We liked the house & location, but needs some maintenance and minor repairs (patio door handle , shower door handle; hot tub maintenance, smoke detectors malfunctioning). The ad for the house said we had full access to the rec center pool & fitness, but I don’t recall it mentioning a $20. Fee per person>6. The host was quickly responsive to texts. Again we loved the location and area, just had some issues with the house.

We had 8 adults visiting for a golf trip and the house worked perfect.

We had a wonderful stay. There was plenty of room for our 4 families, which surprised us because we had never tried to find a single house for that many people before. But the setup works great: the common areas upstairs afforded plenty of room for all of us to hang out together, although it was rarely tested as the bottom floor had all sorts of space and diversions for the kids, right next to their own bunk room and bathroom. The middle floors were perfect for us four couples and a couple of the littler kids to sleep closer to their parents. The yard was perfect for some serious sledding runs and snowball fights, and the hottub provided well-needed rest after skiing/snowboarding. Everything worked well and was in great condition, and the love and care of Matt and his family was evident throughout. Matt was great with communication and obviously a really nice person. We're all looking forward to booking a trip here again next winter!

Home was plenty big enough, lots of space for adults and children. Kitchen had everything we needed to prepare a Thanksgiving dinner. I would definitely stay here again.

The property is beautiful, open and a comfortable space. The host was very responsive and helpful. We BBQ'ed, went on walks and watched the stars from the top deck. My family thoroughly enjoyed their stay and we hope to come back next year. It is one of the only places I have found that was able to accommodate my large family.
Spent a day at Donner Lake and the next day on the Truckee River. All very close and easy to get to.
Thank you, Matt!

We really enjoyed our stay. A beautiful cabin, clean, stocked well and very easy to communicate the Matt. We would definitely rent this place again. It’s a beautiful area and close to the lake, golf and other activities we enjoyed.

House was perfect for our family of 8 kids, 8 adults. Plenty of space. Game room downstairs was great for kids. My one son has allergies to dust, cats and dogs and he had no issues in this house where we have had issues in other houses we’ve rented. One thing to keep in mind is to crush cans and minimize trash throughout the week as the trash can was full upon arrival (assuming from previous renters) so we had to be careful to not have more trash than the beatbox could hold. Kitchen was well equipped. We cooked several meals for large groups and there was enough space for multiple people to be working at the same time. Lots of games available which were fun. Hot tub was clean and nice during chilly evenings and mornings. Would definitely return to this home and recommend to others.

We were a large family group with adults and kids. The house worked extremely well for us. It’s very well-stocked for cooking One highlight was the kids bedroom and recreation room on the bottom level. There was also a lot of equipment for the baby we had with us and many games and toys for the six and nine-year-olds.
The owner was readily available by text and phone and was very easy to work with. We highly recommend this house.

Fantastic stay for a party of 10 people. The check-in process was super easy, the house was incredibly well-equipped and we had an amazing time. Took advantage of the sleds and built a killer sled track right out the back steps. Would absolutely recommend this home to anyone. There was more than enough space for everyone and we had a great time.

This property is truly amazing! The location was perfect…just minutes from shopping and dining. The owner (Matt) quickly answered questions we had when we arrived. Perfect layout…living room, kitchen, dining room, and jacuzzi on the main floor and then the rooms on the floors below. The bunk room and the pool table (bottom floor) were a big hit with the kids!!! Look forward to coming back next year!!!

The whole family had a great time. 6 kids played by themselves a lot. Someone had made a great sled run behind the property. Clean, beautiful, and the kitchen was well stocked. Property manager was helpful, even with weather reports. Exceeded our expectations. Lots of thoughtful extras.

Beautiful and spacious house in a great location. Had all of the amenities we wanted in a Tahoe house from a hot tub to a shelf full of games and puzzles. Plenty of space for 3 families to spread out. We cooked every night and had everything we could possibly need for meal prep. Host was easy to work with and helpful with suggestions. The only issue we had was the overall cleanliness. Perhaps housekeeping was overwhelmed but we thought the kitchen could have been cleaned better-there was some old food in the back of the freezer, the pantry shelves were filthy, the floor was dirty and we found clothes behind furniture while trying to plug a lamp in. We didn't have a bath mat for each shower/tub and some bathrooms had beach towels hanging in them so that was a bit confusing. Overall it's an amazing house and we would return!

We spent a lovely weekend in this great home. The location and views of the forest are perfect. The kitchen is well stocked and all the amenities are perfect. There was so much snow and sledding and snow play directly out the back door. Great communication with the owner who was even keeping us updated on some potential road closures. My children and grandchildren and I all had a lovely peaceful weekend!

