We stayed at this home for a winter snow getaway. The location was great and the home had breathtaking views of Donner lake. The kitchen was well stocked and the kids enjoyed the kids room with 3 twin beds and a foosball table.

Our family loved our stay in this home and especially loved the view of the lake. Perfect location close to friends in Truckee and short drives to ski resorts and other fun places. Rivian charging station is less than 5 min away from the house. Hot tub was key and my girls loved staying in the game room. Would stay here again in the future!

The property is well kept, spacious, and endows the beautiful scene of Donner Lake across the street. The area is deliciously quiet, and most of the items you need to cook are available in the unit. We will definitely be back.

The property and location were exceptional. The only negatives were we were given the wrong entry code and could not enter the property but luckily the cleaning service was there to let us in. We were provided misinformation about certain amenities that supposedly were not provided and finally certain utensils were in need of replacing. Overall it was a great stay.

I don’t know what they could do to this house to make it look even more beautiful. We had an amazing stay here. The kitchen was stocked with everything a chef and baker could possibly want. The views from almost every room in the house were stunning. We had lunches and dinners out on the patio and movie nights in the family room. I saw some other reviews that mentioned no cable. This is common in the area for houses. The hosts left very good instructions for how to connect with cable through YouTube and we were able to set up all of our streaming services. So there was no problem whatsoever. I can’t wait to return to this house with friends and family.

Overall, we were happy stayed at this property and I, as a host recommend to my friends and others this place is very good , however when I booked this property the pictures and informations was exactly matched the same that I wanted, but one week before checking they mentioned that one of the shower of 3 bathrooms is out of order because of leaking, so one of my senior’s guest couldn’t use the other bath tub.

The main room offers ample room to view the lake, cook, watch the cooking, or lounge on the large sectional. The kitchen is well furnished for all types of cuisine (knives could be sharpened). The upstairs loft (2 rooms) is perfect for our teenagers and friends, while the lower level has three spacious bedrooms. We all appreciated the contemporary interior & decor! We will definitely return to stay.

This house was exactly what we wanted for our trip to donner lake. It was beautiful, clean, spacious, and very well furnished. The beds and couch was all very comfortable and we felt right at home.
There are a couple of things that could make this house perfect, and they’re why I’m giving 4/5 stars. The lighting in the entire house is harsh, white light bulbs. If you’re anything like my group, lights set the entire vibe and these lights were so harsh. Thankfully we found 2 lamps in the house that had warm light bulbs and set those up in the living room, but it was too dark. I would highly recommend to the owners to swap the bulbs for soft neutral or warm lights! Secondly, the stairs that lead from the deck don’t go all the way down to the road so we had to walk down the back road to get to the water. Still doable, but would have been much easier access if the stairs went all the way!
Overall I would still highly recommend this house and I will definitely book again!

We had a great weekend. We came with our adult children and grandson for weekend snow play. There was a winter storm, that closed everything down but we had so much fun playing in the snow right where we were. Our host was responsive and and made our extra night stay due to weather very easy. I just can't say enough good stuff. Beautiful inside and out.

House was plenty spacious and had beautiful views of Lake Donner. For $600 per night, comfortability was a bit of an issue. The house lacked amenities. We had to go purchase TP (sandpaper) soap (size of a matchbook), shampoo (none), conditioner (none), paper towels, etc. Furniture and beds were uncomfortable and water pressure was low. It was also a warm week so we kept windows open at night and closed them around 10am and it was uncomfortably hot in the house by 2pm. For $300-$350 per night this is a great place to stay. Side note: nothing is really open in the Donner Lake area Mon-Thurs.

It lived up to our expectations in all regards. The house is very spacious and has a great rustic feel with the decorations and the furniture. The kitchen was functional and reasonably stocked. We loved the balcony and the snow outside the house.
The in house heating was slow to catch up the first night but the manager promptly delivered space heaters which fixed it. Overall great stay!!

The place was so cozy. Perfect location, half a mile to the west side of the lake. The view from the deck is gorgeous. The hot tub was a plus. The space accommodated my family. My children loved the big connect 4 and jenga game. The master bedroom and the jet tub was amazing. My only complaint is that there was no AC and it was a hot weekend. We were sweating by 5p all the way through the night.

Our entire group of 8 adults was very pleased with our recent 3-night stay. The property was very clean and roomy enough for all of us to enjoy. We felt that the bed sizes in the two bedrooms seemed more like full sized beds instead of queen.

This was a great experience. Beautiful home with gorgeous views. There were a few maintenance issues but I still give this a 5 star review. Veggie sink garbage disposal smells horrible had to put drain stop in needs to be replaced. MB toilet needs new fill valve. Main floor shower leaked into downstairs bedroom. Put towel down at front floor and that stopped it. Futon bed in game room had hard time opening and couldn’t close it. None of that bothered us because everyone had a great time. Views of lake were awesome. I would definitely rent this place again if it was available next time. Thank you so much for the use of your beautiful home.

We loved our stay and thought the house was great! We did have some issues with the thermostats and heating the house. It was quite chilly but we were able to reach out for help and they responded right away. I do suggest updating that binder with better tips on using the thermostat. The hot tub was very relaxing and a perfect ending to our day. Location was great. Thank you! We will be returning :)
