The house was spotless upon arrival. Even though it's dog friendly, it does not smell like pets. The beds were amazingly comfortable, linens soft, towels plush, kitchen well stocked - all the little things that really add up to making it a comfortable stay. You do have to bring your own games, beach towels & chairs, spices, cooking oils (due to Covid). Loved the location, we went to Donner Lake almost every day to swim and play.
