    Overall we had a wonderful time at this cabin! The Pros- We loved that they had sleds to use. And since the property is on a bit of a hill, we were able to carve out some fun runs in the backyard. We also built a snowman and snow fort on the deck. Kids had so much fun! The kitchen table was great for meals and games. Plenty of rooms and beds for all. We were able to cook breakfast and dinners with the pans and utensils provided. It was only 8 minutes to Tahoe Donner and we enjoyed both skiing and sledding therr. Internet and Netflix were easy to access. Cons- The coffee table was broken on arrival so we just put it in the garage. The washer and dryer was full of wet clothes. Didn’t love the shampoo/conditioner/body wash—it was granulated and you had to activate with water. Fortunately I had brought some from home but others in our party did not. The driveway is really steep. If you come when it snows, keep chains on your vehicle so you can get back out. The guest passes to the rec center were still more than we wanted to pay with the discount so we opted not to use those. Overall, it was a solid stay. I really enjoyed their tall windows and loved the view of the majestic, snow covered trees all around the property.

    This house was perfect for a weekend of snowplay! We were two families with 6 kids between us (3 infants) and the house was a great size for us to spread out. The large backyard was ideal for sledding - the kids were in snow heaven! Kitchen was well stocked for cooking (although we also took advantage of the delicious takeaway pizza at the community pizzeria very close by). In addition to beautiful views into the forest, the house has a well-loved, cozy feel. Highly recommended!

    Nice location and comfortable for 4 couples. Kitchen was well stocked, however, all the closets were a mess. Extra blankets were just thrown in the closets not even folded. The garage was very dirty and full of stuff making it hard to get two vehicles in the garage.Furniture is worn out. We notified the management company when we first arrived and again the following day that the master bathtub faucet was broken. No one ever came to repair it.

    We had a great stay at this beautiful Snow Globe House with another family. It was everything we could’ve hoped for and more. Not only did we get a ton of snow and have some fun ski days and snow play, but the house was inviting, cozy, and the fireplace was so welcoming. The floor to ceiling windows in the living room look out on the most beautiful snow-covered forest, and there were plenty of sleeping areas for adults and kids alike. There is a teenagers’ room upstairs with beanbags, a TV, a mini fridge and multiple beds. There were sleds for us to use in the large open backyard, sliding down the slopes and building snowmen. The kitchen is so well equipped, we made all of our meals there. It had everything we could possibly need from spices to wine glasses to dishware and appliances. There are two bathrooms upstairs and two bathrooms downstairs. Two showers upstairs and a shower and a bathtub downstairs. That made it so easy to accommodate everyone in our large group in the daily morning rush to get outside and play. The house was clean and well-maintained. As far as location, this house is beautifully situated, located in a quiet neighborhood near a golf course, but close enough to be able to get into town (a 10 minute drive) and with convenience shops and a complete snowplay area even closer by, the Tahoe Donner community area. The community area has swimming pool, gym, fitness classes, yoga, sledding, snow tubing, cross country skiing and fun events. We snowshoed on the golf course. It was amazing - we will definitely go back to the Snow Globe House!
