The house was exactly what we expected, the neighborhood was great.
We did have one issue... when we got to the house there was vomit in one of the bathrooms, not sure how long it had been there but the guest bathroom smelled terrible.

Hi Richard,
Thank you for staying with us and your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the vomit that was found in a bathroom. The home was thoroughly cleaned as well as inspected so we are truly confounded on how it could have been missed. Either way our apologies and we are glad that the rest of your stay was enjoyable. Thank you and we look forward to having you back in the future!
All the best,

I can’t recommend this place enough. Signature Tahoe was super helpful and communicative. The house had everything we need and was plenty big for all seven of us( plus two dogs). The amenities of the Tahoe Donner area are very nice, no complaints from us. So glad to find a pet friendly rental since that can be tricky sometimes.

Terrific place, well-laid out and maintained.
We came up to ski for MLK. The cabin itself was great. Terrific kitchen, excellent living room, comfortable bedrooms. I liked the gas stove. The big flat screen TV was great for the football game. We especially enjoyed the hot tub. The cabin is about a 25-minute drive from Northstar, and we needed chains on our minivan to get back to the cabin one of the days.

Reviewer Comments:
Excellent location for our planned Tahoe Donner activities. Property description matched our expectations. Great customer service and easy to use mobile app for all amenities and guidance. We had a fabulous time and would stay again despite the following issues with the property: dirty garage floor that required sweeping, a leaky clothes washing machine, master bath tub does not drain well due to hair and scum build-up, an empty propane tank which disabled patio fire pit, and a dirty and cloudy hot tub without enough chlorine tablets (shock) on hand to clear it up.

Dear Gordon, Thank you for staying with us, we apologize for it not being 100%, we checked on all mentioned items , after your departure, and the washing machine doesn't have any issues, maybe it was too full? The hot tub is serviced by a professional company every Wed, this is the first time an issue with the hot tub was reported, again our apologies for the inconveniences and please give us a call or email us next time so we have the opportunity to take care of the issues right away. Glad to hear you enjoyed your stay. Kind Regards, Dana
We had a great stay and this cozy, clean, cabin has most everything you will need. I chose it thinking it had a hot tub because I saw photos of the hot tub, but they did not verbally (in writing) advertise a hot tub. We arrived at the cabin assuming it was going to have a hot tub and it did not. When I called to ask them about it, It turns out the hot tub had been out of service for a very long time. I have learned not to assume amenities are available just because you see a photo of them. They need to be written in the listing. The customer service for this property management company is exceptional. They explained the problem and gave me a discount for my disappointment. They were very understanding and validated my concerns. Very easy to deal with. I would stay at this home again and use this property management service again.

Nice home, a bit neglected
The home was a good size for two small families, we appreciated that we could bring our dog. It was generally clean. But it was obvious that the property had not been used by the owners or looked after well. There were several light bulbs out, the stove fan didn't work - and the hot tub, which was included on the listing - was completely inaccessible and, according to the repair person 'hadn't worked in a long time'. Also, the beds in the larger bedrooms are double sized, especially the primary room could easily fit a king, if not a queen. Had we known the beds were so small and the hot tub was non-existant we likely would not have booked. This is our third time booking with Tahoe Signature Properties. We are very happy with the responsiveness and follow through on fixing the lights/appliances with TSP. Normally we've been delighted with the properties. But this one is not representing your inventory well, it needs some attention or at least an adjustment of how it is listed (ie hot tub, small beds etc).

Magical for a 2nd time
The cabin, service and weather were all magical for a 2nd time! We are already planning for our trip next winter. Thank you for such excellent, clean, thoughtful accommodations!
This cozy house was perfect for two small families.
Property manager was responsive and despite tons of snow the week prior, the driveway and patio were cleared to allow my son's wheelchair to easily accesses the house. The driveway does have a bit of an incline leaving the house up to the road, which was a challenge at times for our heavy adapted mini van, but our friends' 4wd Subaru had no problems with it.
The large mudroom at the entry was a great space to remove snowy boots so we didn't track any snow into the house, although the new laminate floors were easily to clean if some snow was accidentally tracked in.
Being right on the main arterial road of the Tahoe Donner neighborhood was super convenient as it was plowed really well and allowed quick access to the highway. During our trip we skied at Alpine Meadows and Northstar and snowboarded and tubed at Boreal and it was a quick and easy drive to all locations.
While some of the plumbing fixtures and countertops are a bit dated, all linens, towels, pillows, and dishes provided seemed fresh and new. Overall, just a comfortable, cozy, and convenient stay, particularly if looking for single level living for mobility needs (just one step onto the porch or in from the garage). Would definitely stay here again.

Poor
Seriously! I can't believe you actually sent me this email after I called twice to let you know that due to road conditions and the concern for our safe, we could not make the trip. It was not for lack of effort, we tried to come up on the 23rd and 24th but turned around due to accidents and road closures. Although, our plans were ruined and $3k forfeited can because you would not allow us to apply any of the rental money towards another weekend, our health and safety was a bigger priority but Dana made it clear it was not yours. We will NEVER rent through your agency and believe me, this will be the first of many reviews I will be posting to share my experience of your lack of compassion and empathy.
Overall, we had a good experience at this house and it is a good value. We were specifically looking for a single story house with almost no steps so the layout worked well.
There was an issue with the garage door when we first arrived and the management company responded promptly and were nice and fixed the issue that day.
One concern were the walls were pretty "thin" as noise traveled easily. However the heater worked well and amenities were satisfactory.
Overall a solid place to stay for a nice getaway that is within the Tahoe Donner community.

Had a wonderful time! Would return again.
We had a wonderful stay in this home. Great location, beautiful property for our pup to roam out back and enjoyed the hot tub and cozy living room. There are a few things that seem a little "tired." Pillows could be replaced, and most of the dishes are chipped. But obviously not deal breakers at all and we had a great stay.

Three Pines Cabin was as promised
We enjoyed our stay at the Three Pines Cabin. It was fairly well stocked with the little things that you typically need to get at the grocery store. The hot tub was tough to difficult to manage because it was shoot up in temperature regularly (109 when set to 102), but was great to relax in. Highly recommended! Thank you!
We had a lovely stay at 3 Pines while our floors were being redone. Our little dog loved walking in the forest and our 4 year-old had a blast running around collecting pinecones. My mother appreciated that the house was a single floor. Well appointed place with plenty of room. We would definitely rent again.
Our family had a wonderful and comfortable stay at this well-appointed cabin in Tahoe Donner. It was very clean and had all of the amenities we needed. Highly recommend!
So grateful to be able to rent this property! We had guest coming into town and we needed more space close to our home. Excellent service from Ashley at Signature Properties. Thank you for making this stay smooth and easy!
