Amazing view. Wonderful property. Perfect distance to the ski resorts and downtown Donner. We didn’t realize that we had to pick up the keys at the office (it was in the contract but we missed it) but they were amazing at communication and everything got sorted out quickly. Place felt right. Thank you for hosting us. Hopefully we’ll get to stay again.

We loved the house, hands-down our best experience living in the mountains. Snow in the backyard, facing Donner lake, easy beach access 3 minute drive from our home, 15 minutes from Truckee with snow activities, what's not to like about it. Easily the best accessible spot to rent a home. We were blessed with great weather, and clear skies with stars and a beautiful moon to gaze at in the wee hours of the morning.The house is stocked with everything you might need, and we loved it was so cozy. We'll come back for sure.

The house had so much room for us. The beds were very comfy. The open living room and kitchen space is very stylish. Stunning lake view. Can’t wait to visit again soon!

Overall, the property location is excellent! It has a beautiful lake view. However, the property can use a bit more cleaning. We have found dirty socks in the sofa and next to washer. The worst was that internet and TV services were out during our 5 days stay. The owner and property management team tried 3 times and still were not able to fix the issue. We couldn't work and kids did not have much entertainment during the stay.
