We had the best week here. The house is absolutely gorgeous and perfectly appointed. In fact, we were so comfortable there, that we were reluctant to get out and enjoy the surroundings. But we did manage to tear ourselves away and it was a great launching point for multiple adventures, including biking nearby paved trails (including down to Lake Tahoe), rafting on the Truckee River, and hiking the nearby trails. Tahoe Donner has a nice network of trails, but there were lots of other trails to explore nearby as well. We found everything that we needed in the kitchen. The beds and sitting areas were very comfortable, and the entertainment options were perfect for families. We will definitely go back! Highly recommend it. We were there in the summer and loved it, but it would also be a great ski option. It would comfortably fit two families, with room leftover.
