New listing - lakeside condo
My family of 5 booked this condo over the winter so that we had easy access to ski Sugarbowl. It's about a 10-15 min easy drive away from Sugarbowl. It's located in a Donnor Lake condo complex. The unit itself was very clean, beautiful views (lakeside!). There's a porch that overlooks the water - nice to enjoy a glass of wine at the end of the day. The unit is located on a second floor with no elevator. It has a washer/dryer in unit. Size was good for our family of 5.Kitchen could use a few more pots/pans and spices/seasonings. Overall, enough pots/pans but I don't cook extensively when we stay at VRBOs. We routinely go to Tahoe for weekend trips so I usually bring our food already cooked.There is no central heat - head is provided by radiators (in each room) and wood stove. This provided adequate heat, we were just confused at first. Check in process was smooth, owner communication was good. Property was clean and well maintained. When we stayed, there were no other reviews for the property, so not sure if it's a new listing. We had some issues at first due to extra person charge (25 per person if the group is 4 people). The owner also reached out to us about 1-2 weeks before our stay requesting an additional damage deposit. I don't mind the extra charges or damage deposit but wish it had been stated clearly at the time of booking. Hopefully this process will improve.
