The house is in a great neighborhood and directly next to a stream which gives that beautiful sound of water all day long. Graham was very responsive and easy to deal with. It was also great to be able to bring both our dogs.

We loved this Donner house! Great location, beautiful property, with all the amenities you would need. We were only there a few days, but definitely felt like we could have stayed longer! Graham was great as well. We would love to stay again the next time we head up!

We really enjoyed our stay here. The house is spacious and comfortable. It's close to the grocery store, restaurants, and ski resorts. The beds and sofas were really comfortable and we all felt at home. The area downstairs is nice and spacious, a perfect spot for our kids to hang out. Graham was very communicative and understanding as we had to reschedule our trip due to bad weather.

This a lovely property. Very responsive host. We especially loved relaxing by the fire in the Eames chair. Although we didn't really use the downstairs, there is plenty of space for two families. When we were there, the Wii was not working, so bring board games and alternative activities if you are counting on the Wii for snowed in days. Overall, we had a great stay!

Comfortable home, convenient location
We had a fun winter weekend. This is a great location within Tahoe Donner and close to good trails for snowshoeing. We appreciated being able to bring the doggies! The kitchen was well stocked with tools & equipment, and the house was well appointed. Would rent again.

Beautiful home during a blizzard
Our family of 5 adults, 1 child and a dog rented this spacious, well equipped house for Christmas week. It was the perfect location to get snowed in during a snow storm that dropped over 6 feet of snow on Truckee.

Great Location
We had a blast at Graham’s home. It is in a perfect location with a great backyard. We enjoyed playing in snow out back and with foosball table downstairs. The beds were comfortable and the updates to the kitchen and bathrooms were a nice touch! The home was clean and the communication was great!

Perfect in every way!!!
We had the best time at this property and it had everything we needed and more. Snow play was close by for our 7 and 9 year old. Truckee is beautiful and downtown is just adorable. We would love to return in the summer for a totally different setting and experience.

Great snow getaway with our quarantine pod!
Great stay, tons of space and sleeping options, fully stocked kitchen, driveway was plowed after what appeared to be 5+ feet of snow fall! We enjoyed the fireplace and large dining table for dinner and games, cozy living room and our toddler son loved the mini sledding hill right behind the house. Our dogs enjoyed the big dog bed and toys as well as walks around the quiet neighborhood. We ended up buying a $5 parking pass to the SnoPark at Donner Summit. Definitely go early (by 8:00) on the weekends to get a parking spot. We carved out our own sledding hill in the woods and had a blast for hours. The sledding hill at the resorts are overpriced and for only a short time. We did notice Squaw has disco tubing at night which would have been fun had we not had our toddler son with us. Overall we really enjoyed our stay. Things that would have enhanced the stay....wishing the porches weren't covered with snow and ice as it would have been nice to sit outside or bbq. Obviously snow is inevitable this time of year. Everyone said the beds were comfy, however I think the basement pull out couch could use a new mattress and the murphy bed and loft alcove could use a mattress upgrade as well. We loved having the big media/movie options downstairs for our son, however with the adults upstairs in the evenings, having a smart tv and upgraded movie/roku options upstairs would have been nice as well. We would stay here again. Graham was very helpful and knowledgeable about the area.

The perfect fall get-away!!
I can't say enough good things about Graham's vacation home in Donner Lake! The house was beautifully decorated, so clean, perfectly sized for a family of 6 (with lots of room to spare.) It is located in an ideal location, close in proximity to Donner Lake, hiking, dining, etc. (We highly recommend the Donner Summit Canyon hike-gorgeous views of Donner lake and then a treat at the nearby ice cream shop afterwards.) We loved being able to bring our little dog along with us, as well. Graham was very responsive, and provided us with clear and easy-to-follow directions. This was our first family get-away since shelter-in-place began last spring and it was SO GOOD for the soul. Thank you so much for welcoming us into your exquisite vacation home, Graham! Our only regret is that we couldn't stay longer! We will be back!

Great Getaway with our Furkids
As essential workers during the pandemic, my husband and I have not had a moment to slow down since March. After deciding enough was enough we booked a last minute stay at Graham’s family cabin. From the moment we arrived to the time we left we had no complaints. Our dogs may be slightly terrified by the aliens (actually, deer but they don't believe us) that stopped by to drink out of the brook but besides that they enjoyed their stay as well. The drive to both Donner Lake and Tahoe were a breeze. We will return again and refer friends as well.

