This house was clean, comfortable and extremely dog friendly. Great location and very well maintained. The only drawback was that it is on a busier road so we couldn't let the dogs off leash. It was a small thing and I would definitely stay here again.

Peaceful relaxation haven

This was the perfect place for 6 of us friends and two small dogs. The house is exactly as described. We especially enjoyed the gas fire pit in the back, the hot tub, and the gas grill. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to cook with, and Safeway is just 10 min away. They allowed us to check-in an hour early and check-out an hour later when asked. I really appreciate the property management being responsive and quick whenever I had a question. And If you have a dog, this place is great!

We enjoyed our stay here. It was nice to be able to park the car in the garage and easy entry with key pad. There are steep stairs that goes up from garage/front door to the rest of the house. We really appreciated the baby gate blocking the stairs. The beds were comfortable and it was great that none of the bedrooms shared a wall. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed including high chair and pack n play. The place us dog friendly and our dog had a great time. Highly recommend.

Terrific property, outstanding property management

The property was immaculate and exactly as described. Comfortable and cozy with great amenities. I really appreciate the owners for all the space we had as guests (2 cars in the garage, plenty of cupboard space for our food, full closet space in every bedroom). The back yard is a big plus with the small dog run, fire pit, hot tub, grill, picnic table and cornhole. The area was very quiet at night, but unfortunately street noise from Alder Creek where I think most people are way over the 25 mph speed limit. Property management was outstanding! I really appreciated the welcome tote bag and coffee, and their web page for the house had everything I needed and make check in and check out smooth and easy. Thank you!!

Fabulous stay in Tahoe Donner!

We had a wonderful time at this terrific house. The home was lovely - very comfortable, clean, modern, and well-stocked. Kitchen had all the accessories we needed and more. It was even better in person than the photos. We especially enjoyed the back deck area with a hot tub, lounge chairs, and outdoor dining table.
