Wonderful Host!
Sadly we were not able to stay at the house because the road conditions to Tahoe-Donner were unpredictable and dangerous. We were thinking of cancelling but were hesitant to lose the money for the house (too late for a refund). Unprompted, the owner reached out to me and offered to cancel for a full refund. This speaks volumes to the character and thoughtfulness of the owner, and I assume the house reflects this care and kindness. I’m hoping to book here in the future under better conditions!

A Great Place
We spent the week of President's Day in this house and thoroughly loved it. The house is clean and cozy. Having access to the garage was fantastic on the cold mornings. We skied Northstar which was ~20 minutes but one day drove past Squaw in almost the same time. Any part of Truckee was ~10 minutes away. I didn't have much need to contact Maria but she was very prompt in replying and the house was very organized. I'd definitely return in the winter or summer as Tahoe Donner is really beautiful. We had a really great meal at the Lodge. The whole week was as good as I could've hoped.

Great place for a week of snow fun
The house was exactly as advertised - everything worked well, it was both roomy and cozy at the same time. It was perfect for our family of 4, the kids had tons of fun in the snow both in front of the house as well as behind it on the little sledding hill. It's located just 6 minutes away from the Tahoe Donner skiing area. We would definitely stay here again!

Clean, bright home with comfortable beds
Very satisfied with our stay and will rent again from the owners. Perfect for our family of 5. It was cleaner and nicer than it looked in photos, and we enjoyed the beautiful tree outlook into the backyard.

Hello Summer
We love visiting Tahoe in the early summer. The air is fresh, the sky is blue, and the weather is perfect. We did a ton of hiking, some mountain biking, and took kayaks out on Donner Lake. We love staying at this house. I think it is our 4th or 5th time. Everything is very convenient. The trail head is at the end of the block, and the Guest Passes get you access to all the rec areas for a small per diem fee. Everything is clean. The owners are great. We grilled on the rear deck and enjoyed the silence and stars. Definitely recommend it.

Terrific Ski Weekend
The cabin was convenient and comfortable. Plenty of room for us and the two kids. The location is scenic and on a quiet street. There was a huge amount of snow this season. We enjoyed the TD downhill ski area which is less than a 5 minute drive. We tried snowshoes one day too. The pools are nice at the Trout Creek rec center. Would definitely rent this cabin again.

Great place for family ski fun
We stayed for 5 days over the kids' ski week off from school. The cabin was perfect. Everything is in great like-new condition. There was a lot of snow, but the plowing service came every day. We never had to shovel to get out. The owner provides lots of nice things in the house like sugar packets, coffee filters, ziplock bags, napkins and paper towels. The Tahoe Donner ski hill was really close...about a 5-minute drive. We drove to Sugar Bowl one day too. That was about 20 minutes away. My youngest enjoyed the sledding at the snow play area.

Clean, Cozy & Perfect
Spent a few days with my wife & 4-year old son here in early February. There have been historic amounts of snow this winter in the Tahoe area, we live in San Diego, so getting away to play in the snow is a real treat for us. While we didnt get to use the sled hill in the backyard due to the sheer amount of snow, this was our homebase while we ventured out to local parks/hills to get some sledding in. We had such a blast, and this house has everything you would ever need. It was immaculate, comfy beds, plenty of pillows and sheets. We cooked dinner each night, loved the open feel, we could keep watch on our little one. Maria was incredibly helpful the entire time, so happy we found this place, we will happily be going back again next winter.

Amazingly clean, well-run property
We stayed here with my 3 and 6 year old girls and some other family members a few weeks ago so that we could ski at Tahoe Donner and Squaw Valley. The location was perfect for hitting the northern Tahoe ski slopes. The house itself was updated, extremely clean and well-maintained. When we first arrived at almost 1am due to snowy conditions, we were happy to see that the house was lit and warm and extremely inviting for us weary travelers! The furniture was updated and the decor was nice and minimal enough so that the space was roomy and uncluttered. They had a huge comfortable sectional couch with flannel blankets, which was a nice touch. The backyard is located next to a peaceful and serene wooded path with huge pine trees and when we arrived there was beautiful, freshly-fallen snow. Our girls had a magical time playing in the snow around the house. While we were there, we hardly saw any of the neighbors. There were clear directions for taking care of the house and also plenty of information for anything you need around the area. The owners were great and also very responsive. They emailed me immediately when I asked about the ski slopes and what lessons were good for beginner kids. We were extremely happy with our stay and would be happy to stay here again in the future!!

