My review is really in 2 parts, first part is about the house itself and the second is in regards to the management company Tahoe Luxury Properties. Both were outstanding, if you decide not to read on!
The description of the house on VRBO is spot on. You can tell the owners take a lot of pride in their property as the furniture and furnishings, including the art, invoke authentic Tahoe. I love to feel like I’m in a mountain lodge and every detail in this house captures that. Its location is on Swiss Lane, which is arguably the most beautiful street in Tahoe Donner. The house was spacious, clean, laid out well, and had all the kitchen amenities you could want. The bunk room was a hit with the two kids, their own tv to game on and watch TV, with its own fridge and sink for cold drinks and water. Another hit was the upstairs social space that has a nice chess table and pool table. The garage was made available to us which was appreciated and a giant plus, as it snowed while we were there. Which brings me to the property management company, Tahoe Luxury Properties. The amount of snow in Truckee when we arrived is almost incomprehensible for San Diegans like us. We all brought our bathing suites for the jacuzzi, but on the drive up I kept thinking there is no way anyone could have dug out the jacuzzi. Or the BBQ grill. And much to my amazement, the driveway was perfectly accessible as well as the stairs to the front door. And lo and behold, the jacuzzi and BBQ were surrounded with giant walls of snow, but ready for our arrival. Unfortunately after a blue bird day at Northstar on our first day, the winter storm warnings started up. The property management company reached out to me to let me know that the roads and freeways were likely to close and we would likely be stuck. My family and another couple decided to leave a day early as we had work obligations that Monday. One couple decided to leave a little later and made it to the end of the driveway, That’s as far as they got! The neighborhood HOA does a great job of snow removal on the roads, but there are only so many plows and lots of homes. As such our friends got stuck for about 24 hours beyond our check out time. Tahoe Luxury Properties and the owners were more than gracious in allowing the stranded couple to stay at no extra expense! We were blown away by this. We come to Truckee/Tahoe quite often , and we hope to stay this beautiful house again!
