THINGS TO CONSIDER BEFORE BOOKING.
• Accessibility: Condo is on second floor of a lodge (elevator accessible) Metal spiral staircase within condo accesses sleeping upstairs (see pictures) Guest should be comfortable climbing up and down spiral stairs. We have a baby gate for safety and children should be monitored going up and down but its very sturdy and our children did fine from a small age. • Parking is uncovered in a convenient paved lot in front of building. Permit required. One permit available for single car. • Kitchen is intended for simple meals with a table and seating for 4, but not convenient for large family meals as there is NO DISHWASHER OR FULL SIZE OVEN. • Tahoe Donner Lodge sits at elevation and is hilly. 4WD recommended or chains at minimum in the winter. Suggest small shovel for accessing car in big storms. Lodge has regular snow removal and parking lots do get plowed consistently but can be delayed in large storms. • There is no traditional air conditioning in this unit. We have small portable AC that cools the condo to a degree and fans. Ask for more details if this is a late summer rental. It can get HOT and should be considered. • All amenities except the downhill ski area are not within walking distance and will require a vehicle to drive there. • Unit has shared wifi with the lodge and can slow down at peak times. Not probably the best unit to rent if you need reliable work-from-home communication at all times. There is no tub or fireplace.

This was THE most convenient possible way to do Tahoe Donner. The condo was perfect for our family of 4 and gave us the flexibility we needed to juggle getting on the slopes and getting some remote work taken care of. You can see Eagle Rock from the balcony.Will definitely keep this on our short list!

Jennifer’s place was great. It was well appointed and the location couldn’t be better. You can literally wake up and walk to the ski lift. We will definitely return!
