Just lovely

Spent an awesome 5 nights at this gem of a house in Tahoe Donner. House is comfortable and well-outfitted and was cozy for our party of 7 and a pup. Location is close to Truckee and not too far for skiing at Palisades/Alpine, which we did daily. Would definitely stay here again!

This is a lovely and cosy property for staying in the donner/tahoe area. The property is pet friendly. I forgot to declare the pet before arriving as plans changed such that I needed to bring my dog with us. The owner simply charged me the appropriate fee and there was no further issue. All in all the owner is easy to work with and quick to respond to comunique

Thank you for your feedback. I’m truly sorry to hear about your experience — and especially very sorry to hear about your dog passing away during your trip. That must have been incredibly difficult, and I extend my sincere condolences to you and your family. Regarding the snow conditions, as you know, your stay coincided with an unusually heavy winter storm in Tahoe Donner. During that period, snowfall was continuous throughout the day, and our plow service was working on rotation across the neighborhood. Even when the driveway is cleared prior to arrival, heavy snowfall can quickly accumulate again, and berms at the end of driveways are unfortunately common when county plows pass through. We did have the home scheduled and prepared prior to your arrival window. With storms of that intensity, however, snow can build up rapidly — including in front of garage doors — between service visits. We also remain available by phone and message during all guest stays, and I regret if there was any difficulty connecting in that moment. The fireplace instructions are normally provided in the house manual, and I will review placement to ensure they are clearer and easier to locate for future guests. We work hard to prepare the home and coordinate snow removal during challenging winter weather, and most guests understand that mountain conditions can sometimes be unpredictable. That said, I appreciate you sharing your experience, and I will use your feedback to continue improving.

Family ski trip

Ski trip with extended family members for a total of 5 of us and 2 small dogs. The accommodations were perfect for our needs. Central heating works well which is a must (wasn’t the right season to test AC) and no issues with hot water. It could take a couple minutes for the cold water to evacuate the pipes before hot came out of the faucet, particularly on first use, but it always came and it wasn’t merely lukewarm, fortunately they have no plumbing issues because the water would be truly hot, something very necessary in the cold of winter. Very cozy ambiance, feels modern. Everything our family was looking for. Not far from several ski resorts. Feels a bit out of the way driving there, which was initially a negative, but it was nice and peaceful at night which helped us rest and reset for following days. Will certainly be looking to stay here again, particularly for medium/large groups.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We’re thrilled to hear that the house was a perfect fit for your ski trip and that the central heating and hot water worked well for your family (and pups!). We appreciate your note about the faucet — it’s helpful feedback and good to know it didn’t affect your stay. We’re glad you enjoyed the cozy, modern ambiance and the peaceful setting, and it’s wonderful to hear you’d stay with us again. We’d love to host your family anytime, especially for larger groups!
