The photos don't match the reality!

This house has seen some hard living. The carpet was filthy, with numerous mysterious stains. We made sure we wore slippers at all times in the interests of hygiene. Sofas had been repaired with duct tape, and one dining chair was on the verge of collapse, TV remote was missing bits and looked like it had not worked since the VHS era. Pots and pans were in poor condition. We booked this place because of the shared hot tub, but there were no amenity passes in the place (and in fact no information package at all). The front desk of the Tahoe Donner recreation center had told us that we would absolutely not be allowed access to the hot tub without the passes. After numerous phone calls trying to arrange access to the hot tub, escalating our calls through managers, regional managers, VRBO and others, we eventually got permission to enjoy what we had paid for. Over the years, we have stayed in numerous Tahoe houses and have always had great experiences with VRBO until now. This place stands alone for all the wrong reasons. VRBO needs to pay more attention to quality control.

Great size for our party. Excellent for families

The house was nice and spacious with the perfect amount of beds. The downstairs area was perfect for kids. When we entered the house we were a bit shocked over how dirty the carpet was. Then when you head downstairs the walls are covered in something that had been spilled and once again nasty carpets. We didn’t want to take our shoes off that’s for sure. The pots and pans were very sketchy. We lost a dozen eggs to a non stick pan that left black flakes in the food. Now as far as towels and soaps and dish soaps and garbage sacks we had plenty. The downstairs tile bathroom is nice and big but when you use the shower it doesn’t drain making you stand in gunk. We’ve always purposely used vacasa in every vacation at the coast and been very happy. Unfortunately this house was a great space but had some cleanliness issues for us.

The worst rental we have ever been in

My family has been staying in vacation rentals for 10 years. We love vacationing this way. We have never had a bad experience until this one. From day one we had issues. I “booked now” and was charged a different price than was advertised with out my approval. And was told the listed price is an average when I asked why I was charged so much more. That was just the beginning. When we got there the place was filthy. Carpets were disgusting ( they are really stained and I was so glad I didn’t have any babies crawling on them), but there literally was trash, food and paper on the carpets. There was clothing under beds, toys out downstairs, kitchen counters and table were sticky and gross. Dishes were dirty in the cupboard. We spent most of our first day cleaning. Vacuuming, cleaning the kitchen, washing sheets (we had to wash all of them bedding. We could literally see hairs and all sorts of stuff on the sheets). Pillows were yellow when we took off pillow cases. We had to shovel a pathway to the front door because the only way to it was walking on about 18 inches of slippery icy snow. We could not find bath towels any where. I called and we got a phone call back about 5 hours later. We finally found a load of towels in the dryer, but they were dirty and we had to rewash them. The dishwasher racks were broken. 2 kitchen drawers were totally broken and no tracks. The knife drawer literally came out and fell to the floor. The beds were really hard and bunk beds were super squeaky. It also says no pets and we found a closet with a bunch of cat stuff. (Maybe the owners stuff??). We had several people who were allergic to cats. There were 2 DVD players and neither worked. We left messages and never heard back. In the end we made it and adventure after we cleaned. The only positive was there was plenty of room for the 12 of us and the kids loved playing pool.

Comfortable but dirty house

The house was comfortable place to stay, but the pictures of the house are outdated. They show a clean house but in reality the carpets are very stained, the couches are duct taped together, the air hockey table was damaged, and to top it all off, a few crucial lights were burnt out. Will not be returning to this house unfortunately.

Great Place

It was very clean and accommodating. It had everything we need. We especially loved the big bath tub with dual showers and the game room. Our stay was very private with no one around to bother us.

Big home for 12

We enjoyed our stay. There were a few items that need updating in this home. But great location and nice area close to Squaw Valley! We were here to attend an event and this place accommodated our group of 12 guests. The manager Ernest was absolutely amazing to work with! He provided us the necessity that was missing in the cabin! Thank you so much! We would love to see this house with updated furnishings and we will definitely come back!!!

