Disliked: Location
This beautiful home was a fantastic stay, and the management team was exceptionally responsive and helpful with every question we had. It is ideal if you are visiting for a local wedding or event. The only minor drawback is the location, if your primary focus is quick, frequent access to the lake or ski slopes, it is a bit farther out than expected. Still, it's a wonderful property with top-tier hosting!

Best spot to watch Donner Lake fireworks!

Beautiful setting - spacious decks on two levels with great Donner Lake views, privacy and hot tub. Lots of comfortable living spaces on three levels. Well equipped open kitchen. Luxurious sleeping arrangements for all. Short drive to Rec Centers and downtown Truckee. Steady freeway background noise sounds like waterfall.

Fantastic Donner Lake House with Panoramic Lake View!

The house was just as advertised: beautiful; expansive; comfortable; well-structured; with two decks and an unbelievable view of Donner Lake. One issue we had: the house was very minimally stocked with bath towels; paper towels, TP, and silverware; we actually had to go out and buy these items ourselves, much to our dismay. That said, we would definitely rent that same house again. We have great memories and the views are etched into our brains!

Beautiful cabin! Would recommend supplying basic kitchen stuff, though: salt, pepper, olive oil. We couldn't find any kitchen towels. and just an FYI, the main floor bedroom - the right side sink is clogged

Need to better quality control

This was our second stay. While the house is the perfect size for our family and the location and views wonderful, the kitchen and its contents never feels very clean. We always feel obliged to run the dishwasher for all the plates, glasses and utensils we use because we often find food on them. Some of the linens were so heavily perfumed, I had to put my own clean shirt over my pillow case. It would not take much to make this house a total joy. But it has to feel clean. I don't think we will be returning next year.

Amazing view of Donner Lake

This home has an amazing view of Donner Lake. The deck is spectacular and we spent a lot of time each morning and evening on the deck. It does not have a table so dining on the deck required us to balance our meals on our lap. The house comfortably fit the 9 of us although there were complaints about the mattresses and especially the sofa bed in the game room. We had to bring an air mattress for my daughter who was sleeping up there. My one big complaint/concern is that there are no screens on the windows or french doors leading to the deck. It was very hot during our stay and we needed to keep the doors and windows open to cool off the house. That is generally not an issue for us, however, without screens we shared the house with a lot of bugs. One night I counted six little black bugs in the bed in the bed in the primary bedroom. It was suggested by both the mgmt co and my husband that we keep the lights off in the evening so as to avoid attracting bugs, but I can not function in a dark house, especially one that is not my regular home!! Also, I am not person that screams at the sight of bugs. For this reason, I will not consider renting this house again and I will be certain to ask in the future if any house I am renting has screens! Didn't think that was something I needed to double check. I debated the rating... I went to a 4 because of the size and view, but really would rate it as a 3. We had few requests of the Tahoe Getaway, but they responded promptly with our requests.

They need a better cleaning crew since they’re charging so much for it

So the majority of house is pretty clean. They had pots and pans and some glasses to use that were all super gross and greasy. They make you put everything in the dishwasher and turn it on when you leave. Unfortunately I don’t think they clean them anymore than that. The inside shelves of the fridge had chunks of food in the corners. Took them two days to respond to a question of how to use the stereo and they didn’t even answer how to do it they just asked if I still couldn’t get it. The sauna took too long to warm up and we never used it. Bear proof trash cans were all full so we had to take our trash with us. Nice location and great house but the cleanliness will never make me want to return. Especially getting reamed for the “cleaning fee”
