5.0 / 5.0
We really enjoyed this house. It was exactly the right size for us. We loved that it felt a little more remote than the other houses that we have stayed at in Tahoe Donner. The house had amazing views of the mountains from the back deck. My only complaint that I have is the house got a little hot during the day. Although, I can't fault the owners, we were in Truckee during an usually hot period. The owners did have fans in all the rooms, so that helped with the heat. The house was very comforable and had all things we needed.
Thank you!
We will use this house again.

The property was as listed and amenities were very good. The view looking out was very pleasant along with the weather. We had a very pleasant and enjoyable stay with nearby activities and closeness to downtown Truckee. We would use this property in the future

A bright, beautiful spacious house with gorgeous views. Fully and luxuriously equipped. All appliances feel new! Everything is spotless. We also spent countless hours playing the arcade games. Our group is unanimous: let’s always stay here!

The home is beautiful and so spacious - very kid friendly! The backyard has a nice and open space for the kids to sled. The only hiccup we had was the oven, it didn’t heat above 180 degrees so it was hard to cook out planned dinner. Otherwise, great location.
5.0 / 5.0
This is a fantastic place. We went during a historic snow storm. We noticed this location gets the most snow in the Truckee area and the least frequent snow plowing because the street is at the end-of-the-line. We shoveled 10 inches of snow 4 times over 2 days just to get in/out of the driveway. The novelty wore off quickly but we still had a great time and I would definitely rent the place again.

Beautiful clean house with an amazing view!
Beautiful & clean Home. Amazing views. Loved the trail system nearby for trail running & mountain biking. House had a fair amount of dog hair on furniture & carpets for a “no pet” home. Manager offered to send cleaning crew but we didn’t bother. Would be an issue for those with allergies tho. Would definitely come back to this beautiful home.

Great Views
The home is beautiful and everything is modern and in good condition. The pics match the actual house. Two minor issues: No king-sized bed and the main family room really only has seating for 5. We would rent it again.

Awesome Vacation Home
This is a house we will definitely be returning to in the near future. The week that we stayed, the air quality was actually pretty bad due to the wildfires. We were limited to how much we could go outside so we all appreciated the fact that the house was spacious, clean and comfortable. The neighborhood is quiet and close to downtown Truckee (great shopping and restaurants)! Everyone enjoyed our week-long visit and we are already looking at the calendar as to when we can return!

End of summer vacation
Great house, perfect for 6 adults, we could have accommodated more in the bunk room but younger children would work best there. Lots of open space, room for all to eat plays games etc.
Best equipped kitchen I ever experienced, they had everything.
Great view, when the smoke cleared out.
It is a little bit out of the way if your planning to go to Lake Tahoe for things, but manageable. It would be a perfect location if it was ski season!!

Large family cabin
Loved the property, perfect size for our family.
Home did not have enough paper sundries ( garbage bags,tp, paper towels ) for this price point I expected that.
In my past rentals , this has never been an issue.

Nice house but need little upgrades
The house is clean, spacious and light with nice views. We loved the neighborhood. It would’ve been nicer if there were more modern big TVs and more loungy living room with a bigger couch that fit more people comfortably. Also all the beds were a bit too small. The kitchen is pretty well equipped but pot and pens could’ve been in a better shape (like a new set from Costco). The refrigerator door needs to be adjusted as it wouldn’t easily.
Overall we had a good stay and enjoyed the house.

Beautiful home in an amazing location!
Brought an extended family up for a white Christmas. It was perfect. Easy access to all options for activities, meals or sports, but a perfect refuge when you wanted downtime. Clean, comfortable and large enough to feel spacious. Property management is excellent!

Great home for families.
The house was very nice. I was surprised at how well stocked the house was - paper products, soap, lotion, etc. Wonderful floor plan for families. We had a great time and looking forward to going back next year.

Family Vacation
Nice. Beautiful place. Appreciated that we were able to check in earlier than 4 due to no one being there prior to our arrival. Wish at least one bedroom would have had a king size bed. My mistake for not checking bed sizes before booking. No refunds after booking. Bedrooms could use hanging fans. Noise from downstairs/upstairs carries. A few spiderwebs. Construction noise from a new house being built could be heard. Refrigerator didn't keep items as cold as they should have been. Went to take grandkids to pool and it wasn't open due to pump issues. Overall we all had a good time being together in a beautiful place with beautiful views. 6 adults 5 grandchildren (13, 13, 10, 9 and 4).

Lovely Home
We had a wonderful stay. The home was quite spacious, and easily accommodated 6 adults and two small children. The living/kitchen area was perfect for hanging out, but we were all able to retreat to our own separate areas for some privacy. The kitchen was very well equipped. We cooked large meals on two occasions, and everything we could possibly need was stocked.
Our favorite part of the home was the breathtaking view. The windows were large and it was wonderful to sit together and look out over the scenery. Our kids were delighted to watch deer early in the morning from the large patio. We also enjoyed walking around the neighborhood. It's very quiet and peaceful and perfect for pinecone hunting.
The owner was very responsive to our inquiries about the area, and also helpful when we realized we had left something behind. Overall, we would absolutely recommend this property and stay here again. It truly felt like a home, and it was a perfect fit for our vacation.
