Winter Wonderland ❄️
This home was perfect for our family of 5! So spacious yet very cozy. We took our chances and traveled here during the storm ~ the driveway and streets leading to this home were plowed regularly. The hot tub was so relaxing after a day on the slopes! Great proximity to Tahoe Donner and Sugarbowl. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need. We plan on staying here again this summer.

Awesome home in Tahoe Donner with access to HOA amenities
We took a family vacation for six days to the Norsehall house in Tahoe Donner in July. It was a wonderful getaway; peaceful quiet woods, lush greenery, ample space for the whole family and a hot tub to take a relaxing soak. The house is located up the Northwoods hill, so bike riding isn’t ideal for small children. We enjoyed easy access to the HOA pool for $17 per person, we made a stop at the nearby Z Market for a forgotten item, and we ventured out to Donner Lake, Truckee River, Martis Creek and downtown for some daily adventures. There were some pesky mosquitos outdoors, but we anticipated that and were prepared with some bug repellent for our legs and arms. It was hot the week we visited, the house does not have A/C, but the woods cool off enough at night if you open up the windows to let the air flow. The house supplies an abundance of ceiling, standing and window fans that work perfectly. There is a ping pong table in the garage that our kids very much enjoyed. Thanks for a great stay!

Great family location
Great location near downtown Truckee and Donner Lake. The house has everything you need and the exposed beams are a nice architectural feature. We had excellent communication with the property manager which made for a easy trip.

Terrific property with lots of charm
This is a wonderful rental for the neighborhood. We chose it because it had all the amenities that we want in a mountain stay (specifically a hot tub and a wood fire place). It was w great house and easy for our two families to share. The property management company was excellent and called to welcome us and were available the whole time for a couple of questions. The kitchen is really well appointed and lots of games and puzzles for entertainment. The back yard ended up being an excellent bonus for the kids to play in and burned so much energy when not on the slopes. And, the two car garage was also a bonus so no one was stuck de-icing their car. We would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful Escape
Being able to take my family away from San Francisco after the SIP order was wonderful, staying in such a charming and beautiful place made it amazing. The house itself is deceptively spacious as we were able to spread out and not be on top of one another. The grass in the yard was loved by my two kids while the hot tub and outdoor fireplace was enjoyed by my wife and I. The kitchen is also amazing and has every tool that you will need. Was very happy to find a KitchenAid mixer as I was baking a cake for me wife's birthday and it saved my wrist from a lot of manual whisking.
The Tahoe Donner area is fantastic, only wish we were able to enjoy the HOA facilities a bit more but since the Tahoe area just lifted the SIP order the day before we arrived I think things still hadn't opened completely.