Truckee Home Pass It

This home is in a nice location but very dirty, many things broken or not working and require to be fixed. If you use the local facility they advertise through the filter to have a pool/hot tub, it is a shared facility 7 minutes from the house. You must have passes with the owners name and it is still $8.00 per person. No information about this when we arrive and one of the reasons we rented the house. We were very disappointed. Game room is the nicest part of the house. I would not stay here until many of the broken items are fixed. I would also recommend an update to the deck, BBQ (to a gas grill) and cleaner furniture. The deck needs painting.

Uncomfortable Living and Unprofessional Service

When we first arrived, the trash outside in front of the house was scattered everywhere in front of the garage and driveway. It was not a pleasant arrival, and it smelled! We called residential services three times so we would get ahold of someone to take care of it, but no one picked up. A neighbor noticed our inconvenience, and put in extra effort to help us get rid of the trash. Next, the carpet in the house was dirty; there were stains spotted everywhere. No one felt comfortable walking barefoot or around the house with that kind of unsanitary condition. The dining table was unstable and shook a bit-- it could have been a hazard for us to eat there. The A/C in the house was broken, as to many other parts of the house, such as the garage and the railing of the walkway outside. There was trash when we would open some of the cupboards. We did not feel 100% comfortable with our stay there.

13838 Copenhagen Truckee, ca

This was a nice, big home but the refridgerator wasn't cold enough (called to report but never got a response). The dishwasher was filthy and not working, the trash compactor was broken , but no big deal. The stuffing was coming out of the arms of the couch and couch was uncomfortable. The deck railings were broken with exposed wiring for lights. The deck was rough with nails popping out. There was black mold downstairs. Will not rent again unless we were guaranteed that everything was repaired and everything up to date!

Cheap but NEGLECTED

Wish we had looked at the more recent reviews before renting this place -- the positive reviews were listed first, but the dates are from last year! We contacted Vacasa (which was very quick to respond!) about the concerns listed in the bad (more recent reviews, which we didn't scroll down enough to see the first time -- lesson learned!) and were told the issues (mainly, sauna & dishwasher) were being addressed by the property managers. We kept our fingers crossed. Here's what we found: Positives: 1. Cheap! We have paid more for rentals over the decade we have been doing this annual trip. We kept reminding ourselves that we were saving money this year. 2. The sauna was working!! Our teens loved it. 3. Linens were provided for bedding and towels (NO KITCHEN TOWELS, though) 4. Game room/bar -- all the game equipment was functional, so our teens enjoyed themselves (the sauna/game room was the reason we rented this property) 5. Toilets and water pressure/temperature worked fine, as did the furnace. We didn't experience the problems other reviewers did, thankfully. 6. Family/dining area was roomy with plenty of seating Negatives: 1. Dishwasher still was NOT repaired or replaced, and there were dirty dishes and standing water in it when we arrived. 2 . So many things are BROKEN or do NOT work, that it became comical: recliner, DVD, Apple TV (the old TVs don't support any of the devices that are there), CD player, trash compactor, lamps, jet tub, closet doors, drawers . . . . 3. There were drips and water damage in the ceilings, causing pieces of plaster to fall off the walls. 4. There was dried vomit on one of the bedroom walls/floor downstairs 5. The kitchen was the worst we've seen -- not well stocked (no large cooking pot) and stove top was difficult to regulate temp. And of course, no dishwasher as promised. Worn and old carpet/furnishing are fine with us when we rent at this price point (although ripped couches with stuffing exposed is a bit much), and overall the most important reason for our rental (game room and sauna) came through for us. But it was frustrating to be told things were being "addressed" and find out that wasn't exactly the case. The description claims to have all these amenities, but so few of them are actually functional. This property could be a great rental if it wasn't so neglected.

