Beautiful Tahoe-Donner Home with Large Great Room Minutes to Skiing & Winter Fun

"Thank you for the comfortable vacation house. It's spacier than its look on the photos and the location is convenient to the places we wanted to visit. We left around 10:30 am and had a great time. Thank you again for this gorgeous vacation house." - George C., Sunnyvale, CA, 09/19/2011 (VRconnection Guest Feedback)

"Your cabin was perfectly situated to take advantage of all the exciting things Lake Tahoe has to offer. The cabin had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable and memorable (including the stag and bambi who visited the cabin daily in the early morning). I would definitely recommend your cabin to my friends and family!" - Celeste N., Pleasanton, CA, 08/17/2011 (VRconnection Guest Feedback)

"Stayed here for 3 days with 2 young kids (9months and 1yr old) and had a lovely time. It is in a perfect location. Cabin is very clean, comfortable, and great fast service. Downside is the transaction fee for using credit card ($9 for deposit and $15 for remaining balance) Overall, great place and highly recommended." - TigerZ, Hayward, CA, 08/14/2011 (FlipKey Review)

Thank you so much for your kind review -- we strive very hard to make each guests visit an easy and memorable one. As for our credit card transaction fee, we are a small, family operation, offering our personal vacation home for rent for times that we are not using it. We prefer to accept personal checks for stays at our place to keep our operational fees to a minimum, but do understand that some guests would prefer to pay with a credit card. For those guests, we offer that option but ask them to cover the fees assessed by the credit card for that convenience. We always offer the option to pay by with check to avoid any transaction fees and most of our guests choose that option. But we try to be as flexible and accommodating as we can.

"All went well for our 2nd year, we have no suggestions, or criticism. Our family group had a great time." - Clyde E., Carmichael, CA, 01/26/2011 (VRconnection Guest Feedback)

"We had a great time at your place... our stay was very comfortable! Having kids sometimes we forget things... you literrally had everything we could've needed, from the booster seat to the portable crib... to the games and kids dishes! My husband was impressed with your laundry detergent (Gain) and your choice of Herbal Essence hair products." - Tiffany O., San Francisco, CA, 12/06/2009 (VRconnection Guest Feedback)

"Very nice, kid-friendly, and clean cabin. A perfect vacation home. We loved the empty lot next door for snow play with our kids. The great room is awesome with plenty of space for our kids to hang out. The King bed was super comfy, and the fully equipped kitchen made cooking a breeze. Thanks for sharing your cabin with us...we hope to be back soon!" - Lori L., Union City, CA, 11/22/2009 (VRconnection Guest Feedback)

"We had a great time at this comfortable vacation home. The 'great room' was really nice and we loved the fabulous stereo system. We had a good time on the grill and the kitchen was well equipped for our needs. Beds were really comfortable and the linens were very clean. We would surely recommend this place to our friends!" - Sankeerth A., Santa Clara, CA, 07/05/2009 (VRconnection Guest Feedback)

"Just spent a wonderful weekend at the house with another family. The great room has big windows with a beautiful view for watching the snow fall all around. We have small children, so the huge empty lot next door was very convenient for snow play. Indoors, there was plenty of room for the kids to play games, build a pillow fort and dance around. They had a blast, indoors and out! " - Linda G., Redwood City, CA, 03/02/2009 (VRconnection Guest Feedback)

"This home suited our needs perfectly! We found this home extremely clean, nicely furnished and the beds very comfortable. We had three days of snowboarding between Northstar and Sugarbowl and were happy to come home to a wonderful, cozy cabin.

"We had a wonderful stay and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Next to the time with family at my nieces wedding seemed almost anticlimactic. We'll have to do this again when there's snow." - Jim P., Waterloo, SC, 10/14/2008 (VRconnection Guest Feedback)

"Beautiful cabin ... loved the peace and quite. Enjoyed all the deer & even saw a bobcat cross the front of the property. Wow! We both had a great time." - Jack B., Peoria, AZ, 08/31/2008 (VRconnection Guest Feedback)

"We enjoyed our stay. Everybody liked your cabin and amenities. The barbeque was great and an improvement over the electric one you had previously. Don't be surprised if we use your place again in the future. Warren." - Warren H., Lincoln, CA, 08/08/2008 (VRconnection Guest Feedback)

