Great family snow trip
Casa Sierra was clean, comfortable, and spacious for our family of four - a great base camp for snow outings, a cozy place to return to for the evenings. We enjoyed cooking dinner each night in the kitchen before selecting from the plentiful game shelf, and our kids actually forgot about wanting to watch movies (though that would have been fun too). Thanks for a wonderful family trip, we would love to come back again!

Decent Value, but needs to be updated
We recently stayed in this rental with our family of 6. Part of the reason I booked this property was because the listing photos showed a baby crib in one of the bedrooms, and we were traveling with a 4-month-old. Luckily I emailed the owners the week before we left, because when I asked to make sure the crib was there they informed me that they had removed the crib, but hadn't bothered to update the listing photos. The house is sadly overdue for updates. If you look up the listing photos from the last time the house sold, you can see that the owners haven't done anything to update it in many years, including the old shag carpet. The kitchen is poorly laid out, with the fridge blocking half of the counter space. It's incredibly awkward. The house is falling apart in many areas, including electrical outlets that are so old that they no longer hold onto chargers when you insert them, making them unsafe to use. The dishwasher is broken, so that when you try to roll out the dish tray it crashes around. The shelves in the fridge are broken and duct taped with cardboard. The kitchen hood vent over the stove doesn't actually vent anywhere, so it just dumps the steam back into the room. The mattresses are old and uncomfortable. The listing advertised a wood stove with firewood, but there was no wood in the house or the garage, or the storage area. The house was also missing basic things like hand soap. Overall, the price was decent, but I would not recommend.

The Perfect Winter Getaway
We had a phenomenally cozy snowy end to winter at this cabin for the second year in a row. The cabin is spacious yet warm with ample access to snow fun of all types for all ages (our group ranged from baby to senior). The kitchen is well stocked and the fridge is full-sized which made it easy for us to bring enough food to make dinner every night, but there are also many options within a short drive to pick up groceries or meals. The hosts were super accommodating due to somewhat severe weather (both years!) and very helpful and responsive. I highly recommend staying here and we will definitely be back soon.

Residents of the SF Bay Area who use Casa Sierra as a vacation home

Why they chose this property

Tahoe Donner is a year-round vacation getaway. We love to ski and golf and we love the tons of amenities. We also love that it is easy to get to quickly, just off of I-80 once you cross Donner Pass. It's about a half hour closer to the SF Bay Area and Sacramento than anyplace else in the Lake Tahoe Basin yet has easy and quick access to everything fun about the Lake Tahoe Basin.

What makes this property unique

Golf, horse back riding, swimming, hiking, fishing, private beach on Donner Lake, summer concerts, hay rack rides, western campfire BBQs, winter skiing, sledding, great restaurants, spending times with family and friends.
