About this property

Grand Vista Lodge - 5 BR with Views, Pool Table, Private Hot Tub & HOA Pool!

Designed for entertaining and providing one of the most expansive views of the Carson Range in Tahoe Donner, the Grand Vista lodge is the perfect retreat for a family gathering or a fun-filled holiday with friends. Spanning nearly 4,800 square feet, the Grand Vista lodge represents an eclectic mountain style that makes it sit stand out from the crowd.

Upon entry, your guests will be appreciate it's scale with massive vaulted ceilings and large picture windows framing the views beyond. You can't help but feel inclined to venture out to the spacious back deck to take in that view and maybe catch a glimpse of wild deer passing through the back yard. If it's too chilly outside, return indoors to the warm glow of the real wood fireplace to enjoy a good book and a warm drink.

Thick wooden beams and a stone fireplace fill the living room with natural texture, while leather sofas are soft and inviting. Not only does the fully equipped kitchen have a breakfast bar and high end stainless steel appliances, it features a double oven and six-burner gas cook top to make light work of meals. The farmhouse-inspired dining table will be the ideal locale for those memorable home-cooked deals.

The five bedrooms at this luxury vacation rental can accommodate up to thirteen guests. On the main floor a plush Primary suite offers panoramic mountain views as well as its own fireplace and luxurious Primary bath. Above the main living area, an extra sleeping loft includes two twin beds while the majority of the sleeping quarters are located, downstairs on the ground floor. As you enter the lower level, it's clear that the common areas are set up for evening entertainment. The pool table room enjoys the grand vistas and gas fireplace while the family room offers a comfy place for moving watching with a surround system and convenient beverage fridge.

Four guest rooms on this floor include two Primary suites with private ensuite bathrooms as well as direct access to the back deck and hot tub. The last two bedrooms share a full bath between them.

Great place for a ski trip in north Tahoe
Went here for a ski trip with friends and had an amazing time. The view is even more spectacular in person and the pool table was a great place to hang out after hitting the slopes!

-1 star for false advertisement -1 star for a leak The welcome book says we have access to amenities for $15 per person which was not true. “Included with your rental are two guest cards providing access to the amenities available in Tahoe Donner. Each guest card allows access for up to four guests over the age of 6. While this can change, guest access fees are currently $15 per person per day.” Included in this list of amenities are donner downhill ski resort so we planned our Sunday to get ready for a ski day. We're all geared up and when we get there they tell us the lift ticket is $86 per person even with the guest card. If we had known it was $86 we wouldn't have wasted our Sunday getting ready. We would have planned for something else. We turned around and went back to the house to play in the yard. Secondly there was a water leak coming from the ceiling in the downstairs tv room.

Insane View
One of the best vacation house I visited. It has everything you need: heated floors, a lot of restroom, a lot of space, BBQ grill, hot tub outside, two hot tubs inside, pool table, fusbol table, internet, TVS. Without the view this place is a 5 star place already. Unfortunately I can't give more than 5 stars. I definitely recommend this place.

Overall a positive experience with some caveats
The good: 1. The view! It is a spectacular setting. 2. This place is huge with generous common areas and easily accommodates multiple families. 3. The hot tub, pool table, and foosball were loved by all guests 4. The hill right outside our backdoor was perfect for sledding The less good 1. It seems like one day isn't enough time to turn a house this big around between guests--when we came there were linens in the dryer and a huge load of dishes in the dishwasher. It took us a day to figure out why there weren't enough towels or dishes. 2. This may seem minor, but we came in the evening ready to cook dinner and there wasn't any salt. This meant we had to spend 40 minutes (20 minutes there and back) in the snow driving to Truckee to buy salt. We left some for the next guests, but this seems an important item to provide for the price point of this place. Most guests would expect salt, sugar, maybe cooking oil? None of that was there, so come prepared for anything. 3. Although the kitchen had almost everything we needed, the organization was chaotic and it took us a while to get it all sorted out. Items are old and need updating (e.g., broken tea kettle) 4. This place feels like a rental without the special touches owners who visit frequently would consider or provide. 5. We were snowed in and snowed out (e.g., we couldn't get back home after skiing) because the street is the last to be snowplowed and then the snow in the driveway was too high to get out on New Year's Eve even after multiple guests shoveling on and off all day. All this is not the fault of the rental company, it's just something to know if you stay here--the location is a double edged sword in that it is spectacular, but can be hard to reach if there's a storm. I wish we'd paid more attention to the weather so we'd realized we wouldn't be able to get in or out for most of a day. That being said, we were there for a huge storm, so our circumstances were likely unusual! And again, I don't think I would have any of these complaints if the place weren't so expensive. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and we would recommend it.
