About this house rental
Welcome to Family Fun in Tahoe Donner! Beautifully Decorated, Family-friendly, Toys, Games Room, Hot Tub, Decks, Hard Wood Floors, Fully Equipped Gourmet Kitchen, High Speed 1 GIG Internet... You won't find a more beautiful and fun-filled home in all of Tahoe Donner, especially at this price.
Our house has been beautifully renovated and redecorated throughout - hickory hardwood floors (carpeting in the bedrooms), 3 kings size beds, 1 queen, and one single over double log style bunk bed, 1 full size pullout couch, extra futons for sleeping on the floor, fully equipped kitchen, game room with full size full size air hockey table, foosball table, hot tub, garage, double entry flat driveway, front and back decks, designer furnishings and Italian pottery, two fireplaces, kid-friendly bedroom, and large family room/playroom with tons of toys and costumes. It is an extremely child-friendly home with an ideal setup for multiple families and friends. The bedrooms are divided up (three upstairs, two downstairs) to provide a maximum amount of privacy between the two floors.
Our family vacation home is part of the Tahoe Donner community which includes access to the recreation facilities (gym, pools, Jacuzzis, snow sledding area, children’s play areas, private beach at Donner Lake).
We have made a tremendous effort to keep our fixed costs low and to pass on the savings to our renters. We have invested in eco friendly appliances and have gone GREEN where ever possible, and hope that our renters will participate in our efforts by turning down the heat, using less electricity etc in order for us to maintain our reduced rates.
Please contact us for prior authorization if you wish to bring a pet (dogs only).
We are 3.5 miles to Tahoe Donner downhill ski area, 3 miles to the Beach Club, 2 miles to Trout Creek Rec Center, 11 miles to Northstar and 13 miles to Squaw Valley.
Here is a detailed description of the house and its layout that we have provided for renters that can be helpful for their vacation planning:
The house is an ideal multi-family house and was designed with kids in mind. My sister and I co-own the house and we have 5 children between our two families so the place is equipped from baby age up to teen (Pac n Play, clip on high chair, lots of toys, costumes and kids dvd’s, air hockey table, foosball table, snow play area etc). It was also recently redecorated and looks fantastic.
The layout of the house is as follows… outside is semi-circular driveway that fits about 6 – 8 cars depending on snow levels in the winter, two car garage, easiest entry is through garage door into downstairs.
Downstairs level has the playroom with a couch (pullout sleeper), tv with dvd/satellite, toys, costumes, and books, two bedrooms (one king size bed, one queen size bed) and bathroom with shower over tub. The games room with a full sized air hockey table, fuzzball table, dart board, etc is also on this level.
Upstairs level has livingroom/diningroom/kitchen as one big area (65 inch flat-screen smart tv/satelitte/dvd/receiver/gaming hook ups!!) with large deck off of front with big gas BBQ (kids can play in snow on deck), dining room table that extends and can easily sit 16 or more, three bedrooms (master bedroom with king size bed and bathroom, second bedroom with king size bed, third bedroom with twin over full bunkbed), large guest bathroom with shower over tub and washer/dryer in closeted alcove. Master bedroom has smart tv and bunk bed bedroom has tv/vhs (old school). Private hot tub is outside in the backyard just behind the house.
The house is heated centrally and also has two gas fireplaces – one in family room, one in living room and additional individual room heaters for bedrooms as needed. Kitchen is fully equipped, as we love to cook and we are always disappointed when we go to a vacation rental and the kitchen is poorly furnished. House is furnished with high speed wireless internet, lots of dvd’s, videos, books, toys, costumes, and games.
Depending on the age and desired sleeping arrangements for families with children, kids are usually happiest in the bunkbed bedroom. There are also multiple additional futon mattresses stored in the downstairs bedroom closet that can be used to sleep kids on the floors – either in the bunkbed bedroom or in their parents’ rooms. Kids can also sleep on the floor of the family room dormitory style (best for older kids). The advantage to having the house divided up onto two floors is that it allows for a greater amount of privacy and noise control.
In the winter there are plenty of snow play areas around the house (depending on snow levels) including the front porch, sides and back of house, and kids can build small sled runs onto the driveway in front. Our kids will even sled down the street with a parent pulling the sled if it's icy enough.
In addition to all of the fun things available at the house you have access to the Tahoe Donner Association amenities (rec center, swimming pools, gym, spas and saunas, equestrian center, private beach at Donner Lake, snow play area with sled/inner tubes, downhill and cross country ski resorts…). You will need to take the passes in the kitchen and pay a daily access fee.
Due to issues with parties and the disturbance of our neighbors, we use a 100% privacy compliant decibel meter on the property. Tampering with or disabling is prohibited and will result in security deposit loss.
*In an effort to adapt to the changing environment, rentals made during Covid that are subject to cancellation (outside of normal cancellation window) due solely to state or local regulations will be offered alternate future dates at our discretion.
Please note that we do not refund for inclement weather or air quality. Road closures or weather conditions are not an acceptable reason for cancellation. Please consider purchasing vacation insurance If you are concerned about cancellation due to the possible above issues.
Please watch weather conditions and plan your departure accordingly. If road closures or inclement weather hinder your departure, you will be responsible for the cost of the additional night(s), assuming that we are are able to accommodate you.
Hopefully this description helps for your planning. Please feel free to contact us via email or phone if you have any questions or need more information.
Cheers,

