Great stay near the Donner downhill ski resort. The house was great and the hot tub was a treat to relax in after skiing. (Tip bring chains or good snow tires if there’s a snow storm in the forecast for the driveway.)

Terrific location in North Tahoe near plenty of restaurants and stores. But it's best to just enjoy the comfortable house with great amenities.
