We had a wonderful stay at the Bear's Lair. The bear-themed decor was charming and cozy, and it really added to the whole mountain-cabin vibe. You could tell a lot of care and love went into every detail. The place felt warm, comfortable, and welcoming from the moment we arrived. And we found the location to be perfect for enjoying nature as well as going out. We can't wait to go back and we highly recommended it for anyone looking for a cozy Tahoe getaway.
This is a great Tahoe Donner property, comfortable, nicely furnished, in a great location. You won't be disappointed.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Bear's Lair. We spent 2 weekends there and each time the place was clean and had everything we needed. We especially liked the warm welcoming feel the whole place has. It's super cozy and a great place to relax after a full day of skiing. I would strongly recommend it.
We had an amazing 3 night stay at the Bear’s Lair. The house was cozy and clean and so well stocked with home essentials. It was a great location right in the middle of Tahoe Donner and so close to town. We enjoyed the serene wooded backyard and had fun building a snowman right off the back deck. The hot tub was great after snow-time too! Everyone in the fam - my husband and I and our two girls (10 &12)- agreed it was our favorite VRBO we have been to and we can’t wait to book again soon!

Thank you for your review. We are glad to hear you enjoyed your trip. Please come stay with Tahoe Getaways again!
Perfect house for a ski vacation. Great location. Very well-stocked kitchen. Layout worked really well for hanging out, cooking and watching TV. Brand new hot tub sits on the back deck below beautiful pine trees. Convenient to grocery store and skiing. Comfortable beds. Good wifi. TV with all applications (just put in your acct info).

The exceptional home, the Bears Lair in Tahoe Donner
The Bears Lair in Tahoe Donner was an exceptional rental property that exceeded all of our expectations. The fully stocked kitchen made it a breeze to cook meals, and the amazing hot tub was the perfect way to relax after a long day on the slopes. The amenities provided were top-notch and the board games and video games added an extra touch of fun for the whole family. Sitting by the fireplace was a truly lovely experience and added to the cozy atmosphere of the home. The large garage was a great bonus, as it provided shelter for our car during our stay. We will certainly stay at the Bears Lair again in the future and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable vacation rental.

Comfortable, well stocked home. Very clean. Porch setting very good in the late afternoon at this time of year. A little instruction relating to TV - video set-up would be nice. Also, a coded front door lock, not a lockbox that is difficult to open. The new coded boxes we are seeing a lot of, are much easier to use and can be set to the last four digits of the renter's phone number.

We were here for a long weekend of skiing, and this home was a terrific base. It is attractive and comfortable, with well-designed spaces. The kitchen is well-equipped and everything is very clean. Lately some of the rental homes we have stayed in have been stingy with practical supplies, like kleenex, soaps, towels, plastic wraps, foil, kitchen sponges, etc. All of those and more were stocked at Bear's Lair. So appreciated! Communication was super straightforward with the property management company, and everything went smooth with our stay. Nice to have access to the garage for our cars too, since the driveway is pretty steep and was icy during our visit. Will definitely return when the opportunity presents!

We're so glad that your stay was all you needed! We can't wait too host you and yours again.
We had a really lovely week at this house, well set up for family time as well as for our college and high school age kids to have some space and privacy. The house is nicely done and very well stocked. You also have a GREAT cleaning crew. The house was spotless. We especially appreciated nice little touches that made settling in easier -- like the charging cord at the little desk in the dining area and access to extra linens. We didn't need the linens but it was great to feel trusted. One very minor suggestion: you might want to leave some laundry detergent. We would have liked to help the cleaning crew by starting the first load but didn't realize there was no detergent until we were about to walk out the door. We enjoyed our week. Thanks.

We’re thrilled that you were satisfied with your experience. We would love to welcome you back to Tahoe!
This home is beautifully decorated and clean. The kitchen had dishes, glassware and cookware you would find in a nice home, with all cooking accessories, too. Towels and bed linens were clean and nice, washer and dryer were brand new. (or seemed to be) The layout of the house is perfect for a family vacation, it is in a quiet neighborhood and the deck is peaceful and quiet, too. It is easy drive to the pools or lake, too. Check-in was easy. We wish we could have been there all summer.