"Fantastic vacation for our family. 4 days, 3 kids, 2 tired parents hiking, mountain biking, rafting, water slides, horses, meals on the lake, Squaw gondola, BBQ, wine, kayaking.... A film crew should have followed us to make a commercial for Tahoe Donner! Thanks!" - Tami G., Greenbrae, CA, 08/06/2008 (VRconnection Guest Feedback)

"We had a fantastic time in your beautiful cabin. Our two boys, ages 5 and 18 months, enjoyed running around the spacious living area. My wife and I would spend the evenings after the boys were asleep on the balcony drinking wine, watching the stars for hours. We look forward to returning in the future." - Michael F., San Mateo, CA, 08/02/2008 (VRconnection Guest Feedback)

"Hi Drew and family, We really enjoyed your place and our time in Tahoe Donner. Aside from the thick smoke on Sunday when were we scheduled to leave anyway, everything was terrific. No question, we will return! Our friends were staying nearby and came over for dinner one night. We all decided that we needed to book your spot again next year. It is so very peaceful and well located. We explored the nearby area on our bikes and runs. We used the Trout Creek Rec center every day - which turned out to be pricey (for 3 of us), but so convenient! We loved that the place was so baby/kid friendly - we have one recommendation (and if we had our wits about us we would have just got them ourselves for you....) - more outlet covers! Also, you guys were so easy to interact with and your directions were very helpful and detailed. We just had trouble figuring out the internet - we saw the router and assumed wireless. Once we figured out we needed to plug in, no problem! Thanks again for sharing your home with us! Best, Kim, Dan, Cody and Isabel " - Kimberly K., San Francisco, CA, 07/27/2008 (VRconnection Guest Feedback)

"Wow :) What a beautiful place to vacation. The house and accommodations were first class. We had everything we needed for ourselves and our 3 kids (3, 7, 9). We look forward to returning and watching stars of the deck (and deer too!) Thanks again :)" - Todd M., Orange, CA, 06/29/2008 (VRconnection Guest Feedback)

"We had a dream weekend at this gorgeous, new, clean, comfortable cabin. The cabin is child-friendly and even had a basket of toys for kids, booster seat/high chair, foldable crib, and great children's VHS movies. My 4 year-old learned to ski at Tahoe-Donner downhill ski area just minutes away. They offer private lessons at the best price I've found, and the ski area is perfect for people just learning to ski. The recreation center has a huge hot tub just for families (i.e., kids) and heated swimming pool that's open during the winter. There's also 2 adult hot tubs and an adult swimming lane. For exercise buffs, there's a great work-out area. The cabin is next door to a big lot that is a fun place for snow play. The location of the cabin is ideally located close to big ski resorts. Our 2nd day, we went to Northstar, and it was a fast drive with no traffic. " - Susan K., Palo Alto, CA, 03/24/2008 (VRconnection Guest Feedback)

"Perfect vacation home for the family. Great home, great location! My 4 year old son still asks me to take him back to "Snow HOME". We had a GALA time! " - Prathibhanu K., San Jose, CA, 03/09/2008 (VRconnection Guest Feedback)

"We came here for a few days of play in the snow with our 2 daughters - 16 months & 5 years old. We had a fabulous time. The kitchen was well stocked with more appliances than I thought you would have. It's a perfectly kid-friendly cabin. The weather was sunny & warm, so it was a great vacation. Thank you. " - Jesse L., Brentwood, CA, 03/07/2008 (VRconnection Guest Feedback)

"Thanks for a wonderful stay at your home in Tahoe Donner. It was a perfect weekend and a perfect launching point for all sorts of fun activities. The empty lot next door was great for playing with the saucers you had and the Snow Park at the Trout Rec area was perfect for our three-year-old to get some real thrills on Saturday when it opened. Thanks for sharing your home." - Amy G., Belmont, CA, 03/01/2008 (VRconnection Guest Feedback)

"Had lots of fun in the snow :) Nice home & great location. Great place for our 3 1/2 year old girls :) Had a great time! Thanks!! Lots of snow!!" - Scott H., San Jose, CA, 02/28/2008 (VRconnection Guest Feedback)

"We had an absolutely fantastic time. You have a beautiful home with great views. We had two great days at Sugar Bowl. This is the 4th year in a row that my friends and I have done this weekend ski trip and this was definitely the best house. (We've stayed at other Tahoe Donner homes twice before). Only 3 out of the 5 of us made it this yr so we each got a bedroom - nice to be able to spread out. We would love to stay next year - I'll keep your email/website." - Brian S., Walnut Creek ,CA, 02/24/2008 (VRconnection Guest Feedback)

We loved your cabin and appreciated all the niceties! Very kid friendly and nice - easy to use kitchen! We'd love to come back and will recommend it to friends. Thanks!!

