Fun weekend in the Snow Globe

The snow globe home was beautiful as described and fit our three families comfortably. The kitchen was well-stocked, beds were comfortable, fireplace was cozy, and the setting was beautiful. Also conveniently close to Tahoe Donner Downhill and Cross-country centers. Would definitely recommend this property and hope to stay here again -- maybe in the summer next time!

Great stay!

This cabin was perfect for our family! Check in was easy. The kitchen had everything we needed to make meals. Plenty of towels, linens and pillows. Lots of games that kept the kiddos occupied at night. The master bed was comfortable. The backyard was the perfect place to let the kids sled and play in the snow. We would definitely stay here again!

Retreat for senior golfers

We, 4 senior golfers, have been making trips to various California locations for golf, companionship and relaxation. This rental was one of our best stays. A great location, close to nice golf courses and dining but a feeling of being out in nature (the back deck looks out over the trees). The home was modern, clean, will maintained and well stocked. The bed and bath arrangement provided quiet and private accommodations for all. We will be looking to rent again in the future.

Nice place, good time

Location was beautiful. Upon arrival lots of spider webs, and musty, but overall clean. Wear shoes on the deck. It definitely needs refinishing. Check in guide needs to be updated. Overall we had fun, close to everything, teen room was great for the kids. Would stay again.

Beautiful, great house for our families and love pricing!

Love the Tahoe Donner location, quiet street yet close to the fun. Very well cared for and lovely place with soaring windows, separate upstairs hang out room for teens (and a more superviseable open play room for smaller kids) and plenty of beds and baths for our multi-family group. We have done repeat trips here. The pricing makes it especially attractive for a nice place like this, compared to some similar-sized Tahoe homes we've looked at. With Tahoe Donner so easy-in, easy out for a mountain trip, and great skiing at Sugarbowl, a weekend at Snow Globe really works for us. Have fun!

Family fun in the snow

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!
