The condo is on the 2nd floor of Tahoe Donner Lodge. Guests will receive a secure code for entry to the building and can access the 2nd floor via a shared elevator.

Entering the condo, you’ll find the kitchenette, full bathroom, and living room on the main floor. Lots of natural light flows in through the sliding glass door leading out to the small balcony. The carpet in the living room was just replaced in the spring of 2025 with a new laminate flooring. The kitchenette has a 2-burner electric stove top, refrigerator, microwave, coffee pot, and enough cookware to stay in and prepare meals. Enjoy the Roku TV while relaxing by the small electric fireplace. Please note there is no central heat.

Good enough for 2 nite stay but could be improved

Due to heavy snowfall, it was difficult to locate actual building. Narrow spiral stairway to upper level. Thick sponge mattress on main bed not comfortable for someone with back issues. No oven, borderline inadequate lighting, tricky heating.

Convenient and ship shape

Little open loft one bath kitchenette condo in kid friendly Tahoe Donner, "the place to begin" skiing. Lots southern exposure, glorious sunshine, view to lift. Lodge and Ski lift less than a block away. The drive into Truckee or to other skiing in the area is reasonable. Because there was a guest pass and hot tub mentioned in the TVR info, we were hopeful, but no, apparently. Maybe you can ask TVR?

cozy getaway space

Cute and cozy space, great for what my brother and I needed. Note there is no ac and since heat rises the sleeping loft was very warm. There are fans though, and also I love the spiral staircase! We mostly only slept there and were busy with a nearby family gathering so did not get a chance to utilize the pool but it looks nice - you can see it from the deck there. Tiny yet functional kitchen.. main bed was on the softer side and the lower bunk of the bunk bed seemed more firm .according to my brother.

Spring Break

This condo loft was perfect for our family of four and located within walking distance to the resort. Although you can't cook gourmet meals, the kitchenette was perfect to cook simple meals to get us through the day. This unit can use a new toaster or even a toaster oven since it does not have a regular oven. There are only a few outlets in the kitchen so you have to juggle the location of the appliances to use them. Other than that, it provided all that we need and would rent this condo again.

Stayed here for a 3 day ski at Tahoe Donner

If you are skiing in Tahoe Donner, look no further. This is it. I stayed here in late March 2022 with my spouse and 2 kids for 4 nights. The property is cozy. As this was a ski trip, we ate in and the small kitchen was adequate (microwave, fridge, 2 stove burners, enough plates/utensils, etc.). There is a little deck to store your ski gear if you so please. We put on our ski gears every morning and walked to the office to check in and up to the chair lifts to ski. Great location. We did not go out to eat or hang out, so cannot say what the night life is like. The closest Safeway is 12 minutes away- not bad at all. You do need to take the trash out and undo the used bedsheets, so if you regularly stay at resorts/hotels, it's a hassle. I did not understand the heating system in the unit, but as it was not freezing, I did not reach out to the property owner. We would absolutely stay here again when we ski at Tahoe Donner again!

Cozy and Convenient

The property was perfect, exactly as described. Just steps away from the downhill ski resort. It was so convenient for my little guys who had to be up early for lessons. For me, I was able to ski then go back to the condo to eat lunch, freshen up, and then hit the slopes again within a minute. It was great. The condo was cozy too and the loft was perfect for the three of us, bunk beds and a queen. The spiral staircase is definitely a win for the kids. We would definitely want to stay again. Thank you!