"We had such a fabulous time at your house. It was perfect for a family with small kids who were not intending to go skiing. It was the perfect size and was stocked with everything we needed and more. The views were stunning and the snow was piled high all around the house and on the balconies. We can't wait to come back in April." - Elaine B., Mill Valley, CA, 02/25/2007 (VRconnection Guest Feedback)

"We had an excellent time during our stay at this rental. It was close to lots of recreation which was key for us. The kids went on hikes, bike rides, lots of swimming at both pools and the beach too. We enjoyed hanging out at the cabin, it was clean, stocked with all the kitchen stuff you need and was really comfortable. We will definately rent this place again!.....thanks for awsome lodging!" - Rich M., El Dorado Hills, CA, 07/09/2006 (VRconnection Guest Feedback)

"We did enjoy the stay at your beautiful home in Truckee. My parents in law especially enjoyed the trip as they feel very much at home while staying in your well-equipped vacation home instead of hotel rooms. My husband was very impressed with the shades in the master bathroom which goes both ways. I enjoyed fixing up simple meals in the open kitchen. And the two sets of DVD players provide enough evening entertainment for everybody. Thank you for providing a wonderful environment for a relaxing vacation. We will definitely consider staying here again when we make trips to Tahoe. " - Christine C., El Cerrito, CA, 06/09/2006 (VRconnection Guest Feedback)

"Very nice place, lovely location, clean and comfortable. Thanks for the rental!" - Jeff G., Menlo Park, CA, 05/29/2006 (VRconnection Guest Feedback)

"Our family had a great time at your home. The kitchen was so well stocked its as if we were in our own home. Rooms were spacious. Views fantastic. An on premises washer and dryer makes it easier for visitors to bring less clothing and come home with clean clothes. The open property next door allowed us to build a 200 foot sled run that perhaps others can still enjoy. We were extremely fortunate to get overnight and early morning snow for most of our stay this late in the season. Also understand this past weekend brought more snow after our departure. All in all, a great time was had by all. Obviously you take pride in your residence and we are impressed by your prompt attention to your renters.

"We had a wonderful time at your Tahoe-Donner home. It was a perfect size and location for our family. We made a sled-run on the side of the house and spent many days playing in the snow. The interior of the house was warm and comfortable, not to mention the high speed internet service. We would love to come back next year! Thank you so much." - Brenda N., San Rafael, CA, 02/03/2006 (VRconnection Guest Feedback)

"The house worked perfect for our trip. I forwarded the LINK to a couple friends too. You have very nice house and the Rec Center passes worked well for the swim and spa. See you next trip!" - Craig P., Oakland, CA, 01/26/2006 (VRconnection Guest Feedback)

"This is a relatively new property in excellent condition. Most properties in this area (Tahoe Donner) are new, unlike those along the Donner lake which are old and dilapidated. We spent almost a week there and the combination of the home layout, comfy furniture, all the modern amenities, high speed Internet and spacious and well appointed kitchen kept everyone happy. Sugar Bowl is about 20 minutes away. Downtown Truckee is about 5 minutes. The Thai restaurant and Zanos Italian restaurant in Truckee are very good. The owners are courteous and responsive to guest needs. We plan to call this our home-away-from-home when skiing. Highly recommended!!" - Chetan P., Foster City, CA, 12/23/2005 (VRconnection Guest Feedback)

"I was speechless when first pulled up to the cabin and saw how nice it looked and the inside was just as new and nice as the outside was. One of the finest cabin I have ever rented in Truckee, Tahoe area. Very cozy and spacious with lots of room to enjoy and entertain friends and family. Will difenitely recommend to others. Renter made transaction very smooth and easy. Lots of bonus in area with large vacant lot for kids and adults to have fun at next to cabin. Thanks for sharing your wonderful cabin with us.
