House was very roomy for our 9, good location to the attractions of Donner Lake/Truckee area. We would stay there again.
4.0 / 5.0
Overall we had a wonderful time at this cabin!
The Pros- We loved that they had sleds to use. And since the property is on a bit of a hill, we were able to carve out some fun runs in the backyard. We also built a snowman and snow fort on the deck. Kids had so much fun! The kitchen table was great for meals and games. Plenty of rooms and beds for all. We were able to cook breakfast and dinners with the pans and utensils provided. It was only 8 minutes to Tahoe Donner and we enjoyed both skiing and sledding therr. Internet and Netflix were easy to access.
Cons- The coffee table was broken on arrival so we just put it in the garage. The washer and dryer was full of wet clothes. Didn’t love the shampoo/conditioner/body wash—it was granulated and you had to activate with water. Fortunately I had brought some from home but others in our party did not. The driveway is really steep. If you come when it snows, keep chains on your vehicle so you can get back out. The guest passes to the rec center were still more than we wanted to pay with the discount so we opted not to use those.
Overall, it was a solid stay. I really enjoyed their tall windows and loved the view of the majestic, snow covered trees all around the property.

5.0 / 5.0
This house was perfect for a weekend of snowplay! We were two families with 6 kids between us (3 infants) and the house was a great size for us to spread out. The large backyard was ideal for sledding - the kids were in snow heaven! Kitchen was well stocked for cooking (although we also took advantage of the delicious takeaway pizza at the community pizzeria very close by). In addition to beautiful views into the forest, the house has a well-loved, cozy feel. Highly recommended!
3.0 / 5.0
Nice location and comfortable for 4 couples. Kitchen was well stocked, however, all the closets were a mess. Extra blankets were just thrown in the closets not even folded. The garage was very dirty and full of stuff making it hard to get two vehicles in the garage.Furniture is worn out. We notified the management company when we first arrived and again the following day that the master bathtub faucet was broken. No one ever came to repair it.

We had a great stay at this beautiful Snow Globe House with another family. It was everything we could’ve hoped for and more. Not only did we get a ton of snow and have some fun ski days and snow play, but the house was inviting, cozy, and the fireplace was so welcoming. The floor to ceiling windows in the living room look out on the most beautiful snow-covered forest, and there were plenty of sleeping areas for adults and kids alike. There is a teenagers’ room upstairs with beanbags, a TV, a mini fridge and multiple beds. There were sleds for us to use in the large open backyard, sliding down the slopes and building snowmen. The kitchen is so well equipped, we made all of our meals there. It had everything we could possibly need from spices to wine glasses to dishware and appliances. There are two bathrooms upstairs and two bathrooms downstairs. Two showers upstairs and a shower and a bathtub downstairs. That made it so easy to accommodate everyone in our large group in the daily morning rush to get outside and play.
The house was clean and well-maintained.
As far as location, this house is beautifully situated, located in a quiet neighborhood near a golf course, but close enough to be able to get into town (a 10 minute drive) and with convenience shops and a complete snowplay area even closer by, the Tahoe Donner community area. The community area has swimming pool, gym, fitness classes, yoga, sledding, snow tubing, cross country skiing and fun events. We snowshoed on the golf course.
It was amazing - we will definitely go back to the Snow Globe House!

5.0 / 5.0
We stayed here for a multi-family ski trip and loved the spacious house, abundance of kitchen equipment for group meals, and fantastic location - 7 min to Donner ski resort and 20 min to Boreal. The house was clean and individual soap, shampoo, and conditioner like a hotel was appreciated.
We had only one issue during our stay that was avoidable. I would ask that the property management company add to their checklist a review of the scheduled temperature settings in advance of new guests. We thought the heat was broken our first morning, only to later realize the digital thermostat was set to 40F at 5:30am each morning! Due to the size of the home and high ceilings, it took 12 hours for the heat to rise to mid 60s temp. All of us wore jackets and hats indoors, including a 1 year old.
5.0 / 5.0
This cabin was perfect for our family! Check in was easy. The kitchen had everything we needed to make meals. Plenty of towels, linens and pillows. Lots of games that kept the kiddos occupied at night. The master bed was comfortable. The backyard was the perfect place to let the kids sled and play in the snow. We would definitely stay here again!

Reviewer Comments:
This is a great family-friendly Tahoe home. We had 2 young kids with us and the house was equipped with everything to keep us entertained: board games, puzzles, xbox, and sleds. The kitchen was also fully stocked with all the pots, pans, dishes, and spices you could need for cooking. The cleaning crew could have done a slightly better job - some spots around the sofas weren't vacuumed, a few dishes were still dirty, lamp shades hadn't been dusted in a while, and the ashes from the fireplace were not thrown out from the last guests. Our trip took a turn when we got snowed in during Tahoe's biggest snowstorm in years. We had several power outages, and days with the driveway and roads not getting cleared - preventing us from getting to a store for food (thanks to friendly neighbors for giving us some supplies!). The day we were supposed to check out, we literally couldn't drive out of the house and all the highways were closed. Instead of Turnkey offering to let us stay, they initially wanted us to leave even when we told them we had no way to leave and nowhere to go. After we told them we had to stay for safety, they still sent a cleaning crew by which we had to turn away and even had to help push their car as they got stuck on in the snow. Turnkey could have been more understanding and accomodating of the situation, but the house itself was spacious, comfortable, and close to lots of winter amenities.

Beautiful home for a weekend stay. Located in a beautiful neighborhood just north of the lake. Home was stocked with a plethora of kitchen appliances, utensils, pots and pans. Enough to comfortably make dinner for a group of 10. The fireplace furnace came in clutch. Wood inventory in the garage was enough for two winters. Only negatives were, the outside trash bin was full prior to our stay, outdated furniture, and did not have sponges for dishes. Overall, would recommend!

Clean house. Well-equipped kitchen except for dorm-room sized microwave. Nice layout. Seems a little pricey compared to similar houses we've stayed at in Tahoe Donner but maybe that is just the state of the market.
2.0 / 5.0
Location was beautiful. Upon arrival lots of spider webs, and musty, but overall clean. Wear shoes on the deck. It definitely needs refinishing. Check in guide needs to be updated. Overall we had fun, close to everything, teen room was great for the kids. Would stay again.

Really accessible, easy check in, price was affordable, and the location really perfect.
2.0 / 5.0
There were pluses and negatives with our stay at this house. Two positives: Good size home that was well-stocked with amenities; all appliances worked and Turnkey followed up on needs.
Two negatives: A seven out of ten on cleanliness; not enough garbage cans in bear box to accommodate trash for the week when we had large family dinners.
2.5 / 5.0
Perfect house for our family of 8. Since we had a 5 yr old w us, Tahoe Donner ski resort was perfect for beginners.
