    We had a great stay. Our family loved the location. We could walk to the piers ( across the street) or a 5 minute walk to the Donner Memorial Park where I would hike through daily with our dog.My parents enjoy the house with minimal stairs and 3 small but nice decks to go and relax outside.

    The pace was clean , is fully equiped ,the bbq had propaneis within walking distance to the lake , and a shortbdrice to town, and Donner state park, a short drive to Lake Tahoe ,very cute house. The only thing is that for the summer the home does not have air-conditioning and if its hot out side it can get up to 80 or 79degrees inside the house they have fans and it helps to be able to sleep at night, but it gets hot. Otherwise the home is great and comfortable and quiet neighborhood. We would visit there again.it was great.

    The house is clean and the perfect size for a family of four and a dog! It's also in a great location. The public docks can be accessed on foot in less than one minute, and downtown Truckee is only five minutes by car.

    Everything was as expected- no air conditioning but screens on the windows and fans for each room made it comfortable. The location is great - right across the street from Donner Lake access on the public piers and just a short walk to the private beach and state park. The house was perfect for our family of 6 adults. It was great to have access to the Tahoe-Donner resort and beach facilities for $20 pp/ per day. We look forward to coming back.

    This house was in an amazing location, perfect for boating with our own inflatable raft and kayak (which we could store in the garage). Two public piers and a small beach area are just 200 ft away. They were will stocked for beach and water fun, with beach chairs and sand toys and a small inflatable lounge chair for the kids. The kitchen had all the supplies needed. The house was clean and comfortable, and the local host was very helpful when we had questions. I would highly recommend.
