    We recently stayed at this rental home. Our vacation was perfect from start to finish. Very clean, well maintained home. The location couldn’t have been better with a walk across to the lake and views are spectacular! Kitchen stocked well with pots and pans, appliances, dishes, etc. Beds and baths well supplied with fresh linens and bath towels. Max, the host of the property, is very kind and communicates with you from start to finish to make sure your needs are met. Highly recommend this property and would definitely book another vacation here. 😎. Our family is planning our visit for next year.

    Perfect trip! Location was excellent with lake just across the roadway from the house. Perfect views. House is very comfortable and clean. Well stocked in the kitchen with dishes, pots and pans, etc. We did a lot of cooking using kitchen and bbq provided on the deck. Fresh linens, towels, and toiletries all provided by the host. Highly recommend this place. Host, Max, stayed in touch with us before and after stay to be sure our needs were met. He was a joy to work with. Excellent experience and family already planning our trip for next year

    We stayed for 5 nights with our family. Love the location which allowed us to swim and kayak right across from the property. 4 bedrooms and 3 baths as advertised but be aware that the 4 th bedroom and bath are a separate apartment accessed below the deck of the house. We loved it for our son from out of state. The house is dated but has what you need. The host, Max, was great with communication! I hope he will make the needed updates soon so I can give more stars.

    The home is beautiful, spacious, clean, well appointed with everything you need to make your stay easy and carefree, From high end appliances, ample tableware, cookware, paper products, well stocked spice drawer, comfortable beds and sofas, large bathrooms, fluffy towels, and room to stretch out. There are pleanty of restaurants, grocery stores and bakeries within a 6-10 minute drive. We especially enjoyed Zano's Italian restaurant. And last but not least, the stunning views of Donner Lake which is directly across the street. It's absolutely beautiful. we enjoyed our walks along the shore. Max, the owner is great and made himself available to answer any questions we may have had. He also left a plate of homemade cookies on the counter and a wonderful welcome note. What a happy and memorable way to begin our stay. Thank you Max.
