We had an easy stay. The house was well appointed, including games and such for our kids, the jacuzzi was warm, the heat worked well and the manager was easy to reach. We’d stay again!

Great little property on Donner Lake, nice views with a balcony and hot tub. Overall great experience but a few smaller issues. First, steep driveway that was very icy with the weather and I definitely needed to shovel/scrape it even with a AWD SUV on all-weather tires. Second floor power was out, (not sure if this wasn't checked beforehand?) but management was helpful in helping me find the circuit breaker to reset things. Ice making wasn't working. Dishwasher a little finicky getting started. But no significant major issues and the kids liked it. Again, overall great homebase on Donner Lake, easy access to Sugar Bowl and local trails/snowshoeing.
