This was an excellent VRBO. It had everything that I needed for the week. I traveled with work companions and it worked well for us , it would also be ideal for a family. I was very impressed and would recommend to anyone traveling to Tahoe!
Property was excellent and our stay was wonderful. The house is well maintained and you can tell it's cared for and loved. It felt to us like staying at a friend's house for the weekend. Couldn't recommend this home more highly.
Third time renting this Tahoe Donner home! Celebrating parents 70th wedding anniversary, this home is one level and great for seniors. Clean and very comfortable. Home has everything you need for an enjoyable weekend celebrating family!

Lovely place in the winter
Cozy, comfortable, great location and plenty of room. Our family got sick, so a trip planned on the slopes turned into lounging around the cabin. However, with the great kitchen, couches, and entertainment, plus snow to play with in the yard in short burts, everyone had a great time.
Really great house. My husband and I went with our 2 children ages 5 & 7. We loved how quickly they came to fix some broken fire alarms. Guest passes were included for discount to the Tahoe Donner snow play. We loved it and would go back!

Cozy Escape
This home was a lovely little cozy escape! All of the furnishings, appliances and decorative touches were of great quality. The home was clean. The beds were superb.The location is in the quiet woods and the views of the stars were breathtaking. We had everything we needed for a short weekend. Short drive to the beaches/lakes. Nice for a small group or family.
Perfect Property, and located in the right location near local shopping (ie Safeway). The property looks just like the pictures. It was extremely clean, and had plenty of towel, and blankets. Property management was very attentive, and checked in to see if we needed anything via text. I will definitely recommend and rent this property again. Thanks for making our staycation pleasant.

Hi Paul, We appreciate you taking the time to leave this review and thank you for taking care of our property as if it were your own. We are so pleased to hear that you recommend our home and that you enjoyed our service. You were wonderful guests, please come back anytime! -The TurnKey VR Team
Great property, especially when you have a senior with you! All one floor and accessible. Brought my 80+ year old mom and she was quite comfortable. My teen son was happy as the property has wifi. This property has everything you could want, including great wine glasses! We love Tahoe Donner and it's great facilities for both winter and summer fun. We will be returning and booking this property.

Everything exceeded our expectations. The only thing I'd make sure you had for future guests would be more lighting on the porch. We had to use our phones to light up the padlock. Other than that everything was incredible!

Enjoyed our stay here during the winter season. Only hiccup we had was the key code provided didn't work upon our arrival but that got taken care of very quickly with a phone call. After entering into the property, it was very clean. The kitchen was well equipped with utensils and cooking hardware. Thank you for making it a very pleasant stay

Cozy getaway for our family
We booked this home for a Christmas getaway for our family. There were 6 of us and the space accommodated the group perfectly. I was pleased with how clean and well-stocked the rental was upon arrival. The walkway was even shoveled so there was no issue getting to the doorway which we appreciated. The response time of the rental company was also excellent. We had trouble connecting to the WiFi and our issue was instantly resolved. The location of the property was great. We were a quick drive from both Northstar and Squaw Valley as well as Safeway. I would highly recommend this rental and would certainly stay again.

Hello Lindsey,
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review and share your experience! We’re so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay with us. You were perfect guests, and we look forward to next time! -The TurnKey VR Team
This house gets a 5-star rating for comfort, quality, and location. Kitchen was well equipped with gas stove, nice refrigerator, and good cooking pots, knives, etc., Beds were super comfy and master bedroom bathroom is upgraded and large with double shower. The second bathroom is small and nothing special but clean with good water pressure and heat. This property would be a 5-star rating; however, WIFI and TV are not reliable and dealing any issues was very difficult...via text only.

Reviewer Comments:
We booked a long term stay here and we had an absolutely lovely time. The property was clean, well stocked, great location and TurnKey was super responsive whenever we needed something. I really appreciate how well stocked the kitchen was - it made it very easy to cook and enjoy meals with our family. We loved the cozy family room and stargazing on the deck. I loved the location and how easy it was to head out on a hike or a beautiful walk through the neighborhood. We would definitely book this house again in the future!
Our trip was cut short due to severe winter storm. I have never purchased travel insurance before. This will change my future plans. We only stayed 1 of 3 nights. Total bummer, but I didn’t want to risk our safety. Otherwise the house was nice and the location was suitable.

Sadly, the house was supposed to have a/c— it did not. We contacted turn key, spoke with three different reps— no one followed through. ALL I CAN SAY IS TURN KEY IS NOT A REPUTABLE COMPANY.

Reviewer Comments:
The house was very clean, we enjoyed the guest passes for the rec center, and we liked the tv/movie options for the evenings. We had mostly everything we needed, but we've stayed places that had better stocked kitchens- we had to go out and get a new scrub/sponge for dishes, paper towels (we were provided with much less than a quarter of a roll), and dishwasher soap. Also, we were disappointed the deck was full of snow. We understand it is winter, but it would have been nice to be able to use the deck in the afternoons for après-ski since it was so sunny and on the warmer side.

That being said, we are sorry to hear about the issues you encountered and for any inconvenience this caused as well. We wish we had known during your stay so that we could have helped out then -- our 24/7 guest hotline is always available if anything ever comes up while staying at one of our properties. Please know that we are following up with our Housekeeping Team to make sure they are adequately stocking the home with consumables during their cleans. We would also like to note that our vendors make all attempts to clear snow prior to check-in, but there is a snow shovel available in the garage if needed. If there is anything we can still do for you, reach out anytime and let us know. -The TurnKey VR Team

Reviewer Comments:
Nicely equipped and updated. Very clean with comfy beds. My only negative has more to do with inaccurate booking information by the rental company than the cabin itself. It was advertised as having A/C and I even confirmed via email with the rental company. We get there to discover it does not have A/C. It took the rental company 2 full days of our vacation to remedy the situation by installing a window unit and offering a discount. Other than this mishap, our stay was very nice. It’s a good location between Truckee and Donner Lake.
