nice. There is a bathroom between 2 bedrooms. They have many extra linens. There are tvs in the living room and study areas. Owners leave helpful notes around the house. That drive is extremely steep, which the owner is very clear about. The road it is on is busy, so pro is it gets plowed, con you hear the plow at 3am. Its a good rental.

Why they chose this property

The reason we chose this location is I love how close everything is! Markets and restaurants are just minutes away. Donner Lake is gorgeous and only a five-minute drive from our home. Several ski resorts are within a 20 minute drive or less. I lived in the Eastern Sierra for eight years and I am not crazy about driving around during snow storms. I looked at property closer to Lake Tahoe, but when I thought about all the extra driving and traffic, I decided I would rather spend less time on the road. I love the amenities at Tahoe Donner. And a big plus is how many ski resorts are easy to get to without having the nightmare of driving around Lake Tahoe traffic just to get to a resort.
