We had a wonderful stay at Antonia's house. It is so close to Donner lake which is were we spent most of the day. The house had everything we needed and was perfect for a girls trip.The kitchen was very well stocked with everything we needed to cook. Antonia was very responsive on VRBO prior to trip and during for any questions that come up. I would definitely come back!

Comfortable, Very Clean, and Spacious

My family of 10 met here for a ski trip to Northstar in January. We found the cabin to be very spacious with a well-equipped kitchen and very comfortable beds. The cabin was exceptionally clean. We loved the kids toy closet, basement rec room, and the hot tub. Thanks for sharing your home with us!

Great spot! Great host!

This was an amazing place that Was spacious and accurate to description. I would absolutely stay here again. The only odd part was there is a small converted shed located directly on the property that the owner and their kids stayed in during the last two days of our stay… so it wasn’t as private as I would’ve liked. Wish we had more privacy or a warning about this situation.

Great house! Sunny views, hottub, plenty of room

Good communication during the whole process, super responsive when we had questions. Great kitchen, lovely views, hottub was so nice to enjoy after skiing all day. We shoveled a bit of snow off the main deck so that we could take advantage of the sun & comfortable seating out there. The couches upstairs and in the game room are not sofabeds, but there are airbeds to use if needed. Overall, we loved our time there and would definitely stay again!

Wonderful family vacation!

We absolutely loved Chris and Antonia's home! Great location, very easy to get to - even for my ice/snow paranoid Mom. The home is fully stocked - I packed almost every utensil I could think of and never had to use any of them as the home had everything we needed. My 6 year old son loved the play room, as well as the game table (pool and ping pong). The gas stove was super and the hot tub was a hit with everyone. Antonia and Chris were super responsive with any questions we had leading up to and through our stay. I would absolutely stay at the home again - 5 stars for sure!

Family Reunion

The home was outstanding and the stay was perfect. Family Reunion in Truckee was a great setting in a wonderful town. We had ten in our party (7 adults and 3 children ages 12-14). This house was perfect for all our sleeping arrangements, with plenty of space and activities to keep everyone entertained. The hosts were more than accommodating, answering any question or inquiry we had prior to our arrival. They provided us with a great list of places nearby to visit or dine. Overall we were extremely pleased with how all the arrangements were handled through VRBO and directly with our hosts. This is a gorgeous home, and we would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking to stay in the Truckee/Lake Tahoe area.

Family Vacation

This was a great centralized vacation spot for my family for the 4th of July! There was enough room for everyone to be comfortable. The game room downstairs was a hit for the teenagers. There are a lot of stairs, so may not be the best spot for elderly family members who struggle with mobility, or really young kiddos who could take a tumble. We had a great time!

Wonderful Views and Well Appointed

This cabin was wonderful for our annual snow trip with friends. The view is amazing. The house is so well organized and appointed. Everything went smoothly with our stay. Also, there was no to-do list for check out which was refreshing.Plenty of bathrooms and hot water to keep up with all the rinsing off we all did after soaking in the hot tub. It was just a lovely experience and we look forward to coming back next year!

Fantastic getaway for a group

This was our first trip to Tahoe and it was the perfect place for our family trip! We were staying with two families - including 6 adults, 2 teenage boys and 1 pre-teen girl - who lived the game room and tvs. We all enjoyed the hot tub - especially since we were there during the first snow in Tahoe in August in 30+ years! The deck views were gorgeous, close to downtown Truckee and Donner Lake - perfect for a day trip - and easy access to Lake Tahoe. Our hosts were very accessible and accommodating. We would definitely recommend staying here in any season.
