Super convienent

Our stay in the condo was great! It is centrally located to all the activities we did -- an easy bike ride to Donner Lake, hiking, river time, groceries, and more. It had all the kitchen supplies we needed. The only negatives ... close to 80 so you could hear freeway noise during the night with the windows open and cleaning in the hidden corners (under the beds, between the couch cushions, and the grill) needed to be done. When we made them aware of the grill, they were on it! We loved the responsiveness.

Above Average

The unit was very nice, was clean, is a good but not great location and we would go there again. Having just a single key was odd, and problematic when we had different people going different directions on different schedules. The grill on the patio is small & filthy. (I considered just doing a clean burn since we had intended to grill, but the grill was so dirty that I chose to change plans on that front.) Being walking distance to SaveMart, CVS, Starbucks, etc was very nice. The neighborhood is not, however, conducive to long walks.

Nice place but wi-fi doesn't support working or remote school

We enjoyed our stay and the condo is generally in great shape. However, in these times we had hoped to connect to work and school websites in order to get some work done in between fun activities. The Internet connection was so slow we could not work at all. We were told to restart the modem but that did not help. We would go back again but only if we didn't need high speed internet access.

What does this mean?

The condo had everything in the kitchen one could ask for including condiments, aluminum foil, dishes for baking, etc. The location was perfect. The condo was well appointed with nice furniture and a comfortable bed. When we asked for a new remote for the TV the management company went out of its way to have one delivered. We would definitely stay here again.

A Hidden Gem

Modern property with quaint decor and great location. The place was super quiet and relaxing. That is probably because it is summer up there and a little less busy than in Winter. Loved the deep garage! We could park the car with the bikes and bike rack extended. That was a great time saver for us. Close to Truckee and access to the freeway. We will definitely stay up here again!

Homely and warm cabin like condo with all comfortable.

Our family enjoyed staying at the condo. It has all modern day comforts including television, heat and hot water. The condo was clean and well maintained with plenty of blankets and fully stocked kitchen. The decor in the condo is very cabin like, so it felt like home away from home. It is also close to the highway, so it was very easy to get to ski resorts.
