Nice place, but issue with heating in winter

This property is nice. It comfortably held our family of five for two days skiing. There is lots of space and good amenities. However, when we got there they heat in the main living area was 55 and after 5 hours of heating it got to the low 60s. It didn't get much hotter over the two days. The rooms upstairs were fine if you closed the doors, but the main living area was always cold. Even after they sent someone over, it never improved. There was another review for this property in winter 2023 that had the exact same experience. If you are planning a winter trip to Truckee, I would avoid this place until the heating is fixed.

Snow trip

Great set up for snow trip, perfect for 3 families with kids. We had 4 couples and 2 kids and it worked well. House is very functional for a group and well used, some broken things here and there (stool, fridge drawer, towel racks, built in microwave). 2 extra microwaves and toaster/toaster oven. Very 80s style. Use of garage for one car and snow driveway being cleared during a lot of snow was very helpful. Backyard backs up to a golf course which allowed for great snow exploring. The Tahoe Donner community was a great location and the sno play in the community was great for our younger kids (3 & 6). Would definitely stay here again for a group.

Spacious property near lots of winter activities

The place was comfortably spacious. We were only a couple minutes from Downhill Ski Resort and 20 minutes from Donner Ski Ranch. There was a large area in the back of the house where the kids could play in the snow. The fireplace in the living room made the stay cozy. However, there were some aspects of our stay that were less than desirable. Some of the plates were dirty with old food on them and the pillowcases in at least two of the bedrooms smelled like unwashed hair. One of the full bathrooms is in the kids’ room, and inaccessible from one of the main bedrooms. This might have been made more explicit on the listing. Most importantly, the heater did not work for 3 of the 4 days we were there. The thermostat read 50 degrees F at one point. We texted and called the property manager who promised to come by to fix it but they never did. Thank goodness we managed to get a fire going in the fireplace. Otherwise, it would have been uncomfortable indoors.

A little disappointing for the cost

The location and layout of the house worked well for us (3 couples and young kids) but the house could use some general care/upkeep. After reading past reviews (from as far back as last summer!) about the oven not working properly, it was extremely annoying that it still wasn’t fixed. After an hour and a half, the oven still didn’t get up to 300 degrees. The toilets are really old and barely flush efficiently and the beds were uncomfortable. This could be a great place to stay with some attention to repairs and updating. They do provide a washer and dryer but both are really small. The wood burning stove was great…we had a fire going all day/every day. If you do plan to stay here, make sure you bring plenty of normal supplies (paper towels, toilet paper, bath towels etc) as they provide just the minimum amount. We had tons of snow and the snowplow service was fantastic…they cleared the roads and our driveway every morning.

Nice place in Truckee

The place was very nice and accomodating. There were a few items that needed attention. There were no supplies that are usually provided. Napkins, paper towels (one roll), garbage bags (only one). We could not get the stove to work, either on broil or bake. That made it tough for preparing or warming up food. We had eight guests and three children and there was hardly one towel each with very few wash cloths. The place was nice with plenty of space, blankets, extra sheets and pillows.
