The washing machine is broken. They touch up the paint on the railing with spray paint and got it all over the walls. The owner came by and visited and planted some flowers. This house just wasn’t meant for my family. ##### jessica B. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### kristin s. May 16, 2019 #### Perfect and peaceful retreat for Family and Friends I have been coming to this cabin for over 25 years with my family for a week every summer, but this is the first time I've been in more "winter" weather (still snow on the ground) and with friends. It was INCREDIBLE!! The upstairs living area is a beautiful, open-space where laughter, games and cooking and gathering as a group is a constant and natural occurrence. And the balcony....it is one of my favorite places - trees and birds and quiet serenity with glimpses of the lake - just lovely! There are plenty of rooms with comfortable, cozy accommodations to fit multiple families at a time! Our kids all had their first "sleepover" together in the bunk (boys) and trundle (girls) rooms! There is a small side yard where we have played many different games in the summer, but on this trip the Dads created a small sledding hill that the kids played on for hours and built snowmen and dug snowball fighting "forts". All in all, this house has always been my favorite place to visit and we hope to make this gathering an annual one as well! ##### kristin s.

Lots of seating. Well stocked kitchen (But needs more than 2 kitchen towels and 4 dishwasher soap pods) Plenty of bathroom towels. Great location! Short walk to the lake/beach/playground etc. and close to good hiking. Enjoyed the photo albums telling the story of the home. WIfi was so-so. Overall it is a great home and large enough to accommodate our whole family. Will definitely come back again.

The openness of the upstairs makes it really nice and comfortable and easy for your family to hang out and not miss anything even while you're cooking in the kitchen or eating in the dining area. The way the bedrooms are set up accommodated my family really well. It's really close to town, the lake and ski resorts so it's perfect for all occasions. I would definitely rent this house again and recommend it to friends and family. ##### Steve M. ### 8/10 Good #### Kjersti H.

Oct 6, 2020 #### Ideal for huge groups I didn’t select this house off the bat. Our first choice was smaller (slept 8) but more current/updated and across from the lake. Something weird happened and Vacasa contacted me right before our trip saying our reservation was cancelled because the property owner decided to sell the house and would not honor any reservations even though they claim they (Vacasa) tried. What is weird is that was a few weeks ago but I still see that house being offered on Vacasa with dates reserved for rentals. Not sure why “we” were booted off our reservation...?Vacasa offered two alternate houses and this was one of them. The house has a majestic, vast and impressive living area all on the second level. Three huge log pillars between the dining and kitchen support the vaulted wood ceilings; a lot of big windows showcase the trees surrounding the property; a moderately sized wood balcony wraps around the outside of this second level. Furnishings and aesthetics are a little dated but not offensive or major. It is a HUGE living, dining, lounging, open entertainment area. 1 master bdrm and bathroom upstairs while 5 other bdrms and a full double bathroom are downstairs. There is no ‘backyard’- there is a frontyard grassy area. The fridge had a broken plastic guard rail thing on the bottom- it wouldn’t stay on at all so while that had no effect on our stay, it just gives the impression that the house isn’t as maintained as it should be. The window treatments were all either missing the plastic rod which enables you to control the amount of light so bdrms remained dark - or the cable drawstrings were non existent or stuck and not working. The master bdrm bathroom door lock was completely busted so there was absolutely no hardware in the door piece that connects to the groove in the frame- so yup, if you’re on the jon, the door is ajar so I shoved a bunch of towels on the ground to keep it closed hoping no one would accidentally push it open. Downstairs offers such ample sleeping quarters- u could and should rent this place if you have at least 10 people. Otherwise, downstairs is a little creepy because it is a very cold, long narrow hall set up almost like a dorm. The tv- we only used once to watch one thing. The last night, I wanted to chill out and watch a movie w the kids and the entire system was down- nothing we did w the router, connections would give back the signal. We called in and Vacasa repeatedly stated it was so late in the evening and she wasn’t sure if she could send anyone. It was 7:03 pm and that is a time when families might want to nestle in and watch a show together. The good thing is she did try and place a work order for it. Then a lady called me attempting to run down the list of stuff we already tried and said she was all the way in Tahoe City.... so clearly, she wasn’t thrilled about coming to help us so I let her off the hook because I am not a rude or selfish person. She said she would give me a small refund of some sort. I am not sure how she will plan on giving me that. The house is nice overall and the big selling point is its size and lofty, impressive space for huge parties. It is across from a lake park which is very nice but you have to pay to enter during vacay season. It was open and free for us as it is Oct. but there were no more rentals as they’re off season. Just minor stuff should be fixed and overall, a good place for a lot of people to relax and spend time. ##### Veronica K. ### 8/10 Good #### Carrie R.

One small improvement that would make better is to have common things like sandwich bags, aluminum foil, Saran Wrap etc. not a huge deal but would be a nice touch as other places I’ve rented have a stock of those types of things. ##### Jodi G.

My only complain would be the lack of AC. During the day is hot and the house does not offer AC, though, they provided two fans (noisy), it would have been great to have an AC system. But, overall, the house is amazing. ##### Arty B. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2020 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### jackie G.

Jul 25, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication #### Great location and house We had a great time. We received a call on our drive there that the oven didn’t work. When we arrived the code given was incorrect and thankfully I had received a call from the property manager earlier in the day regarding the oven as that was the only way to reach a person to get the correct code. I was never given a number to call for help of any sort otherwise. If I didn’t have that number we could have been stranded, with kids, for hours. I also sent about 5 messages using the app on VRBO leading up to the trip and those were never replied to. So, the owner should definitely switch property management companies. Aside from that, the house itself couldn’t be better. It’s large and location is amazing! ##### Elise E.

Jul 18, 2020 #### Roomy Donner House The house had tons of space, and plenty of beds so multiple families or small groups would be very comfortable. The beach is across the street (small fee) and a fantastic trail system is just half a mile away (you can get to Donner summit if you're motivated). The kitchen and living area are wide open and bright, with a nice balcony off the living area. Very clean. It's a 10 - 15 minute drive for groceries and other supplies. ##### Roberta C. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Charles T. Jul 9, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication #### Beautiful home Great house would definitely stay again. Only issue the oven didn't work and couldn't get thru for maintenance to get it fixed lucky we could use the grill for our cooking needs. Still great house and experience. ##### Charles T.

So much space to hang out all in one room for watching tv, cooking together and eating dinner together. Some of the beds were really firm but we all slept great! Would come back again! ##### Jessica S. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julie P.

Aug 20, 2019 #### Fun weekend The house was great the downstairs was a little quirky. Although the housekeepers should dust a little better and the bath mats should be washed. That being said we would stay there again. ##### Clydine G. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2019 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jance D.
