Excellent house for winter holiday stay

Our family loved staying at this house over the winter holiday break. It was very clean and well stocked, has a very spacious kitchen, fun game room, and garage that can fit an SUV with a roof rack. The location is quiet, in the upper part of Tahoe Donner, but very convenient access to downtown Truckee and Sugar Bowl ski resort. We hope to stay again!

We loved this property. This was our second visit at this property. Only issue is that the lights under the kitchen cabinets did not work this visit or our last visit, With the counters being black, it is hard to see things without light.

4 star that wants to ne a 5

Pros - clean house. Great layout. Comfortable beds. Plenty of space to entertain upstairs and down. Great price. Cons - pool table but only 1 cue with a tip. Geat wooden hhess and checkerboard but pieces mossing. Minimal functional pans for cooking. 1 non stick omelet pan had so many non stick flakes peeling off food had to be thrown away. Fireplace works but it needs clear directions. With minimal improvements this place would be a 5 star all the way

Comfortable Winter Escape

We enjoyed our family, winter break in this lovely, well-appointed home. We arrived during a snow storm and were welcomed with easy entry and garage access. (The garage door is tall enough to keep all the equipment on the car!) The kitchen had everything we needed for coffee and meals. The teenagers enjoyed the pool table in the downstairs area and entertainment access was again, easy. Would definitely visit again!

Not impressed

Housekeeping was 30 mins late beyond our check in time, there were missing cushions for the outside deck chairs that made them unusable due to their metal bottom, there was sand in the kids bed as well as no paper towels or garbage bags anywhere in the house. Overall I would definitely not stay there again.

Fun Snow Escape

We enjoyed our stay here and are curious what it’s like when the snow is not piled up around the roof. The house was comfortable and fun for the family to enjoy a snow trip. The cell coverage (at least for AT&T customers) is an issue, but there are landlines at the home in case of emergency. Sometimes texts would work and others you’d just have to wait for SOD prompt to disappear.

Blizzard Conditions, but still had fun

Great house and location. We were basically snowed in. The only downside to this house is that the owner does not allow vehicles to enter the garage. With about 6' of snow during our 3 day stay, it made getting the truck in and out of the driveway a 2 hour task.

Three Day Weekend with Friends

The place was clean upon arrival. We had some difficulty getting the gas fireplace to work but eventually figured it out on our own. The space is nice for casual visiting and playing games (pool). The coffee maker didn't work the first day but the property management responded and brought a new one. The only suggestion I have is that the kitchen be stocked better with frying pans, knives, pots, etc. But overall we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and would recommend it to others.

Major management disappointment

The house itself was nice and the VRBO pictures depict it accurately. The property management was a disaster. The wifi was completely down when we arrived. We are very familiar with complex wifi connectivity and we reset, tested speed, did everything possible and we had no access to wifi. All TV’s were streaming only so that also meant we had no access to tv/movies on any tv in the house. On top of that we had zero cell service at the property (ATT) so we had to leave the home to text, call someone, or get online. To me, that’s borderline a safety issue. It’s not the rental’s fault for no cell service, but be aware if you have ATT, you likely won’t be able to use your phone. I let them know immediately and they gave me very basic router reset options which we’d already tried. They said they’d get back to us on this which never happened. We also could not figure out how to turn on their fireplace based on instructions left and they also never replied to us on that. We asked if the bbq on patio had propane or not and they also never got back to us. You are basically speaking to a “robot” with vague answers if you have an issue while there, so know going into this that you likely won’t have help. We left the cabin after less than 24 hours (paid for 4 nights) but management was still uncaring and unhelpful.

Girls getaway

Great home for us, each year we look to the mountains to escape and glad we stumbled upon the Hansel Escape. Great open kitchen and living room, fun game room below. Also close to the golf courses (few minutes) and only 7 min drive to the lake or to Safeway. Can’t wait to rent again!!!