unmaintained - numerous safety issues

Numerous deferred maintenance items leading to safety/liability issues. 1. Dishwasher not working and it has mildewy water sitting in the bottom. 2. No door on the sauna so it is essentially not working even though it is listed on the VRBO website as an amenity. 3. There is a broken widow in and upstairs bedroom. 4. Many lightbulbs throughout the house are not working, including several of the lights along the entry walkway. Too many overall to count. 5. In the downstairs bathroom there is a cabinet door that is hanging off with exposed nails. 6. Entry railing has collapsed with numerous exposed nails. 7. Some of the pillows are filthy and the carpets throughout are also filthy. 8. The bunk beds are extremely wobbly including the upper bunk railings. We could only use 1 upper bunk. Extremely hazardous - extreme liability. 9. The fireplace has a vent that exits in the downstairs game room. It has a plastic bag and packing tape over it. The game room gets full of fumes and smoke when the fireplace is lit. This makes the fireplace unusable. Extremely hazardous - extreme liability. 10. There was no firewood which would be fine if your guests knew about it and could bring firewood with them. 11. The VRBO page says that the kitchen is well-stocked. There's only one pot. The Teflon skillets are all extremely scratched. no spatula. Bring these items and all spices, oils, sugar, etc. 12. One of the doors to the laundry room is completely unhinged and unusable. 13. The linen closet is in complete disarray. The items were literally thrown into that closet. 14. The ceiling in the game room has holes in it and there is mildew. 16. The code for the spare lock box does not work. The bathrooms and kitchen (aside from the dishwasher) were all very clean. Nice location. The game tables were all functioning. Additionally, I would say that the Vacasa office I was talking to in Oregon was very quick to respond to my emails and phone calls. I would not recommend this property. There are so many others to choose from that are in better shape. We selected this one this time because the other 2 we usually rent were not available during the time we needed them.

Overall good stay

We enjoyed our stay at Serenity at Tahoe Donner. But there are couple things that owners should pay attention on, little upgrades like TV's, couches and carpet flooring. We liked that cabin have sauna,but for some reason it has no door. Pool table and bar area was very nice. Overall , it was good experience

Bad shape, lots of things not as advertised

Not as advertised: Dishwasher broken, sauna doesn't have door so can't use it, not a full kitchen (no big pot to boil pasta, no small pot to heat sauce), jets on jet tub don't work, there was dirty laundry in the washer and clean laundry in the dryer. More generally: stuffing coming out of couches, carpets stained, cracked windows, bunk beds broken... it's in general disrepair

Nice house for good price, but some things don't work.

I would stay here again. We got a bargain midweek, late spring, at $99 per night and it was definitely worth it. Dishwasher was broken. Since we had a relatively small group, we made do and we were fine handwashing. But something like that should have been taken care of. It needs to be fixed sooner or later. Why not sooner?

What a filthy mess

Don't be fooled by the pictures. This place is a wreck that hasn't see any update or fixes in years. No door on the sauna. Dishwasher does not work. Hot water runs out after one shower. Clear evidence that a cat is kept there. Foosball table only for left handed players. Filled garbage bags left in the garage and on side of walkway, Leaky sink in bathroom with water filled bucket beneath it (are we supposed to empty the bucket?). Half burned logs and newspaper filling the fireplace. Filthy and damaged carpet that must be 20 years old. Tiny television. Spilled garbage in front of the garage whose remote control did not work (could be forgiven as it looks like garage electric lines taken out by snow). Fuzzball the size of my hand in the few closets not reserved by owner. All this nicely documented by pictures i wish i could post. Vacasa and local folks very nice on the phone and did remove piles of garbage bags in the garage. They failed to fix the dishwasher and made no attempt to replace missing sauna door. We did get a 327$ discount but would have preferred a less filthy and better functioning rental. We've been to different rentals in Tahoe Donner many times and this was the only truly bad place. One redeeming value was that the rental relatively cheap at ~$120 bucks after discount. BTW there is no master bedroom just two basic BR plus another two BR with 4 bunk beds in each. Copenhagen Street a total disaster. I ended up washing dishes by hand every day. Owner should put some real money into fixing it. Looks like its been rented for 20+ years with no upkeep.

The place has potential, the owner needs to put some money in to update the place. The place looks really nice on the pictures, but as soon as anybody walks in they are going to be disappointed
