Great place!

Everything clean, working order and well-kept. We especially enjoyed the little details that were fun for our small children - the swing and hammock! The older kids and adults enjoyed the patio seating. Overall - a great experience!

Incredible stay, super responsive hosts!

I was incredibly impressed with the cleanliness of the vrbo, the short distance to downtown Truckee and ski mountains, and the responsiveness of our hosts. They were very communicative and helpful - a big snowstorm blew through Tahoe and we felt super supported by our hosts as we experienced some inconveniences related to the inclement weather. I would 100% recommend this stay!

Awesome stay!

1st time visiting Tahoe and was blessed to be able to enjoy Donner Lake and Lake Tahoe! Like 2 vacations in one. Excellent communication with the owner and check in/out process was an automated breeze. Property was perfect for us with 4 bedrooms and plenty of beds to accommodate our whole family. I recommend this property if you’re looking for simple sleeping accommodations for a large group to visit this area.

The Art Gang

We five friends have traveled together for 20 years. Your house quickly became “our home.” We found the supplies we needed and settled in quickly. We were unable to move deck chairs to the lower deck ( age and all) but saw there were lots of furniture available. We enjoyed the back deck, the quiet neighborhood and would use you in the fu.

Winter wonderland

A clean quiet thoughtful place to enjoy the after Christmas snow experience. The kitchen was perfectly stocked and the carpeting was so soft. There was no clutter which added to the open feel and relaxation. The water tasted really good and like the hard water we get where I live

A Perfect Winter Holiday

We had the perfect Thanksgiving holiday at this nice and cozy house. Our host was very responsive and helpful with almost any request we had. The house, bathrooms, sheets, kitchen, bbq, fireplace and rooms were very clean. The kitchen was fully equipped with utensils, all types of pots/pans and dish-wares. The house was insulated very well and the heater/water-heater was working well. The driveway and front deck was clean out of snow to avoid slippage. Definitely we will come back.

About the host

Hosted by Steven LaMothe

Host profile image
This is our primary second home... We spend a lot of time in Tahoe donner in the summer and we just LOVE this place. We hope you enjoy your stay at this incredible neighborhood because it is truly special.

Why they chose this property

Tahoe donner is an incredible space. When you get here you will know! The best part of this home is it is very close to everything that is fun, mountain bike trails, skiing, the clubhouses. Its also less busy at the top of the hill! Truckee is an incredible place to bring your family there are 5 world class ski resorts surrounding us! Donner lake sure gives tahoe a run for its money as well.
