Great place to stay in Tahoe Donner
We enjoyed our stay in this rental with close proximity to Tahoe Donner Diwnhill Ski. The place was as pictured. The upper glass divisions between rooms allowed for more natural and brighter light in the space. Due to snow fall we parked farther from the house (in front of the garage) to avoid difficulty leaving the property and/or getting stuck so you just had to be careful walking down the driveway with black ice. Some cobwebs and stains on walls and doors so not quite 5 stars on cleanliness. We lost power briefly while there and contacted property management for advice (flashlights, outdoor grill, gas stove and stove heater could be used). Overall great stay!

Great location and cozy
The location was perfect for Tahoe Donner skiing, and the family room area was very cozy. House and kitchen were well equipped. Only complaints are that it needed a deep clean and the "master queen" room is not a master - no bathroom. Yes, the listing says 1 bathroom, but that was misleading, imo.

Comfortable Cabin
Enjoyed our stay in this cozy cabin. It had all amenities that we needed and we even used the bbq grill one night. Great location and short drive to old town Truckee and Donner Memorial State park. We spent most of our days at the lake! We had some really warm days so the fans at house came in handy too. A big thank you to Chris for the last minute option to check in early and for being available to answer other questions. Much gratitude to the owners of Lily Pad for sharing their blessings of this cabin! We made some great family memories during our stay.

A great place to rest in the mountains
This place was a delightful place to rest and recover in after an active day in the forests around Truckee! The only challenge we faced was arriving late on our first night made it challenging to find the place. The number above the garage is the same color as the building, so we didnt actually spot it until the next morning. Besides that it was delightful and we'd be happy to stay there again!

Great Stay!
The place is really great! I could see the driveway being difficult if someone was in the thick of winter, but for us, it was perfect, the house was cozy, but was able to accommodate a bunch of us, and was really well-kept. Good TV, good table, great kitchen And was able to accommodate a family of five easily in the four separate beds

Plow the driveway and sweep the deck
The driveway was a huge liability. It was not plowed completely. I couldn’t get a 4wd f150 in low up it. Icy and slick. So, every time I had to walk up and down I took a significant risk. Almost went down a number of times.

Exactly what was expected. Perfect for what we needed. Only complaint was the neighbors outside lights were on all night and there are skylights so it lit up our room all night which was annoying. Nothing that could be fixed by property owner.

Great location and kitchen totally set up
We enjoyed our time and used the fully-stocked kitchen (including needed condiments in fridge). Even saw a buck emerge from under the deck and amble around. While it was hot (80s) when we were there, the fans and open windows did the trick.
