Best Airbnb we ever stayed!

Maureen's place is just perfect. The cleanest, extremely well stocked and safe for kids. If you have young toddlers, don't look elsewhere. Her place has safety gates, high chairs, pack and plays, toys and books. Also a lot of fun for kids all ages. We were 4 adults, 2 kids and 1 toddler and there was plenty of space. The community is amazing, the kids could play in the front and backyard, plus we did a 2 min drive to their HOA snowplay and had a blast. Maureen and Chris are the best hosts we ever had too. They are so responsive, helpful, incredibly organized and detail oriented, made everything easy and every process seamless. They were extra attentive and helpful when we were driving during a snow storm, and even left the heater going before we arrived. Can't recommend them enough and for sure this will be our go to place anytime we go to Tahoe! Thank you so much Maureen and Chris for everything. We had a great time!

Great location and space

This property looked like the pictures. It was clean and well equipped for our weekend stay. We could easily prepare meals, and we used the front deck to relax. It is in quiet location and short driving distance to Donner Lake, grocery stores, and the main street of Truckee. There are a lot of instructions to follow, so be sure to review everything prior to your arrival. Owner was responsive to questions.

About the host

Hosted by Maureen Griffin White

We are an active family who loves coming to our Tahoe house. Sometimes we come up to take advantage of all the great recreational offerings in the Tahoe area. Other times I come up with girlfriends and we simply relax and take a break from our busy Silicon Valley lives.

Why they chose this property

We bought this property before we had children. We skied 2-3 times a month and knew we wanted a place of our own. Our family now comes often to enjoy both winter and summer activities.

What makes this property unique

Situated among the beautiful pine trees, we back up to an evergreen belt/national forest ensuring privacy. The house is well designed for either families or couples, with a great room suitable for children or entertaining. We also like the flat driveway during winter time, making it easy to get in and out.
