Great Tahoe Donner Home
Jennifer's home was great for our family trip over the holidays! The home itself had a great layout, was well stocked, and had incredible views. Communication with Jennifer was wonderful, and her instructions/guidance before heading to the home was perfect as well. We really enjoyed our time and will definitely book this home again when we visit!

Christmas in a winter wonderland!
Our family of seven stayed here for Christmas, and it couldn't have been more comfortable or homey! Three family members couldn't make it this time, but there would have been plenty of room for them if they had. The layout of two floors plus a small attic room feels roomy and cozy at the same time. The house is at the top of the mountain, and the great room has incredible unobstructed views toward the sunrise on one side and the sunset on the other, with lots of windows and natural light. We could be working in the kitchen, watching a movie, and putting together a puzzle all at the same time without anyone feeling crowded or left out of the fun. We are a family of cooks and bakers, and next time I would bring my own favorite tools and pans, but there is more than enough of everything for the typical cook, including most appliances and two ovens.The owners were very quick to respond when we had questions before out arrival, and in dealing with a few minor issues once we were there. Our family has rented many houses in the area over the years to enjoy the snow and the views, and we all agreed this was the best one yet!

Great Family Vacation
Our family of 10 had a wonderful weeklong vacation at the Luxurious Mountain Chalet. The home was in a great location close to the Alder Creek clubhouse, the Tahoe Donner amenities, the Glacier Way hike (and many more!), and the new Raley's One. We enjoyed amazing views from both east and west, hanging out in the hot tub, walking the hills in the neighborhood, and watching the Olympics in the great room each night. It was a great fit for our family with plenty of sleeping and hanging out space. Great & responsive hosts. Would definitely return.

Wonderful stay
We enjoyed a great ski weekend here. The house is perfect for 2 families with children. The house easily accommodates 8ppl with room to spare. We enjoyed the well equipped kitchen, the hot tub, and of course the amazing views. If you’ve got beginner skiers Tahoe Donner Ski resort is perfect and just 5 min drive from here. The owner was great with communicating with us and answered any questions we had super fast. I highly recommend!

Very comfortable Tahoe Donner house
Our group of 10 (two families) enjoyed our stay here. The youngest, a 12 year old boy, LOVED the upstairs attic space! The space was very comfortable for all of us. The kitchen is well stocked and we loved having such a big dining table! We did not use the hot tub because the weather was quite warm. No air conditioning here in the mountains, but there were fans in the bedrooms that kept us cool. The views from the decks were also very nice!

Great getaway with great views
We had a great time at this beautiful house! Everything was clean and well cared for, the views were amazing, with multiple decks from which to enjoy them. The kids really enjoyed the bonus attic room, and the big, fairly flat open space in the back, which was perfect for snow play. (We were there in spring, at the end of a mild winter, so I imagine it might be somewhat different to visit when there's a ton of snow.) Overall, this was just a wonderful property for our group of three families to enjoy a spring break getaway. Thank you!

Great spot on top of the hill!
Gorgeous 360° views from the Carson Range to the Sierra crest. Very convenient to Tahoe Donner amenities and close to larger ski resorts. The owners were very supportive through two Truckee-wide power outages and a historic snowfall. It's a great house but definitely bring a 4wd vehicle with winter tires or snow chains if you are traveling in winter time!

Perfect place for several famillies
Pros: - Kitchen can handle 6 cooks without bumping into each other (we were there at Thanksgiving) also 2 ovens. - Lots of pots, pans, sharp knives, serving bowls, plates, cups and everything you need for 12 persons. - Lots of hot water and heat. - Heated bathroom floors - Plenty of bathrooms. - Working Hot tub - Attic for kids to play and sleep in (a real savior) - The upstairs master bedroom has a huge separated closet that kids can sleep in if you bring sleeping mats. There is a port a crib as well. - Downstairs master bedroom has great bunk beds and private bath. - Once the door is closed, both these spaces are very self contained and separate from the general hubbub. - Lots of beach towels for hot tub and beach -Great washer, dryer, dishwasher. - Better than expected. Photos don't do it justice. - Owner very responsive Cons- - This is not really a con, just something to be prepared for. After agreeing to the reservation and submitting my credit card, I was sent a second contract with the Tahoe Donner HOA protocols and regulations and a contract to sign with all the individual names and ages of the family. Not something you normally see. Just expect the extra step.

Great views - excellent quality house
The views make this property stand out amazing. Had dinner outdoors every night and watched many amazing sunsets from the 3 decks. We stayed in July with three families (12 people in total - each family was 2 adults, two kids) and it worked out perfectly for us all. The layout works well too - there are enough bathrooms for one for each family, and pleantly of room indoors and out so that it felt spacious even with three families. Kitchen was well equiped and bathrooms are modern and very clean. The access is steep, so if coming in winter, you'll definintely need a 4x4/ all wheel drive. Quality of the house was absolutely wonderful - great linens, towels and furnishings. A real gem of a house in Tahoe - better than the pictures. We'd definintely come back.

Great place to stay
Everything was great and definitely upscale. I really appreciated the little touches like available glass food storage containers and Netflix/Roku built in. I felt more like a guest in a friend's home than a renter. Also, when we ran into trouble with a blackout and internet outage (totally no one's fault), Jennifer was incredibly responsive and helpful.

Best Views in Tahoe Donner
As a group we have been staying in Tahoe Donner for over 15 years. Jennifer’s cabin was one of the nicest we have stayed at. There was plenty of room to spread out, the kitchen had everything you could ask for if you want to cook, and it was nice to have room in the garage to park. The views from both the front and back decks were incredible, both at sunrise and sunset. Definitely will keep this one in mind when we return next year.

The Perfect Winter Getaway!
We stayed in this majestic home for new years week and we could not have found a better place. Views were spectacular, home was clean, spacious, comfortable... all around amazing. Although everything you need is within a 3 - 5 minute drive, it feels like you're on top of the world, away from it all... the hilltop location is premier and everyone we met around us were so friendly. Jennifer was terrific! She provided a wealth of information and exact instructions for everything. Also provided winter driving cautions and recommendations which were extremely helpful. We feel she really cares for her customers. We'll definitely be staying again!

Terrific house with amazing views!
We had such a wonderful stay at the Mountain Chalet! There were 11 of us who stayed in the Chalet and we all had plenty of room to spread out. Short walk to the hiking/snowshoeing and XC ski trails. The Z Marketplace was less than a 10 min drive away and fulfilled most of our food needs when we didn’t want to drive into town. Lots of space for parking. Ridiculously clean!! The kitchen and the jacuzzi tub in the bedroom was a dream! We had a few more couples over during the day to celebrate our gender/baby reveal, and there was plenty of space and seating. The only disappointment was that the heated floors in the master bedroom were out of order and we were not told this ahead of time. But otherwise it was a 5 Star stay!!