Matt's house is spread out over three levels and well equipped to handle our 3 generation family. It is everything we could imagine to give us a comfortable and fun weekend in the mountains. We found our host easy to comminicate with. The Tahoe Donner area is a beautiful location.

The house has a nice great room with the kitchen, dining room and living room all together. We spend most of our time here cooking, playing games, watching movies and sitting by the fire. There is also a nice hot tub right off of this room. The bedrooms were also spacious and well-appointed. The kids loved the pool table room as well. Overall great house and great host. Thank you, Matt.

We stayed over Christmas weekend with family and had a blast! They have a ton of toys in the bunk room for kids. We were able to sled out in the back everyday and build really fun runs. Matt was very responsive when I had questions about the property, they also had an information sheet about the property when we got there. This is a special vacation rental. We would love to stay here again.

Perfect for families
We had an amazing extended weekend at Matt's home. The house was perfect for our 3 generations family gathering. The cousins loved sleeping in the bunkroom, and each adult couple had a comfy retreat room. The main living area is bright and cheery, and overlooks the beautiful mountains and forest. Its's well located within the Tahoe Donner community. The kitchen is exceptionally well stocked...even a burr grinder for all the coffee "snobs" we have in our family! In fact, the entire house is well appointed. We loved this place and were sad when we had to leave.

What an Amazing Home!
We stayed at Tahoe Donner as a family group of 13 (8 Adults/2 Teens/3 kids) and we had plenty of room to spare. The kids loved it. They had room to roam and we didn’t feel on top of each other. The house was super clean and comfortable. We ended up staying during the Dec 2021 Storm and we were snowed in for a week with a couple of days without power. We could not have asked for a better place to be! It was such a fun adventure and we made memories for a lifetime! Some of the best snow play and sledding was right outside the door. Matt is the ABSOLUTE best!! I can’t say enough good things. He communicated with us through the entire process and made sure we had everything we needed including weather and traffic info and shovels which we used…every day. We could not have asked for a better host. We will definitely be back! I highly recommend staying here.

Perfect Large Family getaway
We had three generations of family. The bunk area was perfect for the 6 kids aged 5-16. Bedrooms are spacious and comfortable and the common areas are a great gathering area. We had a very enjoyable week and send a big “thank you” to Matt for making everything so comfortable.

Loved this family home away from home!
We were 6 adults and 7 children from 0-18, and really appreciated the BIG house! Our family had a chance to vacation together first time since COVID-19 and this was the perfect place! Thanks, Matt for being a great host and available for any issue we had.

Perfect summer getaway for three families
We stayed at the property with our kids and two other families (11 people total). The house was a perfect size for us - plenty of room to spread out and the great room was a great space for meals, games, and hanging out. The house was very safe for our younger kids and even came with a gate to block off the stairs (as well as tons of kids games and other supplies). The kitchen was very well stocked and had everything we needed for cooking big meals. Matt was extremely communicative and helpful before and throughout our stay, and the location is very convenient (close to Donner amenities, Truckee, etc). I would highly recommend this house for your Tahoe vacation!

Fantastic!
We found the size and location of this cabin ideal for our family getaway. It was very clean and updated, and the owner was very responsive. The cabin had everything we needed. Having the kids play in the snow just in the back of the cabin was great. We definitely had a five star experience.

We loved the layout of this home. The 5 bedrooms worked out great for our group. Our grandkids were thrilled with the bunk room and enjoyed having the entire downstairs to themselves. That left the middle floor for the adults with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms on the middle floor the accommodations were perfect.The kitchen was setup for great cooking and we all enjoyed eating together at the large dinning table. Plenty of dishes, glasses and cookware. The kids wanted to eat every meal at the bar.Matt was a great host and has really created a fantastic home to relax, enjoy the views and unplug if you want to.Another great trip to Truckee!

My friend and I brought our 17-year-olds and their pod to Tahoe for a change of scenery and morale boost. It was absolutely perfect. The house has so many great spaces for the 5 teens to spread out and attend online school. 5 simultaneous zooms at any given time and the WiFi worked perfectly. The location was perfect to access everything in Truckee including hiking trails, the lake etc. Highly recommend!

Great weekend getaway
Took our family here for a long weekend. The house was ideal. It is located in a quiet neighborhood a few minutes from Truckee and Lake Donner. Made it very convenient for enjoying the lake. House was super clean and had tons of room for everyone. Large kitchen/dining/living room on the top floor where everyone can hang out. Then the bedrooms are on separate floors so everyone had there own space. Enjoyed sitting in the hot tub every night looking at the stars. Would definitely stay here again if it is available.