This spacious home is well set up for a large family with all ages. We truly enjoyed our stay. The home had all the infant equipment needed, children’s toys, and spaciousness for our whole family. Communication with the owners was prompt and helpful. Highly recommend this home for a wonderful vacation spot in a beautiful area!

This was our second stay at this fantastic home. It has been beautifully updated and we loved every minute of our visit. The beds are super comfortable, the kitchen is well stocked and the kids had a great time with all the toys and costumes. The owners have paid attention to all the details that make a house a home.
We will be back!

We stayed here with two other families. The layout of the house was excellent and it’s so family friendly. The game room, lots of toys and fun stuff for all ages was appreciated. The teens wanted to bunk together and we loved the extra futons that could be brought into the different rooms. Kitchen was updated, nice and big for several people to work in at once and was very well stocked. Andrea was super communicative and thoughtful in letting us know the house was ready for check in early. Easy Tahoe Donner location that is close to everything. Overall a great stay and I would definitely recommend.

We've been staying here every year for the past few years and we keep coming back! The location is amazing, the house has all kinds of stuff for the kids to do and it's a great experience every year!

This is our second time staying at this property. It’s a fantastic house for families and extended families. The owners really thought of everything to make a snowy weekend away fun!
4.9
We had a fantastic weekend at this home. The house was clean, spacious and beautiful. We appreciated having the downstairs rec and playroom spaces for the kids ages 4 to 16 to enjoy! The treasure box of costumes was a huge hit! Everyone was comfortable. The kitchen is very well equipped and oven and stove great. We highly recommend this house for groups especially with kids. Having two garage spaces for parking was key with the snow!

We had a great winter wonderland trip at this property. It was perfect for three families. Lots of space and toys for the kids, fully stocked kitchen, and a great location. Would stay again!
4.9
This is a great house, very well stocked and the best toys in the playroom and game room. We all had a wonderful time. The only reason for one star off is because of the holiday and we could not get a response on the snow plowing. The plowing company was supposed to come when it snowed and they did not. Since we left before the big storm we could get out of the driveway with our all wheel drive cars. Suggest info on the snowplow company be in the handbook so guests can reach them. But this was a very minor issue.

This place was perfect for our family needs. The game room was a big hit. Short drive to Truckee and Tahoe Donner. Would stay again!

