Thank you for the lovely stay in Tahoe-Donner. The comfortable home was clean and had everything we needed. The back deck is huge and made for relaxing. The neighborhood is quiet and near to great hiking trails (early June is a great time to see wildflowers) and other activities. We would not hesitate to come back.

Icing on the cake
This was our annual trip to Tahoe and our first stay at the property and we had an absolute fantastic time. The property management group were a breeze to work with and the property itself was excellent. We had a great stay and will be looking to return in future visits.

This house is a great find in Tahoe Donner. The layout is great for two families or one big family. Plenty of sleeping space for kids and a nice open kitchen and living room for hanging out. The house is fully equipped and clean. We would definitely rent this house again.
