Family Trip to the Snow!

A very nice house with lots of space for our whole family. Kitchen is stocked with a lot of large pots and pans, plenty of cups, plates & utensils and a very large dining table. The adults and kids had a lot of fun at the house - ping pong, darts, games and lots of snow for sledding. It was so convenient for the kids to walk out the door and go sledding! It is very close to Donner Lake and we tried some fishing but had no luck. It's also close to Boreal and we made use of the $25 lift ticket day! We'd love to come back when the snow melts and use the fire pit and hopefully have better luck fishing!

Wonderful House!

This house was beautiful! It was clean and very comfortable for our long weekend of skiing and sledding. Everything we needed was on hand. The owners appear to love their house and share it generously.

Curtis Home

Donner lake was a midpoint for family members coming from California, Paris, and Utah. We had another house rented for the younger portions of our family, which was just down Judah. We could visit each other, play, hot tub, and chat. We found everything we needed. We even saw a bear above the house scratching around. Perfect place, love the fireplace, pool table, and three places to gather and catch up. Thank you so much for your help getting in.

My 2 sons and their families joined for a very brief 2 night getaway.

The house had plenty of space for 8 of us and there could have been easily 4 more. Having 3 bathrooms was a huge plus for us and the pool/ping pong table was great fun for the kids. The kitchen was well stocked and the fire pit was a big plus. It is an older property and has some maintenance issues that need to be addressed. The property manager was responsive and our getaway was very pleasant !!!

What a great place to stay!!!

Lots of room, large dining table for family meals all together. 5 bedrooms was perfect for all adults and the kids. 12,10 and 4 played hours of pool and ping pong . We had lots of rain so the fireplace was a godsend. Donner lake is gorgeous and less crowded then Tahoe. We all had a great time. Sitting on the outdoor deck watching thunderstorms was excellent.

Great ski weekend

Had a great stay at this house. Host communication was outstanding. Great location near several ski resorts, and convenient to Truckee, i80, and Donner Lake. The house itself is great. Clean, spacious, well laid out. Great, well stocked kitchen! We had four adults and 5 kids and had plenty of space. Could have fit more.

Favorite spot

We come back and stay at least twice a year, and we love it! Perfect yard to sled in and play in the snow without having to worry about your kids being too close to a street. With 5 bedrooms and a loft there’s plenty of room for everyone! Kitchen is well stocked and set up well for cooking/serving everyone in your party. Owner is responsive and easy to deal with. We’ll be back!

Nice space

The house had plenty of room for our group of 8 adults and two kids. We went during a winter storm with lots of fresh snow. Curtis was very responsive to our messages and patient with our worries about the weather. The kids had a ton of fun in the powder. We lost power almost every night but it was back up pretty quick.
