this property is as the slogan says "Beautiful Family Home, great ski location, perfect for families, quiet location." On top of that, we are so appreciative of how proactively informative and responsive the owners are, especially this snow season has been tumultuous. They really had us, the renter's best interest at heart. Now onto the home, very spacious and bright with everything you would need in a home. We really enjoyed spending time with the kids in the very cozy kids room. We hope to visit again next season.

We came up for a ski weekend and enjoyed the house. The kitchen is very nice and we cooked a lot of great meals for our 10-person group. Also easy to hang out and watch TV together. The sleeping arrangements were fine, everything was clean and worked well. A couple minutes' drive to the Tahoe Donner downhill ski area so that was convenient. We really liked it and would stay here again.

My grandkids (1yr - 14 yr) really enjoyed the slope in the backyard. The area kept them busy outside. We had plenty of room for them to play inside too. Thank you.

Our three day stay with 6 adults and 4 kids went perfectly. Hosts Lynn and Patrick were as gracious as could be and offered several great activity suggestions that we took them up on. The house is represented accurately on vrbo and has a great lay-out for adults and kids being able to enjoy their own spaces. Location is great and had no trouble navigating in and out with snowy conditions.I highly recommend staying at this wonderful house.

Right next to the golf course and the neighborhood was quiet. There was a small issue that was IMMEDIATELY addressed and fixed. The house was awesome and the kids loved it. This isn’t 12 people crammed into a small space. Plenty of room for everyone to move around.
