Property was great, Vacasa was not

The property was very nice. The house was very nice. However, when we arrived, there was a full load of wet linens in the dryer and a full load of wet towels, that we needed, in the washer. There was also leftover food on the broiler pan above the double oven in the cupboard. After traveling all day from Florida to California, we had to clean all of those items. We let Vacasa, the property management company know about this the day we arrived and took pictures for them. They told us they were sorry and would get back to us, but never did. They charged us a full cleaning fee and when I asked VRBO to help with this situation, they were no help either. We’ve never had this happen before with VRBO. This situation will make us think twice before booking with the combination of Vacasa and VRBO in the future.

Great place to stay

My family and I had a good time at this place, it was clean and organized all information needed was always sent in advance, a better tv connection/ variety wouldn’t be a bad idea, But not a deal killer, we would stay there again!!

Nice updated & comfortable cabin

Love the updated kitchen & baths. Kitchen was well stocked. 5 bedrooms was perfect for our group of 8 adults and 2 children. Wood burning stove is a really nice feature as well as a washer & dryer.

Beautiful home in a great location. Had everything we needed.

All rooms were excellent. We had very cold week with outside in the low 20s. House was a little colder than we wanted. Had a "GFI fault" msg in the main bedroom bathroom. Called the manager and they said they were aware of it and told us how to reset it. We did so but it tripped again in a few hours. This was troubling because we didn't know what caused it.

Well furnished house made for a relaxing stay

This house is really lovely inside and very well furnished, especially the kitchen. The spacious layout and comfortable furniture made it a pleasure to hang out with family before and after our outdoor activities. After staying in a really crappy rental in Tahoe Donner just a month before, it was such a relief to be in a house where everything worked and everything you could need for a comfortable stay was provided. Our 6-year-old enjoyed the kids' toys, books and games and ping-pong table in the garage. The adults enjoyed the very modern kitchen, spacious bedrooms and peaceful deck for outdoor dinners. We would have appreciated a slightly later checkout so our kid could finish her online distance learning for the day, but at least the wifi worked well.

Nice house

Overall, this was a nice home to stay at. The house is beautiful, the kitchen is mostly stocked (bring a sponge for dishes, only a scrubber was included), there were enough toiletries. Cons: kitchen cabinet doors and handles were sticky, oil was splattered on the shelves aboved the stovetop, there was a bowl on one of the top shelves filled with oil or fat or something, the sheets/bedding had stains on them (thankfully we brought our own blankets). The trundle bed was super uncomfortable, we could feel the springs in it, which also sucked but we did bring a blow up mattress with us as a back up. Overall, if these couple things were fixed, we might consider staying here again, but have been to much nicer cabins in the area over the last few years.

Nice decent place to get away :)

I stayed for two nights with a group of 7 friends. The Master bedroom downstairs was peaceful and cold (which I personally loved). Only thing that scared me was the Potato Bug when I opened the garage door uggghhhh. But thats the garage area so I'm sure thats normal to get bugs like that. I did see a cricket in the downstairs bathroom which i killed.....super random. Upstairs: My friends only did not like the plumbing in the upstairs bathroom. Toilet was weak to flush and the shower head with the bedroom was not coming out correctly. The kitchen: very nice and spacious. We mostly cooked since that was the idea to stay indoors in a cute place. The patio was nice too. We did spend a small amount out there when air quality was not too bad. Its a lovely and quiet neighborhood! The whole house is spacious and large and overall a good experience. :)

It was OK...

We have stayed at many VRBO's and several in Tahoe Donner. This one was OK. Not terrible by any means -- and we have stayed in terrible -- but not fantastic. The biggest surprise was dealing with Vacasa. Upon arrival we reported that a rec pass was missing (which meant not everyone in our party could enjoy the amenities) and they never followed up. The next day we reported water under the kitchen sink -- again no follow up until I texted again the next day, concerned that it was perhaps a leak and damage would occur. Finally, the downslope driveway was not plowed, despite all other roads all over TD and Truckee being clear, making the approach to the tight garage very treacherous to navigate. Reported that too....you guessed it, no response. Not sure if the owners are getting their moneys worth with the property manager. The house was fine -- family room is very small; six of us fit ok -- 10 would not fit for sure. Beds were old and uncomfortable but doable for 3 nights. Couch is stained in many places and blankets/throws do not smell as though they are laundered. I liked the multiple thermostats upstairs and down to better control temp on multiple levels and the heated bathroom floors are wonderful. Kitchen was well enough stocked to make cooking easy. Location is great for kids or beginner skiers. On balance maybe you get what you pay for -- this one is not as $$ as others in the neighborhood.

Easy and Fun

We had no problems booking the property and there was plenty of communication in regards to getting into the home. It's in a nice are of Truckee and close to downtown and the shops. The house was clean, comfortable, and big. There was plenty of room and the bedrooms were a little spread out so everyone could have their own space. That was a nice feature. My son loved the Ping Pong table. We would come back again.

Weekend Getaway

A very nice place. Great location. Well stocked and a nice layout. We all enjoyed the space and surrounding areas. The only complaint is that check in was at 4:00 pm. and we were not allowed access to exactly 4. We had driven a long way and arrived shortly after 3:00 p.m. So we waited in the car for an hour uneccesarily I feel.

Donner Lake Vacation

The place is great. They have everything you need specially the kitchen. Kudos to property management/Owner. The only issue we had in the house was the shower get clogged up and slow draining the water. Then also hard to find places to do activities with kids due to we took our vacation after the summer and beginning of winter. So a lot of places are closed. Weather is cold. But no snow yet. So its kind a hard to find things to do. But the place is great just to chill out and cook food for the family. Kids loved it too. Thank you for letting us use the home.

Perfect place

The property is very clean. The location is great; not too far from town, but far enough to feel “in nature.” The house Is well equipped and very comfortable. My husband and I, our two teen boys, and two-year old daughter had a fantastic time and hope to come back. The one struggle we had was limited garbage space. The garbage (bear box) was already full when we arrived. We stayed for six nights and garbage pick up was on the third day, but other than that it was smooth sailing. I definitely recommend this place!
