A perfect Donner ski house, esp for families with kids

A very clean, warm, and convenient house. The main suite with a king sized bed is particularly wonderful. Walking distance to Donner cross country, and a very short drive to downhill skiing. Large driveway and back of the house are perfect for snow play. Would love to come back next season for a longer stay. The garage is pretty small, a 4Runner did not fit, but plenty of parking upfront.

comfortable and clean

We stayed here with another family (total of 4 adults and 3 kids) over President's Day weekend. The house was very clean and comfortable, everything worked and the location is very convenient to the ski slope. The kids really enjoyed the open space/backyard area and all of the snow toys provided in the garage. Our only suggestion for improvements is that the house needs to be restocked with some basics, like cooking oil, coffee, salt & pepper, and food leftover storage supplies like tupperware and plastic wrap or foil. Oddly, there were tons of travel size conditioners provided but no shampoo. Overall, the house was very comfortable and well stocked other than the above items.

Good for a group

A group of friends from college got together for the weekend. The house was as pictured. It was nice that there is enough sitting space and a big enough table for us all to be together. Since we were 3 couples, it was nice to have 3 queen/king beds. One couple used the spa/hot tub - note that there is an extra fee to do that, even with the guest passes provided. The driveway is large and the house was well stocked with snow play equipment. The kitchen worked well for cooking for our group. We would stay here again.

Good location and house, with a few gripes

When we got into the house, there was no hand soap or dish soap at the kitchen sink. The built-in soap pump at the sink didn't work, and we found that it had a long tube that went into an empty bottle under the sink. We ended up finding a stash of little dish soaps. The biggest gripe I have is that they left us a used, dirty, dish sponge. I've never been in a VRBO where a new, wrapped, dish sponge wasn't waiting at the ready. That $0.50 would have gone a long way with me. My general feeling was that the house was masquerading as a motel. The little bottles of shampoo and conditioner gave it an awkward vibe, and it lacked personality or a special touch.

A great house to stay in!

Our family of four had a great time in this house over the long Presidents’ Day weekend. The rental process was easy, and the house is as advertised with all of the essentials for a great stay. We would definitely consider staying again when we come back to the area. Thank you!

Relaxation Level 10

We loved staying here. Everything was there that we needed. The nest thermostat kept us nice and warm. The beds were comfy and the towels fluffy. The house is close enough to Donner Ski area to come home for lunch. Thanks for sharing this beautiful home with us.

Enjoyed our stay at this very clean property.

Very clean and cozy cabin. Our family of five had a very relaxing long weekend at this property. This house was the perfect size for us. Adequately stocked kitchen, cozy furniture, and comfortable beds. Safe for our 3 kids (including our 4-year-old). Only issue was some errors in the listing. Listing provided misinformation about the type of fireplace (gas vs woodburning) and the existence of cable TV (listing said it had cable, but it did not). Not a dealbreaker, as I didn't choose this house based upon whether or not we can watch TV or the type of fireplace, but it should be accurate. Questions about the listings were addressed immediately by the property management company - again, not really much that could be done. We overall enjoyed our stay here!
