Please remember that living in the mountains and staying in a private home means that there are some things we cannot control. For example, weather and harsh conditions have knocked out Wifi and the power before. While these instances are rare, we please ask that you are patient as these are things that we unfortunately cannot control. While we will try to accommodate all requests, we handle refunds for situations like this (power outages, appliances breaking, etc.) on a case by case basis.

Nice view, but do not bring young kids or infants
The house was very impressive when we first showed up and the view is very nice, however there is a long walk from the garage to the house, about 100' and it drops about 30' in elevation, so going in and out of the house was a lot of work and I almost passed out after loading the cars up to leave (to be fair, the elevation added to the difficulty of the long walk). The house is in a nice area and is pleasant to hang out in, but 2 out of 3 bedrooms are on the bottom floor and you can hear everything through the floor. I've never experienced anything like that, but when we put down my nephew for a nap in the room below, we had to walk on our tip toes and whisper on the top floor and we couldn't tip toe over the room where the baby slept because even the creaking from the tip toes would wake him right up. Each morning the entire house wakes up at the same time because there's no way to make coffee without creaking over the two bedrooms below. I woke up one morning and thought someone was moving a chair back and forth upstairs, only to find out that my daughter was coloring and the coloring book was sliding back and forth on the ground as she colored. Although it was nice being able to commmunicate with people on the upper floor without having to leave my bedroom. Some additional advice- the shower curtain on the bottom floor hallway has lots of mildew, so we recommend taking showers in the bathroom off the kitchen. Overall we enjoyed our stay, but not without it's challenges.

Disappointed
The view is wonderful and so is the water. I knew there were stairs but not that many. The wi-fi was spotty. I rent quite a few homes across the country and I’ve never had beds with miss matched and OLD sheets. I have never had a kitchen without storage bags or silver foil. This was a college hang out.

Mountain getaway
Great house. Great location. Never stayed at Donner lake before but loved the slower pace and beautiful views. House was great. The stairs are an issue for anyone who is elderly or knee issues but we knew that so not an issue for us. The downstairs bedrooms did not have curtains on the sliding doors and the sun in the morning was a bit much. That’s really our only complaint. The beds we’re comfortable and the house well stocked. Take any aluminum wrap or storage containers you might need. We’ll definitely rent this house again. It was clean and comfy.
