House worked great! Plenty of room for three family members with one family having a 18 month and 2 year old. Not far from Truckee and lakes and trails. We hope to be back next year.

Fun 4th of July
We really enjoyed this house. It was exactly the right size for us. We loved that it felt a little more remote than the other houses that we have stayed at in Tahoe Donner. The house had amazing views of the mountains from the back deck. My only complaint that I have is the house got a little hot during the day. Although, I can't fault the owners, we were in Truckee during an usually hot period. The owners did have fans in all the rooms, so that helped with the heat. The house was very comforable and had all things we needed. Thank you! We will use this house again.

Sweet location
The home is beautiful and so spacious - very kid friendly! The backyard has a nice and open space for the kids to sled. The only hiccup we had was the oven, it didn’t heat above 180 degrees so it was hard to cook out planned dinner. Otherwise, great location.

Great home, well equipped, can get tons of snow
This is a fantastic place. We went during a historic snow storm. We noticed this location gets the most snow in the Truckee area and the least frequent snow plowing because the street is at the end-of-the-line. We shoveled 10 inches of snow 4 times over 2 days just to get in/out of the driveway. The novelty wore off quickly but we still had a great time and I would definitely rent the place again.

Beautiful clean house with an amazing view!
Beautiful & clean Home. Amazing views. Loved the trail system nearby for trail running & mountain biking. House had a fair amount of dog hair on furniture & carpets for a “no pet” home. Manager offered to send cleaning crew but we didn’t bother. Would be an issue for those with allergies tho. Would definitely come back to this beautiful home.

Awesome Vacation Home
This is a house we will definitely be returning to in the near future. The week that we stayed, the air quality was actually pretty bad due to the wildfires. We were limited to how much we could go outside so we all appreciated the fact that the house was spacious, clean and comfortable. The neighborhood is quiet and close to downtown Truckee (great shopping and restaurants)! Everyone enjoyed our week-long visit and we are already looking at the calendar as to when we can return!

End of summer vacation
Great house, perfect for 6 adults, we could have accommodated more in the bunk room but younger children would work best there. Lots of open space, room for all to eat plays games etc. Best equipped kitchen I ever experienced, they had everything. Great view, when the smoke cleared out. It is a little bit out of the way if your planning to go to Lake Tahoe for things, but manageable. It would be a perfect location if it was ski season!!

Nice house but need little upgrades
The house is clean, spacious and light with nice views. We loved the neighborhood. It would’ve been nicer if there were more modern big TVs and more loungy living room with a bigger couch that fit more people comfortably. Also all the beds were a bit too small. The kitchen is pretty well equipped but pot and pens could’ve been in a better shape (like a new set from Costco). The refrigerator door needs to be adjusted as it wouldn’t easily. Overall we had a good stay and enjoyed the house.
