Wonderful stay

We enjoyed a great ski weekend here. The house is perfect for 2 families with children. The house easily accommodates 8ppl with room to spare. We enjoyed the well equipped kitchen, the hot tub, and of course the amazing views. If you’ve got beginner skiers Tahoe Donner Ski resort is perfect and just 5 min drive from here. The owner was great with communicating with us and answered any questions we had super fast. I highly recommend!

Very comfortable Tahoe Donner house

Our group of 10 (two families) enjoyed our stay here. The youngest, a 12 year old boy, LOVED the upstairs attic space! The space was very comfortable for all of us. The kitchen is well stocked and we loved having such a big dining table! We did not use the hot tub because the weather was quite warm. No air conditioning here in the mountains, but there were fans in the bedrooms that kept us cool. The views from the decks were also very nice!

Great getaway with great views

We had a great time at this beautiful house! Everything was clean and well cared for, the views were amazing, with multiple decks from which to enjoy them. The kids really enjoyed the bonus attic room, and the big, fairly flat open space in the back, which was perfect for snow play. (We were there in spring, at the end of a mild winter, so I imagine it might be somewhat different to visit when there's a ton of snow.) Overall, this was just a wonderful property for our group of three families to enjoy a spring break getaway. Thank you!

Beautiful view and amazing house!!

Jennifer was so nice and made the check-in process very easy. The house is beautiful and sleeps 12 extremely comfortably. The view from the hot tub is so relaxing after a day of skiing. 10/10 would recommend and stay again!

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer Heinemann

We are a family with 4 kids from the San Francisco Bay Area. We love all the great outdoor activities Lake Tahoe has to offer from cycling and swimming in the summer to downhill and cross-country skiing in the winter.

Why they chose this property

We wanted a quiet and relaxing getaway where we could spend vacation time with family and friends, yet a place that was convenient to shopping and recreational activities.

What makes this property unique

We loved this location - perched up at the high point of this area with spectacular, panoramic views in all directions. We decided to build our dream vacation home here and are excited to share it with you.