Fun times here for all 9 of us at Thanksgiving, plenty of room for us all and perfect location for a family gathering. Andrea was quick to answer questions and we were lacking absolutely nothing during our stay here. The kitchen had plenty of utensils and the extra refrigerator really came in handy for all of the food. My 3 year old grandson took over the (on-site) snow sleds as his 2 cousins showed him how to navigate the hill behind the house. How convenient! When the boys weren't sledding they were busy with Foos Ball or Air Hockey or Ping Pong. The neighbors were super friendly and told us all about the neighborhood. Traffic on the street was nil, very safe. One nice amenity was being able to watch TV without using a Firestick or ROKU. It was so convenient to just turn on the TV and select a channel! We hated to leave here, but really look forward to a return trip.

This was the 4th year that my family stayed in this home and it's always fantastic. We enjoyed swimming at Donner Lake and Tennis at the Truckee River Regional Park, but that was a bonus. This home has everything you need to relax and enjoy the family without going anywhere. Games, air hockey, dress up clothes for the kids, hot tub and the perfect deck for an outdoor movie on the "big screen." And each year we look forward to seeing the new upgrades that the owners have completed. There's nothing like making memories with the grandchildren---everyone is already looking forward to next year!!

We enjoyed this stay a lot and have no complaints. It was a little toasty in late afternoon and early evening but we were there during the hottest time of the year

We had a great family reunion at Andrea’s house. The place was big and comfortable, and communication was easy with the host.
4.9
The house was exactly as described on the listing. Plenty of room, eat together, play, and enjoy all the amenities the house offers.
The check-in princess was a major drawback. Apparently VRBO changed their policy and the landlord was not aware of these changes. Lots of undue stress created y this and it also created difficulty for coordination for us and family members that live out-of-state.

Great Place, Excellent Host
We had a small family reunion and this was the PERFRCT house. Close to amenities and only a short drive to Lake Tahoe. Very clean and comfortable for our entire family with plenty of room. Games and kids stuff kept our younger party members entertained and evenings and mornings on the deck were incredible. Thank you so much!!!

Good place to stay except the mattresses are not good quality and too soft in firmness causing muscle pain after a night sleep. Everything else is very good!

Great family place.
The house was perfect for us. we were Adults, Teens, and Small children with a very well behaved dog. We had fresh snow and the kids played outside for hours. The Gourmet kitchen had everything and was well stocked. There were many options for sleeping. I slept in the master and it was very comfortable. The bunk was a bit small for our big teens, but that was just us. Smaller kids would be fine. The price was reasonable and the hosts are very nice . Overall, we all had a good time.

Something for all ages
Rented in February with extended family. The kids loved the game room and rec room downstairs with the toys and board games, too. Can sled right out back. Hot tub a perfect outdoor escape. Very easy communication with owners. Kitchen well stocked, place clean. Comfortable for 5 children (8 and under) and 9 adults. Thank you for a wonderful stay. We hope to return!

There were 9 of us staying at the house. It was very lovely. The house is spread out nicely so I can see how perfect it is for family with children. My family was all over 27 years old. The house itself has everything need to be quite comfortable. High end kitchen with plenty of gadgets. The hot tub was a treat for after skiing. The beds were all very comfortable and roomy. The location was great . Would I stay again? Happily !!!

The house was exactly as expected and fit our family so wonderfully. My in-laws have never been to a Vrbo for vacation (we mostly camp) so they were skeptical of cleanliness and amenities but they were pleasantly surprised to find a very clean house with a fully stocked kitchen. The kids loved the kids bedroom and all the toys. We lucked out with amazing fresh snow and sunshine. The heater and gas stoves kept us plenty warm. The large fireplace was great for warming our clothes after playing in the snow. The hosts have done an amazing job with this property and we can’t wait to come back, except next time we will stay longer. Thanks Andrea and Nicole!

Amazing Weekend
Our family of fourteen loved this location. Plenty of linens and futons for the kids, the game room was a huge hit, and the upstairs space was nice and big for all of us. We had to make some adjustments for seating during meals, but otherwise had a great time. The hosts were responsive and welcoming, and the location can't be beat.
We'll definitely be back!
