Gorgeous house in the middle of everything
I stayed here with my husband, dog and three adult children for a week in the summer and found this house perfect for our needs. The house is spacious, very well appointed, and within minutes of everything we needed - a short walk to Trout Creek Adventure Center and a short drive to old town Truckee, Lake Donner, and more hiking/biking trails than we could possibly use. The management company was on top of all of our questions and needs and the check-in/check-out process was super easy. We hope to return next summer for longer!

Great house and location!
Fantastic spot in Tahoe Donner within walking distance of the rec center and local store and a short drive from Truckee and Donner Lake. House layout is great for groups and the wooded backyard is spacious and peaceful. We had a few maintenance issues come up but the property managers were very responsive and remedied the issues immediately. Will definitely stay here again!

We had a wonderful and much needed getaway as a small family (plus dog) and this place was exactly what we needed, clean yet just like a home away from home. We experienced no issues and the communication was more than proactive. We unreservedly recommend this place. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

Great time in Tahoe
We had a great time staying at this lovely Tahoe home. Everything about the reservation process, check in, and check out was super easy. The house itself was nice, with lots of space. Kitchenware could be a bit better with more measuring cups, Tupperware, and foil/wrap options. Also, it was obvious that this house allows pets as there was a lot of dog hair on the carpet. This was slightly problematic for our guest with pet allergies. Otherwise, a lovely house resulting in a great vacation.

Overall we had a wonderful time staying at the property
This was a really nice house and the biggest perks was that the kids loved having three beds to sleep in in the loft. We were very happy to be able to bring our dog with us and the kitchen was nice and comfortable to cook in and we loved the big windows. The places where we felt it needed improvement was there’s not enough cups, there was no aluminum foil or plastic wrap nor any Tupperware. For us the smell of the fabric softener was overbearing we had to re-wash all the sheets and towels. The kitchen definitely needs updated kitchen tools and more cups that can easily be taken care of by a short trip to IKEA. Also there’s no cable but there is Roku I think that’s something that should be disclosed and we were really looking forward to using the outdoor deck which had a lot of snow on it and the barbecue was not usable. Aside from those things we had a really wonderful stay and we would rent this property again with hopes that those improvements were made. The top for my kids was that there was a playset in a zip line in the top for me was that there was a Jacuzzi tub in the master bathroom and wooden floors. Also to it seemed like the carpets could be cleaned Thank you for sharing your home with us we had an unbelievable vacation and overall we really love the house

Nice accommodations, but....
The wifi/internet signal was incredibly slow, bordering on worthless. And since there was no cable signal for the TV, streaming a signal to the tv resulted in a fuzzy picture. A Roku box was connected to the TV, but was unusable because no subscriptions were provided and because of the aforementioned slow internet speeds (for Roku apps that didn't require a subscription). Cellular service wasn't available so we had to use the painfully slow wifi signal.
