The townhouse was perfect for our family of four. Everyone loved the arcade table that was used everyday. The charging stations in every room was very much appreciated! The house could use some updating and some additional kitchen items (utensils, small pots), but for the price and location it was just what we needed. We would definitely stay here again.
Overall we enjoyed our stay. Home was in a good location. The neighborhood was quiet and safe. The kids enjoyed playing in the snow right outside the door. Our only suggestion would be to have additional utensils and cookware in the kitchen. With 6 people we constantly ran out of utensils to eat and didn't have enough pans to cook everything at once
Adorable place, easy access to the parking area- super quiet and clean! Would definitely stay here again- chose it based on closeness to Sugarbowl- Boreal was close to! Highly recommend
So cozy and perfect for the holiday season. We enjoyed everything the resort had to offer and loved the quite cozy vibe of the unit even more!!
Check in a breeze and host was a pleasure. 10/10 would stay again!!
We were so impressed with this condo! It was perfect for our family with a small children. The property owner was very helpful and responsive when we communicated with her. I’d highly recommend this condo for your Truckee vacation!
We really enjoyed our stay, the condo has everything that a family would need, it is cozy and comfortable with great views. My kids especially appreciated the popcorn and the hot cocoa, the little touches make all the difference. Kitchen is well equipped if you decide to cook at the house. Place is very well maintained, the host was super friendly and very responsive. We will definitely book this place again for our next trip.
This is a nice and spacious unit, with 4 levels, at Tahoe Donner. Everything was as depicted in the photos. The unit has a good view from the lower level. Appliances and heating worked well. The host was very responsive and accommodating when dealing with one issue that came up. Self check-in was straightforward; I easily found the unit based on the instructions and accessed a lockbox to retrieve a physical key. However, a few things were less than optimal. First, the cleaning seemed to be minimal; the carpet had been vacuumed, but otherwise things were not very clean. When I first entered there was a noticeable dog smell, though pets are not allowed. Various things such as the interior of the refrigerator, drawers in the kitchen and bedrooms, etc. looked like they had not been cleaned in quite a while. The towels in the master bathroom were not clean; though I later found a clean set in the dryer. Second, the path leading to the unit doesn't seem to be as well maintained as for other units at Tahoe Donner. Even in May, there was a large mound of snow blocking about 2/3 of the path. Third, the blinds in the bedrooms don't seem to close fully (they seem to be about 6-12 inches too short for the windows). Fourth, I didn't find the futon seating for the TV room all that comfortable (whereas on the lower level the couch is quite comfortable, however unlike most of the Tahoe Donner units, there is no TV on the lower level, just a large mirror above the fireplace).
We booked again after our first stay and loved coming back to the same spot! Melissa was helpful and responsive and honored our request for a little extra time at checkout without much notice from us. This really is the perfect setup for our family (2 adults and 2 kids, 6 +4yr)
Thank you for a great weekend!
We have a large family and needed more space than our house could provide so I rented this condo for my daughter and her family to use. They really liked it and we will definitely use this again if the need arises.
The tail-end of the Biggest Winter at Tahoe Donner
This was a great base for my adult daughter and I for a couple of days of skiing at Tahoe Donner and environs--one day of spring skiing on closing day of the resort, and then a great day of touring in six inches of cold non-Sierra Cement. Access was a challenge due to the immense snowpack, but we figured it out. Access to the lifts couldn't have been any easier. Looking forward to a return next year.
All in all, a very nice stay. The condo is well appointed, it is very clean, and the owner helpful. That said, prospective renters might be interested to know that the complex is located
on a hill and requires climbing a steep stairway for entry. Once inside, the unit is situated on four separate levels...definitely not for those with mobility issues.
Nice property but several issues made it not worth the high cost
The property was really nice and owner was really quick with communications. But, not necessarily the fault of the owner, their washing machine broke shortly before our arrival which was a key feature we were looking for when making the reservation. Resulted in a lost afternoon with hours at the laundromat. A new washer is expected next week so hopefully not a problem for the next person. Missing towels and no coffee provided was also a disappointment, but towels were dropped off a couple hours later and the owner did provide a small discount. Still not worth the nearly $500 we paid (even after the discount) for the one night we stayed there.
A lot of work to get there in winter, but worth it
I will caution, arriving at night during winter with several feet of snow on the ground… this place is hard to find and hard to get to. Even with the helpful instructions from the owner, it was a trek to get to and hard to bring luggage in in the snow. In summer? I bet zero issues.
Regardless, it was a spacious place with everything we needed, plenty of options for those staying to spread our. Having the mud room in such snowy conditions was absolutely amazing. We didn’t have to trek in the ice and could dump all the gear before entering. There was a helpful binder with all the bits that need to be known about the property, a great go to for figuring out the heating, etc. There were extra towels and bedding, toiletries on hand, we had everything needed for our short stay.
As others have said, if you have mobility issues this will not be a good fit. Other than that, fantastic.
We spent many winter vacations in the area, and Melissa’s condo did not disappoint. It was very clean and the listing was accurate. If you are looking for a condo close to the slopes and have a larger party (we are a family of 6, including teenagers), this condo is awesome.
Stayed one night. The size of the condo was good and accommodated our family of five. Sleeping arrangement was good. Kitchen amenities were okay. Getting in and out of the condo was my only issue as the paths are not well maintained during the winter months. Caution is necessary and they are covered in ice.
