Awesome Setup for 2 Families!
We loved our stay at the Chic Chalet! The house setup was perfect with one large primary bedroom upstairs and 2 nice sized bedrooms downstairs - great for our two families. The house is easy to get to and the driveway is a very gentle slope, which was perfect during the snowy weather. The house backs up to a small creek, and our kids had a blast stomping around in the snow. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook and the living room was stocked with games for all ages! The house has tons of large windows and is fun and cozy! Overall we had a great stay!!Just a few things to note for other travelers: it is a pet-friendly property and though it was well cleaned when we got there, two of our friends had their allergies flare up. For coffee makers, there's a Keurig and a French Press/electric kettle. We brought coffee ground for a regular coffee machine but just used it in the press and it worked great! Last thing: bring sleep masks if you like it super dark at night. The neighbor's lights are quite bright (but he was also a very nice guy!). None of these things affected our stay, just thought it'd be helpful for others! :)

Beautiful Cabin had a very nice visit
Gorgeous clean cabin, very nicely stocked fridge, easy booking. This is nothing against the cabin, but there is no fenced area outside for dogs except for the wooden decks. I believe this may be the case for all of Tahoe Donner? Also you must be able to handle stairs with no issue. As long as this works you will have a lovely time. very quiet with beautiful local views.

Winter getaway
Great location. Close to ski resort which was nice since the lodge at the resort is closed. Skiers were able to come back to the house for a lunch break and then head back to ski with no problem. The house had everything we needed and then some.

Perfect Tahoe Donner Home
This home is ideally located in Tahoe Donner with great access to both alpine and nordic skiing. The home is well equipped and wonderfully comfortable. During our December stay we received a TON of snow and the driveway and roads were plowed and kept clear.

Great place but dog hair
The house is very nice overall. Good bedrooms, nice amenities. The listing does say dogs are allowed, but I did expect it to be cleaner. There is white dog hair all over the house, and it gets on every single piece of clothing, unfortunately. The house needs a deep clean to get rid of it all.

Great Location
This house has it all! We had the best time staying here for the weekend. It was clean and comfortable. There was a lot of area outside to play in the snow which we did a lot of! We stayed during a winter storm so it was a nice touch that the driveway was plowed and there was garage space to park! The home is fully stocked with everything you would ever need in the kitchen. They even had a whole shelf of games and activities for the kids. Definitely would recommend this home to anyone!
