Review

Great stay near the Donner downhill ski resort. The house was great and the hot tub was a treat to relax in after skiing. (Tip bring chains or good snow tires if theres a snow storm in the forecast for the driveway.)

Terrific Getaway

We booked this house for 2 families of 4 (8 people total, 4 adults and 4 school-aged kids) to ski for Spring Break. Check-in and check out was super easy and the management team proactively texted us all the info we needed in advance of our stay. The set up was terrific with plenty of room for the kids to have their own beds and adults to have ensuite bathrooms. There is a downstairs TV area and ping pong table, so adults had the kids watch movies downstairs while we hung upstairs. The location was less than 5 minutes away from the Tahoe Donner Ski Resort. There's been a ton of snow this year, so it was nice to book a place with easy driving to ski. Additionally, the house has a nice flat driveway, which made getting in and out much less stressful. The kitchen is a great set up with a nice fancy range, plenty of room in the fridge, and everything was very clean. There were basic provisions stocked in the cupboard (cooking oil, a few spices etc) and pretty basic kitchen tools/cookware, so if you plan to do a lot of cooking, you will want to bring some things of your own. We really enjoyed the hot tub after days skiing and ping pong when the snow kept us inside. I think this place would be awesome in summer and winter months alike.

Very Nice snow Adventure

We loved our stay and the house was very clean, roomy, and had all the needed amenities. The location Truckee and the ski resort was very good. We would love to rent again. The only issue which was more weather-related, was the driveway was iced over and not cleared like most of the driveways in the neighborhood. This was a potential safety issue for seniors like ourselves for slipping, and it was very difficult backing in and out of the driveway.

Beautiful house, close to ski lodge

What a beautiful house! I was in love as soon as I stepped inside. It has such a great layout. We really enjoyed the open space kitchen and living room, which makes it easy to cook and socialize at the same time. It is very close and easy to Tahoe Donner Ski Resort and to Z Grocery Store. Communication with the owners/property managers with easy and they quickly responded to any questions we had.

Friends getaway

This is the second time our small group of 4 couples spent a week in Truckee. Love the location - hiking, escape rooms in Reno, Virginia City, the train tunnels in Truckee, all a short distance away. Grocery store close as well.Really liked the house with the exception of - no air.... - very hot upstairs, downstairs at least 15 degrees cooler. Glad we brought fans. - no way to block hot sun from shining on face while at dining table, no shades for top windows and no cross ventilation. - dining chairs very uncomfortable - beds comfortable, linens clean.- cleaning crew needs to look under things- grapes under chair, shoe under bed, etc. - plenty of room to be "alone" or spend time as a group. - plenty of parking.- kitchen well equipped, although garbage compactor and small beverage fridge not working.

Great for 2 families

Great rental for 2 families. Each couple had their own bathroom and the kids shared one. Nice, open and cozy. Great location, 1.5 miles away from Tahoe Donner Ski Resort which is why we picked it. We had some trouble with the lower heater but the manager made it right and kept checking in with us. Thanks for a great weekend!