Nice family home
We enjoyed staying at this property, very comfortable, nice furnishings, and good feel overall. Strange basement access, with lots of stairs, but other than that, it was fine. We liked the babbling brook to the side of the home, and nice outside furniture with cantilever umbrella was fabulous. It was very nice to have access to garage for our bikes.
5.0
Pleasant comfy stay
It was a pleasant comfy stay with all amenities of feel like home. A home in the midst of lot of trees. A true spot to be away from urban life. Indeed spot couple of deer in the backyard. The ambiance of the home is great. Front yard deck for morning breakfast/brunch and the Back yard deck for relaxing eve. Kids enjoyed the small water stream next to the house. Movie nights, WII, Games, nearby lake and lot other indoor/outdoor activities. Definitely a place to relax and have fun with family n friends. Communication with property manager was excellent and friendly. All instructions were clear and precise.

Wonderful place to stay
We had a great time. House was very cozy and comfortable. We loved the front deck and ate most of our meals there. Beds were comfortable. Huge room downstairs with a foosball table. We enjoyed walking through the neighborhood and found a nice trail across the street.

Enjoyed our stay!
We had a great time at Graham's tahoe home.
It accommodated our family and another family perfectly. The fact that the cabin has three large bathrooms is a huge plus! The older boys stayed downstairs and loved having their own space. We played a few spirited games of foosball (kids and parents). The kitchen was well equipped and the house was easy to find, with easy entry and exit and super clean. We look forward to another stay in the future.

Nice location
We two couples enjoyed the house for a week in winter. Very cozy, nest heating system works great along with a wood stove. Mostly comfortable, good layout, some wood tables in the living room should be replaced one was actually propped up with coasters. The 4 peg coat rack in the hallway was missing a peg and about to lose another. The hot water in the kitchen came on quickly which was great for washing dishes. The dishwasher is extremely loud when running . Electric stove temps are tricky but the oven was fine. No pie plate for my quiche so I used a square pan no biggie. Our sponge was damaged somehow? We had to buy another and more paper towels. There are no tissues in the house I usually have a box in my car but I ran out. In winter there is really only one car space in the garage as they store deck furniture on half of one side in winter. The neighborhood was nice, quiet. It was a nice house with a few things in need attention.

Winter Wonderland in Truckee!
We had a great time playing in the snow with our family of 9 and 2 dogs. The house was perfect with the downstairs bedroom / game room where the 4 teenagers spent time playing football and on the Wii when not outside sledding. As the weather heading from So CA to Truckee was a challenge, Graham the host even offered to let us check-in early. The home was warm and cozy with a fireplace in the middle upstairs. This is a perfect place for large families with kids. Thank you Graham for allowing us to experience what Truckee and North Lake Tahoe has to offer.

Great winter stay
We were there after a huge storm so the driveway was tricky for the Honda minivan, which never made it into the garage, even with chains, and even though the driveway had been cleared earlier in the day (parking in the driveway was fine though). The Highlander had no problem. That being said, it was a lot easier to negotiate this driveway than a lot of the others in the neighborhood, and otherwise access to the house was a breeze. There's a great place right off the garage to store all your wet gear. The house heated up quickly. We didn't have anyone stay downstairs in the game room, but I imagine if we had, it might have been a bit tricky keeping that room warm enough overnight, without overheating the upstairs bedrooms. Also, the showers could probably use an update. But double sinks in both upstairs bathrooms were great. Beds and linens were nice, the kitchen was well stocked and easy to use, and the common areas were comfy with plenty of room to spread out for the 9 of us (4 adults, 5 kids). Lots of extra bedding (and beds!), towels, toilet paper, etc. Guest passes were a bonus to save $ at Tahoe Donner amenities, which are very close by and good for little kids. The location is also super convenient to the store, town, and 80. Looking forward to our next visit!

Great for Famiies, Well Equiped Home
Just enjoyed a wonderful 3-day weekend in this home. There was plenty of room for 12 of us (6 adults/6 children). Home is well equipped with everything you need - cookware and dishes, extra towels and bed linens. Adults could relax upstairs while the children enjoyed the game room downstairs, but also plenty of room for everyone to be together. Home was clean and well stocked. The owner was very responsive and easy to work with. We would definitely request to book this home again.

Good location, fun for families
The house is cozy with a good layout for families as there is a large bonus room downstairs where our older kids hung out (and slept) the whole time. Good location is Tahoe Donner. Graham was very responsive and easy to work with.
