Our party (two families with kids under 10) had an amazing time at this property. The location — just a few minute walk to Tahoe Donner — was super convenient. The house was also really well-designed for families. We would definitely love to stay here again on our next ski trip.
The house was very comfortable and spacious with lovely light and amenities. We really appreciated being so close to the Tahoe Donner resort given we were skiing with two small children. The owner was very responsive and helpful. We would definitely come again!
We have stayed in many nice Tahoe Donner houses, but this is, from our experience, the best equipped for guests, esp. in the kitchen. A very comfortable and relaxing stay!
We had a great time here! The location is perfect for beginner skiers/boarders - we spent two days with the kids at Tahoe Donner slopes; not crowded, easy to get to from the house and minimal hassle even during CV. The house was very clean and comfortable. I especially appreciated the two separate family rooms so kids could be watching TV and hubby and I could chat by the fire. Thank you Ken!

Terrific property, so close to Donner Downhill Ski
The location is of course ideal, just a 5 minute walk to the ski slopes. But even better is the house itself. Incredibly well taken care of, kitchen has everything you need, comfortable spaces to be (and to be apart if you want some space from your group), clean. We were there in the winter and the kids had fun playing in the huge snow piles in the yard. The view of trees out back was trqnquil. And last but not least, Ken, the owner was a delight to communicate with and made the whole process even better.

Thanks Scott! We are happy you enjoyed your time. Please come back again! Ken
We loved our second winter stay at this lovely house near Tahoe Donner. The home is within walking distance of the ski area, which was perfect for us given we have two small children. We were able to walk to the resort within 10 minutes or so in time for ski school. The house is also close to the cross country ski area, which we visited for snow shoeing, as well as the snow play area. Great natural food store located in Truckee not very far away to stock up on yummy food. The house itself is lovely and very spacious/comfortable. Very well stocked kitchen and lots of room to spread out. We enjoyed sitting in the living room and playing the various board games available. Our girls were in heaven at the house and have already asked to come again next year.

Thanks Jessica! We are so glad that you enjoyed your time and appreciate you coming back. Sounds like you love it as much as we do. We look forward to you coming back next year! Ken & Maureen
We loved our stay at this wonderful Tahoe Donner jewel! Super clean and nicely decorated, close to Tahoe Donner slopes, and much more roomy than we expected (and we had high expectations). The kids were thrilled when we walked in, there was plenty of room with 3 full bathrooms (plus a half), a huge vaulted open living room/kitchen, and a separate TV room where they could close the door and watch a movie without disturbing anyone. The two master bedrooms have amazing large beautiful bathrooms with walk-in showers and a jetted bath tub upstairs. And the garage easily fit our SUV with rooftop cargo carrier. The parking lot to the ski area (with courtesy shuttle) is only a few houses down. Owner was very responsive with any questions. Super fun vacation, thank you Ken and Maureen! We will be back!

So glad you enjoyed your stay! We would welcome you back anytime!
We had our first stay in late Jan 2020 at this Tahoe Donner house and could not have had a better experience. The home is beautiful and has everything we needed for a great winter weekend. I've stayed at many homes in the Tahoe area and this was by far the nicest in terms of amenities and condition. The home is perfect for multiple families and is very suitable for small children as well. The bedroom layout provides for privacy and comfort. The owner was easily available via email and clear with instructions. He provided very helpful information about how to maximize our weekend stay.
The Tahoe Donner ski lifts is a short walk from the house and the house has everything you need for fun winter time activities including indoor games for the kids and a backyard perfect for making snowmen.
We will definitely be returning with our family again this winter.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We are so happy you enjoyed your stay. We would love to host your family again! Ken & Maureen
Beautiful community almost 1000ft above I-80/Truckee area. Very nice cabins/homes with well-kept streets. This was a well-designed open cabin and easy for the family to enjoy. It is a short walk to Tahoe/Donner ski resort. We had snow at the house for kids to play in right outside the back door. Great up-to-date amenities throughout the house. A short drive down the hill to Old Town Truckee restaurants and shops, as well as stores for supplies. Definitely enjoyed the experience.
Wonderful house near the Tahoe Donner slopes and rec area. The house was spacious and very comfortable. The kitchen was extremely well stocked for a rental which we much appreciated. Hosts were very communicative, overall a great stay. Thanks Ken
Very clean, well stocked kitchen. Kids enjoyed the TV room while while my wife and I cooked in peace. And the layout / furnishings were good for a 2yr old. Overall loved the place.
We had an outstanding time renting this cabin. Host communicated everything effectively. The house was very clean, even with a group leaving the same day we checked in. House is located a short walk to Tahoe donner ski slopes. Great place for our 6 year old to learn. The house is nicer then the pictures show. With two families, it is definitely larger then needed. Plenty of room with a large kitchen great room. Overall great experience.

Thanks Bret! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay. Come back anytime! Ken
This has been our favorite vacation house ever. The house is perfectly laid out for time spent together as well as privacy when desired. We like to cook on our trips and this was without a doubt the best equipped kitchen I have ever found in a rental. Every corner was sparkling clean and homey touches like throw blankets for the couches were abundant. It was all just perfect for our family.

Thanks Aubrey! We are so happy you enjoyed your stay and our home worked for you and your family! We would love to have you and your family come back again. Ken & Maureen
The location of the house was perfect. The layout of the house made it easy with a group. The cleanliness of the house needed some more attention. Cobwebs, dust on fans, bobby-pins in the middle of the bathroom floor (made us think...was this washed?) dirty freezer and dirty dishes in the cupboards. Limited bath and dish towels made things difficult.

Susan:
Thank you for your review, however, the house was cleaned before your arrival and we wish you would have communicated these issues to us when you were there and we may have been able to address them.
Ken & Maureen
We choose to stay at this house again after having a very positive experience the first time. Both the home and the owners are exceptional, and we had no issues the second time. Will be back again next winter. Our 4yr old also had a great experience in the TD ski school which is only a short walk from the house.
Beautiful home with everything you need to have a great get away, right next to Donner ski hill and recreation area. Perfect for our kid ski trip. Thanks!!
Such a treat to be able to walk to slopes ( some green , blue and black slopes) , bigger slopes a short drive away, short drive to shops and groceries, clean and comfortable home with everything you need. Ken was super easy to communicate with and very helpful. A spot I would return to in a heart beat.
We had a great experience staying here. The home was comfortable, well located, and the kitchen had everything you could ever want for cooking. The owner was friendly and responsive. Overall we highly recommend!

About the host
Hosted by Ken Frank
Welcome to our mountain home! We hope you enjoy it as much as we do. While we are not full-time residents as of yet, we love to spend as much time as possible in Tahoe Donner, Truckee and the Lake Tahoe Basin. Maureen and I were first drawn to this area for the skiing. We have enjoyed the North Shore resorts for many years and have had season ski passes to Squaw, Alpine and Sugar Bowl in the past. After having friends purchase vacation homes in the area, we began visiting in the summer as well and found fantastic hiking, biking, and lakeside activities and events. Finally, we knew we needed to have our own home here and having purchased in Tahoe Donner, have never regretted our decision. We have spent many summers and holidays in our home over the years and continue to enjoy spending our time in our little slice of paradise. We hope you enjoy your stay and come back often. Please let us know if we can provide any information on activities or recommendations on places to go, local dining, or just relaxing in the member facilities available to guests in Tahoe Donner.