Great Family Ski HQ
Our family had a comfortable and fun stay at this place in Tahoe Donner. The house is easy to access, clean, and well maintained. The big central living room and kitchen were a natural gathering place for family. Appliances are in great shape. The bedrooms were comfortable and well appointed. The street and driveway were plowed every morning. Garage parking was a plus (no scraping windows in the morning and no need to take equipment off the car). We'll definitely stay here again.

Terrific Home and Fun Labor Day Weekend
House was as described/pictured. The home/neighborhood is very quiet and what a beautiful, picturesque setting. If you walk around the block (on Skislope), you will get good exercise and amazing views of the mountains and valley. The beds were comfortable. Nice linens, bath towels and beach/pool towels provided. Small kitchen, but fine for our family of four. Owners provide lots of pantry items like foil wrap, plastic baggies, spices, condiments, coffee filters & sugar. Plus there were all the pots, pans and utensils you could need. Great having the option of spending time at one of the private pools or going to the private beach at Donner Lake.

Perfect for Our Family of Five
We had a great time in this home over the Fourth of July week. The home was well-maintained and very clean. Quiet, peaceful location, but just a short drive to all Tahoe Donner amenities. Appreciated that there is a hiking trailhead at the end of the block so we didn't have to worry about driving and parking.

Wonderful
Our family of four had a great experience. The home was super-clean, the furnishings new, and the kitchen had everything we needed -- thanks for including things like coffee filters, spices, and tea! The house isn't large, but there is plenty of room for one family. We may bring my parents with us next time as there are beds for six and two bathrooms.

Unforgettable Family Vacation!
We loved our stay at this immaculate, comfortable family retreat. This house is the perfect location, with easy access to the slopes. In addition to being bright, spacious and clean this house has a FLAT DRIVEWAY which is hard to come by with properites in this area and can make all the difference in snowy weather. The location is perfect with great access to Tahoe Donnor skiing. We will be back next year!

Excellent... Great stay and fantastic house
Our family truly enjoyed our time at this house. The owners were very helpful in all aspects. The house is well maintained. My wife is a bit of a "neat freak", and she could not believe how immaculate this house was maintained. We enjoyed the easy access to hiking and skiing. The house’s flat driveway was a big plus during the winter!!!! This house is ideal for a small family. I highly recommend this house.

Our Favorite Summer Vacation
This is the third home we have rented in the Tahoe area and it is BY FAR the best. This house has everything......privacy, a "loaded" kitchen, lots of space and clean, clean, clean! Our 7 year old has allergies to dust and mold and this is the only place we have stayed where he was not sneezing all night. The Tahoe Donner amenities are beyond compare.....with the kids we hiked amazing trails, tried paddleboarding and archery and rode horses for the first time. The kids had a blast at the pools, which were clean and suprisingly uncrowded. My wife and I played two rounds on the Tahoe Donner course, which is pretty challenging. We liked it so much we booked a Winter stay at this property.

About the host

Hosted by Maria

Host profile image
We are a family of four from the Bay Area who loves to escape to the mountains. In the winter, we ski and snowboard. In the summer, we enjoy hiking, swimming, golfing, and tennis. Mostly, we enjoy just being away from the stress of school, work, and routines. Tahoe Donner is like another world! We hope you will feel the same.

Why they chose this property

After renting in different parts of the Tahoe area, we found Tahoe Donner. It is the best-located resort community in the area. In the winter, you have access to all the major ski resorts, and you are not at the mercy of the unpredictable road conditions of Highways 89 and 267. In the summer, Tahoe Donner offers wonderful activities for the kids, relaxation for mom and dad, and tons of fun things to do together as a family.

What makes this property unique

Our home is simple, warm, and the perfect-size for a small family.
