We have been lucky enough to spend few days in this house to visit Tahoe and we had a blast Very close to Truckee where you can get anything you’d need, the house itself is a great spot for a family, the bedrooms are decorated with a nice touch, beds are so comfy, and it’s so nice to wake up with a cup of coffee and see all the chipmunks running :) We loved it and hope we can get back one day!

We love everything about this home. The location, the beautiful home with lots of beds and amenities. Perfect place to have a family trip. We love sitting in the backyard and enjoy the Tahoe view. The view place was very clean, well decorated, spacious and welcoming. We love forward to coming back again next year!!

The house was great. More room than we expected. Loved having two bathrooms with private bathrooms. The great room was amazing. The air conditioning was a little off. The great room with bunks got really cold whereas the tv room gets really warm and hard to cool off. We needed more washcloths so we kept doing laundry. Would be helpful if there was a tv in every room. Lots of mosquitoes in the summer so be prepared. Overall, our issues were very small. We plan on coming back to stay in this house for sure. Best rental house we’ve stayed in yet.

Bernese Gem is truly a gem. My favorite thing about this cabin is everything. The views, the space, the location, and the trails. It has all the things you can ask for when looking for a winter or summer getaway. The bedrooms are beautifully decorated. My favorite room is the two…I said two queen sized bunk beds that can fit six to eight people maybe even ten. It’s great for big groups or family group vacation with kiddos. The size of this room is humongous. It’s got five bedrooms so it housed all twelve of us with room to spare and three bathrooms. The kitchen is very much open space with all the kitchen utilities and even spices and condiments that you need. I found soy sauce in the cabinet ya’ll. And the living area is just as spacious with a view into the outdoor patio of the trees and trails readily available when you want to become one with nature. This cabin had all the cozy and chill wintery vibes. All the heart eyes for this cabin.

My family and I had such a wonderful time here in January, we are already making plans to book again this summer. The location couldn’t be more perfect with access to trails leading to amazing views of Donner Lake. It’s also only a short drive to downtown or Northstar Resort. We had a fantastic stay at this Bernese gem and cannot wait to come back!

We had an incredible time in Bernese Gem. From skiing in nearby NorthStar to sledding and snow shoeing right out of the back door! The house is beautiful, very spacious and super comfortable. We had plenty of room for 2 families. The kitchen is very well equipped. We enjoyed the jacuzzi and heated pool in the rec center. Definitely want to come back!

This is a beautiful, spacious home close to Tahoe Donner Downhill Ski Resort, stores, and downtown Truckee. The kitchen had plenty of dishes and utensils, and the beds were extremely comfortable. We found it very easy to care for our infant and 6-year-old, who both enjoyed the sledding hill out back. We look forward to staying here again when we visit the Tahoe Donner area.

The house was great, the management company was awful. They charged our credit card 10 times because they had different address on file and it wasn't working. Well that left those 10 charges pending so our credit card was maxed out tell it was finally posted as not pending. They also sent rude texts and emails for driver license copies or I wouldn't be able to check in. Trying to deal with the problems meant going through 1-800 numbers where nobody really cared what was going on. Would recommend avoiding turn key properties on here.

2 families (sisters+families) with kids ranging in age from 13-22 years enjoyed this lovely home for 4 days over the New Years holiday. Due to the unprecedented amount of snow there were a few hiccups regarding TurnKey attempting to cancel/change our arrival date but after too many phone calls and texts we managed to keep our original reservation. The house was awesome, perfect space for our crew. Clean, comfortable, and very well-stocked. The driveway was plowed, and the garage was wide, deep, and very clean. Super helpful for unloading and coming and going. Personally the existing pictures on the VRBO site does not do this home justice. There have been quite a few updates made and those updates deserve to be hi-lighted! We do have 2 “complaints”; 1. Could not find a blender anywhere (hand blender is not a substitute!) but we are willing to overlook that missing appliance since they have just about every other appliance you can imagine, and 2. Streaming tv/no cable is a challenge. We are all tech savvy and our adult children are experts when it comes to YouTubeTv/Netflix/Hulu/Apple Tv however if the WiFi struggles or isn’t working than those 4 awesome, huge flat screens in the house are for not. TV’s definitely struggled and were glitchy our first few days there and then New Years Eve the WiFi totally went out Couldn’t watch the ball drop, no Rose Bowl Parade, and had to watch the first of 3 bowl games New Years Day via hotspot on one of our phones. TurnKey was not helpful after hours of trying to work this out…we just came up with solutions on our own. I would not let this deter anyone from spending their vacation at this house, however if tv is important to you just be prepared for some glitches. The house and amenities were great and we really enjoyed our stay. We are never quite sure what we are going to get when we rent via these sites but this one was a definite crowd pleaser!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. With 4 little ones under the age of 4 there was plenty of space for the kids to run around. The location is very convenient to Donner Lake, downtown Truckee and local grocery store and restaurants. We highly recommend and would stay again!
