I went up to Tahoe Donner for the first time with just my two kids and this little studio was perfect. It is literally the size of a hotel room, but had a killer little kitchen that had all you need to whip up all your meals. It is like a one minute walk to the ski slopes (maybe 5 with kids in ski boots). TD ski area is a perfect spot for families and kids learning to ski. Mine are only new to skiing, so I didnât want to go somewhere huge and expensive to stay on the beginner slopes. TD is fairly priced and approachable in every way, and you get a bonus discount on lift tickets with the included guest cards! Donât expect large or Uber luxury (though the kitchen is brand new and awesome) but it is super clean, well maintained, convenient and Sarah the owner is responsive and lovely.
A couple quick notes: she gets most of her bookings on other sites and VRBO has strange ways of contacting hosts. She missed my booking, but as soon as I contacted her directly she got right back to me. So if sheâs not responding, send her a text.
Lastly, the smoke alarm is right next to the kitchen and there isnât any hood fan, so maybe skip the bacon or any other smoky things. I set off the alarm twice with very little smoke from some bacon, haha.
