Comfortable home

This is a nice home with enough room for 2 families. The check-in process was easy and we liked that there was plenty of space for 2 vehicles in the garage. One comment - there were so many light switches, and it would have been helpful if they were labeled. Not a huge deal but would be a nice touch. Other pros: Spacious living room with high ceilings AND a separate office with a door; 2 full baths that each had a tub and shower; bunk room was great for kids; close to everything in Truckee and a short drive to ski resorts; kitchen had a good variety of spices and basics. Plenty of linens and some fun books and games for guests to use! Cons: didn't love the shower in the main upstairs bathroom (it was difficult to change the height positioning and only offers one spray pattern); fixtures definitely had wear and tear; there was only body wash supplied in the upstairs bath (no shampoo or conditioner) and even then the pump to the body wash was broken; no hair dryer in the upstairs bath. Also, there's a cut out window in the primary bedroom that does not have a glass. This meant noise from the living room downstairs could be heard in the bedroom and also provided no privacy in the bedroom. The light from the living room also shines directly through this window into the bedroom. A strange design that made the bedroom more like a loft. Overall a good stay and a comfortable home, but some details that could turn this house from good to great!

Ski trip

Great house with plenty of space. Owners even had extra borrowable snow clothes for small children, tons of books, and a few games. Back would be good for sledding, but we didnt have much snow. Master is nice. There is a bathroom between 2 bedrooms. They have many extra linens. There are tvs in the living room and study areas. Owners leave helpful notes around the house. That drive is extremely steep, which the owner is very clear about. The road it is on is busy, so pro is it gets plowed, con you hear the plow at 3am. Its a good rental.

Why they chose this property

The reason we chose this location is I love how close everything is! Markets and restaurants are just minutes away. Donner Lake is gorgeous and only a five-minute drive from our home. Several ski resorts are within a 20 minute drive or less. I lived in the Eastern Sierra for eight years and I am not crazy about driving around during snow storms. I looked at property closer to Lake Tahoe, but when I thought about all the extra driving and traffic, I decided I would rather spend less time on the road. I love the amenities at Tahoe Donner. And a big plus is how many ski resorts are easy to get to without having the nightmare of driving around Lake Tahoe traffic just to get to a resort.
