Thanks for the great accommodations! We will be sure to visit again!
Charles and Joanne's place was perfect for our two family trip. There was a kids living room and an adult living room, making movie night very enjoyable for everyone. The kids enjoyed the bunk beds and the adults the king size bed accommodations. Beds were very comfy, which is a rare find in most rentals. Hot tub was also a fantastic treat.

Place is beautiful and convenient.!!
Place is beautiful and convenient. We had 4 small families, and all had our own space for sleeping and room for adults to mingle and cook upstairs while kids played downstairs. Kids loved playing in the snow around the property. Easy to get to the downhill resort & snow play park. House is furnished well and has all the amenities in the kitchen you need! A wonderful visit. Thanks for sharing your home!

Wonderful home. Fully stocked. Very comfortable. Thank you! so much again for the wonderful stay.
Just a wonderful, quality home. The beds are crazy comfortable. Excellent kitchen and supplies. Charles and Jo are terrific hosts. Our family had a great time and hope to return again someday soon. Thank you! so much again for the wonderful stay.
The house was very clean and just as the pictures and listing described. More than enough room for 8 adults. The house was fully stocked, leaving nothing out. The neighborhood is really nice, serene, and very close to three great golf courses. I would highly recommend this property and would definitely return again.
Nice and clean house, great for groups. Host had excellent communication and quickly answered all our questions. Location is near a small sledding slope and ice skating rink, sleds are provided at the house. Lots of food options from Asian to Mexican. We’d definitely be back.

You guys definitely thought through it all! Thanks for a great home and week.

The home was really lovely. Friendly, attentive, and responsive hosts. Would return!
Charles and Joanne's home was really lovely. It fit our party of 8 perfectly and comfortably. Great stays are often about the details — this home smelled really nice all the time, it was set at the perfect temperature — we never had to touch the thermostat. The beds and pillows were extremely comfortable. The closet was stocked with pool towels and lots of comfortable throw blankets for everyone. Everything smelled freshly laundered...as sometimes you wonder if blankets are ever washed. The pool table, the big TV room, and the hot tub all kept the different ages in our group happy and occupied. The kitchen was very well stocked, and everything was in very good condition. I was impressed to see that the water filter on the fridge read "good" and not "replace." Details. The boot and glove dryers in the garage were a nice touch, and having an electric vehicle was a huge plus to have a charger at the house. Charles and Joanne are friendly, attentive, and responsive hosts. Would return!

Amazing cabin!
We just finished our second stay at the cabin in the past three years and it was just as good if not better this time than the first time. The place was immaculate and equipped with everything that we needed for our stay in the snow. The owners are fantastic and excellent with communication. Overall, our party of 7 had a fantastic time and highly recommend this cabin to anyone looking to stay in the Tahoe area.
This property was so much more than we could have hoped for. It was what they advertised and promised. We enjoyed the amenities, the easy drive into Yellowstone and especially just sitting on the back deck in the rocking chairs with the absolutely amazing views. I would rent this property again and would recommend it to anyone looking for a place to vacation.
House was very comfortable and thoughtfully arranged. We only had 6 people but could have easily accommodated a lot more. Close proximity to Tahoe donner skiing, flat driveway (important for winter!), Well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, lovely modern bathrooms, and really communicative host. We enjoyed our stay!
This was the perfect house for our two families to get together. Two masters and two bunk rooms were ideal. Shared spaces were great for everyone to play games- ping pong, cards, chess. Hot tub, grill, kitchen were all nice and put to good use. Great location for everything we wanted to do in Donner, Truckee, and beyond.
Charles and Jo created a wonderful space that is beautifully appointed, functional and comfortable. We spent a long weekend relaxing in the hot tub and playing on nearby slopes as well as the ping pong table. The beds are actually comfortable! This house is big enough that each age group can have their own space. We will be back!
