Nice location in Tahoe Donner

Very good location, walking distance to the rec center, close to hikes and everything else that Tahoe Donner has to offer. The house is spacious and the kitchen as well stocked. The beds were a bit too soft to our liking and overall the house is not very new. Communication was very good and when we had an issue with the access to the recreation center, the owner resolved it very promptly.
