Truckee

Loved the place. The only issue was it was 90 degrees every day and a few windows did not have screens, so we could not open them to let fresh air in at night. Otherwise, the place was great.

Fun Tahoe weekend

Booked this property to share a winter weekend in Tahoe with two families of 4. House met all of our expectations. Fun space for kids to play downstairs while parents enjoyed the mid level. Rooms were clean and comfortable. The home is less than a mile to the Tahoe Donner ski resort and convenient 10-30 min drive to everything else we wanted. Communication was easy with prompt responses from the property managers. We would gladly stay there again.

Comfortable home in great neighborhood

We felt right at home in this comfortable house that we rented for a month during COVID. Tim and the property managers were very responsive to all of our needs, and went out of their way to make our stay go smoothly. Three of us were working from home and we were able to find different work spaces with great broadband connection. The beds were comfortable, the grill worked great and the large table worked well for family meals. The kitchen could use some upgrades, but I hear that's in the works! The neighborhood is quiet, and the nearby golf course and trails are great for hiking and biking in the summer and cross country in the winter. The close proximity to Truckee and Donner Lake was a plus.

Our experience...

We stayed on the property for four days. Overall, the family had a good time in the Donner area. The property itself was accurately depicted on the website. All the usual amenities were present and early check in was allowed. The reason for the overall three star review comes from the master bathroom on the top floor. The day of arrival we noticed "dirt and debris" next to the master tub. Since we weren't using the tub that day, we didn't think anything of it. The next evening, we were prepping to use the tub when we took a closer look and realized that it was rodent droppings. Upon further inspection, we also realized that the wood paneling on the slanted wall was falling off the wall. We contacted the property manager the next morning and informed them of the issues. The wood paneling has come off the wall more since then. Pictures were taken and sent directly to the property manager for review. Our stay has ended but wehave not heard back from the property manager since then. We understand that being in Tahoe can pose its own set of challenges, but rodent droppings are a health hazard and should have gotten more attention from the manager and possibly the owner. Hopefully the issue is addressed immediately.

Perfect Winter wonderland!

We had a fantastic time as a family at this beautiful cabin. Snow play right outside the door with so many cool sleds, snow toys and shovels was an epic experience for our teenagers. The house is super-comfortable with great spaces to spread out as a family or comfortably hang out with each other. We loved curling up by the fire each evening to watch movies or play board games, and took advantage of the jacuzzi tub after snowboarding all day. Thank you Tim and Kim for providing such a lovely home and to the management team for the superb renting experience!

What makes this property unique

Tahoe Donner is a quaint, family oriented community. Our street is very quiet and houses mix of part-timers and full-timers. We are on a major road with good snow plowing and clearing during the winter months.
