Northwoods Hangout | Near Tahoe Donner

We had a terrific stay! The house was perfect for our family of four, with two littles. The kitchen was very well stocked with all types of cooking utensils and pots/pans, etc--- even sheet pans so I was able to make a tart! The house itself was a great layout, the kids loved playing in the loft, the living room was cozy in the evening with the wood stove. The beds were comfortable enough, especially after a day of skiing and playing in the snow. I was originally worried that based on prior reviews there would not be enough paper goods, but the house was well supplied for our four night stay and some! The only thing that could use improvement is that the pathway to the front door was not well shoveled and could be slippery. And the snow overhanging the roof looked hazardous and made me nervous walking under it to get to the front door.Otherwise great stay and we would definitely stay here again! The location was top notch too!!

Our family went to a ski trip at Lake Tahoe Donner Downhill Ski Resort and booked this place. 1.It is really close to the ski resort and very convenient. 2.The price is reasonable. 3.Very functional house, and has everything we need to stay for 4 days 4.Has a lot of space for our family of 6. 5.It’s nice that they have some board games and puzzles in the living room. Something for the whole family to do it together. Second floors there are books and kids like them.6.In the first 2 days we don’t know how to adjust the temperature and how to use the passcode lock. The rep responded patiently and quickly. Overall it is a smooth stay. Will recommend it to others! Thank you.

Our family of 4 had a cozy 2-night getaway to enjoy the snow. The house is felt isolated and quiet despite being near to other homes. We were able to go to the back area and build snowmen, sled (not a steep hill), and have snowball fights. The kitchen had all the utensils and cookware so we needed, so we could cook our meals without leaving. We loved playing games, watching movies, and readingbooks while looking out the big windows at the tall trees nearby. The only issue is that the queen beds were incredibly firm - my husband and I couldn't sleep longer than 1 hour at a time because our bodies would get sore. If the mattresses were replaced, we’d definitely make this our go-to getaway! If you’re a side-sleeper or need a soft or medium mattress, you may need to reconsider this place.

We were very happy with the house, location, cleanliness. The WiFi was a problem for a day or so but I think it was the community. Ceiling fans in the bedrooms would have made it more comfortable at night. I would definitely recommend and go back!

Enjoyed our stay, property was clean upon arrival, beds were comfy and kitchen was well stocked. Property manager was responsive to any inquiries.

Overall good

My teenage daughter and I stayed in this house for a long weekend to go skiing at Sugarbowl. The house is really big and well equipped, with a lot of space for everybody. It was very clean and check in was the easiest I have ever experienced with a rental. We had some issues with the heating but the hosts were communicative and helpful. The price was amazing for this kind of house. We loved our stay and would return again anytime.

I was nervous based on other reviews, but it appears the property manager has been listening. We had no issues with how the place was stocked: toilet paper, paper towels, dishes, and basic kitchen items (salt, pepper, cooking oil, spices, etc) were there. I would put it as in line with most rental properties. Layout of place is great: Bedroom w. sleeping for 3 on the bottom floor (and a full bath), master suite and a separate very large loft upstairs. Lots of mattresses sleeping pads: Loft has enough space for LOTS of kids/teams - probably 6-8. LIving room is fine. Couches are comfy. Location is amazing for Tahoe Donner ski resort: 15 min walk or 3 minute drive. Driveway is pretty big - maybe 4 cars as long as they aren't huge SUVs? Place was clean, driveway was plowed

We did not stay at this property, but I had to pick a star in order to submit a review... We had to cancel our trip due to a severe winter storm in the area. Grand Welcome was not helpful, particularly communicative, or responsive about this. They did not respond to my inquiry about the state of the roads and property due to the storm. When I let them know that we would be cancelling, they directed me to file a claim through the insurance that I purchased and offered no other information or help with the process. I understand that the storms have been impacting the community greatly, but I would have appreciated more warning, information, responsiveness, and support, as we also were very disappointed to cancel our family vacation due to the storm.

Downstairs toilet was running constantly, might want to check so water bill doesn’t go up. Otherwise, great spot for our family!
